a_o holy_a god_n i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n consider_v of_o this_o god_n stand_v upon_o nothing_o more_o than_o to_o appear_v to_o all_o the_o world_n to_o be_v a_o holy_a god_n there_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n name_n in_o a_o eminent_a way_n god_n do_v not_o so_o much_o stand_v upon_o this_o to_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o strong_a god_n to_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o powerful_a god_n to_o be_v a_o god_n of_o patience_n long_o suffer_v god_n do_v not_o so_o much_o stand_v to_o be_v a_o omniscient_a god_n though_o these_o attribute_n be_v dear_a to_o god_n but_o that_o he_o may_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o holy_a god_n that_o he_o stand_v upon_o whatever_o glory_n of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n that_o god_n shall_v be_v content_a to_o have_v eclipse_v in_o the_o world_n for_o a_o while_n yet_o he_o be_v resolve_v he_o will_v have_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o holiness_n above_o all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o the_o angel_n when_o they_o be_v celebrate_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n they_o do_v not_o say_v lord_n almighty_n almighty_a almighty_a or_o lord_n omniscient_a omniscient_a omniscient_a but_o holy_a holy_a holy_a those_o three_o together_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n therein_o appear_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n above_o all_o god_n stand_v upon_o it_o that_o he_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o holy_a god_n oh_o that_o those_o who_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n that_o they_o will_v especial_o endeavour_v to_o hold_v forth_o god_n holiness_n you_o that_o be_v near_o to_o god_n you_o that_o hope_v you_o be_v god_n child_n and_o make_v profession_n of_o his_o name_n labour_v you_o to_o hold_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o holiness_n above_o all_o thing_n in_o your_o holy_a life_n and_o conversation_n for_o god_n stand_v upon_o this_o to_o have_v his_o name_n to_o be_v sanctify_v i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v say_v god_n and_o i_o will_v be_v glorify_v so_o he_o do_v interpret_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n by_o be_v sanctify_v as_o if_o god_n shall_v say_v that_o be_v the_o glory_n that_o i_o look_v for_o that_o my_o name_n may_v be_v extol_v as_o holy_a and_o therefore_o the_o very_a first_o petition_n that_o christ_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n it_o be_v hallow_a be_v thy_o name_n which_o be_v all_o one_o with_o this_o sanctify_a be_v thy_o name_n oh_o let_v the_o name_n of_o god_n appear_v to_o be_v holy_a in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v another_o note_n that_o these_o two_o be_v join_v together_o i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o those_o that_o draw_v nigh_o i_o and_o i_o will_v be_v glorify_v before_o the_o people_n again_o observe_v that_o it_o be_v the_o part_n of_o true_a friendship_n to_o help_v friend_n in_o their_o distress_n and_o seek_v to_o comfort_v they_o from_o the_o word_n though_o we_o ourselves_o be_v in_o affliction_n yet_o we_o shall_v seek_v to_o comfort_v our_o friend_n that_o be_v in_o great_a affliction_n and_o to_o comfort_v they_o by_o the_o word_n for_o so_o do_v moses_n moses_n come_v to_o comfort_n aaron_n and_o apply_v the_o word_n this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v now_o mark_v no_o question_n moses_n be_v afflict_v upon_o this_o heavy_a hand_n of_o god_n for_o he_o be_v their_o uncle_n but_o though_o it_o be_v heavy_a upon_o the_o uncle_n yet_o it_o be_v heavy_a upon_o the_o father_n and_o therefore_o though_o moses_n be_v trouble_v yet_o he_o know_v that_o aaron_n be_v more_o trouble_v and_o therefore_o he_o go_v to_o aaron_n and_o seek_v to_o comfort_v he_o and_o he_o make_v use_v of_o this_o word_n in_o his_o comfort_v of_o he_o learn_v this_o then_o to_o go_v and_o comfort_v your_o brethren_n for_o aaron_n be_v moses_n brother_n go_v and_o comfort_v they_o in_o their_o affliction_n and_o think_v not_o because_o that_o you_o have_v some_o affliction_n upon_o you_o that_o therefore_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o comfort_n to_o your_o brethren_n their_o affliction_n be_v great_a than_o you_o and_o when_o you_o come_v to_o comfort_v they_o come_v not_o in_o a_o mere_a carnal_a way_n and_o say_v brother_n you_o must_v be_v content_a but_o you_o must_v come_v and_o apply_v