and_o in_o likelihood_n with_o envy_n see_v the_o chronicle_n of_o paulus_n meriam_n doctor_n fulck_n in_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o rhemish_a testament_n do_v say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o

thing_n and_o before_o christ_n jesus_n who_o before_o pontius_n pilate_n witness_v a_o good_a confession_n etc._n etc._n hitherto_o the_o apostle_n have_v set_v down_o unto_o we_o a_o perfect_a pattern_n to_o teach_v all_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n how_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o church_n of_o the_o live_a god_n in_o all_o the_o part_n and_o portion_n of_o their_o spiritual_a function_n for_o the_o advancement_n of_o god_n glory_n and_o for_o the_o edification_n of_o his_o saint_n and_o for_o the_o avoid_n of_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o may_v offend_v god_n in_o his_o worship_n either_o in_o doctrine_n or_o discipline_n he_o have_v set_v we_o down_o and_o have_v let_v we_o see_v what_o sort_v of_o man_n must_v have_v charge_n in_o god_n house_n and_o he_o have_v warn_v we_o of_o the_o error_n that_o they_o must_v avoid_v in_o doctrine_n and_o of_o the_o vanity_n they_o must_v avoid_v in_o their_o form_n of_o speech_n and_o he_o have_v likewise_o let_v we_o see_v what_o form_n of_o discipline_n be_v to_o be_v use_v in_o god_n church_n in_o this_o chapter_n he_o come_v to_o the_o conclusion_n of_o it_o all_o and_o first_o before_o he_o conclude_v it_o he_o first_o deal_v against_o servant_n who_o do_v abuse_v their_o christian_a liberty_n as_o a_o pretext_n to_o the_o flesh_n refuse_v to_o obey_v their_o master_n some_o because_o their_o master_n be_v heathen_n and_o therefore_o they_o think_v that_o a_o christian_a make_v free_a by_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o serve_v they_o other_o because_o their_o master_n be_v christian_n therefore_o they_o think_v it_o equal_a that_o one_o christian_n shall_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o be_v a_o servant_n to_o another_o the_o apostle_n answer_v both_o these_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o chapter_n and_o after_o return_n back_o again_o and_o give_v warning_n to_o timothy_n and_o in_o his_o person_n to_o all_o pastor_n what_o shall_v be_v do_v that_o they_o shall_v teach_v and_o exhort_v the_o church_n this_o shall_v be_v the_o substance_n of_o their_o doctrine_n which_o in_o this_o epistle_n be_v contain_v and_o to_o move_v he_o to_o this_o he_o set_v down_o a_o argument_n from_o the_o miserable_a estate_n of_o those_o which_o keep_v not_o this_o commandment_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o if_o any_o man_n teach_v otherwise_o and_o consent_v not_o to_o this_o wholesome_a doctrine_n which_o be_v according_a unto_o godliness_n he_o be_v proud_a not_o know_v aright_o and_o he_o let_v we_o see_v the_o vain_a ground_n of_o this_o their_o vanity_n as_o first_o they_o be_v man_n of_o corrupt_a mind_n the_o second_o be_v they_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o truth_n the_o 3._o be_v this_o they_o suppose_v gain_n be_v godliness_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v manifest_a that_o this_o show_v it_o to_o be_v the_o plain_a contrary_n and_o that_o godliness_n be_v great_a gain_n and_o this_o he_o show_v by_o a_o strong_a argument_n in_o the_o verse_n follow_v and_o he_o labour_v to_o draw_v all_o pastor_n from_o this_o vice_n of_o coveteousnesse_n and_o he_o teach_v they_o how_o they_o shall_v exercise_v themselves_o continual_o he_o set_v down_o a_o perfect_a pattern_n for_o all_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n to_o practice_n they_o must_v follow_v after_o godliness_n faith_n love_n meekness_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o second_o they_o must_v fight_v the_o good_a fight_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o last_o be_v the_o end_n and_o intent_n that_o they_o may_v lay_v hold_n on_o eternal_a life_n and_o he_o subjoin_v 2._o reason_n why_o timothy_n shall_v do_v so_o as_o first_o because_o he_o be_v call_v thereunto_o of_o god_n second_o because_o he_o have_v profess_v a_o good_a profession_n before_o many_o witness_n therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o shame_n for_o he_o to_o faint_v and_o not_o to_o go_v forward_o and_o continue_v now_o the_o apostle_n conclude_v with_o a_o most_o weighty_a charge_n to_o timothy_n and_o in_o his_o person_n unto_o all_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o