their_o love_n to_o god_n 2_o their_o love_n to_o jesus_n christ_n 3_o their_o love_n to_o their_o soul_n to_o who_o they_o preach_v 4_o a_o kind_n of_o love_n to_o themselves_o first_o those_o that_o have_v commit_v to_o they_o the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o apostle_n have_v it_o put_v into_o we_o the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n reason_n 1._o first_o that_o that_o make_v they_o so_o earnest_a it_o be_v the_o love_n they_o have_v to_o god_n for_o they_o know_v that_o this_o be_v the_o great_a glory_n of_o god_n this_o that_o shine_v in_o the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n in_o that_o that_o they_o go_v to_o declare_v to_o the_o world_n &_o except_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v his_o glory_n in_o that_o the_o truth_n be_v he_o have_v his_o glory_n in_o nothing_o in_o comparison_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o may_v testify_v their_o love_n to_o god_n that_o the_o god_n who_o their_o soul_n love_v may_v have_v his_o glory_n in_o that_o which_o be_v indeed_o his_o glory_n and_o his_o masterpiece_n of_o all_o his_o work_n o_o this_o it_o be_v that_o make_v they_o earnest_a they_o think_v if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o his_o glory_n here_o where_o shall_v he_o have_v his_o glory_n o_o it_o be_v infinite_a pity_n that_o so_o great_a a_o work_n wherein_o so_o much_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n do_v appear_v that_o the_o lord_n shall_v have_v no_o glory_n in_o that_o work_n reason_n 2._o and_o again_o their_o dear_a love_n to_o jesus_n christ_n every_o faithful_a minister_n of_o christ_n do_v bear_v a_o dear_a affection_n towards_o jesus_n christ_n and_o their_o soul_n will_v feign_v that_o jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v lift_v up_o in_o the_o world_n now_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o lift_v up_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o world_n so_o much_o as_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n those_o that_o have_v any_o love_n to_o christ_n that_o know_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o they_o they_o desire_v to_o lift_v up_o his_o name_n and_o beside_o the_o honour_n the_o work_n put_v they_o upon_o it_o be_v the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n and_o a_o honourable_a work_n it_o be_v and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n paul_n rom._n 15._o have_v a_o notable_a expression_n for_o that_o purpose_n honour_n of_o the_o work_n it_o be_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o verse_n 20._o the_o word_n in_o the_o greek_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v to_o love_v the_o honour_n of_o it_o those_o that_o understand_v the_o language_n it_o be_v a_o word_n that_o signify_v to_o love_v the_o honour_n of_o a_o thing_n i_o be_v ambitious_a to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n that_o be_v the_o phrase_n and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v translate_v i_o be_v ambitious_a to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n so_o that_o paul_n be_v not_o ambitious_a for_o a_o great_a live_n or_o to_o be_v brave_a or_o in_o power_n or_o a_o justice_n of_o peace_n or_o a_o lord_n and_o the_o like_a as_o many_o minister_n of_o late_o have_v be_v but_o his_o ambition_n be_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n look_v upon_o that_o as_o the_o great_a preferment_n that_o any_o of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v capable_a of_o or_o that_o he_o can_v desire_v in_o the_o world_n reason_n 3_o and_o then_o again_o beside_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n make_v they_o earnest_a in_o love_n unto_o their_o brother_n and_o to_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o people_n to_o who_o they_o preach_v for_o they_o know_v that_o soul_n be_v utter_o undo_v except_o they_o come_v to_o know_v god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n except_o they_o come_v to_o have_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n reveal_v whatsoever_o excellency_n they_o have_v in_o this_o world_n what_o part_n of_o nature_n they_o have_v yet_o they_o be_v lose_v undo_v miserable_a creature_n for_o ever_o and_o better_o they_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v better_a they_o have_v never_o breathe_v in_o the_o air_n except_o jesus_n christ_n be_v reveal_v unto_o they_o now_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n that_o know_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o revelation_n of_o christ_n but_o that_o if_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v commit_v to_o he_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v earnest_a and_o faithful_a in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n reason_n 4._o and_o there_o may_v be_v some_o argument_n from_o love_n to_o themselves_o those_o that_o have_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n commit_v to_o they_o some_o way_n god_n give_v they_o leave_v to_o love_v themselves_o they_o can_v love_v themselves_o any_o way_n so_o as_o to_o be_v earnest_a in_o the_o ministry_n first_o if_o they_o be_v faithful_a in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o god_n go_v along_o with_o they_o as_o he_o will_v if_o they_o be_v faithful_a then_o oh_o how_o many_o soul_n shall_v bless_v they_o if_o at_o any_o one_o sermon_n if_o perhaps_o they_o go_v into_o a_o strange_a place_n and_o work_v upon_o a_o few_o soul_n they_o shall_v hear_v their_o soul_n blessing_n god_n for_o they_o every_o time_n they_o go_v into_o god_n presence_n now_o what_o a_o wonderful_a encouragement_n be_v it_o for_o a_o minister_n to_o be_v painful_a in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n than_o to_o have_v a_o bishopric_n to_o have_v but_o one_o soul_n bless_v god_n for_o one_o that_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o work_v upon_o and_o this_o be_v no_o other_o than_o we_o challenge_v to_o be_v our_o due_n if_o we_o by_o any_o mean_n may_v be_v poor_a instrument_n of_o god_n to_o reveal_v christ_n to_o any_o of_o your_o soul_n this_o be_v due_a in_o justice_n that_o you_o shall_v ever_o mention_v we_o before_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n and_o that_o the_o blessing_n of_o your_o
