these_o sermon_n before_o they_o go_v to_o the_o press_n i_o think_v fit_a to_o speak_v something_o of_o they_o and_o something_o of_o the_o author_n 1._o as_o to_o these_o sermon_n the_o design_n of_o they_o be_v excellent_a first_o they_o show_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o bring_v soul_n to_o christ_n do_v first_o convince_v they_o of_o sin_n so_o make_v they_o to_o feel_v their_o need_n of_o christ_n work_v in_o they_o to_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o he_o prize_v he_o above_o all_o and_o count_v all_o thing_n loss_n and_o dung_n in_o comparison_n of_o he_o second_o in_o these_o

by_o he_o three_o here_o be_v set_v forth_o how_o free_o christ_n admit_v sinner_n to_o come_v unto_o he_o that_o they_o may_v have_v life_n not_o stand_v upon_o any_o merit_n or_o worthiness_n in_o we_o but_o only_o work_v our_o heart_n to_o a_o sense_n of_o our_o own_o vileness_n and_o unworthiness_n and_o by_o a_o secret_a work_n of_o his_o spirit_n draw_v the_o humble_a and_o convince_a sinner_n to_o take_v of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n free_o possible_o some_o may_v meet_v with_o a_o few_o passage_n in_o some_o of_o these_o sermon_n that_o they_o may_v not_o clear_o understand_v let_v such_o consider_v that_o these_o note_n be_v neither_o intend_v nor_o prepare_v by_o the_o author_n for_o the_o press_n but_o take_v in_o short_a hand_n from_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o

of_o god_n plain_o and_o full_o with_o power_n and_o authority_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n 2._o as_o to_o the_o author_n of_o these_o sermon_n that_o burn_v and_o shine_a light_n mr._n thomas_n allen_n now_o with_o christ_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v something_o have_v such_o a_o opportunity_n of_o the_o exceed_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o he_o 1._o i_o will_v speak_v of_o he_o as_o a_o

not_o confound_v his_o hearer_n with_o obscure_a term_n and_o fantastical_a expression_n but_o endeavour_v to_o set_v forth_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n in_o the_o most_o plain_a and_o convince_a way_n to_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n he_o preach_v not_o himself_o but_o christ_n he_o be_v not_o desirous_a of_o vain_a glory_n in_o his_o preach_n he_o be_v not_o in_o jest_n play_v with_o his_o

in_o he_o he_o be_v eminent_a in_o self-denial_n he_o make_v not_o the_o ministry_n a_o trade_n to_o get_v money_n his_o design_n be_v not_o to_o make_v himself_o rich_a in_o the_o world_n but_o to_o make_v other_o rich_a in_o grace_n in_o those_o place_n in_o which_o he_o labour_v he_o may_v say_v with_o the_o apostle_n that_o he_o seek_v not_o they_o but_o they_o not_o their_o good_n but_o their_o good_a it_o be_v no_o dishonour_n to_o a_o minister_n of_o christ_n to_o live_v of_o a_o little_a and_o to_o leave_v but_o little_a when_o he_o die_v proud_a lordly_a self_n seek_v high_a live_a minister_n no_o way_n suit_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v first_o preach_v by_o a_o company_n of_o poor_a man_n without_o any_o worldly_a splendour_n who_o go_v through_o

