many_o time_n even_o the_o dear_a saint_n of_o god_n do_v meet_v with_o very_o sore_a and_o grievous_a affliction_n in_o their_o child_n that_o the_o most_o eminent_a saint_n of_o god_n be_v not_o

you_o that_o have_v child_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o murmur_v and_o complain_v of_o every_o little_a affliction_n that_o be_v upon_o you_o in_o respect_n of_o your_o child_n if_o so_o be_v that_o

there_o be_v no_o such_o cause_n of_o murmur_v here_o but_o when_o god_n take_v away_o child_n in_o their_o sin_n and_o in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o by_o fire_n from_o heaven_n thus_o god_n take_v

of_o any_o calamity_n that_o befall_v their_o child_n you_o see_v what_o a_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v against_o the_o very_a child_n of_o aaron_n a_o further_a note_n be_v this_o that_o god_n judgement_n we_o see_v sometime_o though_o the_o effect_n of_o they_o be_v visible_a yet_o they_o come_v in_o a_o invisible_a way_n for_o you_o shall_v find_v if_o you_o read_v on_o in_o this_o

in_o the_o 5._o verse_n that_o they_o be_v carry_v away_o from_o the_o sanctuary_n in_o their_o clothes_n they_o be_v not_o burn_v another_o note_n be_v this_o that_o though_o the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v dear_a and_o precious_a to_o god_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o so_o precious_a as_o his_o glory_n the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n be_v a_o thousand_o thousand_o time_n more_o dear_a unto_o god_n than_o the_o life_n of_o thousand_o thousand_o of_o people_n the_o life_n of_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n must_v go_v that_o god_n may_v be_v sanctify_v if_o it_o come_v so_o in_o the_o way_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v the_o life_n of_o man_n and_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n must_v pass_v on_o and_o must_v have_v its_o course_n let_v the_o life_n of_o man_n go_v which_o way_n they_o will_n we_o think_v much_o to_o have_v the_o life_n of_o man_n take_v away_o but_o if_o we_o know_v what_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n mean_v and_o what_o infinite_a reason_n there_o be_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v glorify_v we_o will_v not_o think_v it_o much_o that_o the_o life_n of_o never_o so_o many_o man_n shall_v go_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n it_o be_v mercy_n that_o our_o life_n have_v not_o go_v many_o time_n for_o god_n glory_n how_o often_o may_v god_n have_v glorify_v himself_o in_o take_v away_o our_o life_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o bless_v he_o that_o our_o life_n have_v be_v preserve_v so_o long_o as_o they_o have_v again_o note_v that_o the_o near_a any_o man_n be_v unto_o god_n the_o more_o they_o have_v need_n take_v heed_n that_o they_o glorify_v he_o for_o they_o must_v expect_v to_o be_v spare_v the_o less_o if_o they_o sin_n against_o he_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n the_o priest_n of_o god_n and_o they_o come_v near_o to_o god_n yet_o by_o their_o trangression_n though_o i_o tell_v you_o we_o do_v not_o find_v in_o any_o place_n of_o scripture_n direct_o in_o word_n that_o this_o fire_n be_v forbid_v but_o they_o shall_v have_v gather_v god_n mind_n by_o consequence_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n i_o only_o note_v that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o urge_v upon_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n strict_a command_n in_o very_a word_n but_o if_o it_o be_v command_v so_o as_o we_o may_v draw_v it_o by_o any_o consequence_n it_o be_v a_o command_n as_o now_o here_o for_o the_o negative_a they_o have_v not_o a_o negative_a prohibition_n in_o word_n yet_o they_o have_v it_o by_o consequence_n so_o for_o the_o affirmitive_a though_o we_o have_v not_o the_o affirmative_a in_o express_a word_n yet_o if_o we_o may_v have_v it_o by_o consequence_n it_o be_v a_o affirmative_a as_o well_o as_o the_o negative_a when_o we_o have_v it_o by_o consequence_n put_v now_o the_o noâ—e_n of_o observation_n be_v that_o the_o near_a any_o come_v to_o god_n if_o they_o sin_n against_o he_o they_o must_v not_o expect_v to_o be_v spare_v do_v not_o think_v that_o god_n will_v spare_v you_o the_o more_o because_o you_o be_v professor_n of_o religion_n or_o because_o you_o do_v often_o worship_v he_o i_o suppose_v you_o that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o scripture_n know_v that_o place_n in_o amos_n 3.2_o you_o only_o have_v i_o know_v of_o all_o the_o family_n of_o the_o earth_n therefore_o i_o will_v punish_v you_o for_o all_o your_o iniquity_n another_o note_n be_v this_o that_o when_o a_o judgement_n be_v exemplary_a than_o we_o shall_v have_v recourse_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o see_v how_o god_n do_v make_v his_o word_n good_a in_o â—hat_n judgement_n so_o moses_n do_v this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o

remember_v what_o be_v say_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n against_o such_o and_o so_o learn_v to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n we_o may_v have_v mention_v some_o particular_a threat_n of_o god_n against_o particular_a sinner_n for_o the_o help_a of_o you_o that_o when_o you_o see_v exemplary_a judgement_n to_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o we_o let_v that_o pass_v a_o further_a

