you_o want_v peace_n when_o you_o be_v in_o trouble_n and_o fear_n but_o when_o you_o be_v not_o in_o trouble_n and_o fear_n than_o it_o put_v not_o on_o the_o heart_n to_o performance_n of_o duty_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n put_v on_o the_o soul_n to_o duty_n when_o there_o be_v most_o peace_n and_o comfort_n 6_o a_o little_a will_v serve_v the_o turn_n to_o satisfy_v a_o natural_a

to_o offer_v our_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n unto_o god_n we_o come_v nigh_o to_o god_n to_o offer_v it_o be_v the_o offering_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n because_o the_o creature_n come_v to_o bring_v a_o present_a to_o god_n therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o and_o second_o the_o soul_n be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n in_o holy_a

he_o do_v use_v to_o let_v out_o himself_o through_o in_o a_o more_o special_a and_o glorious_a manner_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o people_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o heaven_n be_v say_v to_o

there_o in_o a_o more_o glorious_a manner_n than_o in_o any_o other_o place_n and_o therefore_o heaven_n be_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o a_o more_o special_a way_n now_o than_o if_o the_o

and_o to_o be_v before_o his_o face_n because_o they_o be_v there_o where_o god_n do_v most_o communicate_v himself_o then_o certain_o when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n we_o come_v to_o be_v near_o god_n and_o be_v with_o god_n because_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n be_v those_o mean_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v for_o the_o let_v out_o of_o himself_o in_o the_o glory_n of_o

because_o than_o we_o shall_v and_o if_o we_o worship_n god_n as_o we_o ought_v we_o do_v act_v our_o faith_n and_o humility_n and_o all_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n we_o do_v act_v they_o as_o it_o be_v upon_o god_n when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_v he_o that_o be_v require_v in_o every_o duty_n of_o worship_n that_o you_o shall_v stir_v up_o the_o faculty_n of_o your_o soul_n and_o all_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o you_o shall_v act_v they_o upon_o god_n when_o you_o be_v worship_v of_o he_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o come_v with_o grace_n when_o you_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o act_n of_o that_o grace_n upon_o god_n and_o so_o we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o the_o act_n of_o grace_n upon_o god_n it_o be_v a_o draw_v near_o to_o he_o therefore_o in_o isa_n 29.13_o the_o lord_n complain_v there_o this_o people_n draw_v near_o to_o i_o with_o their_o lip_n but_o their_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o i_o as_o if_o god_n

that_o be_v the_o meaning_n and_o in_o zeph_n 3.2_o god_n complain_v there_o of_o his_o people_n that_o they_o do_v not_o draw_v near_o to_o he_o as_o they_o shall_v and_o it_o appear_v plain_o it_o be_v from_o hence_o that_o their_o grace_n do_v not_o act_v so_o upon_o god_n as_o they_o ought_v she_o obey_v not_o the_o voice_n she_o receive_v not_o correction_n she_o trust_v not_o in_o the_o

now_o when_o be_v there_o a_o time_n for_o the_o act_n of_o our_o grace_n upon_o god_n so_o as_o when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n and_o therefore_o in_o isa_n 64.7_o the_o lord_n complain_v

such_o a_o one_o do_v limit_v himself_o he_o do_v great_a thing_n but_o he_o do_v it_o so_o as_o he_o limit_n himself_o that_o be_v so_o much_o as_o may_v serve_v for_o such_o and_o such_o end_n of_o

to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n to_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n that_o which_o be_v some_o way_n suitable_a to_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o infinite_a god_n 2_o you_o know_v there_o be_v a_o second_o thing_n

the_o soul_n of_o a_o creature_n to_o follow_v the_o infinite_a creator_n and_o to_o work_v after_o the_o infinite_a creator_n so_o david_n in_o psal_n 63.5_o my_o soul_n follow_v hard_a after_o

to_o this_o indeed_o it_o may_v be_v a_o encouragement_n to_o you_o as_o david_n say_v psal_n 52_o 9_o this_o be_v good_a before_o thy_o saint_n david_n do_v encourage_v himself_o to_o praise_n god_n

why_o have_v we_o fast_v and_o thou_o see_v it_o not_o this_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o thou_o be_v act_v by_o self_n rather_o than_o by_o god_n second_o to_o know_v whether_o we_o be_v act_v by_o