charge_n be_v continue_v in_o 4_o verse_n from_o the_o 13_o verse_n unto_o the_o 17._o and_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o charge_n stand_v in_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v in_o keep_v of_o this_o commandment_n without_o spot_n unrebukeable_o and_o the_o second_o be_v the_o constant_a keep_n of_o it_o the_o first_o part_n concern_v the_o matter_n he_o be_v to_o look_v unto_o the_o 2_o be_v concern_v the_o time_n how_o long_o they_o must_v keep_v this_o and_o both_o part_n have_v their_o ground_n and_o reason_n in_o they_o first_o we_o will_v speak_v of_o they_o as_o they_o be_v general_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o first_o &_o 2_o verse_n wherein_o we_o have_v first_o to_o mark_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o charge_n the_o word_n charge_n be_v the_o sane_a word_n which_o the_o apostle_n use_v before_o in_o this_o epistle_n the_o first_o chapter_n wherein_o he_o say_v that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v love_n out_o of_o a_o pure_a heart_n where_o the_o word_n here_o call_v a_o commandment_n be_v the_o same_o here_o use_v for_o charge_n so_o that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o exhortation_n or_o request_n but_o it_o be_v a_o straight_a and_o severe_a commandment_n second_o this_o commandment_n be_v strengthen_v by_o a_o double_a authority_n the_o authority_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n first_o i_o charge_v thou_o before_o god_n and_o second_o before_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n three_o this_o authority_n be_v yet_o more_o strengthen_v and_o great_a weyght_n be_v add_v to_o it_o not_o simple_o by_o lay_v god_n or_o christ_n before_o they_o but_o by_o lay_v god_n before_o he_o and_o christ_n before_o he_o each_o of_o they_o in_o the_o particular_a consideration_n of_o they_o which_o be_v this_o that_o he_o do_v quicken_v all_o thing_n the_o particular_a consideration_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o that_o he_o witness_v and_o confess_v a_o good_a confession_n before_o pontius_n pilate_n of_o these_o i_o will_v brief_o speak_v before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o commandment_n itself_o which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o next_o word_n to_o keep_v this_o commandment_n without_o spot_n or_o blameless_a till_o christ_n appear_v again_o first_o concern_v the_o charge_n but_o before_o we_o come_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o particular_n of_o it_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v what_o shall_v move_v the_o apostle_n to_o add_v this_o heavy_a charge_n to_o his_o former_a precept_n especial_o to_o timothy_n who_o he_o so_o much_o commend_v that_o be_v find_v no_o man_n like_o mind_a unto_o he_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n he_o know_v he_o to_o be_v such_o a_o man_n yet_o he_o give_v a_o severe_a charge_n unto_o timothy_n and_o in_o his_o person_n to_o all_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n the_o reason_n i_o take_v to_o be_v twofold_a first_o that_o man_n may_v not_o dally_v with_o this_o doctrine_n as_o though_o it_o may_v be_v alterable_a by_o his_o church_n or_o change_v at_o the_o appointment_n of_o prince_n therefore_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o know_v this_o be_v not_o so_o but_o it_o be_v of_o divine_a authority_n which_o none_o dare_v to_o change_v as_o he_o will_v answer_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o christ_n in_o who_o name_n he_o charge_v he_o that_o so_o neither_o timothy_n nor_o any_o other_o potentate_n shall_v think_v these_o precept_n to_o be_v the_o precept_n of_o man_n or_o such_o as_o his_o church_n may_v alter_v at_o their_o discretion_n but_o this_o charge_n be_v give_v we_o to_o this_o end_n to_o force_v we_o all_o and_o most_o chief_o pastor_n to_o observe_v it_o as_o we_o will_v answer_v it_o before_o god_n at_o his_o most_o dreadful_a judgement_n therefore_o no_o command_n of_o prince_n nor_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o loss_n of_o our_o life_n may_v cause_v we_o to_o violate_v this_o truth_n the_o second_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n give_v this_o weighty_a charge_n unto_o timothy_n who_o be_v so_o rare_a a_o man_n of_o who_o steadfastness_n