to_o that_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v three_o respect_n in_o which_o a_o man_n when_o he_o be_v worship_v of_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n 1_o first_o because_o when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n we_o come_v to_o tender_v up_o that_o homage_n and_o service_n unto_o he_o that_o be_v due_a from_o we_o as_o creature_n to_o the_o infinite_a creator_n that_o be_v the_o very_a end_n of_o worship_n if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n it_o be_v this_o you_o come_v to_o tender_v up_o that_o homage_n and_o respect_n that_o be_v due_a from_o the_o creature_n to_o the_o creator_n now_o when_o a_o subject_a come_v to_o tender_v up_o his_o homage_n to_o his_o prince_n he_o come_v towards_o he_o when_o he_o do_v it_o immediate_o so_o we_o have_v none_o to_o tender_v it_o up_o by_o but_o jesus_n christ_n and_o when_o we_o tender_v it_o up_o we_o must_v come_v ourselves_o too_o for_o christ_n do_v not_o take_v our_o service_n and_o tender_v it_o up_o to_o god_n and_o we_o be_v absent_a but_o we_o must_v come_v with_o christ_n and_o christ_n take_v we_o by_o the_o hand_n and_o so_o tender_v it_o up_o to_o the_o father_n while_o we_o be_v in_o presence_n so_o that_o we_o be_v say_v to_o come_v nigh_o to_o god_n in_o that_o respect_n because_o of_o the_o immediate_a tender_v up_o of_o that_o worship_n of_o we_o to_o god_n i_o call_v it_o immediate_a in_o respect_n of_o any_o creature_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n indeed_o he_o be_v a_o mediator_n to_o do_v it_o but_o yet_o he_o do_v it_o in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n and_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o none_o but_o
thing_n that_o do_v concern_v you_o here_o in_o this_o world_n for_o they_o be_v the_o homage_n that_o you_o tender_v up_o to_o the_o high_a god_n as_o you_o hear_v and_o those_o thing_n wherein_o god_n communicate_v himself_o in_o his_o choice_a mercy_n now_o be_v such_o great_a matter_n there_o be_v cause_n that_o we_o shall_v prepare_v for_o that_o one_o thing_n of_o prayer_n say_v luther_n it_o be_v a_o great_a work_n and_o a_o difficult_a work_n and_o therefore_o there_o have_v need_n be_v preparation_n for_o it_o business_n of_o great_a consequence_n we_o make_v preparation_n for_o indeed_o if_o a_o business_n be_v a_o slight_a business_n we_o can_v fall_v upon_o it_o on_o a_o sudden_a you_o make_v not_o preparation_n to_o go_v in_o a_o poaâ—_n in_o the_o thames_n but_o to_o go_v a_o voyage_n you_o make_v great_a preparation_n now_o if_o man_n and_o woman_n will_v but_o understand_v the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n to_o be_v great_a they_o will_v see_v a_o necessity_n to_o make_v a_o preparation_n many_o man_n for_o want_n of_o preparation_n to_o duty_n they_o lose_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o time_n when_o they_o come_v to_o perform_v a_o duty_n of_o worship_n in_o prayer_n they_o spend_v half_o the_o time_n that_o be_v convenient_a to_o be_v spend_v in_o prayer_n before_o they_o begin_v to_o pray_v and_o so_o in_o hear_v the_o word_n they_o be_v a_o long_a time_n before_o they_o can_v settle_v themselves_o to_o attend_v to_o the_o word_n or_o in_o any_o other_o kind_n of_o worship_n i_o say_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o time_n in_o the_o worship_n be_v spend_v ordinary_o before_o we_o can_v get_v our_o heart_n to_o close_v with_o the_o worship_n now_o that_o be_v a_o sore_a and_o a_o great_a evil_a to_o lose_v any_o part_n of_o the_o time_n of_o worship_n christian_n i_o beseech_v you_o account_v high_o of_o the_o time_n of_o your_o worship_n you_o have_v be_v so_o long_a time_n at_o prayer_n yea_o but_o how_o much_o of_o it_o have_v be_v lose_v because_o you_o have_v not_o prepare_v before_o hand_n for_o it_o perhaps_o you_o kneel_v upon_o your_o knee_n but_o you_o be_v a_o long_a time_n before_o you_o can_v get_v your_o heartâ—_n wâ—â—m_n at_o your_o work_n â—hy_a you_o shall_v have_v be_v warm_a before_o you_o have_v come_v it_o be_v so_o oftentimes_o with_o many_o man_n when_o they_o meet_v together_o and_o there_o be_v no_o preparation_n for_o their_o business_n they_o come_v together_o and_o they_o be_v a_o long_a time_n before_o they_o can_v buckle_v to_o the_o business_n that_o they_o come_v about_o because_o there_o be_v no_o preparation_n but_o if_o there_o be_v preparation_n make_v that_o every_o man_n know_v before_o hand_n what_o his_o work_n be_v they_o can_v fall_v to_o it_o and_o they_o can_v dispatch_v as_o much_o in_o one_o hour_n as_o other_o do_v in_o two_o or_o three_o but_o of_o that_o we_o shall_v speak_v more_o afterward_o three_o there_o must_v be_v preparation_n because_o our_o heart_n be_v natural_o exceed_o unprepared_a for_o every_o good_a work_n we_o be_v all_o natural_o even_o reprobate_a to_o every_o good_a work_n the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n be_v high_a and_o spiritual_a and_o holy_a thing_n but_o by_o nature_n our_o heart_n grovel_v in_o the_o dirâ—_n and_o we_o be_v carnal_a sensual_a drossy_a dead_a slight_a sottish_a and_o vain_a altogether_o unfit_a to_o come_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n oh_o that_o we_o be_v but_o apprehensive_a and_o sensible_a of_o the_o unfitness_n of_o our_o heart_n to_o come_v into_o god_n presence_n perhaps_o because_o thou_o know_v not_o god_n thou_o can_v rush_v into_o his_o presence_n without_o any_o more_o ado_n but_o if_o thou_o know_v thyself_o and_o god_n thou_o can_v not_o but_o see_v thyself_o altogether_o unfit_a for_o his_o presence_n and_o so_o as_o to_o wonder_v that_o the_o lordshould_n not_o spurn_v thou_o out_o of_o his_o presence_n every_o time_n thou_o come_v unto_o he_o there_o have_v need_v then_o be_v preparation_n because_o we_o be_v so_o unfit_a to_o come_v into_o his_o presence_n four_o there_o have_v need_n be_v preparation_n because_o of_o the_o great_a hindrance_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n this_o business_n and_o the_o other_o business_n will_v hinder_v the_o entanglement_n they_o will_v hinder_v the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n they_o will_v hinder_v sometime_o the_o indisposition_n of_o our_o body_n do_v mighty_o hinder_v and_o the_o stir_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o our_o mind_n they_o hinder_v if_o there_o be_v any_o business_n fall_v out_o amiss_o in_o the_o family_n and_o any_o thing_n go_v but_o cross_a how_o be_v we_o put_v off_o the_o hinge_n and_o make_v unfit_a for_o holy_a duty_n there_o have_v need_n be_v preparation_n therefore_o because_o there_o be_v so_o many_o hindrance_n in_o the_o way_n many_o of_o you_o will_v complain_v that_o you_o be_v much_o hinder_v but_o do_v you_o do_v what_o you_o can_v to_o make_v preparation_n before_o hand_n do_v the_o hindrance_n that_o you_o complain_v of_o put_v you_o on_o to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o careful_a to_o make_v due_a preparation_n for_o holy_a duty_n five_o we_o find_v that_o the_o heathen_n themselves_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n when_o they_o do_v but_o worship_v their_o idol_n god_n they_o will_v make_v some_o preparation_n such_o as_o be_v suitable_a to_o those_o

