and_o do_v not_o as_o far_o as_o be_v modest_a to_o his_o power_n vindicate_v it_o so_o we_o must_v grieve_v and_o be_v zealous_o affect_v when_o we_o hear_v that_o sacred_a name_n blaspheme_v by_o which_o we_o be_v call_v a_o servant_n be_v sorry_a if_o his_o master_n affair_n succeed_v not_o well_o he_o labour_v to_o accommodate_v his_o master_n and_o to_o content_v he_o in_o every_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o great_a discontent_n to_o a_o servant_n if_o thing_n thrive_v not_o with_o his_o master_n so_o we_o shall_v grieve_v when_o god_n affair_n go_v not_o well_o on_o though_o god_n will_v make_v they_o succeed_v yet_o when_o thing_n go_v not_o well_o with_o the_o church_n and_o child_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v lay_v it_o to_o heart_n again_o good_a servant_n wait_v upon_o their_o

to_o he_o and_o wait_v upon_o he_o for_o all_o we_o have_v as_o servant_n upon_o their_o master_n again_o good_a servant_n do_v not_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o prescribe_v their_o master_n either_o time_n or_o manner_n they_o will_v not_o tell_v their_o master_n what_o they_o desire_v to_o do_v and_o what_o they_o will_v have_v themselves_o but_o they_o wait_v on_o their_o master_n

on_o he_o as_o the_o eye_n of_o servant_n nay_o not_o only_o so_o but_o if_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o we_o will_v not_o only_o wait_v but_o hang_v upon_o he_o &_o not_o only_o so_o but_o in_o a_o

the_o ark_n float_v on_o the_o water_n nay_o we_o will_v not_o only_o wait_v upon_o he_o as_o servant_n but_o as_o child_n and_o not_o only_o with_o the_o eye_n of_o child_n but_o with_o the_o tear_n of_o child_n with_o eye_n fix_v and_o hand_n spread_v and_o knee_n bow_v with_o lip_n open_v and_o heart_n mount_v we_o will_v wait_v upon_o he_o that_o this_o hope_n may_v be_v fix_v in_o all_o our_o

to_o you_o at_o this_o time_n as_o the_o disciple_n be_v send_v to_o the_o good_a man_n of_o the_o house_n here_o it_o be_v the_o same_o word_n i_o bring_v to_o you_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o ask_v where_o be_v the_o guest-chamber_n it_o be_v the_o same_o master_n of_o we_o all_o that_o have_v send_v i_o to_o you_o the_o good_a master_n the_o great_a master_n the_o very_a master_n that_o speak_v here_o in_o the_o text_n go_v and_o prepare_v say_v to_o the_o good_a man_n of_o the_o house_n where_o be_v the_o guest-chamber_n that_o i_o may_v eat_v the_o passover_n with_o my_o disciple_n from_o verse_n 14._o to_o verse_n 21._o be_v set_v down_o to_o we_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o celebration_n the_o sollemnize_n and_o keep_v the_o passover_n and_o the_o celebrate_n of_o christ_n last_o

the_o preparation_n actual_a in_o the_o verse_n before_o you_o have_v the_o direction_n for_o the_o preparation_n and_o they_o be_v principal_o two_o there_o be_v one_o direction_n that_o christ_n give_v they_o at_o their_o first_o entry_n into_o the_o city_n they_o shall_v meet_v a_o man_n bear_v a_o pitcher_n of_o water_n the_o other_o direction_n that_o christ_n give_v they_o be_v when_o