they_o love_v christ_n more_o than_o their_o very_a life_n and_o yet_o now_o you_o see_v what_o christ_n say_v to_o they_o though_o his_o presence_n be_v so_o near_o and_o dear_a unto_o they_o yet_o say_v christ_n i_o tell_v you_o the_o truth_n it_o be_v expedient_a for_o you_o that_o i_o go_v away_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o you_o that_o i_o leave_v you_o though_o i_o be_v so_o near_a and_o dear_a unto_o you_o so_o that_o here_o be_v the_o point_n ground_v upon_o these_o word_n that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o certain_a truth_n that_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o the_o disciple_n and_o servant_n of_o christ_n sometime_o to_o be_v deprive_v of_o those_o comfort_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v near_o and_o dear_a to_o they_o in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v expedient_a for_o they_o the_o word_n that_o be_v here_o translate_v expedient_a it_o signify_v most_o profitable_a more_o profitable_a for_o you_o or_o better_a for_o you_o better_a for_o you_o that_o i_o go_v away_o than_o that_o i_o stay_v with_o you_o more_o profitable_a for_o you_o so_o the_o word_n be_v sometime_o translate_v and_o so_o it_o proper_o signify_v expedient_a that_o be_v profitable_a so_o say_v the_o apostle_n 1_o corinthian_n 6.12_o all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a for_o i_o but_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o expedient_a the_o word_n be_v profitable_a so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o margin_n all_o thing_n be_v not_o profitable_a so_o chap._n 10._o in_o the_o last_o verse_n say_v the_o apostle_n even_o as_o i_o please_v all_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n not_o seek_v my_o own_o profit_n but_o the_o profit_n of_o many_o that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v it_o be_v the_o same_o word_n only_o it_o be_v there_o translate_v profit_n or_o profitable_a it_o be_v expedient_a or_o profitable_a for_o you_o that_o i_o go_v away_o and_o sometime_o it_o be_v translate_v good_a or_o better_a so_o luke_n 17.2_o 3._o say_v christ_n it_o be_v better_o for_o he_o that_o a_o millstone_n be_v hang_v about_o his_o neck_n and_o he_o cast_v into_o the_o sea_n than_o that_o he_o shall_v offend_v one_o of_o these_o little_a one_o the_o word_n be_v expedient_a so_o again_o mat._n 5.29_o 30._o say_v christ_n it_o be_v better_a for_o you_o to_o go_v into_o life_n maim_v with_o one_o eye_n or_o one_o hand_n than_o have_v both_o your_o eye_n and_o hand_n to_o go_v into_o hell_n it_o be_v better_a the_o word_n be_v expedient_a so_o that_o here_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o you_o that_o i_o go_v away_o that_o be_v it_o be_v most_o profitable_a for_o you_o it_o be_v better_a for_o you_o that_o i_o go_v away_o from_o you_o than_o that_o you_o do_v enjoy_v my_o personal_a presence_n now_o for_o the_o open_n and_o handle_v of_o this_o point_n and_o truth_n i_o shall_v brief_o speak_v to_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o give_v you_o the_o demonstration_n of_o it_o by_o some_o particular_a instance_n that_o it_o be_v most_o expedient_a or_o profitable_a sometime_o for_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v deprive_v of_o their_o near_a and_o dear_a comfort_n that_o they_o do_v enjoy_v in_o which_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o some_o particular_n 2._o i_o shall_v show_v the_o ground_n why_o or_o whereupon_o it_o be_v so_o expedient_a or_o profitable_a for_o they_o to_o be_v deprive_v of_o their_o dear_a and_o near_a comfort_n they_o can_v enjoy_v in_o this_o world_n 3._o and_o then_o show_v you_o this_o that_o to_o enjoy_v the_o presence_n of_o the_o comforter_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v more_o expedient_a for_o the_o saint_n in_o this_o world_n than_o to_o enjoy_v the_o personal_a presence_n of_o christ_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o go_v through_o this_o point_n at_o this_o time_n but_o for_o the_o 1._o to_o give_v you_o some_o demonstration_n by_o some_o particular_a instance_n that_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n sometime_o to_o be_v deprive_v of_o their_o near_a and_o dear_a comfort_n that_o they_o have_v in_o this_o world_n i_o shall_v instance_n now_o in_o some_o particular_n as_o 1._o it_o may_v be_v expedient_a for_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n sometime_o to_o be_v deprive_v of_o their_o outward_a estate_n in_o the_o world_n brethren_n to_o have_v a_o competent_a measure_n of_o estate_n in_o the_o world_n be_v a_o comfortable_a thing_n those_o that_o have_v great_a estate_n do_v not_o know_v
