and_o to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n where_o we_o learn_v first_o what_o excellent_a servant_n of_o god_n the_o holy_a angel_n be_v which_o so_o ready_o willing_o and_o speedy_o execute_v the_o will_n of_o their_o lord_n this_o must_v teach_v all_o god_n servant_n to_o do_v the_o like_a and_o to_o imitate_v they_o in_o this_o excellent_a obedience_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o we_o pray_v daily_o to_o god_n petition_n thy_o will_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n in_o earth_n of_o we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n of_o the_o holy_a angel_n but_o they_o do_v it_o most_o cheerful_o and_o without_o all_o linger_a therefore_o so_o ought_v we_o magistrate_n in_o their_o place_n and_o minister_n in_o they_o and_o every_o man_n be_v his_o function_n be_v to_o apply_v this_o to_o himself_o and_o to_o be_v stir_v up_o thereby_o to_o a_o cheerfulness_n and_o quickness_n in_o their_o duty_n for_o therein_o they_o resemble_v the_o bless_a angel_n &_o then_o their_o deed_n accord_v with_o their_o prayer_n but_o contrariwise_o he_o that_o do_v his_o duty_n unwilling_o and_o unready_o be_v like_o the_o devil_n which_o indeed_o do_v god_n will_n and_o yet_o against_o his_o will_n and_o sure_o unto_o such_o obedience_n there_o belong_v no_o reward_n but_o as_o god_n love_v a_o cheerful_a giver_n so_o doubtless_o love_v he_o a_o cheerful_a worker_n 9.7_o second_o we_o see_v here_o how_o great_a love_n angel_n bear_v unto_o god_n child_n especial_o unto_o godly_a minister_n how_o willing_o they_o be_v employ_v to_o do_v they_o good_a willingness_n and_o readiness_n to_o do_v good_a to_o any_o man_n must_v needs_o come_v from_o love_n and_o yet_o alas_o all_o man_n even_o the_o best_a and_o all_o minister_n even_o the_o best_a be_v creature_n far_o inferior_a to_o the_o angel_n here_o magistrate_n and_o minister_n must_v learn_v to_o be_v far_o from_o contempt_n of_o their_o inferior_n and_o to_o do_v their_o duty_n of_o rule_v and_o teach_v careful_o though_o the_o people_n be_v far_o their_o inferiors_n it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o love_n to_o make_v any_o man_n do_v service_n most_o willing_o to_o he_o that_o he_o love_v though_o he_o be_v far_o mean_a than_o himself_o if_o therefore_o prince_n love_v their_o subject_n they_o will_v not_o spare_v any_o care_n cost_n nor_o pain_n nay_o they_o will_v rejoice_v to_o do_v they_o good_a and_o they_o will_v labour_v to_o be_v like_o the_o angel_n who_o be_v as_o far_o great_a than_o man_n as_o they_o be_v then_o their_o subject_n and_o if_o minister_n love_v their_o people_n they_o will_v forget_v their_o own_o dignity_n which_o oft_o time_n they_o may_v stand_v upon_o and_o will_v make_v themselves_o even_o servant_n to_o all_o that_o they_o may_v win_v some_o and_o see_v angle_n do_v fly_v so_o fast_o to_o give_v help_n and_o comfort_n to_o good_a minister_n 9.19_o this_o must_v teach_v they_o further_o first_o every_o one_o to_o labour_v to_o be_v a_o good_a minister_n for_o then_o be_v they_o sure_a of_o the_o love_n of_o angel_n and_o then_o most_o willing_o do_v the_o angel_n any_o service_n to_o they_o again_o let_v it_o teach_v they_o to_o fly_v as_o fast_o to_o the_o discharge_n of_o their_o duty_n to_o god_n church_n as_o the_o angel●_n fly_v to_o do_v they_o service_n so_o shall_v god_n angel_n think_v their_o diligence_n and_o careful_a service_n well_o bestow_v upon_o they_o last_o this_o diligence_n of_o the_o angel_n and_o their_o willingness_n proceed_v from_o love_n must_v stir_v up_o all_o christian_n to_o perform_v all_o duty_n of_o godliness_n to_o god_n and_o of_o love_n unto_o his_o church_n with_o alacrity_n and_o cheerfulness_n so_o do_v god_n angel_n we_o look_v to_o be_v like_o the_o angel_n in_o glory_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v then_o be_v like_o the_o angel_n in_o diligence_n love_n &_o faithfulness_n in_o this_o world_n the_o wiseman_n say_v he_o that_o be_v slothful_a in_o his_o business_n