much_o that_o they_o be_v convin_v in_o their_o conscience_n that_o when_o god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v people_n shall_v be_v prepare_v the_o sixth_o &_o last_o reason_n have_v a_o great_a deal_n in_o it_o which_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v of_o we_o find_v that_o the_o scripture_n do_v make_v the_o uprightnes_n of_o the_o heart_n much_o to_o consist_v in_o preparation_n for_o worship_n and_o do_v make_v the_o falseness_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o man_n do_v not_o prepare_v perhaps_o you_o have_v not_o so_o much_o think_v of_o this_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v of_o excellent_a use_n unto_o you_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o scripture_n do_v make_v the_o very_a uprightness_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o confist_n in_o the_o preparation_n for_o duty_n and_o the_o

why_o have_v we_o fast_v and_o thou_o see_v it_o not_o this_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o thou_o be_v act_v by_o self_n rather_o than_o by_o god_n second_o to_o know_v whether_o we_o be_v act_v by_o

of_o fear_n or_o in_o fickness_n or_o in_o danger_n but_o now_o one_o that_o have_v high_a end_n in_o holy_a duty_n make_v the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n to_o be_v the_o joy_n of_o his_o soul_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o prosperity_n and_o that_o be_v a_o evident_a sign_n that_o thou_o be_v not_o act_v by_o self_n end_n but_o by_o high_a end_n can_v thou_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o thy_o

for_o one_o i_o may_v give_v you_o divers_a scripture_n for_o it_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v call_v the_o fear_n of_o isaac_n jacob_n do_v swear_v by_o the_o fear_n of_o his_o father_n isaac_n because_o isaac_n be_v a_o great_a worshipper_n of_o god_n keep_v his_o constant_a time_n to_o worship_n god_n and_o worship_v he_o in_o such_o a_o constant_a way_n as_o

from_o the_o thought_n and_o apprehension_n of_o all_o excellency_n in_o ourselves_o we_o must_v not_o come_v in_o the_o pride_n of_o our_o heart_n because_o we_o have_v ability_n more_o than_o

though_o at_o the_o last_o hour_n this_o now_o be_v a_o humble_a heart_n in_o prayer_n and_o when_o we_o come_v with_o such_o a_o poverty_n of_o spirit_n as_o this_o be_v we_o may_v expect_v that_o

give_v god_n his_o own_o that_o be_v what_o come_v from_o the_o work_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n or_o else_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n i_o will_v give_v you_o one_o text_n further_o about_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o in_o exod._n 39_o if_o you_o read_v the_o chapter_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o there_o be_v ten_o time_n say_v that_o they_o do_v as_o god_n have_v command_v moses_n and_o then_o in_o the_o close_a of_o the_o chapter_n when_o they_o have_v do_v as_o god_n have_v command_v in_o his_o worship_n the_o text_n say_v moses_n bless_v they_o that_o people_n be_v a_o bless_a people_n that_o do_v observe_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o god_n have_v command_v they_o but_o the_o main_a thing_n be_v all_o that_o we_o do_v it_o must_v act_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v true_a silver_n and_o gold_n but_o it_o must_v have_v the_o right_a stamp_n or_o else_o it_o can_v go_v for_o current_a coin_n and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o offer_v to_o god_n in_o his_o worship_n be_v god_n own_o be_v what_o we_o have_v warrant_n for_o out_o of_o god_n word_n but_o it_o must_v have_v the_o stamp_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n there_o be_v two_o question_n that_o he_o will_v ask_v first_o who_o require_v this_o at_o your_o hand_n but_o then_o if_o you_o can_v answer_v thus_o thou_o o_o lord_n do_v require_v it_o it_o be_v well_o but_o then_o god_n have_v another_o question_n who_o image_n and_o superscription_n be_v this_o if_o thou_o can_v not_o give_v a_o answer_n to_o that_o it_o will_v be_v reject_v too_o thou_o must_v be_v act_v by_o divine_a principle_n in_o all_o that_o thou_o do_v there_o must_v be_v the_o stamp_n of_o the_o spirit_n upon_o that_o which_o be_v tender_v to_o god_n else_o it_o be_v nothing_o to_o open_v this_o point_n full_o will_v ask_v some_o time_n first_o therefore_o i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o we_o may_v know_v when_o our_o duty_n be_v act_v by_o our_o natural_a part_n rather_o than_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n second_o how_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o our_o duty_n be_v act_v by_o natural_a conscience_n rather_o than_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 1_o first_o if_o thou_o be_v act_v by_o natural_a part_n they_o will_v not_o change_v thy_o heart_n man_n that_o do_v perform_v duty_n by_o the_o strength_n of_o natural_a part_n they_o may_v be_v as_o large_a as_o other_o and_o speak_v to_o the_o edification_n of_o other_o but_o those_o duty_n do_v never_o change_v their_o heart_n now_o if_o thou_o be_v actd_a by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n thou_o will_v be_v change_v into_o the_o very_a image_n of_o his_o spirit_n 2_o second_o if_o man_n be_v act_v by_o natural_a part_n they_o will_v not_o carry_v they_o through_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n but_o now_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o have_v act_v by_o he_o though_o thou_o do_v meet_v with_o never_o such_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n thou_o will_v be_v carry_v through_o they_o all_o 3_o thou_o may_v know_v it_o by_o this_o wherein_o do_v thou_o account_v the_o excellency_n of_o a_o duty_n to_o consist_v either_o in_o thyself_o or_o other_o thou_o perform_v a_o duty_n now_o it_o may_v be_v thy_o part_n do_v act_v very_o lively_a and_o to_o thy_o credit_n and_o yet_o thy_o conscience_n tell_v thou_o that_o thy_o heart_n be_v streighten_v now_o can_v thou_o rise_v up_o with_o joy_n because_o thou_o have_v thy_o end_n at_o another_o time_n perhaps_o thy_o heart_n be_v more_o trouble_v and_o break_v but_o thou_o do_v not_o express_v thyself_o so_o much_o than_o thou_o be_v discourage_v and_o when_o thou_o see_v another_o perform_v a_o duty_n if_o thou_o see_v but_o any_o fail_n in_o their_o expression_n thou_o pitche_v upon_o that_o and_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o poor_a thing_n thou_o be_v not_o able_a to_o see_v a_o excellency_n in_o holy_a duty_n except_o there_o be_v a_o excellency_n of_o natural_a part_n but_o those_o that_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o can_v find_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n act_v in_o other_o though_o they_o have_v not_o such_o natural_a part_n 4_o those_o that_o be_v act_v by_o their_o natural_a part_n in_o secret_a they_o be_v less_o enlarge_v than_o they_o be_v before_o other_o a_o great_a deal_n their_o part_n act_n much_o before_o other_o but_o what_o be_v there_o between_o god_n and_o their_o own_o soul_n 5_o they_o that_o be_v so_o act_v will_v not_o be_v very_o constant_a you_o shall_v have_v young_a one_o that_o begin_v to_o look_v towards_o religion_n their_o part_n be_v a_o little_a fresh_a and_o they_o be_v mighty_o enlarge_v in_o holy_a duty_n and_o the_o thing_n be_v good_a for_o they_o to_o make_v use_n of_o their_o part_n but_o how_o ordinary_a it_o be_v that_o after_o a_o few_o year_n they_o be_v
unto_o the_o point_n in_o the_o general_n the_o last_o day_n we_o finish_v it_o i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o look_v back_o to_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v say_v but_o we_o be_v to_o proceed_v to_o

