profane_a man_n viz._n he_o sell_v away_o his_o birthright_n for_o one_o portion_n of_o meat_n it_o require_v first_o we_o know_v what_o this_o birthright_n be_v and_o then_o the_o price_n he_o have_v for_o it_o as_o touch_v the_o birthright_n you_o must_v note_v it_o stand_v in_o diverse_a privilege_n 17.7_o 1._o privilege_n gen._n 17.7_o especial_o these_o five_o first_o he_o be_v by_o nature_n heir_n to_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n have_v make_v with_o abraham_n his_o grandfather_n and_o so_o come_v to_o his_o father_n isaac_n who_o do_v mean_a to_o have_v leave_v it_o with_o esau_n which_o be_v that_o god_n will_v be_v his_o god_n and_o the_o god_n of_o his_o seed_n after_o he_o second_o privilege_n 2._o privilege_n 3._o privilege_n 4._o privilege_n that_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n shall_v come_v of_o he_o three_o he_o be_v heir_n to_o all_o his_o grandfather_n and_o his_o father_n land_n fourthlie_o all_o his_o brethren_n and_o sister_n be_v they_o never_o

death_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o he_o most_o profane_o sell_v all_o this_o away_o now_o let_v we_o hear_v the_o price_n he_o sell_v it_o for_o no_o doubt_v he_o sell_v it_o at_o a_o great_a rate_n 25.34_o gen._n 25.34_o true_o for_o one_o portion_n of_o meat_n what_o portion_n be_v it_o it_o be_v a_o mess_n of_o pottage_n oh_o profane_a wretch_n that_o can_v find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o sell_v such_o a_o precious_a pearl_n and_o to_o part_v with_o it_o at_o such_o a_o base_a rate_n but_o this_o he_o do_v and_o so_o light_o do_v he_o esteem_v these_o heavenly_a blessing_n fron_n hence_o we_o may_v observe_v this_o instruction_n whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o have_v his_o hart_n so_o glue_v to_o the_o present_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n as_o that_o he_o prefer_v they_o above_o spiritual_a thing_n belong_v to_o salvation_n be_v not_o only_o a_o man_n of_o a_o profane_a heart_n but_o have_v a_o manifest_a sign_n of_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n upon_o his_o soul_n example_n we_o have_v hereof_o this_o profane_a man_n who_o prefer_v these_o temporal_a thing_n above_o his_o birthright_n and_o sell_v it_o away_o and_o for_o what_o do_v he_o part_v it_o away_o why_o for_o to_o fill_v his_o belly_n what_o be_v the_o chief_a reason_n of_o his_o hunger_n his_o hunt_n he_o have_v take_v such_o pleasure_n in_o his_o hunt_n that_o he_o be_v a_o hunger_a and_o to_o fill_v his_o belly_n he_o sell_v away_o god_n blessing_n and_o so_o procure_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n on_o himself_o and_o his_o posterity_n much_o like_a to_o many_o at_o this_o day_n who_o have_v their_o heart_n so_o set_v on_o their_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n as_o that_o they_o hunt_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n from_o their_o soul_n the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o apostle_n paul_n write_v to_o the_o philippian_n set_n down_o a_o mark_n to_o discern_v between_o a_o wicked_a man_n and_o one_o of_o god_n child_n 3.19.20_o phil._n 3.19.20_o the_o one_o have_v his_o mind_n fix_v on_o earthly_a thing_n but_o the_o other_o have_v his_o mind_n daily_o on_o the_o thing_n that_o do_v belong_v to_o salvation_n a_o warning_n of_o this_o sin_n have_v our_o saviour_n give_v to_o we_o in_o that_o parable_n set_v down_o by_o the_o evangelist_n matthew_n 22.2.3.4.5.6.7_o matth_n 22.2.3.4.5.6.7_o where_o compare_v his_o father_n to_o a_o suppose_a king_n that_o marry_v his_o son_n and_o make_v a_o feast_n and_o send_v his_o servant_n to_o call_v they_o that_o be_v bid_v but_o they_o refuse_v and_o prefer_v the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n before_o the_o heavenly_a banquet_n and_o make_v their_o excuse_n but_o how_o take_v the_o king_n the_o matter_n he_o send_v out_o his_o man_n of_o war_n and_o destroy_v they_o and_o burn_v up_o their_o city_n in_o the_o same_o case_n it_o stand_v with_o we_o at_o this_o day_n god_n the_o father_n have_v marry_v his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n to_o his_o church_n at_o which_o he_o make_v a_o great_a feast_n he_o send_v out_o his_o servant_n the_o minister_n to_o call_v you_o by_o the_o word_n preach_v to_o invite_v you_o to_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n in_o which_o there_o be_v not_o only_o offer_v but_o real_o give_v to_o the_o worthy_a receiver_n all_o the_o benefit_n that_o christ_n have_v purchase_v for_o