somewhat_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o comfort_v they_o and_o say_v this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v and_o to_o that_o end_n you_o shall_v labour_v to_o be_v exercise_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o so_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o go_v to_o your_o brethren_n and_o comfort_n they_o in_o any_o affliction_n for_o there_o be_v no_o particular_a affliction_n but_o there_o be_v some_o word_n of_o god_n that_o be_v suitable_a to_o that_o particular_a affliction_n and_o those_o who_o be_v well_o exercise_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o can_v apply_v some_o word_n to_o every_o affliction_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v a_o excellent_a friend_n and_o such_o a_o friend_n be_v worth_a his_o weight_n in_o gold_n that_o can_v come_v to_o another_o friend_n in_o any_o affliction_n and_o evermore_o have_v somewhat_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o apply_v to_o that_o affliction_n the_o last_o observation_n be_v this_o that_o aaron_n hold_v his_o peace_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v note_n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o way_n to_o quiet_a a_o gracious_a heart_n under_o any_o affliction_n in_o the_o world_n as_o that_o god_n will_v fetch_v out_o his_o honour_n by_o it_o it_o be_v grievous_a to_o i_o but_o god_n fetch_v out_o his_o glory_n and_o honour_n by_o it_o the_o apply_v of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o consideration_n that_o god_n have_v his_o way_n to_o fetch_v out_o his_o glory_n in_o our_o affliction_n be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o quiet_a a_o gracious_a heart_n all_o these_o point_n may_v take_v up_o a_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o time_n but_o i_o will_v let_v they_o pass_v and_o come_v to_o the_o main_a point_n of_o all_o i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o those_o that_o come_v nigh_o i_o there_o be_v these_o three_o point_n in_o these_o word_n first_o that_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n man_n and_o woman_n draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n second_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o draw_v nigh_o to_o he_o three_o that_o if_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v it_o god_n will_v sanctify_v his_o own_o name_n upon_o we_o 1._o that_o in_o worship_v of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n quest_n why_o be_v not_o god_n in_o every_o place_n answ_n yes_o certain_o we_o can_v never_o be_v in_o any_o place_n but_o we_o be_v nigh_o to_o god_n god_n stand_v by_o we_o and_o look_n upon_o we_o it_o be_v not_o only_a when_o you_o be_v worship_v of_o god_n that_o you_o be_v nigh_o he_o but_o when_o you_o sin_n against_o he_o when_o thou_o be_v swear_v profane_v his_o name_n his_o day_n god_n stand_v and_o look_v upon_o thou_o thou_o be_v nigh_o he_o and_o it_o may_v be_v say_v or_o write_v upon_o every_o place_n what_o be_v say_v of_o the_o city_n in_o the_o last_o word_n of_o the_o prophecy_n of_o ezek._n 48._o 35._o the_o name_n of_o the_o city_n be_v jehovah_n shamma_n that_o be_v the_o lord_n be_v there_o the_o lord_n jehovah_n he_o be_v there_o he_o be_v present_a in_o this_o place_n oh_o that_o you_o will_v remember_v when_o you_o be_v in_o any_o place_n that_o the_o name_n of_o that_o place_n be_v jehovah_n shamma_n the_o lord_n be_v there_o in_o he_o we_o live_v we_o move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v therefore_o we_o be_v always_o nigh_o he_o yea_o but_o though_o we_o be_v always_o nigh_o god_n in_o regard_n of_o that_o essential_a presence_n of_o he_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o more_o peculiar_a and_o special_a draw_n nigh_o to_o god_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n and_o that_o the_o scripture_n seem_v to_o hold_v forth_o unto_o you_o first_o i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o the_o scripture_n hold_v it_o forth_o and_o then_o in_o what_o respect_n the_o creature_n may_v be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n of_o worship_n for_o so_o it_o be_v here_o they_o be_v come_v to_o offer_v incense_n 1._o that_o we_o do_v draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n see_v jam._n 4._o 8._o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n so_o that_o you_o may_v be_v near_a god_n than_o you_o be_v that_o be_v by_o holy_a service_n and_o holy_a duty_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v in_o psal_n 95._o 2._o let_v we_o come_v before_o his_o

therefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o ordinary_a fire_n it_o be_v some_o celestial_a fire_n strike_v into_o they_o to_o slay_v they_o for_o so_o say_v the_o text_n in_o the_o 4._o ver_fw-la come_v near_o carry_v away_o your_o brethren_n from_o before_o the_o sanctuary_n out_o of_o the_o camp_n and_o so_o they_o go_v and_o carry_v they_o in_o their_o crat_n out_o of_o the_o camp_n so_o that_o their_o

upon_o i_o they_o have_v no_o time_n to_o promise_v amendment_n at_o all_o now_o upon_o this_o heavy_a judgement_n the_o heart_n of_o aaron_n can_v not_o possible_o but_o be_v very_o much_o trouble_v

as_o ordinary_o you_o use_v to_o visit_v your_o brethren_n oh_o you_o must_v be_v content_a with_o this_o no_o but_o he_o come_v and_o apply_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o show_v how_o god_n must_v

in_o terminis_fw-la before_o this_o time_n and_o therefore_o augustin_n think_v it_o be_v only_o the_o word_n god_n speak_v but_o not_o write_v and_o so_o they_o have_v it_o from_o hand_n to_o hand_n by_o tradition_n as_o many_o other_o thing_n as_o the_o prophecy_n of_o enoch_n that_o the_o apostle_n judas_n speak_v of_o you_o do_v not_o find_v it_o write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o it_o so_o that_o indeed_o it_o be_v from_o hand_n to_o hand_n yea_o and_o we_o find_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n when_o paul_n speak_v of_o a_o thing_n that_o christ_n shall_v say_v how_o that_o our_o lord_n say_v it_o be_v a_o more_o bless_a thing_n to_o give_v than_o to_o receive_v you_o find_v it_o not_o record_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o christ_n say_v so_o so_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o lord_n say_v though_o it_o be_v not_o write_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o genesis_n to_o this_o very_a place_n or_o otherwise_o though_o it_o be_v not_o record_v in_o express_a term_n yet_o something_o be_v record_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n and_o effect_v and_o so_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v reference_n to_o that_o scripture_n exod._n 29._o 43._o there_o we_o have_v a_o scripture_n come_v as_o near_o to_o it_o as_o any_o i_o know_v and_o there_o will_v i_o meet_v with_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o tabernacle_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v by_o my_o glory_n that_o be_v as_o much_o in_o effect_n as_o i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o those_o that_o come_v nigh_o i_o in_o those_o that_o come_v to_o worship_v i_o in_o my_o

the_o saint_n of_o god_n the_o child_n of_o israel_n the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o people_n near_o to_o god_n why_o near_o he_o because_o that_o they_o worship_n god_n they_o be_v much_o exercise_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n this_o be_v one_o respect_n though_o there_o may_v be_v divers_a other_o mention_v yet_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o come_n so_o much_o before_o god_n in_o his_o worship_n therefore_o they_o be_v near_o god_n quest_n near_o he_o why_o in_o what_o respect_n may_v a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n when_o he_o worship_n he_o answ_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v three_o respect_n in_o which_o a_o man_n when_o he_o be_v worship_v god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n first_o because_o when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n we_o come_v to_o tender_v up_o that_o homage_n and_o service_n unto_o he_o that_o be_v due_a from_o we_o as_o creature_n to_o the_o infinite_a creator_n that_o be_v the_o very_a end_n of_o worship_n if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n it_o be_v this_o you_o come_v to_o tender_v up_o that_o homage_n and_o respect_n that_o be_v due_a from_o the_o creature_n to_o the_o creator_n now_o when_o a_o subject_a come_v to_o tender_v up_o his_o homage_n to_o his_o prince_n he_o come_v towards_o he_o when_o he_o do_v it_o immediate_o so_o we_o have_v none_o to_o tender_v it_o up_o by_o but_o jesus_n christ_n and_o when_o we_o tender_v it_o up_o we_o must_v come_v ourselves_o too_o for_o christ_n do_v nor_o take_v our_o service_n and_o tender_v it_o up_o to_o god_n and_o we_o be_v absent_a but_o we_o must_v come_v with_o christ_n and_o christ_n take_v we_o by_o the_o hand_n and_o so_o tender_v it_o up_o to_o the_o father_n while_o we_o be_v in_o presence_n so_o that_o we_o be_v say_v to_o come_v nigh_o to_o god_n in_o that_o respect_n