so_o now_o in_o these_o two_o verse_n i_o will_v entreat_v you_o to_o consider_v only_o these_o 3_o thing_n there_o be_v the_o person_n to_o who_o christ_n send_v they_o say_v to_o the_o good_a man_n of_o the_o house_n and_o there_o be_v the_o message_n that_o they_o be_v to_o deliver_v to_o he_o a_o form_n of_o word_n that_o christ_n prescribe_v they_o the_o master_n say_v where_o be_v the_o guest-chamber_n that_o i_o may_v eat_v the_o passover_n with_o my_o disciple_n then_o the_o three_o be_v the_o success_n and_o the_o satisfaction_n that_o they_o shall_v receive_v upon_o this_o motion_n make_v to_o he_o he_o will_v show_v you_o a_o large_a upper_a room_n furnish_v there_o make_v ready_a i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o and_o that_o be_v the_o person_n to_o who_o christ_n send_v they_o here_o it_o be_v in_o the_o greek_a the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n the_o latin_a word_n be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o family_n the_o english_a translation_n render_v it_o oft_o in_o the_o gospel_n the_o good_a man_n of_o the_o house_n the_o greek_a word_n that_o set_v down_o to_o we_o most_o proper_o the_o civil_a respect_n the_o ruler_n of_o the_o family_n the_o latin_a word_n set_v down_o the_o natural_a respect_n the_o father_n of_o the_o family_n the_o english_a set_v out_o best_a to_o we_o the_o christian_a respect_n it_o be_v most_o christian_n it_o set_v down_o the_o religious_a respect_n the_o good_a man_n that_o be_v the_o chief_a the_o best_a man_n in_o the_o house_n four_o time_n in_o the_o gospel_n i_o find_v this_o word_n thus_o translate_v the_o good_a man_n of_o the_o house_n in_o mat._n 24.12_o if_o the_o good_a man_n of_o the_o house_n that_o be_v the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n kn●w_v at_o what_o hour_n the_o thief_n will_v come_v likewise_o in_o mat._n 20._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o those_o that_o receive_v the_o penny_n from_o the_o lord_n murmur_v the_o servant_n murmur_v against_o the_o good_a man_n of_o the_o house_n against_o he_o that_o pay_v they_o and_o here_o in_o this_o place_n i_o can_v but_o delight_v myself_o with_o the_o translation_n with_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o word_n that_o they_o shall_v so_o happy_o light_a upon_o this_o word_n which_o have_v the_o propriety_n only_o in_o our_o english_a tongue_n as_o to_z translate_v the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n the_o good_a man_n of_o the_o house_n the_o very_a interpretation_n of_o the_o word_n will_v show_v we_o thus_o much_o that_o those_o that_o be_v eminent_a in_o place_n shall_v be_v eminent_a in_o piety_n if_o there_o be_v any_o piety_n or_o goodness_n to_o be_v find_v in_o a_o city_n or_o in_o house_n it_o be_v to_o be_v presume_v that_o it_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v in_o he_o that_o be_v the_o head_n and_o chief_a god_n expect_v it_o more_o at_o such_o man_n hand_n by_o way_n of_o thankfulness_n because_o he_o have_v give_v they_o more_o mercy_n the_o whole_a be_v they_o he_o expect_v it_o from_o they_o by_o way_n of_o duty_n because_o he_o have_v give_v they_o a_o great_a account_n they_o be_v to_o answer_v not_o for_o themselves_o alone_o but_o for_o other_o commit_v to_o their_o charge_n they_o shall_v be_v example_n of_o piety_n they_o shall_v prescribe_v it_o to_o other_o otherwise_o if_o the_o great_a wheel_n be_v out_o of_o frame_n it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v fear_v that_o the_o lesser_a wheel_n will_v not_o keep_v a_o regular_a motion_n servant_n and_o child_n usual_o tread_v in_o the_o step_n of_o those_o aeconomicall_a king_n and_o it_o be_v a_o rare_a sight_n to_o see_v and_o to_o find_v a_o sober_a

the_o master_n or_o mistress_n be_v profane_a therefore_o it_o will_v be_v your_o care_n belove_v to_o uphold_v the_o word_n and_o to_o continue_v to_o yourselves_o the_o comfort_n of_o this_o excellent_a interpretation_n that_o still_o the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n may_v relish_v the_o good_a man_n of_o the_o house_n indeed_o then_o goodness_n come_v to_o be_v neglect_v when_o man_n come_v to_o affect_v greatness_n most_o and_o it_o be_v the_o affectation_n of_o the_o word_n lord_n and_o lady_n and_o sir_n that_o make_v man_n so_o far_o to_o neglect_v goodness_n and_o the_o name_n too_o of_o good_a man_n of_o the_o house_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o way_n to_o preserve_v it_o if_o you_o be_v those_o that_o govern_v your_o servant_n righteous_o that_o teach_v and_o nurture_n your_o child_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o set_v example_n of_o piety_n to_o all_o this_o name_n will_v still_o be_v preserve_v otherwise_o if_o you_o set_v evil_a example_n

in_o that_o they_o be_v call_v to_o christian_a liberty_n let_v man_n that_o know_v not_o the_o comfort_n of_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v divine_a of_o god_n institution_n sequester_v themselves_o and_o think_v it_o be_v no_o comfort_n or_o benefit_n at_o all_o to_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n our_o bless_a saviour_n by_o this_o very_a example_n do_v lay_v before_o their_o

all_o the_o precept_n that_o god_n give_v we_o that_o so_o oft_o transgress_v we_o that_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o so_o many_o help_n of_o faith_n and_o increase_v of_o comfort_n that_o encounter_n with_o so_o many_o temptation_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v true_a comfort_n let_v we_o find_v it_o in_o apply_v our_o whole_a life_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n to_o all_o those_o