hear_v of_o the_o word_n 2_o receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n 3_o and_o prayer_n other_o thing_n come_v under_o worship_n but_o yet_o these_o be_v the_o three_o chief_n duty_n of_o worship_n and_o i_o intend_v to_o speak_v to_o all_o these_o three_o and_o to_o show_v how_o we_o shall_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o draw_v nigh_o unto_o he_o in_o the_o word_n sacrament_n and_o prayer_n we_o may_v choose_v several_a text_n for_o all_o these_o but_o they_o fall_v full_a within_o the_o general_n and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a for_o to_o ground_v the_o sanctify_a of_o of_o god_n name_n in_o these_o duty_n of_o worship_n upon_o this_o text_n 1_o of_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n that_o which_o we_o be_v to_o speak_v to_o this_o morning_n it_o be_v the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o word_n if_o you_o will_v have_v the_o ground_n of_o what_o we_o be_v to_o say_v concern_v this_o in_o a_o particular_a scripture_n you_o may_v have_v it_o in_o luke_n 8.18_o take_v heed_n therefore_o how_o you_o hear_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n that_o be_v good_a and_o no_o question_n but_o god_n be_v please_v with_o the_o willingness_n of_o people_n to_o come_v to_o hear_v his_o word_n but_o you_o must_v not_o rest_v bare_o in_o hear_v but_o take_v heed_n how_o you_o hear_v now_o this_o be_v a_o point_n of_o great_a consequence_n and_o i_o hope_v it_o may_v do_v good_a to_o help_v to_o make_v many_o sermon_n to_o be_v profitable_a to_o you_o &_o the_o point_n i_o hope_n be_v seasonable_a and_o will_v be_v very_o suitable_a unto_o you_o for_o those_o that_o come_v to_o hear_v so_o soon_o in_o a_o morning_n and_o be_v willing_a even_o in_o hard_a weather_n to_o come_v out_o of_o their_o bed_n they_o give_v some_o good_a testimony_n that_o they_o do_v desire_n to_o honour_n god_n in_o their_o hear_n and_o to_o get_v good_a by_o their_o hear_n and_o it_o be_v pity_v that_o labour_n and_o pain_n shall_v be_v bestow_v and_o no_o profit_n but_o hurt_v rather_o get_v by_o it_o which_o god_n forbid_v therefore_o now_o i_o be_o to_o speak_v to_o a_o point_n that_o may_v help_v you_o so_o to_o hear_v as_o may_v recompense_v all_o your_o labour_n and_o pain_n in_o hear_v in_o preach_v to_o those_o that_o come_v to_o hear_v that_o so_o they_o may_v get_v good_a and_o benefit_n by_o it_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o encouragement_n than_o to_o such_o as_o come_v in_o a_o formal_a way_n because_o they_o use_v to_o come_v therefore_o this_o point_n be_v a_o great_a point_n i_o shall_v open_v it_o somewhat_o large_o and_o shall_v cast_v it_o into_o this_o method_n first_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n for_o otherwise_o i_o can_v not_o ground_v it_o upon_o my_o text_n second_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o how_o we_o be_v to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o word_n either_o in_o regard_n of_o preparation_n unto_o it_o or_o one_o behaviour_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n three_o why_o it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o this_o ordinance_n of_o he_o four_o how_o god_n will_v sanctify_v himself_o in_o such_o that_o do_v not_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o word_n five_o how_o god_n will_v sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o way_n of_o mercy_n to_o those_o that_o be_v careful_a to_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n these_o be_v the_o five_o principal_a thing_n that_o concern_v this_o argument_n for_o the_o first_o that_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n you_o hear_v in_o the_o open_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o the_o general_n what_o it_o be_v i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v a_o tender_v up_o of_o the_o creature_n homage_n to_o god_n a_o testimony_n of_o the_o respect_n that_o the_o creature_n do_v owe_v to_o god_n now_o if_o that_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o worship_n certain_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n for_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n we_o 1_o first_o do_v profess_v our_o dependence_n upon_o god_n for_o the_o know_v of_o his_o mind_n and_o the_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n every_o time_n we_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n if_o we_o know_v what_o we_o do_v we_o do_v thus_o much_o we_o do_v profess_v that_o we_o do_v depend_v upon_o the_o lord_n god_n for_o the_o know_v of_o his_o mind_n and_o the_o way_n and_o rule_v to_o eternal_a life_n we_o do_v as_o much_o as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v lord_n of_o ourselves_o we_o neither_o know_v thou_o nor_o the_o way_n &_o mean_n how_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v save_v and_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v testify_v our_o dependence_n upon_o thou_o for_o this_o thing_n we_o here_o present_v ourselves_o before_o thou_o now_o this_o be_v a_o testimony_n of_o the_o high_a respect_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n 2_o second_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o worship_n because_o in_o it_o we_o come_v to_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o ordinance_n to_o have_v that_o good_a convey_v to_o we_o by_o way_n of_o a_o ordinance_n beyond_o what_o the_o thing_n in_o itself_o be_v able_a to_o do_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v worship_n i_o wait_v upon_o god_n when_o i_o be_o hear_v the_o word_n if_o i_o know_v what_o i_o do_v to_o have_v some_o spiritual_a good_a convey_v to_o i_o beyond_o what_o there_o be_v in_o the_o mean_n itself_o this_o make_v it_o worship_n when_o i_o be_o bufy_v in_o natural_a and_o civil_a action_n there_o i_o must_v profess_v that_o these_o thing_n can_v do_v i_o no_o good_a without_o god_n but_o i_o do_v not_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o a_o ordinance_n for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o natural_a good_a beyond_o what_o god_n have_v put_v into_o the_o creature_n it_o be_v his_o blessing_n with_o it_o that_o god_n in_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o his_o providence_n do_v convey_v such_o natural_a or_o civil_a good_a in_o the_o use_n of_o those_o creature_n but_o now_o when_o i_o come_v to_o hear_v his_o word_n i_o