A10931	Certaine sermons preached and penned by Richard Rogers preacher of Weathersfield in Essex, directly tending to these three ends. First, to bring any bad person (that hath not committed the sinne that is vnpardonable) to true conuersion. Secondly, to stablish and settle all such as are conuerted, in faith and repentance. Thirdly, to leade them forward (that are so setled) in the Christian life, to bring foorth the fruite of both. Whereunto are annexed diuers godlie and learned sermons of another reuerend and faithfull seruant of God, Mr. Samuel Wright, Bachelor of Diuinitie, late president of Sidney Colledge in Camebridge, deceased, tending also to the same ends, with diuers particular points in both, profitable and fit for these times.	Rogers, Richard, 1550?-1618.; Wright, Samuel, d. ca. 1612. aut	1612 (1612)	STC 21203; ESTC S116121	188,868	230

word_n of_o the_o prophet_n fall_v upon_o they_o and_o with_o a_o mighty_a weight_n press_v they_o down_o when_o he_o say_v why_o do_v you_o bestow_v your_o cost_n and_o care_n and_o yet_o not_o for_o that_o which_o will_v do_v you_o good_a neither_o be_v able_a to_o satisfy_v your_o soul_n with_o the_o food_n and_o bread_n of_o life_n all_o which_o the_o best_a that_o can_v be_v say_v of_o it_o be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v but_o lose_a labour_n and_o they_o in_o so_o do_v may_v just_o be_v compare_v to_o they_o who_o bestow_v their_o money_n upon_o their_o lust_n in_o sundry_a mispending_a of_o which_o shall_v be_v employ_v upon_o they_o and_o their_o family_n gospeler_n but_o to_o pass_v from_o they_o there_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o man_n who_o the_o prophet_n reproof_n do_v reach_v

near_o to_o he_o with_o their_o body_n 2d_o their_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o he_o who_o say_v lord_n lord_n indeed_o but_o yet_o do_v not_o the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n neither_o be_v natural_a man_n can_v be_v obedient_a unto_o it_o 8.7_o with_o their_o lip_n they_o confess_v he_o but_o with_o their_o deed_n they_o deny_v he_o and_o therefore_o be_v far_o from_o the_o happiness_n which_o i_o now_o speak_v of_o among_o who_o this_o i_o say_v as_o of_o the_o former_a sort_n that_o though_o some_o of_o they_o do_v simple_o desire_v eternal_a life_n as_o they_o seem_v to_o do_v yet_o

we_o say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n 9.31.32_o say_v he_o that_o israel_n which_o follow_v the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n yet_o can_v not_o attain_v to_o the_o law_n of_o

which_o they_o desire_v for_o he_o do_v not_o express_o mention_v in_o this_o verse_n wherein_o he_o will_v have_v they_o hear_v he_o answ_n for_o answer_v to_o this_o we_o be_v to_o remember_v that_o

that_o come_v to_o know_v the_o incomparable_a value_n and_o excellency_n of_o it_o he_o will_v think_v no_o pain_n too_o great_a nor_o cost_n to_o much_o that_o he_o may_v obtain_v it_o nor_o any_o

the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v lay_v down_o in_o this_o form_n and_o manner_n the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v like_a unto_o a_o most_o precious_a

his_o beginning_n and_o first_o estate_n that_o he_o be_v in_o to_o god-ward_o thereby_o be_v liken_v to_o a_o merchant_n man_n and_o to_o such_o a_o one_o as_o by_o the_o kind_n of_o his_o traffic_n

second_o he_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o merchant_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o event_n that_o come_v after_o his_o seek_n that_o as_o he_o seek_v common_a pearl_n light_v sometime_o on_o a_o pearl_n of_o

follow_v for_o when_o he_o have_v find_v that_o pearl_n of_o great_a price_n he_o sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o buy_v it_o so_o the_o hearer_n that_o have_v find_v this_o pearl_n of_o

they_o all_o away_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v enjoy_v this_o to_o prosecute_v these_o three_o therefore_o in_o order_n that_o you_o may_v have_v the_o right_a use_n of_o this_o parable_n