because_o of_o the_o immediate_a tender_v up_o of_o that_o worship_n of_o we_o to_o god_n i_o call_v it_o immediate_a in_o respect_n of_o any_o creature_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n indeed_o he_o be_v a_o mediator_n to_o do_v it_o but_o yet_o he_o do_v it_o in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n and_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o none_o but_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o tender_v up_o of_o our_o worship_n to_o he_o we_o may_v make_v use_n of_o a_o institution_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v but_o we_o do_v not_o tender_v up_o our_o worship_n to_o god_n through_o that_o creature_n but_o in_o the_o use_n of_o that_o creature_n we_o do_v come_v to_o god_n and_o our_o soul_n be_v to_o tender_v up_o that_o respect_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n immediate_o therefore_o in_o levit_fw-la 21._o 21._o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o priest_n in_o their_o sacrifice_n when_o they_o be_v to_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n no_o man_n that_o have_v a_o blemish_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o aaron_n the_o priest_n shall_v come_v nigh_o to_o offer_v the_o offering_n of_o the_o lord_n make_v by_o fire_n so_o that_o when_o any_o come_v to_o offer_v any_o offering_n of_o the_o lord_n make_v by_o fire_n it_o appear_v he_o come_v nigh_o to_o god_n he_o come_v to_o bring_v a_o present_a to_o god_n therefore_o he_o come_v nigh_o so_o when_o we_o come_v 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 duty_n because_o it_o do_v present_v its_o self_n before_o god_n in_o those_o way_n through_o which_o god_n do_v use_v to_o communicate_v his_o choice_n precious_a most_o excellent_a and_o glorious_a mercy_n to_o his_o people_n i_o say_v when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n we_o come_v to_o set_v ourselves_o before_o god_n in_o those_o way_n that_o god_n do_v use_v to_o communicate_v the_o choice_n most_o excellent_a and_o glorious_a rich_a mercy_n that_o he_o have_v to_o communicate_v to_o his_o creature_n when_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o creature_n as_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o our_o outward_a business_n we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n in_o they_o but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n we_o come_v to_o present_v ourselves_o before_o he_o in_o those_o thing_n that_o 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 be_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o why_o those_o that_o be_v in_o heaven_n be_v say_v to_o live_v with_o god_n there_o they_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o god_n and_o be_v before_o he_o in_o a_o special_a manner_n therefore_o when_o christ_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v he_o teach_v we_o to_o look_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o to_o say_v our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n now_o certain_o the_o essential_a presence_n of_o god_n be_v on_o earth_n as_o true_o and_o real_o as_o in_o heaven_n and_o god_n be_v not_o so_o as_o to_o have_v one_o part_n in_o one_o place_n and_o another_o in_o another_o but_o all_o god_n be_v in_o every_o place_n but_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o heaven_n it_o be_v because_o the_o lord_n make_v know_v himself_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 communication_n of_o god_n unto_o a_o creature_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n more_o special_a if_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v a_o creature_n to_o live_v with_o god_n 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 his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n to_o his_o people_n you_o may_v expect_v other_o manner_n of_o communication_n of_o god_n goodness_n through_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n than_o in_o any_o other_o way_n and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o respect_n wherein_o you_o may_v be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n three_o you_o may_v be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n because_o than_o we_o shall_v and_o if_o we_o worship_v 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._o 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

last_o that_o that_o must_v make_v all_o up_o and_o without_o which_o all_o the_o other_o be_v nothing_o it_o be_v that_o you_o must_v tender_v up_o all_o your_o worship_n in_o the_o name_n of_o