here_o come_v to_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o ordinance_n for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o some_o spiritual_a good_a that_o this_o ordinance_n have_v not_o in_o its_o self_n take_v it_o material_o but_o mere_o as_o it_o have_v a_o institution_n in_o it_o and_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n god_n do_v appoint_v meat_n to_o nourish_v i_o and_o together_o with_o his_o appointment_n he_o have_v give_v a_o natural_a power_n to_o meat_n to_o nourish_v my_o body_n that_o in_o a_o ordinary_a course_n of_o providence_n be_v enough_o for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o my_o body_n but_o now_o when_o i_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n i_o must_v look_v upon_o that_o not_o only_o as_o a_o thing_n appoint_v to_o work_v upon_o my_o soul_n and_o to_o save_v my_o soul_n by_o not_o as_o a_o thing_n that_o have_v any_o efficacy_n put_v into_o it_o in_o a_o natural_a way_n as_o the_o other_o have_v it_o be_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o carry_v such_o a_o power_n in_o it_o but_o it_o be_v the_o institution_n of_o god_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o it_o now_o then_o when_o i_o come_v to_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o a_o ordinance_n for_o the_o spiritual_a good_a that_o be_v beyond_o the_o virtue_n of_o any_o creature_n to_o convey_v to_o i_o certain_o i_o worship_v god_n that_o be_v a_o special_a part_n of_o worship_n to_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o this_o way_n therefore_o in_o these_o two_o respect_n the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o i_o beseech_v you_o remember_v these_o two_o thing_n every_o time_n you_o come_v to_o hear_v i_o come_v now_o to_o give_v a_o testimony_n that_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o understand_v god_n and_o the_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n of_o myself_o but_o i_o do_v depend_v upon_o god_n for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o and_o here_o i_o come_v to_o wait_v upon_o god_n
for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o that_o good_a to_o my_o soul_n that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o creature_n to_o convey_v now_o i_o worship_v when_o i_o do_v these_o but_o further_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o more_o plain_a when_o we_o come_v to_o open_v how_o we_o shall_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o word_n this_o be_v divine_a service_n as_o much_o as_o any_o service_n can_v be_v perform_v heretofore_o our_o prelate_n and_o those_o kind_n of_o man_n make_v all_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n to_o be_v in_o their_o divine_a service_n as_o they_o call_v it_o which_o be_v of_o their_o own_o invention_n and_o make_v light_n of_o the_o preach_n or_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n but_o the_o word_n be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o that_o divine_a service_n that_o god_n require_v of_o we_o in_o his_o worship_n and_o in_o it_o you_o do_v tender_a up_o your_o homage_n to_o god_n you_o therefore_o must_v not_o only_a when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v think_v i_o come_v to_o get_v something_o i_o come_v to_o understand_v more_o than_o i_o do_v and_o to_o hear_v such_o a_o man_n part_n and_o the_o like_a but_o remember_v you_o come_v to_o tender_v up_o your_o homage_n to_o god_n to_o sit_v at_o god_n foot_n and_o there_o to_o profess_v your_o subjection_n to_o he_o that_o be_v one_o end_n of_o your_o come_n to_o hear_v sermon_n now_o than_o you_o will_v say_v what_o shall_v be_v do_v in_o the_o hear_n god_n word_n so_o as_o god_n name_n may_v be_v sanctify_v for_o that_o as_o we_o open_v in_o the_o general_n that_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n there_o must_v be_v preparation_n and_o then_o a_o answerable_a behaviour_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o here_o there_o must_v first_o be_v a_o preparation_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o this_o work_n and_o then_o a_o answerable_a behaviour_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o it_o 1_o there_o must_v be_v a_o preparation_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o as_o when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v you_o may_v with_o all_o readiness_n receive_v the_o word_n the_o soul_n must_v be_v make_v ready_a in_o act._n 17.11_o there_o it_o be_v say_v these_o be_v more_o noble_a than_o those_o of_o thessalonica_n in_o that_o they_o receive_v the_o word_n with_o all_o readiness_n of_o mind_n the_o word_n be_v with_o all_o alacriâ—y_n as_o well_o as_o readiness_n their_o mind_n be_v in_o a_o fit_a preparation_n to_o receive_v the_o word_n and_o the_o text_n say_v they_o be_v more_o noble_a the_o word_n that_o be_v translate_v more_o noble_a it_o signify_v better_a breed_v for_o i_o do_v not_o take_v this_o scripture_n as_o if_o it_o be_v mean_v only_o of_o man_n that_o be_v earl_n or_o lord_n that_o do_v thus_o receive_v the_o word_n with_o readiness_n but_o they_o be_v of_o a_o more_o noble_a disposition_n they_o be_v well_o breed_v man_n so_o the_o greek_a word_n signify_v a_o man_n sometime_o preach_v to_o a_o company_n of_o rude_a people_n that_o never_o have_v any_o good_a breed_n they_o will_v behave_v themselves_o rude_o they_o slight_a the_o word_n and_o like_o the_o swine_n regard_v acorn_n rather_o than_o pearl_n and_o the_o word_n be_v seldom_o so_o profitable_a to_o a_o company_n of_o rude_a people_n that_o have_v no_o breed_n at_o all_o but_o now_o there_o be_v more_o hope_n to_o preach_v to_o man_n that_o have_v breed_n man_n that_o be_v exercise_v in_o art_n and_o science_n and_o have_v some_o understanding_n and_o some_o ingenuity_n in_o they_o they_o will_v hearken_v to_o reason_n now_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o spiritual_a reason_n in_o the_o word_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n to_o convince_v man_n that_o be_v but_o rational_a man_n let_v a_o man_n be_v but_o a_o rational_a man_n and_o willing_a to_o attend_v to_o the_o word_n i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o convince_v he_o in_o it_o and_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o good_a breed_n of_o man_n of_o ingenuity_n to_o be_v willing_a to_o hear_v the_o word_n who_o be_v those_o in_o a_o parish_n that_o so_o