we_o need_v have_v need_n be_v stir_v up_o to_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n oft_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n the_o second_o thing_n be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o communicant_n that_o i_o may_v eat_v the_o passover_n with_o my_o disciple_n he_o do_v not_o name_n himself_o alone_o though_o indeed_o the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o disciple_n be_v not_o to_o be_v silent_a yet_o he_o may_v have_v leave_v they_o out_o for_o it_o must_v be_v suppose_v that_o he_o will_v not_o eat_v it_o alone_o for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v eat_v with_o the_o family_n but_o he_o put_v they_o in_o by_o way_n of_o emphasis_n that_o i_o may_v eat_v it_o with_o they_o with_o all_o they_o and_o only_o with_o my_o disciple_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n especial_o commend_v to_o we_o it_o be_v first_o general_a and_o then_o it_o be_v exclusive_a that_o i_o may_v eat_v it_o with_o my_o disciple_n and_o eat_v it_o with_o none_o else_o even_o in_o this_o particular_a he_o show_v himself_o obedient_a not_o only_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o law_n but_o to_o the_o circumstance_n of_o it_o it_o be_v the_o command_n that_o god_n give_v exod._n 12._o for_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o passover_n every_o one_o be_v to_o eat_v it_o with_o his_o family_n with_o his_o own_o family_n the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o family_n of_o christ_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o he_o take_v they_o in_o they_o be_v his_o care_n his_o sheep_n his_o particular_a flock_n his_o scholar_n his_o pupil_n his_o servant_n his_o child_n in_o which_o according_a to_o what_o relation_n soever_o we_o look_v on_o it_o there_o be_v true_a reason_n why_o he_o shall_v eat_v it_o with_o his_o disciple_n when_o he_o go_v to_o be_v transfigure_v he_o take_v but_o 3._o disciple_n peter_n james_n and_o john_n because_o that_o be_v the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o glory_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v dispense_v to_o all_o but_o only_o to_o so_o many_o as_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v witness_n but_o this_o be_v a_o work_n of_o humiliation_n because_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o obedience_n the_o eat_n of_o the_o passover_n therefore_o there_o he_o take_v all_o i_o with_o my_o disciple_n because_o they_o have_v that_o reference_n to_o he_o to_o show_v we_o how_o careful_a we_o shall_v be_v of_o those_o that_o be_v commit_v to_o our_o charge_n parent_n of_o child_n master_n of_o servant_n tutor_n of_o their_o scholar_n pastor_n and_o shepherd_n of_o their_o people_n and_o flock_n it_o be_v the_o high_a commendation_n of_o any_o man_n in_o superior_a place_n that_o he_o look_v to_o those_o that_o be_v under_o he_o god_n will_v by_o that_o law_n of_o eat_v the_o passover_n with_o their_o family_n give_v they_o to_o understand_v thus_o much_o that_o in_o these_o spiritual_a reference_n all_o be_v alike_o to_o he_o there_o be_v the_o same_o law_n for_o the_o servant_n as_o for_o the_o master_n there_o be_v neither_o bond_n nor_o free_a there_o be_v as_o free_a access_n for_o the_o servant_n to_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o for_o the_o master_n second_o he_o will_v commend_v thus_o much_o to_o they_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n that_o it_o belong_v to_o every_o one_o that_o be_v above_o in_o superior_a place_n to_o look_v to_o those_o that_o be_v under_o they_o it_o be_v that_o testimony_n that_o solomon_n give_v to_o a_o virtuous_a matron_n prov._n 31._o she_o provide_v

commendation_n of_o joshuahs_n resolution_n i_o and_o my_o house_n will_v serve_v the_o lord_n that_o be_v the_o testimony_n that_o god_n give_v of_o abraham_n that_o he_o will_v instruct_v his_o family_n he_o will_v instruct_v his_o child_n he_o will_v teach_v they_o in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o if_o you_o will_v make_v a_o good_a account_n for_o yourselves_o you_o must_v look_v to_o make_v some_o account_n for_o your_o servant_n and_o your_o child_n that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o our_o bless_a saviour_n care_n manifest_v itself_o so_o much_o for_o his_o disciple_n he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o all_o that_o he_o preach_v to_o and_o teach_v but_o a_o more_o especlall_a care_n of_o they_o there_o be_v never_o hen_n so_o gather_v her_o chicken_n as_o he_o cluck_v his_o

he_o shall_v have_v respect_n to_o they_o to_o instruct_v they_o by_o precept_n and_o by_o example_n and_o so_o he_o do_v he_o do_v publish_v parable_n to_o all_o but_o he_o do_v expound_v they_o to_o