be_v act_v by_o high-end_n and_o not_o by_o self-end_n and_o that_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n that_o be_v necessary_a for_o sanctify_v of_o god_n name_n in_o holy_a duty_n thou_o must_v have_v a_o

for_o one_o i_o may_v give_v you_o divers_a scripture_n for_o it_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v call_v the_o fear_n of_o isaac_n jacob_n do_v swear_v by_o the_o fear_n

to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o this_o attribute_n for_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v solicitous_a with_o itself_o what_o be_v that_o that_o will_v hinder_v i_o from_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o let_v i_o avoid_v it_o it_o be_v otherwise_o a_o take_n of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a for_o i_o to_o come_v to_o profess_v what_o need_n i_o have_v of_o god_n mercy_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o never_o regard_v to_o avoid_v those_o thing_n that_o may_v hinder_v the_o work_n of_o his_o grace_n upon_o i_o 11_o consider_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n that_o be_v another_o

to_o do_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n for_o certain_o thou_o be_v to_o sanctify_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n now_o you_o will_v say_v how_o shall_v a_o believer_n sanctify_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n thus_o first_o he_o shall_v be_v apprehensive_a and_o sensible_a how_o by_o sin_n he_o have_v put_v himself_o under_o justice_n and_o deserve_v the_o stroke_n of_o justice_n to_o be_v upon_o he_o to_o eternity_n he_o shall_v consider_v what_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o it_o be_v true_a that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v come_v between_o a_o believe_a soul_n and_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o father_n and_o have_v take_v the_o stroke_n of_o justice_n upon_o himself_o yea_o but_o though_o he_o have_v do_v it_o it_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o thou_o shall_v be_v apprehensive_a of_o what_o thou_o have_v deserve_v thyself_o second_o here_o be_v a_o special_a thing_n in_o the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n when_o we_o come_v before_o he_o we_o shall_v consider_v that_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o infinite_a just_a god_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o dare_v to_o come_v but_o through_o a_o mediator_n here_o you_o have_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o must_v tender_v up_o all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n because_o when_o we_o be_v to_o come_v before_o god_n we_o be_v to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o his_o justice_n for_o thou_o to_o think_v thus_o i_o have_v sin_v and_o god_n be_v merciful_a and_o i_o will_v go_v and_o pray_v to_o he_o that_o he_o may_v be_v merciful_a and_o there_o be_v a_o end_n be_v this_o all_o oh_o no_o god_n require_v the_o sanctify_a of_o his_o justice_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o do_v sanctify_v his_o justice_n so_o much_o as_o this_o that_o when_o a_o poor_a creature_n see_v the_o infinite_a distance_n that_o sin_n have_v make_v between_o that_o infinite_a god_n and_o it_o it_o see_v that_o through_o sin_n it_o have_v make_v its_o self_n liable_a to_o justice_n and_o when_o it_o see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n that_o infinite_a justice_n must_v have_v satisfaction_n and_o think_v the_o sinner_n if_o it_o come_v to_o i_o that_o i_o must_v satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n i_o be_o never_o able_a to_o do_v it_o but_o there_o be_v a_o mediator_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v fly_v to_o he_o and_o by_o faith_n tender_v up_o to_o the_o father_n all_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o son_n as_o a_o full_a satisfaction_n to_o his_o infinite_a justice_n when_o thou_o come_v thus_o before_o the_o lord_n thou_o sanctife_v his_o name_n indeed_o many_o think_v that_o when_o they_o come_v to_o pray_v they_o shall_v look_v upon_o god_n grace_n and_o mercy_n and_o not_o upon_o his_o justice_n but_o thou_o must_v look_v upon_o both_o another_o attribute_n it_o be_v god_n faithfulness_n consider_v thou_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o god_n of_o infinite_a truth_n and_o faithfulness_n and_o therefore_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o object_n of_o thy_o faith_n to_o rest_v

the_o covenant_n that_o thou_o do_v make_v with_o he_o and_o this_o be_v to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n now_o then_o put_v all_o these_o attribute_n of_o god_n together_o and_o there_o you_o have_v