disregard_n the_o word_n as_o not_o to_o hear_v it_o but_o the_o rude_a sort_n there_o be_v many_o i_o confess_v that_o be_v man_n of_o part_n perhaps_o the_o word_n do_v not_o prevail_v with_o their_o heart_n to_o convert_v they_o yet_o if_o they_o have_v any_o good_a breed_n at_o all_o if_o the_o word_n be_v preach_v in_o a_o convince_a way_n so_o that_o they_o see_v there_o be_v pain_n take_v and_o preach_v as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o they_o they_o will_v vouchsafe_v their_o presence_n at_o least_o but_o the_o rude_a multitude_n that_o know_v nothing_o at_o all_o they_o have_v rather_o be_v in_o alehouse_n drink_v and_o swill_v they_o never_o care_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n as_o in_o such_o a_o place_n as_o this_o there_o be_v very_o few_o of_o your_o miserable_a poor_a people_n that_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n what_o place_n be_v there_o full_a of_o miserable_a poor_a people_n than_o this_o place_n be_v and_o yet_o what_o a_o poor_a appearance_n be_v there_o of_o such_o people_n at_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n but_o now_o those_o that_o have_v any_o ingenuity_n in_o they_o at_o all_o or_o any_o breed_n for_o so_o the_o word_n be_v they_o will_v receive_v the_o word_n with_o readiness_n but_o this_o breed_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v a_o little_a high_o than_o natural_a breed_n they_o be_v spiritual_o noble_a and_o so_o they_o have_v a_o readiness_n in_o their_o heart_n in_o receive_v the_o word_n now_o this_o readiness_n of_o heart_n in_o receive_v the_o word_n consist_v in_o these_o particular_n first_o when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n if_o you_o will_v sanctify_v god_n name_n you_o must_v possess_v your_o soul_n with_o what_o it_o be_v that_o you_o be_v go_v to_o hear_v that_o what_o you_o be_v to_o hear_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o speak_n of_o a_o man_n that_o you_o be_v go_v to_o attend_v upon_o but_o that_o you_o be_v now_o go_v to_o attend_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o eternal_a god_n possess_v your_o soul_n with_o this_o you_o will_v never_o sanctify_v god_n name_n else_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o word_n therefore_o you_o find_v that_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o thessalonian_o he_o give_v they_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o word_n do_v they_o so_o much_o good_a as_o it_o do_v it_o be_v because_o they_o do_v hear_v it_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 1._o thess_n 2.13_o for_o this_o cause_n also_o say_v he_o thank_v we_o god_n without_o cease_v because_o when_o you_o receive_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o you_o hear_v of_o we_o you_o receive_v it_o not_o as_o the_o word_n of_o man_n but_o as_o it_o be_v in_o truth_n the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o effectual_o work_v also_o in_o you_o that_o believe_v mark_v so_o it_o come_v effectual_o to_o work_v because_o they_o receive_v it_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n many_o time_n you_o will_v say_v come_v let_v we_o go_v hear_v such_o a_o man_n preach_v oh_o no_o let_v we_o go_v hear_v christ_n preach_v for_o as_o it_o do_v concern_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n that_o they_o preach_v not_o themselves_o but_o that_o christ_n shall_v preach_v in_o they_o so_o it_o concern_v you_o that_o hear_v not_o to_o come_v to_o hear_v this_o man_n or_o that_o man_n but_o to_o come_v to_o hear_v jesus_n christ_n we_o as_o the_o ambassador_n of_o christ_n do_v beseech_v you_o say_v the_o apostle_n 2_o possess_v your_o heart_n likewise_o with_o this_o consideration_n that_o i_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n as_o a_o ordinance_n appoint_v by_o god_n to_o convey_v spiritual_a good_a to_o my_o soul_n and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a useful_a consideration_n and_o especial_o it_o concern_v man_n of_o understanding_n and_o part_n for_o the_o help_a of_o they_o to_o hear_v for_o man_n that_o be_v of_o understanding_n and_o part_n when_o they_o come_v to_o hear_v this_o temptation_n be_v ready_a to_o come_v upon_o they_o that_o except_o they_o hear_v some_o new_a thing_n that_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v before_o wherefore_o shall_v they_o come_v i_o be_o able_a to_o understand_v as_o much_o in_o such_o a_o point_n as_o can_v be_v say_v and_o when_o i_o have_v come_v and_o hear_v many_o time_n i_o have_v hear_v but_o that_o i_o know_v before_o and_o upon_o that_o they_o think_v there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o come_v to_o hear_v now_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n you_o do_v not_o come_v always_o to_o hear_v what_o you_o do_v not_o know_v it_o may_v be_v sometime_o god_n may_v dart_v in_o some_o thing_n that_o you_o do_v not_o think_v of_o before_o
or_o so_o full_o understand_v but_o suppose_v it_o be_v not_o so_o you_o be_v to_o come_v to_o it_o as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o spiritual_a good_a to_o your_o soul_n you_o will_v say_v can_v we_o fit_v at_o home_n and_o read_v a_o sermon_n but_o have_v god_n appoint_v that_o the_o great_a ordinance_n for_o the_o convert_n and_o the_o edify_n of_o soul_n in_o the_o way_n of_o eternal_a life_n true_o there_o be_v some_o use_n of_o it_o but_o the_o great_a ordinance_n be_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n faith_n come_v by_o hear_v the_o scripture_n say_v and_o never_o by_o read_v so_o that_o though_o when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v you_o do_v not_o hear_v that_o which_o you_o hear_v not_o before_o yet_o you_o come_v to_o attend_v upon_o this_o ordinance_n for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o some_o spiritual_a good_a that_o it_o may_v be_v have_v not_o be_v convey_v before_o or_o in_o a_o further_a degree_n than_o it_o have_v be_v convey_v before_o and_o so_o you_o shall_v come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n with_o your_o heart_n possess_v with_o that_o meditation_n that_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o great_a ordinance_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o spiritual_a good_a so_o that_o i_o come_v now_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o in_o this_o do_v i_o testify_v my_o respect_n to_o god_n that_o i_o will_v

