presence_n be_v with_o they_o the_o token_n of_o god_n presence_n be_v with_o they_o but_o when_o the_o ark_n be_v take_v away_o that_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o god_n be_v go_v his_o protect_a preserve_a comfort_a presence_n be_v go_v and_o therefore_o no_o wonder_n this_o good_a old_a man_n be_v so_o trouble_v for_o fear_n leave_v the_o ark_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v take_v prisoner_n i_o call_v he_o a_o good_a old_a man_n but_o many_o learned_a man_n think_v old_a eli_n be_v not_o a_o good_a man_n indeed_o his_o fault_n be_v great_a in_o not_o punish_v his_o two_o son_n but_o sure_o sure_o he_o be_v a_o good_a man_n and_o there_o be_v these_o two_o reason_n to_o make_v it_o out_o that_o old_a eli_n be_v a_o godly_a man_n the_o one_o be_v this_o that_o he_o take_v the_o punishment_n of_o his_o iniquity_n so_o patient_o when_o young_a samuel_n have_v tell_v he_o what_o the_o lord_n have_v intend_v against_o he_o it_o be_v of_o the_o lord_n say_v he_o let_v he_o do_v what_o seem_v he_o good_a second_o he_o be_v a_o good_a man_n as_o appear_z in_o the_o text_n his_o solicitousness_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o the_o ark_n and_o the_o tremble_a of_o his_o soul_n leave_v the_o ark_n of_o god_n shall_v miscarry_v now_o before_o i_o speak_v to_o the_o point_n of_o doctrine_n i_o must_v further_o tell_v you_o that_o this_o ark_n be_v a_o type_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_n as_o god_n speak_v by_o the_o ark_n and_o from_o the_o ark_n so_o god_n speak_v to_o we_o by_o christ._n and_o then_o second_o the_o ark_n be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n for_o as_o the_o ark_n be_v a_o preserver_n of_o the_o too_o table_n of_o the_o law_n so_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o preserver_n of_o the_o scripture_n three_o t●e_v ark_n be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n for_o as_o god_n do_v communicate_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n by_o the_o ark_n so_o god_n by_o his_o ordinance_n do_v communicate_v his_o counsel_n his_o comfort_n and_o his_o grace_n unto_o his_o people_n the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v oraculum_fw-la the_o speaking-place_n of_o god_n by_o which_o he_o convey_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n the_o text_n now_o be_v thus_o expound_v there_o be_v these_o two_o excellent_a conclusion_n to_o be_v learn_v from_o it_o first_o when_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v lose_v the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v thoughtful_a head_n and_o tremble_a heart_n second_o that_o a_o child_n of_o god_n be_v more_o trouble_v and_o more_o solicitous_a what_o shall_v become_v of_o the_o ark_n than_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o his_o wife_n and_o child_n or_o his_o estate_n he_o lay_v more_o to_o heart_n the_o danger_n the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v in_o than_o the_o danger_n his_o wife_n child_n and_o estate_n be_v in_o first_o when_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v lose_v the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v thoughtful_a head_n and_o tremble_a heart_n but_o if_o i_o may_v put_v this_o doctrine_n into_o a_o gospel_n dress_v take_v the_o doctrine_n thus_o that_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o lose_v when_o the_o ministry_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o lose_v when_o gospel_n ordinance_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o be_v lose_v than_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v tremble_a heart_n and_o careful_a and_o solicitous_a head_n i_o do_v not_o say_v when_o the_o ark_n be_v lose_v for_o that_o be_v death_n to_o old_a eli_n he_o break_v his_o neck_n he_o be_v so_o trouble_v when_o the_o ark_n be_v lose_v it_o cost_v the_o life_n of_o old_a eli_n daughter_n phineas_n wife_n when_o the_o ark_n be_v take_v prisoner_n she_o take_v no_o comfort_n in_o her_o child_n that_o be_v new_o bear_v she_o regard_v it_o not_o they_o tell_v she_o a_o manchild_n be_v bear_v that_o she_o have_v a_o son_n but_o she_o regard_v it_o not_o for_o say_v she_o the_o glory_n be_v go_v the_o glory_n be_v depart_v from_o israel_n therefore_o i_o do_v not_o say_v when_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v lose_v but_o when_o it_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o lose_v when_o the_o gospel_n be_v in_o danger_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o danger_n of_o be_v lose_v than_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v tremble_a heart_n and_o careful_a head_n thus_o we_o read_v exod._n 33.3_o god_n threaten_v he_o will_v no●_n go_v with_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n i_o wi●●_n n●●_n go_v with_o you_o for_o you_o a●e_v a_o stiffnecked_a people_n and_o they_o be_v ●o_o trouble_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o god_n presence_n that_o they_o put_v off_o their_o ornament_n when_o the_o people_n ●eard_v this_o evil_a tiding_n that_o they_o shall_v lose_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n they_o mourn_v and_o no_o m●●_n pu●_n on_o his_o ornament_n you_o shall_v read_v that_o they_o be_v without_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n twenty_o year_n 1_o sam._n 7.2_o and_o i●_n come_v to_o pass_v that_o while_o the_o ark_n abode_n in_o ki●ah_n jearim_n that_o it_o be_v long_o for_o