the_o body_n of_o christ_n have_v you_o give_v up_o your_o body_n to_o christ_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n then_o that_o you_o sin_v so_o much_o with_o your_o body_n that_o you_o abuse_v your_o body_n with_o uncleanness_n and_o drunkenness_n and_o other_o wickedness_n afterward_o oh_o you_o profane_v the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o except_o thou_o give_v up_o thy_o body_n and_o soul_n to_o god_n in_o way_n of_o covenant_n nine_o in_o the_o last_o place_n for_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n there_o be_v require_v a_o renew_n of_o

in_o thy_o brethren_n here_o i_o have_v the_o seal_n of_o god_n willingness_n to_o pass_v by_o all_o my_o sin_n and_o therefore_o i_o must_v be_v willing_a to_o pass_v by_o all_o infirmity_n in_o my_o

to_o you_o and_o that_o be_v the_o several_a meditation_n that_o we_o shall_v meditate_v on_o in_o receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o most_o concern_v meditation_n be_v suggest_v in_o the_o holy_a communion_n that_o be_v in_o any_o thing_n whatsoever_o more_o concern_v more_o efficacious_a more_o various_a meditation_n we_o have_v suggest_v here_o than_o in_o any_o thing_n and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sign_n that_o man_n and_o woman_n do_v not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n if_o so_o be_v their_o meditation_n be_v barren_a at_o that_o time_n i_o will_v therefore_o suggest_v some_o nine_o or_o ten_o meditation_n that_o that_o ordinance_n of_o god_n may_v hold_v out_o very_o plain_o and_o familiar_o to_o every_o communicant_a for_o the_o busy_a of_o their_o thought_n all_o the_o time_n that_o action_n be_v a_o do_v meditation_n 1._o as_o first_o that_o the_o way_n of_o man_n salvation_n it_o be_v by_o a_o mediator_n it_o be_v not_o only_o by_o god_n mercy_n god_n say_v that_o he_o be_v offend_v by_o sin_n but_o he_o will_v be_v content_a to_o pass_v it_o by_o no_o but_o it_o be_v through_o a_o mediator_n now_o this_o meditation_n be_v suggest_v thus_o when_o i_o see_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n if_o i_o discern_v what_o that_o signify_v it_o will_v hold_v forth_o this_o to_o i_o that_o the_o way_n of_o man_n salvation_n it_o be_v not_o mere_o from_o hence_o that_o god_n say_v well_o i_o will_v pardon_v they_o and_o no_o more_o but_o there_o be_v require_v a_o great_a work_n of_o god_n to_o make_v a_o atonement_n between_o sinner_n and_o himself_o this_o sacrrment_n do_v hold_v forth_o thus_o much_o unto_o we_o wherefore_o else_o have_v we_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o to_o signify_v that_o the_o way_n of_o our_o reconciliation_n it_o must_v be_v through_o a_o mediator_n med._n 2._o the_o second_o meditation_n be_v this_o that_o this_o mediator_n that_o stand_v between_o god_n and_o we_o be_v very_o and_o true_o man_n he_o have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o the_o bread_n that_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o wine_n of_o his_o blood_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o meditate_v of_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o be_v a_o meditation_n that_o have_v abundance_n that_o may_v spring_v out_o of_o it_o what_o have_v the_o son_n of_o god_n take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o have_v he_o body_n and_o blood_n and_o humane_a nature_n upon_o he_o oh_o how_o have_v god_n honour_v humane_a nature_n then_o let_v i_o not_o abuse_v my_o body_n to_o lust_n to_o wickedness_n see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v take_v the_o body_n of_o man_n upon_o he_o humane_a nature_n upon_o he_o let_v i_o honour_v humane_a nature_n that_o be_v so_o near_o unite_v to_o the_o divine_a nature_n that_o be_v the_o second_o meditation_n meditation_n 3._o here_o be_v present_v unto_o we_o what_o this_o mediator_n have_v do_v for_o the_o reconcile_n of_o we_o unto_o god_n that_o his_o body_n be_v break_v he_o have_v subject_v himself_o to_o the_o break_n of_o his_o body_n and_o to_o the_o pour_v forth_o of_o his_o blood_n for_o the_o reconcile_n of_o we_o it_o be_v not_o mere_o as_o before_o that_o god_n say_v i_o will_v pardon_v they_o but_o christ_n undertake_v to_o make_v peace_n between_o his_o father_n and_o we_o it_o cost_v he_o the_o break_n of_o his_o body_n and_o the_o pour_v forth_o of_o his_o blood_n this_o be_v a_o useful_a meditation_n oh_o what_o shall_v we_o be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v for_o jesus_n christ_n in_o our_o body_n even_o to_o resist_v unto_o blood_n see_v christ_n have_v be_v content_a to_o have_v his_o precious_a body_n break_v and_o his_o blood_n shed_v for_o we_o meditation_n 4._o again_o a_o four_o meditation_n be_v this_o that_o here_o we_o come_v to_o see_v we_o have_v occasion_n of_o meditate_v of_o that_o scripture_n say_v that_o we_o be_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o god_n save_v it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o god_n they_o crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n that_o be_v the_o scripture_n phrase_n we_o shall_v consider_v when_o we_o see_v the_o wine_n pour_v out_o and_o so_o put_v in_o mind_n of_o blood_n who_o blood_n and_o who_o body_n be_v this_o it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o he_o that_o be_v true_o god_n the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n this_o be_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o be_v very_o needful_a for_o we_o to_o be_v think_v of_o when_o we_o see_v the_o body_n break_v and_o the_o blood_n pour_v out_o what_o will_v the_o break_n of_o the_o body_n and_o shed_v of_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o mere_a creature_n be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v peace_n between_o god_n and_o man_n sure_o noâ—_n therefore_o you_o must_v meditate_v who_o body_n this_o be_v and_o who_o blood_n this_o be_v it_o be_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o he_o that_o be_v god_n it_o be_v true_a god_n
kingdom_n come_v they_o do_v as_o much_o as_o say_v o_o lord_n do_v thou_o set_v thyself_o against_o all_o the_o enemy_n of_o thy_o kingdom_n if_o they_o belong_v to_o thy_o election_n lord_n convert_v they_o but_o otherwise_o lord_n confound_v they_o now_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o be_v to_o sanctife_n the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o prayer_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o prayer_n but_o now_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o prayer_n the_o most_o thing_n i_o confess_v be_v there_o first_o when_o we_o come_v to_o prayer_n we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o pray_v with_o understanding_n 1_o cor._n 14.15_o what_o be_v it_o then_o i_o will_v pray_v with_o the_o â—â—irâ—â—_n and_o will_v pray_v with_o understand_v also_o god_n do_v not_o love_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o fool_n we_o must_v not_o come_v babble_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n to_o speak_v we_o know_v not_o what_o and_o to_o multiply_v word_n we_o know_v not_o wherefore_o but_o god_n do_v require_v that_o those_o that_o come_v to_o prayer_n come_v with_o understanding_n that_o they_o offer_v to_o god_n a_o rational_a a_o reasonable_a a_o understand_a sacrifice_n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n now_o as_o it_o belong_v to_o all_o other_o duty_n of_o worship_n so_o especial_o in_o prayer_n to_o know_v what_o we_o do_v when_o we_o pray_v not_o to_o think_v to_o put_v off_o god_n with_o a_o mere_a empty_a sound_n that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n the_o second_o thing_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o prayer_n it_o be_v the_o give_v up_o all_o the_o faculty_n of_o our_o soul_n in_o it_o i_o speak_v to_o that_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o general_a we_o shall_v apply_v it_o now_o particular_o to_o prayer_n the_o give_v up_o not_o only_o our_o understanding_n but_o will_n thought_n affection_n strength_n in_o prayer_n in_o 2_o chron._n 20.3_o it_o be_v say_v of_o jehoshaphat_n that_o he_o set_v himself_o to_o seek_v the_o lord_n he_o do_v give_v his_o whole_a self_n to_o seek_v the_o lord_n we_o be_v to_o give_v our_o whole_a self_n and_o not_o to_o divide_v in_o prayer_n now_o there_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o indeed_o may_v well_o take_v up_o a_o whole_a sermon_n in_o show_v the_o evil_a of_o the_o wander_a of_o our_o spirit_n in_o prayer_n we_o shall_v take_v heed_n of_o the_o wander_a of_o our_o spirit_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o so_o in_o prayer_n the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v much_o trouble_v with_o the_o wander_a of_o their_o thought_n both_o in_o word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o it_o be_v their_o great_a burden_n and_o shall_v be_v so_o but_o i_o never_o hear_v any_o more_o complain_n of_o the_o wander_a of_o their_o spirit_n than_o in_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v much_o pester_v in_o their_o spirit_n with_o this_o evil_a it_o be_v very_o grievous_a unto_o they_o and_o many_o of_o they_o go_v under_o it_o as_o a_o grievous_a burden_n all_o their_o day_n the_o chief_a burden_n that_o be_v upon_o their_o spirit_n be_v their_o wander_a in_o prayer_n so_o that_o if_o god_n shall_v speak_v to_o they_o as_o he_o speak_v unto_o solomon_n and_o bid_v he_o ask_v what_o he_o shall_v give_v he_o i_o very_o believe_v there_o be_v many_o in_o this_o congregation_n that_o have_v already_o good_a assurance_n of_o god_n love_n in_o christ_n if_o they_o have_v not_o that_o that_o will_v be_v the_o main_a thing_n that_o they_o will_v ask_v but_o have_v attain_v that_o if_o god_n will_v speak_v from_o heaven_n and_o say_v what_o shall_v i_o give_v you_o for_o yourselves_o if_o he_o shall_v ask_v you_o in_o the_o general_n it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v ask_v something_o for_o the_o church_n but_o if_o it_o

