that_o the_o loss_n of_o any_o one_o eminent_o faithful_a and_o zealous_a prophet_n of_o god_n shall_v affect_v the_o heart_n of_o people_n with_o exceed_a grief_n and_o lamentation_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o that_o even_o the_o most_o eminent_o proposition_n 1._o proposition_n faithful_a and_o zealous_a prophet_n of_o god_n may_v be_v and_o shall_v be_v take_v away_o from_o a_o people_n the_o prophet_n or_o minister_n of_o god_n they_o be_v of_o different_a part_n and_o gift_n and_o they_o be_v of_o different_a spirit_n and_o they_o be_v of_o different_a use_n and_o service_n put_v they_o in_o comparison_n one_o with_o another_o some_o be_v as_o star_n of_o the_o first_o magnitude_n and_o other_o of_o a_o lesser_a magnitude_n some_o be_v as_o the_o cedar_n and_o other_o be_v but_o as_o ordinary_a tree_n some_o be_v more_o rich_o and_o plentiful_o endow_v and_o furnish_v other_o be_v not_o so_o they_o be_v low_o by_o the_o luther_n as_o elijah_n paul_n

must_v all_o be_v take_v away_o here_o in_o the_o text_n elijah_n be_v take_v away_o and_o what_o be_v he_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n and_o in_o some_o sense_n more_o than_o a_o prophet_n he_o be_v a_o prophet_n of_o the_o high_a rate_n most_o eminent_a for_o faithfulness_n and_o zeal_n that_o be_v his_o excellency_n noah_n be_v eminent_a for_o uprightness_n and_o moses_n for_o meekness_n and_o

your_o soul_n and_o they_o do_v study_n and_o weep_v and_o preach_v to_o save_v your_o soul_n and_o therefore_o let_v they_o have_v love_n for_o love_n &_o care_n for_o care_n and_o respect_n for_o respect_n they_o give_v you_o bread_n do_v not_o give_v they_o stone_n they_o bring_v mercy_n to_o you_o do_v not_o you_o cast_v your_o curse_n upon_o they_o they_o attend_v to_o your_o salvation_n

not_o to_o prize_v the_o live_n to_o set_v out_o with_o a_o large_a commendation_n the_o manifold_a virtue_n and_o say_n of_o minister_n that_o be_v dead_a yet_o not_o to_o regard_v nor_o make_v use_n

before_o he_o be_v take_v away_o now_o you_o may_v hear_v your_o minister_n instruct_v and_o persuade_v you_o but_o within_o a_o short_a time_n you_o shall_v never_o see_v nor_o hear_v they_o more_o now_o you_o may_v go_v unto_o they_o and_o open_v your_o doubt_n and_o discover_v your_o soul_n want_n and_o disease_n and_o crave_v their_o counsel_n and_o take_v their_o direction_n and_o partake_v

simile_n like_o a_o garden_n in_o the_o springtime_n and_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v like_o so_o many_o bee_n fly_v every_o day_n unto_o the_o flower_n in_o that_o garden_n to_o suck_v out_o the_o

by_o you_o all_o the_o day_n of_o your_o life_n remember_v sir_n as_o it_o will_v be_v a_o heavy_a judgement_n if_o you_o make_v no_o use_n of_o your_o faithful_a minister_n so_o it_o will_v cut_v you_o to_o the_o very_a heart_n when_o your_o minister_n be_v dead_a and_o then_o can_v be_v of_o no_o more_o use_n unto_o you_o that_o you_o make_v so_o little_a use_n of_o they_o live_v that_o you_o

proposition_n which_o be_v this_o that_o the_o loss_n of_o any_o one_o eminent_o faithful_a and_o zealous_a proposition_n 2._o proposition_n prophet_n of_o god_n shall_v affect_v the_o heart_n of_o

1._o one_o be_v a_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n in_o this_o for_o though_o their_o death_n be_v a_o mercy_n unto_o they_o bless_a be_v the_o dead_a that_o dye_n in_o the_o lord_n and_o precious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o death_n of_o his_o saint_n yet_o 15._o rev._n 14_o 13._o psal_n 116._o 15._o their_o death_n may_v be_v a_o judgement_n to_o

and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o slight_o pass_v over_o their_o death_n but_o consider_v and_o lay_v such_o stroke_n of_o god_n to_o our_o heart_n the_o live_n will_v lay_v it_o to_o his_o heart_n