he_o be_v account_v a_o honest_a man_n that_o deal_v square_o and_o true_o with_o man_n in_o all_o action_n such_o a_o man_n you_o will_v say_v be_v a_o honest_a man_n as_o honest_a a_o man_n as_o

of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n i_o say_v we_o be_v now_o treat_v about_o this_o point_n how_o we_o be_v to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o that_o which_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o

come_v to_o present_v ourselves_o before_o god_n and_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n himself_o in_o a_o service_n that_o he_o himself_o require_v of_o we_o in_o a_o holy_a in_o a_o divine_a service_n we_o come_v to_o present_v ourselves_o to_o god_n for_o blessing_n for_o communication_n of_o some_o high_a good_a unto_o we_o then_o possible_o those_o creature_n that_o we_o have_v to_o

come_v i_o say_v to_o present_v ourselves_o to_o god_n that_o we_o may_v have_v communion_n with_o he_o and_o that_o we_o may_v have_v the_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n convey_v unto_o we_o through_o these_o thing_n now_o certain_o this_o be_v a_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n for_o to_o present_v ourselves_o for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n through_o these_o creature_n yea_o that_o we_o may_v have_v communion_n with_o god_n himself_o in_o they_o this_o be_v draw_v nigh_o to_o he_o when_o we_o come_v to_o his_o table_n therefore_o we_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n have_v not_o god_n institute_v and_o appoint_v these_o creature_n bread_n and_o wine_n and_o the_o action_n about_o they_o to_o be_v the_o mean_n of_o conveyance_n of_o blessing_n unto_o as_o it_o have_v be_v will-worship_n for_o we_o to_o have_v expect_v any_o further_a presence_n of_o god_n in_o such_o creature_n than_o there_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o they_o it_o be_v true_a god_n be_v present_a with_o every_o creature_n when_o we_o eat_v and_o drink_v at_o our_o table_n god_n be_v present_a there_o but_o we_o can_v be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n and_o worship_n god_n there_o for_o we_o there_o look_v for_o no_o further_a presence_n of_o god_n with_o we_o in_o they_o to_o convey_v further_a good_a than_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o thing_n only_o when_o godly_a people_n take_v they_o and_o receive_v they_o as_o blessing_n sanctify_v by_o the_o word_n they_o take_v they_o as_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n that_o come_v out_o of_o love_n to_o they_o but_o now_o when_o we_o come_v to_o receive_v that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o communion_n there_o we_o expect_v thing_n that_o be_v beyond_o the_o nature_n of_o these_o creature_n to_o convey_v that_o that_o be_v by_o a_o institution_n of_o god_n set_v a_o part_n for_o supernatural_a use_n and_o end_n not_o to_o convey_v in_o any_o natural_a way_n such_o and_o such_o thing_n but_o in_o a_o supernatural_a way_n through_o the_o institution_n of_o god_n and_o so_o it_o come_v to_o be_v worship_n have_v we_o not_o i_o say_v a_o command_n for_o this_o it_o be_v superstition_n and_o idolatry_n for_o we_o to_o make_v use_n of_o such_o creature_n for_o such_o end_n if_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n shall_v have_v appoint_v a_o piece_n of_o bread_n or_o a_o draught_n of_o wine_n to_o have_v signify_v and_o seal_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n it_o have_v be_v superstition_n in_o any_o and_o will-worship_n and_o sinful_a and_o abominable_a to_o you_o but_o we_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o god_n set_v apart_o these_o creature_n for_o such_o holy_a and_o solemn_a end_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o come_v to_o be_v exercise_v in_o they_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n and_o we_o come_v likewise_o to_o tender_v up_o our_o homage_n to_o god_n when_o we_o come_v to_o attend_v upon_o he_o in_o such_o

nigh_o to_o he_o in_o these_o second_o we_o must_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o draw_v nigh_o to_o he_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v whether_o we_o eat_v or_o drink_v we_o must_v do_v all_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n now_o if_o in_o our_o common_a eat_n and_o drink_v we_o must_v do_v all_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n then_o certain_o in_o this_o spiritual_a eat_n and_o drink_v there_o must_v be_v some_o special_a thing_n do_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o this_o 1._o because_o there_o be_v so_o much_o of_o god_n in_o it_o for_o here_o there_o be_v a_o present_v before_o we_o the_o

i_o mention_v it_o to_o show_v what_o a_o power_n there_o be_v in_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n about_o this_o ordinance_n this_o ordinary_o be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o strike_v upon_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n when_o they_o come_v to_o have_v their_o conscience_n awaken_v oh_o how_o have_v i_o profane_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o holy_a

