with_o patience_n the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o quicken_v they_o by_o the_o example_n of_o job_n and_o the_o prophet_n so_o when_o he_o will_v quicken_v they_o up_o to_o prayer_n he_o press_v they_o by_o the_o example_n of_o elias_n he_o be_v a_o man_n as_o well_o as_o we_o say_v he_o and_o have_v the_o like_a passion_n yet_o he_o pray_v when_o the_o heaven_n have_v be_v shut_v three_o

what_o he_o so_o believe_v and_o i_o so_o full_a of_o doubt_v he_o so_o lively_a and_o i_o so_o dull_a and_o blockish_a he_o so_o affect_v and_o i_o so_o untoward_a this_o shall_v shame_v we_o and_o

it_o shall_v awaken_v we_o this_o be_v a_o excellent_a mean_n to_o quicken_v we_o as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n when_o he_o will_v exhort_v his_o disciple_n to_o suffer_v persecution_n say_v he_o

that_o we_o may_v have_v their_o grace_n and_o comfort_n we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o last_o thing_n and_o that_o be_v to_o persuade_v you_o by_o some_o motive_n to_o shake_v off_o this_o deadness_n 5_o motive_n be_v special_a thing_n to_o quicken_v up_o a_o man_n the_o apostle_n when_o he_o will_v quicken_v up_o the_o corinthian_n to_o love_v he_o use_v divers_a motive_n unto_o they_o the_o first_o be_v take_v from_o the_o collation_n of_o love_n with_o all_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o god_n spirit_n he_o show_v without_o love_n they_o be_v all_o nothing_o though_o a_o man_n have_v all_o knowledge_n and_o all_o faith_n so_o that_o he_o can_v remove_v mountain_n and_o have_v not_o love_n it_o be_v nothing_o so_o that_o you_o see_v love_n be_v a_o excellent_a grace_n 1_o cor._n 13.1_o 2_o 3._o another_o motive_n he_o take_v from_o the_o effect_n and_o adjunct_n of_o love_n love_n suffer_v long_o etc._n etc._n from_o the_o four_o to_o the_o seven_o verse_n three_o he_o use_v another_o motive_n to_o show_v how_o love_n do_v general_o surpass_v most_o grace_n in_o the_o endurance_n of_o it_o prophecy_n they_o shall_v cease_v knowledge_n that_o shall_v cease_v and_o be_v do_v away_o but_o love_v that_o shall_v never_o be_v do_v away_o love_v never_o fail_v last_o he_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o cardinal_a virtue_n with_o the_o principal_a grace_n namely_o faith_n and_o hope_n and_o show_v how_o love_n be_v beyond_o they_o hope_n edify_v a_o man_n self_n but_o love_n edify_v the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n faith_n and_o hope_n must_v vanish_v and_o will_v not_o go_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n with_o we_o but_o love_v it_o do_v always_o accompany_v we_o so_o that_o you_o see_v the_o apostle_n be_v careful_a to_o use_v motive_n to_o quicken_v up_o people_n to_o that_o which_o he_o exhort_v they_o unto_o the_o scripture_n as_o it_o do_v bid_v we_o do_v a_o duty_n so_o it_o use_v motive_n to_o quicken_v we_o up_o to_o the_o do_v of_o it_o and_o again_o when_o it_o forbid_v any_o sin_n it_o use_v motive_n to_o take_v off_o our_o heart_n from_o that_o sin_n as_o when_o the_o apostle_n will_v dissuade_v from_o the_o unworthy_a receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n what_o abundance_n of_o motive_n do_v he_o heap_v one_o upon_o another_o to_o terrify_v we_o from_o it_o 1_o cor._n 11.23_o etc._n etc._n the_o first_o be_v from_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n i_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o which_o also_o i_o deliver_v unto_o you_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n etc._n etc._n as_o who_o shall_v say_v what_o will_v you_o profane_v his_o institution_n second_o from_o the_o time_n when_o he_o institute_v it_o the_o same_o night_n he_o be_v betray_v in_o his_o agony_n and_o in_o the_o

another_o be_v from_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o unworthy_a receive_n he_o shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n again_o from_o the_o danger_n of_o it_o whosoever_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o himself_o again_o from_o the_o particular_a judgement_n that_o god_n have_v inflict_v upon_o that_o town_n for_o this_o

motive_n to_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o it_o then_o much_o more_o in_o this_o point_n in_o the_o point_n of_o deadness_n to_o shake_v it_o off_o in_o the_o point_n of_o quicken_a that_o they_o will_v labour_v to_o get_v it_o and_o indeed_o when_o a_o man_n use_v motive_n to_o faith_n and_o repentance_n it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o get_v that_o but_o to_o quicken_v they_o up_o to_o faith_n and_o

there_o be_v no_o nickle_v of_o god_n everlasting_a favour_n break_v out_o whereas_o if_o we_o be_v plentiful_a in_o good_a work_n it_o will_v break_v forth_o as_o the_o sun_n out_o of_o a_o cloud_n

the_o reason_n that_o shall_v move_v god_n to_o do_v so_o much_o for_o paul_n and_o for_o timothy_n he_o do_v here_o express_v this_o three_o way_n first_o by_o remove_v all_o false_a cause_n cause_n