shall_v stand_v before_o the_o king_n of_o king_n in_o heaven_n and_o let_v this_o suffice_v for_o the_o angel_n service_n and_o his_o diligence_n in_o his_o service_n now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o

shall_v use_v to_o minister_v comfort_n to_o the_o prophet_n a_o strange_a instrument_n for_o so_o great_a a_o work_n a_o coal_n of_o fire_n here_o let_v humane_a reason_n hide_v itself_o and_o

that_o which_o in_o all_o reason_n will_v have_v make_v he_o speak_v worse_o by_o god_n appointment_n and_o the_o power_n of_o his_o word_n shall_v make_v he_o speak_v better_o out_o of_o which_o practice_n of_o god_n we_o learn_v many_o point_n first_o see_v how_o god_n magnify_v mean_n he_o can_v work_v without_o they_o and_o so_o he_o do_v in_o the_o creation_n give_v light_n to_o the_o world_n 17._o diverse_a day_n before_o there_o be_v sun_n but_o since_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n be_v establish_v he_o general_o use_v mean_n not_o only_o in_o his_o ordinary_n but_o even_o in_o his_o miraculous_a action_n and_o though_o he_o use_v not_o always_o the_o ordinary_a and_o direct_a mean_n yet_o mean_v he_o general_o use_v though_o they_o seem_v contrary_a as_o here_o in_o this_o place_n and_o the_o same_o will_v be_v find_v true_a in_o almost_o all_o the_o miracle_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n this_o therefore_o commend_v unto_o all_o man_n the_o use_n of_o such_o good_a mean_n as_o god_n providence_n have_v ordain_v of_o any_o duty_n or_o effect_v of_o any_o thing_n that_o do_v belong_v unto_o we_o to_o do_v and_o not_o to_o depend_v upon_o

so_o expose_v to_o shame_n and_o reproach_n second_o see_v here_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n ordinance_n how_o it_o appear_v in_o weakness_n such_o be_v all_o his_o great_a work_n in_o the_o creation_n he_o bring_v light_a out_o of_o darkness_n in_o our_o redemption_n he_o bring_v we_o life_n out_o of_o death_n in_o our_o conversion_n he_o work_v upon_o we_o by_o his_o worde_n and_o by_o

themselves_o or_o in_o their_o mean_n let_v this_o teach_v all_o man_n not_o to_o contemn_v the_o sacrament_n though_o the_o outward_a element_n bread_n wine_n and_o water_n be_v weak_a and_o common_a

either_o of_o the_o minister_n or_o the_o element_n but_o to_o the_o supreme_a power_n of_o the_o mighty_a god_n who_o can_v purge_v the_o prophet_n by_o a_o coal_n from_o the_o altar_n neither_o be_v

that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v call_v thereunto_o it_o be_v a_o work_n little_o less_o than_o that_o whereby_o god_n call_v a_o sinner_n from_o his_o sin_n to_o the_o state_n of_o repentance_n for_o as_o god_n first_o cast_v down_o the_o sinner_n before_o he_o give_v he_o grace_n or_o any_o feel_n of_o his_o love_n in_o christ_n so_o here_o he_o first_o abase_v and_o cast_v down_o the_o prophet_n
