word_n his_o penitency_n for_o his_o sin_n and_o thankfulness_n to_o the_o lord_n for_o spare_v he_o till_o his_o son_n day_n in_o the_o 1_o sam._n 3._o 18._o when_o samuel_n have_v tell_v to_o ely_n

heart_n to_o yield_v themselves_o to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n now_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o wicked_a will_v acknowledge_v reverence_n or_o regard_v the_o word_n of_o god_n no_o further_o than_o they_o may_v make_v use_n of_o it_o for_o their_o own_o carnal_a turn_n and_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o they_o otherwise_o they_o reject_v it_o as_o superfluous_a and_o unprofitable_a for_o they_o when_o the_o word_n by_o the_o application_n thereof_o like_o a_o sovereign_a salve_n begin_v to_o work_v upon_o the_o conscience_n heart_n affection_n and_o conversation_n of_o life_n for_o their_o true_a and_o sound_a conversion_n then_o begin_v they_o to_o show_v forth_o the_o stubbornness_n rebellion_n and_o hypocrisy_n that_o lie_v hide_v in_o they_o unknown_a to_o

but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n in_o particular_a than_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o man_n the_o preacher_n speak_v they_o of_o malice_n of_o some_o false_a information_n of_o his_o own_o uncharitable_a disposition_n of_o indiscreet_a zeal_n or_o from_o a_o fantastical_a spirit_n nothing_o can_v please_v they_o he_o must_v walk_v wary_o he_o