be_v the_o three_o thing_n which_o i_o promise_v to_o show_v how_o we_o shall_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o this_o ordinance_n certain_o the_o name_n of_o god_n have_v be_v much_o take_v in_o vain_a there_o have_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o pollution_n in_o the_o use_n of_o this_o ordinance_n and_o in_o man_n spirit_n when_o they_o have_v be_v exercise_v themselves_o in_o such_o a_o holy_a ordinance_n as_o this_o be_v therefore_o i_o will_v open_v this_o to_o you_o and_o shall_v not_o be_v very_o large_a in_o it_o only_o to_o show_v you_o the_o main_a and_o principal_a thing_n that_o may_v serve_v for_o the_o direction_n of_o we_o that_o the_o name_n of_o god_n may_v not_o be_v so_o take_v in_o vain_a and_o dishonour_v as_o heretofore_o and_o i_o shall_v cast_v what_o i_o intend_v to_o speak_v of_o into_o these_o particular_n 1_o that_o whosoever_o be_v to_o partake_v of_o this_o must_v be_v holy_a himself_o none_o can_v sanctify_v god_n but_o he_o must_v have_v a_o sanctify_a heart_n himself_o second_o this_o ordinance_n it_o must_v be_v receive_v in_o a_o holy_a communion_n there_o must_v be_v a_o communion_n of_o saint_n for_o this_o ordinance_n and_o it_o can_v be_v receive_v any_o where_o else_o but_o in_o a_o communion_n of_o saint_n three_o the_o holy_a disposition_n of_o soul_n particular_o or_o the_o qualification_n of_o soul_n that_o be_v require_v for_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n in_o this_o ordinance_n four_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o explicit_a go_n out_o of_o the_o soul_n that_o there_o be_v to_o be_v at_o that_o very_a time_n of_o receive_v fifâ—hly_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n in_o our_o receive_n these_o thing_n be_v require_v for_o the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o this_o ordinance_n for_o the_o first_o those_o that_o come_v must_v be_v holy_a themselves_o this_o be_v a_o ordinance_n not_o appoint_v for_o conversion_n to_o make_v holy_a other_o that_o be_v not_o convert_v may_v come_v to_o the_o word_n because_o the_o word_n it_o be_v appoint_v to_o work_v conversion_n it_o be_v appoint_v to_o work_v grace_n to_o work_v the_o first_o grace_n faith_n come_v by_o hear_v but_o we_o do_v not_o find_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o this_o be_v appoint_v for_o conversion_n but_o it_o suppose_v conversion_n none_o be_v to_o come_v to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n but_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o before_o be_v convert_v by_o the_o word_n the_o word_n first_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o man_n for_o their_o conversion_n and_o then_o this_o be_v a_o ordinance_n appoint_v for_o to_o seal_v they_o therefore_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n they_o let_v all_o come_v to_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n and_o then_o when_o the_o sermon_n be_v do_v there_o be_v a_o officer_n step_v up_o and_o cry_v holy_a thing_n for_o holy_a man_n and_o then_o all_o other_o be_v to_o go_v out_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v missa_fw-la though_o the_o papist_n do_v corrupt_v it_o and_o so_o call_v it_o the_o mass_n afterward_o by_o mix_v their_o own_o invention_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o it_o have_v that_o name_n at_o first_o i_o say_v this_o holy_a communion_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o missa_fw-la because_o that_o all_o other_o be_v send_v away_o and_o only_o such_o as_o be_v of_o the_o church_n and_o account_v godly_a stay_v holy_a thing_n to_o holy_a man_n and_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o because_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n require_v it_o it_o must_v be_v suppose_v that_o all_o that_o come_v hither_o must_v be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n they_o must_v be_v such_o as_o have_v be_v bring_v to_o submit_v to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n now_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v believe_v and_o be_v save_v it_o be_v therefore_o appoint_v for_o believer_n and_o as_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o be_v a_o seal_n suppose_v a_o covenant_n so_o none_o can_v have_v this_o covenant_n seal_v to_o they_o but_o those_o that_o do_v first_o submit_v to_o it_o and_o be_v bring_v into_o covenant_n when_o you_o make_v a_o indenture_n and_o put_v to_o the_o seal_n certain_o the_o seal_n belong_v only_o to_o those_o that_o have_v their_o name_n in_o the_o indenture_n now_o it_o be_v true_a though_o man_n name_n be_v not_o mention_v in_o the_o word_n yet_o the_o condition_n be_v to_o those_o that_o be_v bring_v in_o to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n say_v god_n i_o come_v now_o to_o seal_v all_o my_o mercy_n in_o christ_n to_o their_o soul_n we_o abuse_v god_n if_o we_o come_v to_o take_v the_o seal_n to_o a_o blank_a it_o be_v to_o make_v this_o ordinance_n a_o ridiculous_a thing_n therefore_o there_o must_v be_v some_o transaction_n between_o god_n and_o your_o soul_n before_o you_o come_v to_o the_o seal_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v unto_o you_o come_v set_v to_o you_o seal_v to_o such_o a_o thing_n and_o there_o be_v never_o any_o kind_n of_o transaction_n between_o this_o man_n &_o you_o before_o you_o will_v account_v it_o ridiculous_a after_o there_o have_v be_v agreement_n between_o you_o you_o use_v then_o to_o seal_v so_o it_o must_v be_v here_o i_o will_v appeal_v to_o many_o of_o your_o conscience_n that_o have_v come_v to_o the_o lord_n supper_n what_o transaction_n have_v there_o be_v between_o god_n and_o your_o soul_n can_v thou_o say_v the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o reveal_v himself_o to_o i_o to_o make_v know_v to_o i_o my_o wretched_a

and_o i_o have_v find_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v my_o heart_n to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n speak_v to_o i_o and_o i_o send_v a_o answer_n to_o heaven_n again_o how_o willing_a my_o soul_n be_v to_o accept_v of_o the_o covenant_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v with_o poor_a creature_n in_o the_o word_n of_o his_o gospel_n can_v thou_o say_v this_o in_o the_o

with_o he_o second_o this_o ordinance_n it_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o spiritual_a nourishment_n of_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n now_o it_o must_v needs_o suppose_v that_o first_o there_o must_v be_v life_n before_o there_o can_v be_v any_o nourishment_n receive_v in_o if_o it_o be_v appoint_v to_o nourish_v and_o increase_v grace_n then_o sure_o there_o must_v be_v grace_n before_o what_o nourishment_n can_v a_o dead_a child_n take_v the_o very_o first_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v be_v nourishment_n here_o the_o word_n have_v power_n to_o convey_v life_n and_o then_o to_o nourish_v but_o we_o read_v of_o no_o such_o thing_n here_o but_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v here_o be_v present_o to_o feed_v to_o eat_v and_o to_o drink_v that_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o sacrament_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v suppose_v that_o thou_o must_v have_v spiritual_a life_n there_o must_v come_v no_o dead_a soul_n to_o

when_o they_o look_v upon_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o in_o a_o way_n of_o covenant_n why_o then_o they_o think_v this_o this_o require_v somewhat_o of_o our_o part_n to_o be_v do_v and_o

be_v the_o disintangling_a of_o the_o heart_n from_o the_o world_n and_o from_o all_o occasion_n and_o business_n in_o the_o world_n i_o be_o to_o worship_n god_n but_o how_o be_v my_o heart_n ensnare_v and_o entangle_v in_o this_o and_o the_o other_o business_n now_o when_o i_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n i_o must_v lay_v aside_o all_o for_o there_o be_v the_o preparation_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o separate_n of_o it_o for_o such_o a_o work_n for_o that_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o sanctification_n the_o separate_n of_o a_o thing_n from_o a_o common_a use_n i_o be_o to_o worship_n god_n now_o i_o must_v labour_v to_o separate_v my_o heart_n from_o a_o common_a use_n at_o other_o time_n god_n give_v i_o liberty_n to_o let_v out_o my_o heart_n to_o common_a use_n but_o now_o

one_o that_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v in_o the_o world_n for_o that_o time_n it_o be_v true_a the_o time_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a for_o this_o as_o the_o time_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n be_v holy_a you_o will_v say_v why_o may_v not_o any_o time_n be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a that_o i_o spend_v in_o holy_a duty_n no_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o make_v time_n holy_a for_o the_o time_n that_o god_n make_v holy_a it_o be_v not_o holy_a because_o of_o the_o duty_n that_o i_o perform_v in_o it_o but_o the_o duty_n that_o i_o perform_v then_o be_v more_o acceptable_a because_o they_o be_v do_v in_o such_o a_o time_n and_o so_o that_o make_v a_o place_n holy_a not_o because_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o holy_a duty_n and_o use_n but_o because_o it_o be_v so_o appoint_v by_o
