make_v grateful_a and_o acceptable_a to_o the_o people_n this_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o anoint_v of_o solomon_n in_o mount_n zion_n first_o that_o he_o be_v assign_v and_o appoint_v by_o god_n

this_o teach_v we_o that_o christ_n will_v not_o enter_v upon_o so_o needful_a a_o business_n and_o so_o great_a a_o work_n as_o the_o save_n of_o man_n soul_n that_o he_o will_v not_o intrude_v or_o thrust_v himself_o upon_o it_o till_o he_o be_v assign_v and_o appoint_v of_o god_n this_o therefore_o must_v teach_v we_o 1_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o intrude_v or_o thrust_v ourselves_o upon_o any_o business_n or_o upon_o any_o call_n till_o it_o be_v assign_v or_o appoint_v of_o god_n unto_o we_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n in_o the_o scripture_n why_o the_o holy_a man_n be_v so_o careful_a to_o approve_v their_o call_n as_o exod._n 3._o 15._o and_o god_n speak_v further_o unto_o moses_n thus_o shall_v thou_o say_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n the_o lord_n god_n of_o your_o

of_o the_o gentile_n so_o jer._n 17._o 16._o but_o i_o have_v not_o thrust_v in_o myself_o for_o a_o pastor_n after_o thou_o and_o amos_n 7._o 14._o then_o answer_v amos_n and_o say_v unto_o amaziah_n i_o be_v no_o prophet_n neither_o be_v i_o a_o prophet_n son_n but_o i_o be_v a_o herdsman_n and_o gather_v wild_a fig_n and_o the_o lord_n take_v i_o as_o i_o follow_v the_o flock_n and_o the_o

we_o be_v assign_v or_o appoint_v of_o god_n to_o it_o we_o read_v luk._n 12._o 14._o when_o the_o man_n come_v to_o christ_n to_o have_v divide_v his_o inheritance_n man_n say_v he_o who_o make_v i_o a_o judge_n and_o a_o divider_n we_o see_v that_o christ_n will_v not_o intrude_v himself_o into_o that_o he_o be_v not_o assign_v to_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o to_o they_o that_o be_v ready_a to_o thrust_v themselves_o upon_o every_o matter_n like_o peter_n john_n 21._o 22._o when_o christ_n have_v tell_v he_o what_o shall_v befall_v he_o peter_n say_v to_o christ_n what_o shall_v this_o man_n do_v christ_n answer_n be_v what_o be_v that_o to_o thou_o look_v to_o thy_o own_o business_n and_o look_v to_o thy_o own_o call_n so_o when_o we_o be_v busy_a about_o other_o man_n calling_n or_o matter_n and_o intrude_v into_o they_o not_o have_v any_o call_n from_o god_n christ_n reproof_n may_v well_o be_v apply_v what_o be_v that_o to_o thou_o meddle_v with_o thy_o own_o business_n simile_n and_o call_v a_o river_n as_o long_o as_o it_o keep_v within_o his_o own_o bank_n run_v clear_a but_o if_o it_o swell_v and_o flow_v over_o the_o bank_n it_o gather_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o soil_n and_o baggage_n so_o as_o long_o as_o a_o man_n keep_v within_o his_o bound_n and_o bank_n all_o be_v well_o but_o if_o he_o once_o break_v over_o than_o he_o gather_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o

needful_a work_n upon_o he_o till_o he_o be_v appoint_v of_o god_n unto_o it_o second_o 2._o see_v god_n appoint_v and_o assign_v unto_o christ_n this_o office_n of_o redeem_v and_o save_v we_o and_o that_o he_o be_v well_o please_v with_o he_o therefore_o we_o shall_v so_o accept_v of_o he_o and_o receive_v he_o as_o psal_n 2._o 12._o kiss_v the_o son_n lest_o he_o be_v angry_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v be_v ready_a to_o entertain_v and_o to_o take_v he_o as_o the_o lord_n of_o your_o life_n the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v give_v before_o verse_n 6._o because_o he_o have_v set_v he_o as_o king_n upon_o zion_n his_o holy_a mountain_n therefore_o we_o must_v kiss_v he_o and_o seek_v to_o have_v his_o favour_n and_o to_o receive_v he_o as_o the_o lord_n of_o our_o life_n we_o read_v joh._n 1._o 11._o it_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o christ_n come_v among_o his_o own_o and_o his_o own_o receive_v he_o not_o if_o they_o have_v be_v stranger_n and_o have_v not_o know_v

have_v make_v he_o christ_n than_o our_o sin_n be_v so_o much_o the_o great_a when_o peter_n have_v proclaim_v he_o to_o be_v christ_n unto_o the_o jew_n 37._o straight_a way_n they_o be_v prick_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v he_o o_o that_o this_o may_v work_v the_o like_a affection_n in_o we_o that_o when_o we_o hear_v that_o god_n have_v make_v he_o christ_n and_o the_o lord_n of_o life_n that_o we_o may_v be_v prick_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o be_v content_v to_o let_v all_o go_v to_o lay_v hold_n of_o he_o second_o work_n this_o anoint_v be_v to_o be_v do_v upon_o the_o people_n to_o show_v that_o he_o so_o choose_v be_v furnish_v with_o all_o gift_n and_o grace_n fit_a to_o discharge_v the_o call_n and_o work_n he_o be_v assign_v unto_o for_o as_o i_o

