but_o let_v these_o be_v assure_v that_o till_o they_o be_v love_v god_n will_v not_o be_v love_v second_o here_o we_o may_v make_v trial_n by_o our_o love_n to_o god_n child_n both_o of_o our_o

themselves_o the_o narration_n be_v in_o these_o three_o verse_n and_o the_o sum_n of_o it_o be_v that_o paul_n be_v prisoner_n at_o rome_n to_o express_v his_o care_n for_o and_o love_n to_o the_o

the_o chapter_n these_o four_o thing_n may_v be_v observe_v 1_o that_o religion_n extend_v itself_o to_o the_o behaviour_n of_o man_n even_o in_o these_o more_o ordinary_a matter_n of_o life_n so_o as_o man_n may_v sin_v or_o obey_v even_o in_o they_o 2_o that_o the_o love_n even_o of_o the_o best_a christian_n needs_o for_o the_o preserve_n and_o continue_v of_o it_o even_o these_o light_a

1.2_o and_o in_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o epistle_n 4_o among_o christian_n there_o may_v be_v a_o preheminencie_n of_o affection_n some_o may_v be_v love_v more_o than_o other_o the_o apostle_n be_v

in_o this_o part_n of_o the_o conclusion_n be_v the_o narration_n and_o out_o of_o the_o whole_a narration_n these_o thing_n may_v be_v note_v 1_o the_o general_a care_n minister_n shall_v have_v of_o

here_o i_o observe_v 1_o who_o commend_v he_o viz_o paul_n and_o this_o show_v that_o minister_n shall_v be_v careful_a to_o preserve_v and_o enlarge_v the_o credit_n of_o their_o brethren_n especial_o this_o be_v a_o care_n shall_v be_v in_o such_o as_o excel_v other_o in_o place_n or_o gift_n they_o be_v far_o from_o this_o that_o detract_v from_o the_o just_a praise_n of_o their_o

worse_o when_o the_o same_o person_n can_v countenance_v idle_a evil_a and_o scandalous_a person_n 2_o to_o what_o end_n viz_o that_o his_o embassage_n may_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o respect_a for_o the_o credit_n of_o the_o person_n win_v much_o respect_n to_o the_o doctrine_n itself_o 3_o in_o what_o manner_n and_o here_o observe_v two_o thing_n 1._o that_o he_o give_v he_o his_o full_a

not_o be_v easy_a in_o word_n or_o letter_n in_o discover_v the_o infirmity_n of_o faithful_a minister_n 4_o the_o particular_n of_o his_o praise_n and_o they_o may_v be_v divide_v thus_o either_o they_o be_v common_a to_o all_o true_a christian_n belove_a brother_n or_o proper_a to_o church_n officer_n 〈◊〉_d and_o that_o either_o in_o relation_n to_o christ_n a_o faithful_a minister_n or_o in_o relation_n to_o paul_n a_o fellow_n servant_n there_o be_v four_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o every_o good_a minister_n 1_o he_o must_v be_v a_o good_a man_n a_o brother_n 2_o he_o shall_v be_v belove_v of_o his_o people_n belove_a brother_n 3_o he_o must_v be_v faithful_a and_o his_o faithfulness_n stand_v in_o two_o thing_n 1._o diligence_n in_o labour_n 2._o sincerity_n in_o give_v every_o one_o their_o portion_n of_o rebuke_n comfort_n direction_n etc_n etc_n in_o due_a season_n 4_o he_o must_v be_v a_o fellow-seruant_n one_o that_o will_v draw_v in_o the_o yoke_n with_o his_o brethren_n this_o may_v smite_v the_o conscience_n of_o many_o sort_n of_o minister_n some_o because_o they_o be_v of_o wicked_a and_o scandalous_a life_n some_o because_o they_o have_v make_v themselves_o hateful_a to_o their_o people_n by_o their_o indiscretion_n covetousness_n contention_n etc_n etc_n some_o because_o they_o be_v not_o faithful_a either_o not_o true_a to_o the_o bed_n

three_o 1._o that_o he_o may_v declare_v unto_o they_o paul_n estate_n 2._o that_o he_o may_v know_v their_o estate_n 3._o that_o he_o may_v comfort_v their_o heart_n for_o the_o first_o if_o you_o

in_o as_o much_o as_o many_o time_n it_o be_v manifest_a physic_n do_v no_o good_a to_o the_o disease_a we_o be_v to_o understand_v three_o thing_n first_o that_o this_o may_v be_v the_o fault_n of_o

we_o may_v observe_v three_o thing_n 1_o that_o the_o vice_n of_o man_n by_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o truth_n may_v be_v restrain_v when_o they_o be_v not_o cure_v this_o man_n love_n of_o the_o

man_n for_o if_o we_o mark_v it_o the_o apostle_n not_o only_o reckon_v he_o in_o the_o last_o place_n but_o he_o name_v he_o also_o without_o any_o manner_n of_o praise_n as_o if_o he_o will_v

be_v in_o many_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v so_o censure_v without_o cause_n then_o to_o be_v beguile_v by_o man_n that_o make_v their_o religion_n but_o a_o cloak_n to_o their_o own_o end_n the_o three_o rule_n be_v that_o while_o they_o stand_v and_o fall_v not_o into_o open_a sin_n thou_o may_v not_o traduce_v they_o but_o conceal_v thy_o dislike_n till_o god_n lie_v they_o open_a unless_o
