A52042	Meroz curse for not helping the Lord against the mightie being the substance of a sermon, preached on a day of humiliation, at St. Sepulchers, London, Decemb. 2. 1641 / by that powerfull and Godly divine, Mr. Stephen Marshall ; published in one sheet of paper, (not by the author) but by a lover of the truth, for their good especially, that are not able to buy bigger bookes ; being a very seasonable subject, wherein all that either out of policie or sloth, rfuse to helpe the Lord, may see their danger, and they that are willing are called, and directions given to them both what manner of persons they ought to be, and what they ought to doe to help the Lord ; wherein also every true Christian may see, that though they be never so weake or poore, yet they may, and ought to helpe the Lord, and by what meanes.	Marshall, Stephen, 1594?-1655.	1641 (1641)	Wing M761A; ESTC R12794	6,603	9

negligence_n as_o you_o may_v read_v iudg._n 21._o 8._o etc._n etc._n to_o wit_n how_o they_o fall_v upon_o they_o and_o destroy_v they_o because_o they_o come_v not_o up_o to_o mizp_v to_o the_o

brethren_n as_o you_o desire_v to_o be_v free_v from_o this_o curse_n and_o to_o obtain_v a_o blessing_n at_o the_o lord_n hand_n be_v exhort_v to_o put_v forth_o your_o hand_n now_o to_o the_o help_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o pray_v you_o look_v on_o i_o as_o on_o one_o that_o come_v among_o you_o this_o day_n to_o beat_v a_o drum_n in_o your_o ear_n to_o see_v who_o will_v come_v out_o to_o follow_v the_o lamb_n now_o then_o belove_v so_o many_o of_o you_o as_o be_v willing_a come_v and_o i_o will_v give_v you_o direction_n what_o to_o do_v that_o you_o may_v all_o of_o you_o afford_v some_o help_n to_o the_o lord_n at_o this_o time_n and_o first_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o require_v your_o help_n so_o much_o for_o any_o need_n he_o have_v of_o it_o as_o for_o to_o honour_v you_o thereby_o for_o belove_a you_o be_v to_o know_v that_o it_o be_v a_o honour_n to_o help_v the_o lord_n the_o lord_n as_o i_o may_v say_v scorn_v to_o have_v help_n from_o every_o one_o no_o you_o must_v be_v fit_o qualify_v before_o you_o be_v meet_a to_o help_v the_o lord_n and_o that_o with_o these_o three_o thing_n first_o you_o must_v be_v godly_a or_o else_o you_o be_v unfit_a to_o be_v helper_n of_o the_o lord_n 1._o the_o lamb_n follower_n must_v be_v such_o as_o be_v choose_v and_o call_v and_o faithful_a they_o must_v be_v holy_a man_n and_o holy_a woman_n therefore_o you_o that_o be_v ungodly_a person_n believe_v it_o you_o be_v not_o call_v to_o this_o help_n of_o the_o lord_n second_o you_o must_v be_v self-denying_a person_n you_o must_v deny_v your_o 2._o own_o profit_n your_o own_o ease_n your_o own_o friend_n yea_o and_o all_o that_o you_o call_v your_o own_o the_o apostle_n paul_n write_v to_o the_o philippian_n say_v he_o have_v no_o

i_o say_v you_o can_v never_o be_v fit_a to_o help_v the_o lord_n until_o you_o put_v off_o all_o that_o be_v your_o own_o and_o say_v to_o christ_n as_o ruth_n say_v unto_o naomi_n whither_o thou_o

to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 13._o i_o say_v unto_o you_o the_o most_o excellent_a way_n be_v love_n it_o be_v that_o which_o constitute_v a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o meet_a follower_n of_o

be_v it_o so_o that_o they_o be_v all_o curse_a that_o help_v not_o the_o lord_n against_o the_o mighty_a then_o sure_o they_o be_v curse_v with_o a_o heavy_a curse_n that_o use_v help_v the_o
