themselves_o will_v give_v they_o a_o good_a report_n you_o read_v of_o the_o sepulcher_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o the_o pharisee_n garnish_v when_o they_o be_v alive_a they_o persecute_v they_o but_o after_o their_o death_n they_o garnish_v and_o adorn_v their_o sepulcher_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v a_o dead_a prophet_n be_v common_o the_o only_a praise_v prophet_n by_o a_o wicked_a man_n when_o live_v he_o reprove_v and_o roar_v against_o a_o wicked_a man_n sin_n out_o of_o the_o pulpit_n then_o how_o do_v the_o wicked_a scorn_v he_o and_o scoff_n at_o he_o but_o when_o a_o faithful_a minister_n be_v go_v and_o the_o sinner_n see_v he_o quiet_a and_o hear_v he_o say_v nothing_o against_o his_o impiety_n for_o fashion-sake_n at_o least_o he_o will_v give_v he_o the_o good_a word_n of_o the_o age_n and_o country_n when_o sampsons_n lion_n be_v alive_a and_o roar_v upon_o he_o sampson_z rent_n and_o tear_n he_o but_o when_o the_o lion_n be_v dead_a than_o samson_n take_v hony_n

the_o glow-worm_n to_o give_v it_o light_n nor_o do_v god_n need_v the_o minister_n god_n do_v nothing_o with_o mean_n but_o he_o can_v do_v the_o same_o without_o they_o there_o be_v light_a before_o there_o be_v a_o sun_n 5._o as_o prophet_n they_o must_v die_v for_o they_o be_v to_o receive_v a_o prophet_n reward_n a_o crown_n of_o glory_n that_o fade_v not_o away_o as_o the_o apostle_n

the_o lord_n say_v the_o prophet_n they_o be_v a_o sweet_a savour_n unto_o god_n in_o they_o that_o perish_v their_o labour_n for_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o be_v recompense_v by_o their_o enjoyment_n

and_o though_o he_o give_v it_o he_o reward_v it_o after_o he_o have_v give_v the_o strength_n and_o the_o heart_n to_o use_v it_o 6._o as_o prophet_n they_o die_v because_o god_n will_v often_o have_v they_o preach_v by_o their_o death_n whether_o violent_a or_o natural_a i_o admire_a doctor_n seaman_n more_o in_o a_o sick-chamber_n and_o on_o a_o deathbed_n than_o ever_o i_o do_v in_o the_o

remember_v not_o that_o by_o any_o gesture_n or_o groan_n he_o express_v any_o dislike_n of_o god_n deal_n god_n will_v break_v the_o box_n of_o a_o godly_a minister_n body_n that_o so_o the_o fragrant_a perfume_n of_o his_o ointment_n his_o grace_n and_o faith_n may_v breathe_v out_o when_o the_o box_n be_v break_v i_o add_v 7._o they_o must_v die_v as_o prophet_n and_o minister_n because_o often_o the_o labour_n of_o their_o ministry_n shorten_v their_o day_n they_o spend_v their_o oil_n in_o give_v you_o light_a like_o cloud_n they_o dissolve_v themselves_o by_o drop_v upon_o