his_o elect_a now_o if_o we_o contemn_v despise_v or_o wilful_o neglect_v his_o gracious_a kindness_n and_o bounteous_a liberality_n to_o we_o herein_o prefer_v the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n before_o these_o heavenly_a blessing_n what_o can_v we_o expect_v but_o that_o justly_o he_o will_v send_v out_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o impenitency_n of_o soul_n utterlie_o to_o destroy_v and_o damn_v we_o for_o ever_o the_o reason_n why_o so_o many_o set_v heavenly_a thing_n at_o a_o small_a rate_n value_n and_o light_o esteem_v they_o be_v reas_n 1_o first_o because_o the_o immoderate_a love_n of_o earthly_a thing_n will_v keep_v all_o love_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n out_o of_o their_o heart_n 2.15_o 2._o john_n 2.15_o to_o which_o end_n the_o apostle_n say_v if_o any_o man_n love_v the_o world_n the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o in_o he_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o such_o as_o have_v their_o mind_n and_o heart_n fix_v on_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n can_v perform_v any_o service_n to_o god_n which_o he_o will_v delight_v in_o according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n no_o man_n can_v serve_v two_o master_n 1●_n luke_n 16_o 1●_n he_o can_v serve_v god_n and_o mammon_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v he_o that_o set_v his_o heart_n on_o the_o thing_n pertain_v to_o this_o life_n can_v but_o make_v light_a account_n of_o the_o thing_n pertain_v to_o the_o life_n to_o come_v 3.14_o gen._n 3.14_o the_o world_n be_v say_v to_o carry_v two_o breast_n in_o her_o bosom_n which_o be_v pleasure_n and_o profit_n by_o which_o she_o do_v nourish_v many_o to_o damnation_n when_o god_n do_v curse_v the_o serpent_n in_o paradise_n for_o a_o sign_n of_o his_o curse_n he_o tell_v he_o he_o shall_v go_v upon_o his_o belly_n so_o it_o be_v a_o visible_a sign_n of_o god_n curse_n upon_o that_o man_n who_o have_v his_o heart_n set_v on_o the_o earthly_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n as_o his_o money_n his_o riches_n his_o vanity_n etc._n etc._n reas_n 2_o a_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o feel_v not_o the_o need_n they_o stand_v in_o of_o spiritual_a thing_n they_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o people_n which_o the_o prophet_n hosea_n speak_v of_o who_o be_v call_v to_o repentance_n 12.8_o hosea_n 12.8_o say_v they_o be_v rich_a and_o have_v find_v they_o out_o riches_n yea_o they_o boast_v there_o be_v no_o iniquity_n to_o be_v find_v in_o they_o by_o which_o they_o do_v measure_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n unto_o they_o by_o their_o outward_a prosperity_n the_o like_a be_v set_v out_o by_o the_o laodicean_n in_o the_o revelation_n 3.16.17_o revel_v 3.16.17_o who_o be_v threaten_v for_o their_o lukewarmness_a answer_v they_o be_v rich_a and_o increase_v with_o good_n and_o have_v need_n of_o nothing_o and_o yet_o be_v wretched_a poor_a blind_a and_o naked_a all_o which_o set_v down_o the_o reason_n many_o prefer_v earthly_a thing_n before_o heavenly_a because_o they_o feel_v no_o need_n they_o have_v of_o they_o but_o flatter_v their_o heart_n with_o their_o outward_a prosperity_n whenas_o if_o ever_o god_n do_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o their_o mind_n they_o shall_v see_v they_o be_v most_o wretched_a poor_a blind_a and_o naked_a so_o that_o in_o their_o unregenerate_a estate_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 2.14_o 1._o cor._n 2.14_o they_o can_v see_v the_o need_n they_o stand_v in_o of_o heavenly_a thing_n daily_o experience_n we_o may_v see_v hereof_o in_o many_o among_o we_o who_o if_o you_o offer_v they_o any_o temporal_a commodity_n belong_v either_o to_o the_o back_n belly_n or_o pleasure_n how_o ready_a they_o be_v to_o hearken_v to_o you_o and_o run_v and_o ride_v with_o you_o in_o hope_n to_o benefit_v their_o estate_n but_o offer_v the_o same_o man_n any_o spiritual_a commodity_n for_o their_o soul_n as_o hear_v the_o word_n receive_v the_o sacrament_n or_o some_o worthy_a book_n to_o read_v and_o meditate_v upon_o they_o turn_v a_o deaf_a ear_n and_o will_v be_v at_o no_o pain_n or_o cost_n to_o entertain_v such_o a_o offer_n and_o all_o because_o they_o feel_v not_o the_o need_n they_o have_v thereof_o in_o their_o soul_n reas_n 3_o a_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o feel_v no_o sweetness_n in_o they_o god_n child_n be_v ravish_v with_o they_o which_o