from_o above_o first_o of_o all_o this_o let_v we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a thing_n to_o be_v astonish_v at_o the_o fury_n of_o prince_n it_o be_v but_o miserable_a weakness_n of_o man_n that_o know_v what_o god_n be_v certain_z it_o be_v if_o we_o serve_v god_n aright_o we_o will_v not_o be_v move_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n you_o see_v when_o as_o jeroboam_fw-la will_v have_v apprehend_v the_o prophet_n that_o god_n send_v to_o threaten_v his_o judgement_n upon_o he_o for_o his_o idolatry_n when_o he_o stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o apprehend_v he_o god_n so_o decred_a that_o his_o hand_n wither_v that_o when_o he_o have_v stretch_v it_o out_o he_o can_v not_o pull_v it_o in_o again_o this_o god_n that_o can_v make_v the_o hand_n of_o a_o king_n to_o wither_v when_o he_o do_v oppose_v the_o counsel_n of_o god_n what_o need_v any_o man_n to_o fear_n whenas_o our_o saviour_n and_o god_n be_v on_o our_o side_n we_o know_v what_o saul_n do_v unto_o david_n he_o do_v use_v all_o his_o skill_n to_o destroy_v he_o but_o it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o he_o to_o do_v it_o because_o god_n who_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n be_v with_o david_n and_o god_n do_v show_v his_o power_n against_o saul_n in_o this_o when_o he_o put_v saul_n life_n into_o david_n hand_n but_o he_o never_o put_v david_n life_n into_o saules_n hand_n we_o know_v what_o enmity_n ahab_n have_v against_o elias_n the_o prophet_n yet_o the_o lord_n command_v he_o to_o go_v to_o he_o &_o the_o prophet_n answer_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o seek_v his_o life_n but_o the_o lord_n answer_v he_o say_v go_v be_v not_o afraid_a and_o the_o prophet_n go_v to_o he_o &_o tell_v he_o that_o it_o be_v he_o that_o trouble_a israel_n and_o the_o lord_n restrain_v he_o that_o he_o can_v do_v the_o prophet_n no_o harm_n infinite_a example_n in_o the_o scripture_n we_o have_v of_o this_o to_o let_v we_o see_v that_o he_o can_v hold_v king_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v no_o more_o harm_n than_o god_n will_v suffer_v they_o to_o prove_v this_o truth_n of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n to_o come_v yet_o to_o make_v more_o use_n of_o this_o why_o do_v the_o apostle_n lie_v this_o before_o we_o the_o use_n be_v partly_o for_o king_n and_o partly_o for_o we_o the_o first_o lesson_n for_o king_n be_v this_o that_o i_o touch_v before_o concern_v nabuchadnezar_n how_o god_n force_v he_o to_o learn_v how_o to_o know_v god_n to_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n therefore_o let_v all_o potentate_n learn_v to_o know_v that_o god_n have_v rule_v over_o they_o and_o their_o kingdom_n and_o it_o be_v he_o that_o make_v they_o king_n and_o sert_n they_o in_o their_o throne_n and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o this_o it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n to_o make_v they_o will_v they_o will_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v this_o to_o their_o destruction_n for_o the_o say_n of_o isaie_n shall_v be_v accomplish_v which_o the_o lord_n there_o speak_v all_o knee_n shall_v bow_v to_o he_o and_o every_o mouth_n shall_v confess_v he_o to_o be_v the_o lord_n for_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o suffer_v himself_o long_o to_o be_v despise_v but_o in_o his_o own_o time_n he_o will_v challenge_v his_o right_n in_o despite_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v a_o bless_a thing_n if_o king_n will_v consider_v this_o that_o it_o be_v by_o god_n that_o they_o do_v reign_v observe_v what_o it_o be_v christ_n shall_v do_v in_o the_o last_o day_n the_o proper_a effect_n of_o this_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v to_o put_v down_o all_o principallitye_n and_o power_n and_o to_o give_v up_o his_o kingdom_n to_o god_n that_o god_n may_v be_v all_o in_o all_o 1._o corin_n 15_o then_o shall_v they_o see_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o that_o he_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n if_o king_n will_v consider_v this_o that_o the_o time_n shall_v come_v that_o the_o world_n shall_v not_o have_v a_o kingdom_n nor_o king_n but_o god_n alone_o i_o think_v they_o will_v then_o reverence_v this_o god_n in_o great_a measure_n than_o they_o do_v but_o this_o sort_n of_o doctrine_n be_v harsh_a to_o prince_n ear_n to_o think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n above_o they_o or_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o of_o who_o they_o hold_v their_o sceptre_n and_o yet_o they_o must_v know_v this_o or_o