be_v not_o a_o weak_a one_o but_o he_o be_v enable_v of_o god_n for_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n in_o isaiah_n it_o be_v say_v the_o people_n make_v i_o no_o prince_n nor_o i_o can_v be_v no_o

assign_v he_o unto_o of_o christ_n it_o be_v say_v psal_n 89._o 19_o thou_o speak_v then_o in_o a_o vision_n unto_o thy_o holy_a one_o and_o say_v i_o have_v lay_v help_n upon_o one_o that_o be_v

grape_n and_o thy_o tooth_n be_v set_v on_o edge_n with_o they_o it_o be_v i_o that_o have_v sin_v but_o lord_n thou_o have_v do_v nothing_o worthy_a of_o these_o great_a pain_n therefore_o o_o lord_n that_o i_o may_v never_o forget_v this_o great_a love_n of_o thou_o though_o i_o can_v perfume_v thy_o body_n as_o mary_n do_v with_o sweet_a spice_n yet_o will_v i_o never_o cease_v to_o wash_v it_o with_o the_o daily_a tear_n of_o true_a repentance_n for_o my_o sin_n but_o alas_o we_o can_v weep_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o our_o wife_n of_o our_o child_n but_o we_o can_v weep_v for_o our_o sin_n therefore_o we_o shall_v do_v as_o the_o physician_n simile_n who_o when_o he_o find_v man_n dangerous_o bleed_v at_o the_o nose_n let_v they_o blood_n in_o another_o place_n and_o so_o turn_v the_o

christ_n be_v crucify_v for_o they_o second_o 2._o see_v christ_n be_v crucify_v we_o shall_v labour_v to_o see_v all_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n crucify_v with_o he_o for_o when_o christ_n be_v upon_o the_o cross_n he_o pull_v the_o devil_n sin_n death_n and_o damnation_n to_o the_o cross_n with_o he_o and_o so_o also_o be_v crucify_v so_o christ_n be_v not_o crucify_v alone_o but_o all_o the_o enemy_n of_o man_n salvation_n with_o he_o so_o the_o apostle_n coloss_n 2._o 14._o speak_v hereof_o say_v and_o put_v out_o the_o hand-writing_n of_o ordinance_n that_o be_v against_o we_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o we_o he_o even_o take_v it_o out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o fasten_v it_o to_o his_o cross_n and_o have_v spoil_v the_o principality_n and_o power_n he_o make_v a_o show_n of_o they_o open_o triumph_v over_o they_o in_o it_o therefore_o the_o same_o cross_n that_o serve_v to_o crucify_v christ_n the_o same_o have_v serve_v to_o crucify_v our_o spiritual_a enemy_n and_o though_o the_o jew_n see_v none_o but_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n thou_o that_o be_v a_o christian_n must_v go_v further_o and_o see_v all_o the_o enemy_n of_o man_n salvation_n the_o devil_n damnation_n and_o sin_n crucify_v with_o he_o three_o 3_o see_v christ_n be_v crucify_v upon_o the_o cross_n we_o must_v be_v content_v to_o crucify_v ourselves_o and_o therefore_o after_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n we_o must_v go_v to_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n and_o nail_v our_o hand_n and_o foot_n unto_o the_o cross_n that_o we_o may_v not_o move_v a_o hand_n or_o a_o foot_n to_o displease_v god_n nay_o we_o must_v go_v further_o and_o crucify_v our_o sinful_a and_o carnal_a lust_n and_o inordinate_a affection_n for_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o affection_n and_o lust_n thereof_o so_o that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o true_a christian_a but_o have_v be_v upon_o the_o cross_n already_o and_o have_v carry_v his_o corruption_n thither_o to_o be_v crucify_v therefore_o look_v how_o busy_a the_o jew_n be_v in_o crucify_a of_o christ_n be_v thou_o as_o busy_a to_o crucify_v thy_o sin_n and_o corruption_n howsoever_o man_n may_v talk_v of_o the_o crucify_a of_o christ_n yet_o if_o thou_o have_v no_o care_n to_o crucify_v thy_o sin_n and_o thy_o carnal_a lust_n thou_o can_v have_v no_o comfort_n by_o it_o be_v sure_a then_o as_o the_o jew_n do_v apprehend_v christ_n condemn_v he_o set_v a_o crown_n of_o thorn_n upon_o his_o head_n spit_v on_o his_o face_n nail_v he_o to_o the_o

never_o rise_v again_o four_o 4._o see_v christ_n be_v crucify_v and_o suffer_v such_o extremity_n this_o must_v teach_v we_o to_o see_v what_o extremity_n all_o unrepentant_a sinner_n must_v look_v