than_o if_o god_n shall_v give_v they_o to_o be_v king_n or_o queen_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n if_o god_n shall_v put_v these_o two_o into_o the_o balance_n either_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o

but_o those_o that_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n they_o find_v it_o to_o be_v very_o grievous_a to_o they_o but_o be_v the_o time_n be_v past_a i_o shall_v reserve_v that_o to_o speak_v yet_o a_o

that_o be_v wicked_a and_o vile_a that_o not_o only_o have_v vain_a wander_a thought_n in_o prayer_n but_o even_o in_o the_o very_a duty_n of_o prayer_n many_o time_n have_v wicked_a and_o ungodly_a thought_n how_o horrible_a be_v they_o unclean_a thought_n murderous_a thought_n it_o may_v be_v and_o most_o abominable_a i_o confess_v even_o those_o that_o be_v godly_a may_v sometime_o have_v some_o blasphemous_a thought_n cast_v into_o they_o for_o the_o devil_n be_v never_o more_o busy_a than_o at_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n but_o they_o rather_o come_v from_o the_o devil_n than_o from_o the_o stream_n and_o corruption_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n which_o may_v be_v we_o may_v make_v out_o more_o clear_o afterward_o but_o now_o i_o speak_v to_o such_o as_o have_v most_o

that_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o thought_n and_o will_n and_o affection_n our_o whole_a soul_n act_v upon_o he_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o prayer_n or_o else_o we_o
do_v not_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o unto_o a_o god_n vain_a thought_n in_o prayer_n do_v pick_v up_o the_o sacrifice_n like_o the_o bird_n that_o abraham_n drive_v away_o from_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o

the_o best_a of_o all_o will_v have_v vain_a thought_n sometime_o but_o yet_o as_o one_o compare_v the_o vain_a thought_n of_o man_n in_o prayer_n like_v unto_o a_o spaniel_n that_o go_v out_o with_o

will_v discover_v much_o evil_n in_o thy_o heart_n that_o thou_o do_v not_o think_v be_v there_o before_o when_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n lie_v still_o they_o think_v there_o be_v

to_o any_o gross_a act_n of_o sin_n when_o conscience_n have_v life_n and_o power_n in_o it_o he_o shall_v never_o prevail_v that_o way_n but_o now_o he_o think_v he_o may_v prevail_v to_o disturb_v

