because_o some_o be_v weak_a and_o have_v need_n of_o daily_a strengthen_n some_o fall_n into_o error_n and_o some_o into_o grievous_a sin_n from_o the_o which_o they_o be_v to_o be_v draw_v out_o by_o the_o effectual_a preach_n of_o the_o word_n this_o do_v the_o holy_a apostle_n confirm_v whereas_o he_o say_v that_o the_o whole_a scripture_n be_v profitable_a to_o teach_v 3.16_o to_o

that_o hear_v thou_o god_n so_o bless_v the_o preach_n of_o his_o servant_n jonas_n 3.4_o that_o through_o it_o the_o ninivites_fw-la beléeve_v god_n humble_v they_o self_n and_o forsake_v their_o

these_o great_a and_o notable_a blessing_n do_v ensue_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o therefore_o require_v most_o necessary_o in_o every_o minister_n 7_o on_o the_o other_o side_n without_o this_o both_o the_o minister_n and_o the_o people_n be_v accurse_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v require_v at_o his_o hand_n because_o he_o have_v not_o as_o a_o faithful_a watchman_n 3.17_o forewarn_v they_o of_o danger_n and_o yet_o they_o shall_v die_v in_o their_o own_o sin_n the_o lord_n complain_v by_o his_o prophet_n hosea_n say_v 4.6_o my_o people_n be_v destroy_v for_o lack_n of_o knowledge_n because_o thou_o haste_v refuse_v knowledge_n i_o will_v also_o refuse_v thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v be_v no_o priest_n to_o i_o 5.13_o to_o this_o agree_v our_o saviour_n christ_n if_o the_o salt_n have_v lose_v his_o saltness_n it_o be_v good_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o and_o to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n of_o man_n and_o if_o these_o minister_n which_o sometime_o have_v have_v salt_n in_o they_o zeal_n and_o knowledge_n to_o season_v the_o people_n and_o by_o negligence_n and_o carelessness_n decay_n and_o loose_v it_o if_o these_o i_o say_v be_v worthy_a to_o be_v cast_v out_o how_o miserable_a and_o curse_a be_v they_o which_o never_o have_v nor_o yet_o have_v any_o salt_n in_o they_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v fulfil_v of_o they_o which_o our_o saviour_n speak_v in_o a_o other_o place_n they_o be_v blind_a leader_n of_o the_o blind_a and_o if_o the_o blind_a lead_v the_o blind_a 15.14_o both_o shall_v fall_v into_o the_o

into_o utter_a darkness_n there_o shall_v be_v weep_v and_o gnash_n of_o tooth_n and_o here_o it_o be_v say_v woe_n be_v to_o i_o if_o i_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n see_v then_o that_o every_o way_n there_o hang_v so_o many_o grievous_a curse_n both_o upon_o the_o minister_n and_o people_n where_o the_o word_n be_v not_o preach_v it_o be_v most_o requysite_a and_o necessary_a that_o every_o minister_n look_v to_o this_o even_o as_o he_o will_v escape_v the_o fearful_a and_o heavy_a curse_n of_o god_n 8_o moreover_o the_o chief_a end_n and_o use_v why_o the_o scripture_n be_v write_v do_v require_v preach_v 14._o they_o be_v leave_v for_o our_o comfort_n instruction_n and_o edify_v but_o we_o be_v most_o comfort_v instruct_v and_o edifyed_a if_o they_o be_v open_v and_o apply_v to_o we_o and_o therefore_o most_o necessary_a that_o they_o be_v so_o use_v 9_o also_o the_o corruption_n and_o dulness_n of_o our_o nature_n require_v the_o same_o we_o be_v dull_a ignorant_a and_o careless_a we_o please_v ourselves_o in_o our_o own_o sin_n the_o devil_n go_v about_o continual_o to_o devour_v we_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o have_v continual_a preach_v of_o the_o word_n 14._o the_o natural_a man_n perceive_v not_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o god_n spirit_n david_n 12._o after_o he_o have_v sin_v continue_v in_o his_o sin_n until_o the_o prophet_n reproove_v he_o for_o

prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o preach_v and_o that_o every_o minister_n be_v bind_v to_o preach_v three_o i_o will_v show_v what_o they_o ought_v to_o preach_v the_o first_o point_n as_o in_o many_o other_o place_n so_o here_o it_o be_v name_v but_o not_o full_o set_v down_o what_o it_o be_v but_o in_o other_o place_n we_o may_v easy_o gather_v what_o it_o be_v the_o second_o be_v here_o name_v and_o prove_v for_o saint_n paul_n be_v a_o minister_n and_o say_v woe_n be_v unto_o i_o if_o i_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n do_v plain_o affirm_v as_o much_o the_o three_o be_v here_o set_v down_o most_o plain_o the_o matter_n that_o we_o must_v preach_v of_o namely_o the_o gospel_n as_o touch_v the_o first_o let_v we_o see_v how_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v particular_o and_o special_o apply_v to_o the_o public_a office_n of_o the_o minister_n otherwise_o i_o know_v this_o word_n preach_v to_o have_v a_o further_a and_o more_o general_a signification_n but_o i_o speak_v of_o it_o as_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v apply_v it_o to_o the_o minister_n saint_n paul_n say_v 14.3_o he_o that_o prophesi_v speak_v unto_o man_n to_o edify_v 4.2_o to_o exhortation_n and_o to_o comfort_v the_o same_o apostle_n charge_v timothy_n &_o in_o he_o every_o minister_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n add_v immediate_o 21.15_o improove_v rebuke_n exhort_v with_o all_o long_a suffering_n and_o doctrine_n 5.2_o the_o bless_a apostle_n peter_n as_o he_o receive_v of_o his_o master_n a_o charge_n to_o feed_v his_o flock_n so_o he_o exhort_v all_o other_o to_o do_v the_o same_o the_o holy_a evangelist_n luke_n say_v that_o christ_n teach_v or_o preach_v in_o nazareth_n he_o first_o read_v 4.16_o than_o shut_v the_o book_n afterward_o he_o expound_v that_o scripture_n which_o he_o read_v and_o so_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o hearer_n by_o these_o and_o such_o like_a place_n we_o may_v gather_v that_o preach_v proper_o as_o we_o speak_v of_o it_o be_v a_o exposition_n and_o application_n of_o the_o scripture_n by_o the_o lively_a voice_n of_o the_o minister_n to_o the_o edify_n of_o the_o people_n whereby_o it_o may_v easy_o appear_v that_o read_n be_v not_o preach_v nor_o yet_o sufficient_a in_o a_o minister_n approve_v of_o god_n saint_n paul_n will_v have_v he_o apt_a to_o teach_v 3.2_o the_o prophet_n malachy_n affirm_v that_o the_o priest_n lip_n must_v preserve_v knowledge_n 2.7_o christ_n after_o read_v shut_v the_o book_n and_o expound_v and_o yet_o some_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o count_v simple_a read_v sufficient_a say_v it_o will_v serve_v the_o turn_n and_o there_o may_v be_v as_o much_o good_a do_v by_o it_o as_o by_o preach_v as_o for_o read_v we_o speak_v not_o against_o it_o we_o disallow_v it_o not_o but_o account_v it_o a_o holy_a lawful_a necessary_a and_o profitable_a mean_n whereby_o great_a good_a and_o benefit_n be_v wrought_v to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v y_z t_z it_o be_v sufficient_a in_o a_o minister_n y_z t_z it_o will_v serve_v simple_o of_o itself_o in_o the_o public_a congregation_n the_o lord_n have_v set_v down_o another_o order_n and_o require_v great_a thing_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o special_a servant_n but_o this_o matter_n shall_v appear_v more_o plain_a in_o the_o word_n follow_v for_o my_o purpose_n in_o this_o part_n be_v only_o to_o show_v you_o by_o some_o circumstance_n and_o description_n what_o preach_v be_v and_o that_o read_n be_v not_o preach_v or_o at_o least_o that_o kind_n of_o preach_v which_o the_o lord_n require_v in_o his_o minister_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o compare_v they_o together_o and_o by_o use_v some_o apt_a similitude_n for_o the_o explanation_n of_o this_o matter_n the_o smell_n or_o sight_n of_o meat_n do_v good_a to_o the_o hungry_a man_n but_o it_o will_v not_o feed_v he_o except_o he_o taste_v of_o it_o so_o by_o read_v man_n may_v have_v some_o smell_n of_o religion_n but_o they_o shall_v never_o thorough_o taste_v of_o it_o without_o preach_v 4.11_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v a_o feed_n as_o we_o hear_v before_o and_o preacher_n be_v count_v pastor_n and_o feeder_n again_o