example_n hereof_o we_o have_v in_o jer._n 43._o 2._o 3._o then_o speak_v azariah_n johanan_n and_o all_o the_o proud_a man_n say_v to_o jeremie_n thou_o speak_v false_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n have_v not_o send_v thou_o to_o say_v go_v not_o into_o egypt_n to_o dwell_v there_o 3._o but_o baruch_n the_o son_n of_o neriah_n provoke_v thou_o against_o we_o etc._n etc._n in_o the_o former_a chapter_n they_o beseech_v jeremie_n to_o pray_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o they_o that_o the_o lord_n may_v show_v unto_o they_o the_o way_n wherein_o they_o may_v walk_v and_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v promise_v yea_o take_v god_n to_o witness_v that_o they_o will_v do_v whatsoever_o the_o lord_n command_v they_o by_o he_o now_o after_o ten_o day_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o jeremie_n which_o jeremie_n faithful_o declare_v unto_o they_o that_o if_o they_o will_v dwell_v in_o their_o own_o land_n the_o lord_n will_v build_v they_o and_o not_o destroy_v they_o plant_v they_o and_o not_o root_v they_o out_o that_o he_o will_v be_v with_o they_o to_o save_v and_o deliver_v they_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o pharaoh_n but_o if_o they_o will_v go_v into_o egypt_n for_o safety_n and_o protection_n that_o then_o the_o sword_n famine_n and_o pestilence_n which_o they_o so_o fear_v shall_v overtake_v they_o now_o they_o hear_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o plot_n which_o they_o have_v lay_v already_o and_o prefer_v their_o own_o devise_n and_o policy_n before_o the_o lord_n will_v they_o begin_v to_o find_v excuse_n and_o delay_n thereby_o to_o shuffle_v off_o and_o put_v away_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o plain_o appear_v in_o these_o two_o verse_n before_o allege_v wherein_o observe_v first_o that_o hypocrite_n determine_v with_o themselves_o what_o they_o will_v do_v and_o how_o and_o after_o what_o manner_n they_o will_v live_v even_o according_a to_o their_o own_o judgement_n and_o after_o the_o imagination_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n they_o will_v hear_v what_o the_o lord_n say_v now_o that_o which_o they_o think_v to_o be_v agreeable_a to_o they_o they_o praise_v commend_v and_o approve_v as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o when_o it_o dissent_v from_o they_o and_o be_v contrary_n to_o their_o own_o like_n when_o it_o convince_v reprove_v or_o touch_v they_o as_o we_o say_v than_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o man_n and_o not_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o for_o this_o purpose_n they_o have_v excuse_n argument_n and_o reason_n at_o will_n for_o the_o confirm_v and_o harden_v of_o themselves_o in_o their_o own_o course_n and_o trade_n of_o life_n second_o observe_v herein_o that_o pride_n of_o heart_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o rebellion_n and_o contempt_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o consequent_o of_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o person_n in_o these_o word_n and_o all_o the_o proud_a man_n three_o observe_v the_o quality_n of_o secret_a hypocrisy_n when_o it_o be_v plain_o and_o direct_o convince_v and_o reprove_v in_o particular_a it_o break_v forth_o into_o open_a rage_n lay_v imputation_n on_o the_o minister_n for_o the_o excuse_n &_o hide_v of_o itself_o in_o these_o word_n thou_o speak_v false_o four_o observe_v that_o hypocrite_n will_v be_v count_v good_a christian_n and_o call_v god_n their_o god_n and_o yet_o will_v despise_v their_o pastor_n and_o contemn_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n speak_v by_o they_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n five_o note_v the_o nature_n of_o hypocrisy_n they_o will_v obey_v god_n and_o embrace_v his_o word_n if_o they_o be_v sure_a that_o his_o messenger_n speak_v truth_n whereas_o indeed_o they_o be_v far_o from_o all_o obedience_n have_v not_o send_v thou_o six_o note_v the_o common_a slander_n and_o imputation_n of_o common_a hypocrisy_n but_o baruch_n &c._n &c._n another_o plain_a example_n hereof_o there_o be_v 1_o king_n 22._o 8._o jehesaphat_n and_o ahab_n be_v to_o fight_v against_o the_o king_n of_o aram_n for_o ramoth_n gilead_n jehosaphat_n pray_v he_o to_o ask_v counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o ahab_n gather_v together_o four_o hundred_o false_a prophet_n which_o agree_v all_o in_o one_o tale_n for_o this_o be_v the_o resolution_n of_o every_o false_a prophet_n to_o please_v but_o these_o prophet_n jehosaphat_n much_o regard_v not_o therefore_o he_o ask_v if_o there_o be_v never_o a_o prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n yes_o say_v ahab_n there_o be_v yet_o one_o man_n micah_n the_o son_n of_o imlah_n but_o i_o hate_v he_o for_o he_o never_o prophesy_v good_a unto_o i_o likewise_o in_o amos._n 7._o amos_n have_v prophesy_v destruction_n to_o the_o wicked_a king_n jeroboam_fw-la for_o his_o idolatry_n and_o other_o sin_n that_o accompany_v the_o same_o the_o covetous_a king_n amaziah_n accuse_v he_o secret_o to_o the_o king_n of_o conspiracy_n but_o when_o by_o that_o way_n he_o prevail_v not_o he_o assay_v by_o another_o practice_n to_o stop_v his_o mouth_n in_o the_o 12._o and_o 13._o verse_n a_o notable_a example_n hereof_o also_o there_o be_v in_o luk._n 4._o the_o nazaren_n can_v willing_o here_o our_o saviour_n christ_n read_v his_o text_n out_o of_o esay_n and_o interpret_v the_o same_o scripture_n of_o himself_o but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o reprove_v they_o for_o their_o infidilitie_n and_o prefer_v

of_o a_o rock_n to_o cast_v he_o down_o headlong_o furthermore_o it_o be_v the_o common_a practse_n of_o the_o rebellious_a israelite_n always_o to_o lay_v slander_n and_o false_a imputation_n upon_o the_o true_a prophet_n and_o to_o term_v they_o false_a prophet_n if_o they_o prophesy_v of_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n than_o they_o general_o believe_v they_o and_o if_o some_o one_o or_o few_o be_v doubtful_a or_o distrustful_a yet_o they_o will_v not_o count_v they_o false_a prophet_n but_o if_o they_o convince_v they_o or_o reprove_v they_o for_o sin_n denounce_v vengeance_n upon_o they_o unless_o they_o repent_v then_o on_o the_o contrary_a general_o they_o count_v they_o fals-prophet_n have_v they_o mock_v they_o give_v they_o by-word_n imprison_v they_o ston_a they_o except_v some_o very_a few_o if_o the_o false-prophet_n speak_v of_o peace_n victory_n and_o prosperity_n and_o the_o same_o come_v not_o to_o pass_v yet_o they_o be_v not_o punish_v though_o by_o the_o law_n they_o be_v command_v to_o stone_n such_o to_o death_n but_o when_o the_o true_a prophet_n speak_v of_o god_n judgement_n for_o their_o sin_n they_o be_v out_o of_o hand_n and_o without_o any_o delay_n