they_o do_v not_o find_v present_a comfort_n by_o it_o their_o spirit_n be_v in_o a_o distemper_n and_o frowardness_n and_o cast_v it_o off_o and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n there_o be_v never_o such_o comfortable_a thing_n speak_v in_o the_o word_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o anger_n in_o their_o spirit_n because_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o apply_v the_o word_n to_o themselves_o and_o they_o think_v this_o do_v not_o concern_v i_o now_o there_o shall_v be_v meekness_n of_o spirit_n in_o those_o that_o be_v in_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n above_o all_o they_o shall_v quiet_o attend_v upon_o the_o word_n and_o wait_v for_o the_o time_n that_o god_n will_v speak_v peace_n to_o their_o conscience_n and_o if_o i_o can_v find_v the_o word_n suitable_a to_o i_o at_o this_o time_n yet_o i_o may_v at_o another_o time_n let_v i_o attend_v with_o meekness_n let_v i_o receive_v every_o thing_n with_o meekness_n the_o word_n be_v above_o i_o and_o if_o ever_o i_o have_v good_a it_o must_v be_v by_o the_o word_n at_o last_o it_o do_v much_o concern_v those_o that_o be_v in_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n to_o have_v meek_a spirit_n 2_o there_o be_v another_o distemper_n in_o other_o and_o that_o be_v worse_a that_o be_v such_o as_o when_o they_o find_v the_o word_n come_v near_o unto_o they_o relate_v those_o sin_n that_o their_o conscience_n tell_v they_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o their_o heart_n rise_v against_o god_n and_o his_o word_n and_o minister_n too_o because_o it_o will_v pluck_v away_o some_o belove_a corruption_n because_o it_o rebuke_n they_o for_o some_o haunt_n of_o evil_a some_o distemper_n of_o heart_n that_o they_o have_v be_v or_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o put_v a_o shame_n upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o their_o heart_n do_v rise_v against_o it_o it_o be_v a_o dreadful_a thing_n to_o have_v the_o heart_n rise_v against_o the_o word_n as_o we_o read_v of_o that_o froward_a prince_n jehoiakim_n in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o jeremiah_n that_o when_o the_o roll_n be_v read_v in_o his_o hear_n sit_v in_o the_o winter_n time_n by_o a_o great_a fire_n he_o take_v a_o penknife_n and_o cut_v it_o in_o piece_n and_o throw_v it_o into_o the_o fire_n in_o anger_n and_o i_o have_v read_v that_o the_o jew_n keep_v a_o fast_a every_o year_n to_o mourn_v for_o that_o great_a sin_n &_o yet_o this_o jehoiakim_n be_v the_o son_n of_o josiah_n who_o heart_n do_v melt_v at_o the_o hearinng_a of_o the_o word_n he_o have_v a_o humble_a and_o a_o meek_a heart_n when_o the_o law_n be_v read_v and_o yet_o see_v what_o a_o different_a spirit_n jehoiakim_n have_v either_o from_o his_o father_n or_o grandfather_n it_o be_v a_o great_a dishonour_n to_o the_o name_n of_o god_n for_o man_n to_o give_v liberty_n to_o their_o passion_n to_o rise_v against_o the_o word_n take_v hâ—ed_v of_o passion_n either_o while_o you_o be_v hear_v the_o word_n or_o after_o the_o word_n as_o many_o of_o you_o while_o you_o be_v discontent_v with_o what_o be_v say_v when_o you_o come_v in_o company_n what_o a_o fury_n be_v many_o man_n in_o upon_o the_o hear_n of_o some_o thing_n in_o the_o word_n that_o come_v close_o to_o their_o heart_n remember_v when_o you_o be_v a_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n that_o it_o be_v that_o which_o be_v above_o you_o and_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o one_o that_o be_v a_o inferior_a to_o show_v himself_o passionate_a in_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o superior_a it_o be_v true_a the_o minister_n they_o may_v be_v in_o as_o low_a a_o condition_n as_o you_o and_o in_o a_o low_a but_o the_o word_n they_o speak_v it_o be_v above_o all_o the_o prince_n and_o monarch_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o it_o be_v fit_a therefore_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v behave_v ourselves_o in_o a_o meek_a disposition_n 6_o the_o next_o thing_n for_o the_o sanctify_a god_n name_v in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n be_v this_o we_o must_v hear_v it_o with_o a_o tremble_a heart_n with_o fear_n as_o well_o as_o meekness_n and_o for_o that_o you_o have_v that_o famous_a scripture_n in_o isa_n 66._o beginning_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n the_o heaven_n be_v my_o throne_n and_o the_o earth_n