so_o you_o shall_v read_v of_o uriah_n da●id_n will_v fain_o have_v have_v he_o go_v down_o to_o his_o wife_n and_o make_v merry_a but_o mark_v what_o uriah_n answer_v 2_o sam._n 11_o 1●_n the_o ark_n

he_o be_v very_o zealous_a for_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n 1_o king_n 19_o 10._o the_o child_n of_o israel_n have_v forsake_v their_o covenant_n they_o have_v throw_v down_o thy_o altar_n and_o slay_v thy_o prophet_n and_o i_o be_o very_o zealous_a now_o all_o this_o prove_v that_o when_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v in_o d●nger_n t●e_v people_n of_o god_n have_v very_o much_o tremble_v and_o there_o be_v these_o reason_n for_o it_o why_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v so_o much_o trouble_v when_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v in_o danger_n first_o because_o of_o the_o love_n that_o they_o beat_v to_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n as_o god_n love_v the_o gate_n of_o zion_n more_o than_o all_o the_o dwelling_n of_o jacob_n so_o the_o people_n of_o god_n they_o love_v the_o gospel_n they_o love_v the_o ordinance_n they_o love_v the_o ministry_n and_o the_o faithful_a minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n above_o all_o other_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o say_v david_n psal._n 26.8_o o_o lord_n i_o have_v love_v the_o habitation_n of_o thy_o house_n and_o the_o place_n where_o thy_o honour_n dwell_v and_o in_o psal._n 27.4_o one_o thing_n have_v i_o desire_v of_o the_o

yet_o the_o very_a love_n that_o he_o do_v bear_v to_o his_o father_n burst_v the_o string_n of_o his_o tongue_n and_o he_o cry_v out_o o_o kill_v not_o my_o father_n kill_v not_o my_o father_n such_o be_v the_o love_n that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n have_v to_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n that_o it_o must_v break_v forth_o and_o they_o can_v be_v silent_a that_o they_o can_v but_o tremble_v for_o fear_v the_o ark_n shall_v miscarry_v for_o zion_n sake_n they_o can_v hold_v their_o peace_n and_o for_o j●rusalems_n sake_n they_o can_v rest_v till_o the_o lord_n make_v the_o righteousness_n thereof_o to_o go_v forth_o as_o brightness_n and_o the_o salvation_n thereof_o as_o a_o lamp_n that_o burn_v second_o the_o people_n of_o god_n can_v but_o be_v trouble_v when_o the_o ark_n be_v danger_n because_o of_o the_o interest_n that_o they_o have_v in_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n now_o you_o know_v interest_n stir_v up_o affection_n when_o a_o man_n be_v own_o house_n be_v on_o fire_n