feel_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o by_o experience_n in_o god_n judgement_n the_o second_o use_n for_o king_n and_o lord_n be_v this_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v teach_v they_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a to_o all_o man_n that_o they_o oppress_v no_o man_n because_o they_o have_v a_o king_n over_o they_o in_o heaven_n unto_o who_o they_o must_v give_v a_o account_n of_o their_o do_n this_o argument_n the_o apostle_n use_v to_o master_n in_o sundry_a place_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v that_o that_o be_v right_a to_o their_o servant_n know_v they_o have_v a_o master_n in_o heaven_n if_o superior_n will_v but_o acknowledge_v this_o that_o they_o have_v a_o lord_n over_o they_o that_o shall_v take_v a_o reckon_n of_o they_o aswell_o as_o they_o take_v a_o reckon_n with_o their_o inferior_n sure_o it_o will_v make_v they_o to_o do_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v right_a these_o be_v the_o use_n that_o do_v concern_v king_n and_o ruler_n now_o there_o be_v great_a use_n of_o this_o likewise_o for_o ourselus_o beside_o the_o encouragement_n it_o give_v we_o not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o any_o power_n in_o the_o world_n but_o it_o teach_v we_o this_o lesson_n not_o to_o resist_v power_n nor_o authority_n because_o there_o be_v no_o power_n nor_o authority_n but_o it_o be_v from_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n show_v now_o since_o all_o authority_n be_v of_o god_n he_o that_o resist_v authority_n he_o resist_v god_n but_o some_o object_n what_o if_o they_o be_v tyrant_n and_o merciless_a man_n and_o such_o as_o make_v no_o conscience_n to_o do_v wrong_a i_o answer_v even_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v to_o servant_n who_o he_o command_v to_o be_v subject_n not_o only_o to_o their_o good_a master_n and_o such_o as_o be_v gentle_a but_o also_o to_o they_o which_o be_v froward_a so_o i_o say_v if_o thou_o will_v do_v thy_o duty_n thou_o ought_v rather_o to_o suffer_v wrong_a and_o to_o suffer_v thyself_o to_o be_v oppress_v rather_o than_o to_o lift_v up_o thyself_o against_o authority_n which_o thou_o be_v under_o for_o if_o this_o bond_n of_o subjection_n to_o prince_n be_v loose_v kingdom_n can_v not_o stand_v if_o every_o servant_n shall_v stand_v against_o their_o master_n and_o every_o subject_n against_o his_o prince_n when_o he_o be_v wrong_v no_o common_a wealth_n can_v stand_v it_o be_v true_a we_o may_v use_v all_o lawful_a mean_n to_o eschew_v wrong_a and_o magistrate_n may_v plead_v in_o parliament_n with_o their_o prince_n for_o they_o have_v also_o their_o authority_n from_o god_n we_o ought_v to_o use_v all_o lawful_a mean_n to_o escape_v wrong_a but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o possibility_n of_o escape_v we_o must_v rather_o suffer_v they_o to_o wrong_v we_o for_o power_n and_o authority_n be_v to_o be_v reverence_v as_o be_v of_o god_n and_o indeed_o god_n do_v sometime_o in_o justice_n give_v bad_a ruler_n to_o avenge_v himself_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n he_o give_v to_o israel_n a_o king_n in_o his_o wrath_n and_o he_o stir_v up_o a_o wicked_a king_n in_o israel_n to_o avenge_v himself_o upon_o the_o people_n for_o their_o idolatry_n do_v you_o not_o think_v but_o that_o the_o devil_n be_v god_n instrument_n against_o the_o wicked_a so_o be_v every_o wiked_a king_n th●_n lord_n scourge_v the_o rod_n of_o his_o justice_n to_o inflict_v upon_o his_o enemy_n when_o as_o good_a ruler_n be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o a_o people_n that_o be_v careful_a to_o please_v he_o the_o lord_n will_v make_v they_o nurse_v father_n and_o mother_n unto_o his_o church_n and_o so_o god_n in_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n make_v king_n and_o ruler_n to_o subject_n as_o he_o see_v cause_n either_o to_o plague_v they_o or_o to_o preserve_v they_o this_o be_v the_o secret_a of_o god_n providence_n thus_o to_o order_v the_o world_n according_a as_o he_o see_v they_o carry_v themselves_o towards_o he_o we_o see_v that_o so_o long_o as_o israel_n do_v not_o know_v god_n so_o long_a god_n give_v they_o into_o their_o enemy_n hand_n and_o they_o have_v tyrant_n to_o rule_v over_o they_o but_o when_o they_o seek_v the_o lord_n as_o they_o shall_v and_o ought_v the_o lord_n give_v they_o gracious_a judge_n to_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o enemy_n and_o assoon_o as_o they_o fall_v from_o
