constancy_n in_o adhere_v to_o he_o and_o you_o may_v find_v this_o mixture_n in_o a_o double_a degree_n 1._o in_o the_o first_o place_n we_o have_v pray_v for_o he_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v merciful_a to_o his_o household_n the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a to_o the_o house_n of_o onesiphorus_n in_o the_o 16_o verse_n and_o with_o that_o be_v mingle_v 2._o the_o praise_n and_o commendation_n of_o the_o constancy_n and_o fidelity_n of_o onesiphorus_n in_o these_o circumstance_n 1._o his_o charity_n and_o mercy_n to_o paul_n in_o general_a in_o his_o constancy_n to_o he_o in_o affliction_n often_o refresh_v he_o in_o sweeten_v of_o his_o spirit_n and_o cheer_v he_o he_o do_v not_o do_v it_o at_o other_o time_n only_o but_o in_o his_o bond_n he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o his_o bond_n 2._o nay_o more_o than_o so_o there_o be_v yet_o something_o more_o in_o special_a he_o do_v it_o more_o tender_o and_o cheerful_o yea_o and_o more_o careful_o in_o his_o bond_n than_o he_o do_v before_o when_o he_o be_v at_o liberty_n when_o he_o be_v at_o rome_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o 17_o verse_n he_o seek_v he_o out_o very_o diligent_o he_o do_v not_o only_a when_o paul_n meet_v he_o when_o he_o do_v meet_v he_o as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o dish_n and_o then_o give_v he_o a_o cold_a compliment_n and_o salute_v he_o but_o whereas_o he_o may_v have_v decline_v paul_n he_o seek_v he_o out_o very_o diligent_o very_o careful_o hazard_v and_o engage_v himself_o in_o this_o cause_n for_o the_o comfort_n of_o paul_n 2._o then_o there_o be_v a_o second_o set_v of_o it_o out_o for_o the_o apostle_n can_v never_o have_v do_v with_o this_o but_o there_o be_v a_o second_o mixture_n in_o the_o 18_o verse_n there_o be_v again_o 1._o a_o repetition_n of_o prayer_n for_o onesiphorus_n that_o have_v so_o careful_o seek_v he_o out_o and_o never_o leave_v till_o he_o find_v he_o viz._n that_o the_o lord_n will_v grant_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o may_v find_v mercy_n when_o he_o seek_v it_o in_o the_o most_o needful_a time_n in_o the_o great_a day_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o withal_o 2._o there_o be_v again_o a_o repetition_n of_o praise_n for_o he_o can_v take_v off_o his_o hand_n can_v say_v enough_o as_o a_o thankful_a spirit_n and_o a_o ingenuous_a spirit_n will_v not_o let_v fall_v any_o good_a receive_v nor_o keep_v back_o any_o praise_n that_o be_v due_a to_o it_o and_o this_o paul_n express_v in_o the_o very_a last_o clause_n and_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n he_o come_v in_o there_o with_o a_o new_a supply_n of_o praise_n what_o he_o do_v in_o how_o many_o thing_n he_o minister_v to_o i_o at_o ephesus_n thou_o know_v very_o well_o he_o remember_v his_o ancient_a kindness_n and_o make_v mention_n of_o it_o here_o to_o his_o praise_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n though_o a_o man_n have_v no_o other_o reward_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o encourage_v a_o man_n to_o engage_v the_o prayer_n and_o to_o deserve_v the_o praise_n of_o a_o paul_n to_o be_v praise_v by_o paul_n and_o to_o have_v paul_n as_o a_o remembrancer_n at_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n to_o get_v the_o prayer_n of_o those_o that_o be_v faithful_a and_o to_o deserve_v the_o praise_n of_o those_o that_o be_v faithful_a be_v there_o no_o other_o recompense_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v enough_o and_o they_o that_o will_v have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o reward_n of_o a_o martyr_n must_v have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o affliction_n of_o a_o martyr_n however_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o reward_n it_o be_v at_o least_o no_o contemptible_a thing_n to_o be_v pay_v in_o prayer_n to_o be_v pay_v in_o praise_n especial_a from_o such_o as_o be_v as_o paul_n i_o now_o come_v to_o the_o place_n which_o i_o have_v pitch_v upon_o and_o i_o shall_v forbear_v all_o observation_n which_o may_v be_v raise_v out_o of_o the_o context_n and_o pass_v by_o also_o all_o the_o particular_n which_o may_v be_v several_o raise_v and_o that_o natural_o enough_o out_o of_o the_o particular_a word_n of_o the_o text_n there_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n that_o i_o shall_v pitch_v upon_o and_o in_o that_o one_o observation_n take_v occasion_n to_o explain_v so_o much_o of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n as_o may_v be_v any_o way_n needful_a the_o point_n or_o observation_n which_o i_o shall_v commend_v to_o you_o out_o of_o these_o word_n it_o be_v this_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o high_a concernment_n for_o all_o doctrine_n to_o have_v and_o keep_v cautious_o as_o a_o sacred_a depositum_fw-la as_o a_o rich_a treasure_n a_o form_n of_o sound_n and_o wholesome_a word_n especial_o in_o divine_a and_o fundamental_a truth_n that_o shall_v be_v the_o observation_n which_o i_o shall_v only_o propound_v and_o prosecute_v out_o of_o the_o word_n and_o i_o shall_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o propound_v it_o more_o full_o and_o large_o because_o i_o will_v comprehend_v in_o it_o so_o much_o as_o may_v give_v i_o a_o hint_n to_o explicate_v all_o the_o word_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v open_v in_o the_o text_n i_o conceive_v it_o take_v in_o all_o the_o whole_a substance_n and_o scope_n of_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n do_v here_o commend_v to_o timothy_n and_o that_o which_o suit_v very_o well_o with_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o business_n we_o have_v in_o hand_n there_o be_v four_o thing_n which_o i_o shall_v brief_o open_v for_o i_o will_v not_o be_v large_a in_o the_o point_n 1._o the_o object_n of_o the_o duty_n specify_v 2._o the_o act_n of_o that_o duty_n enjoin_v 3._o the_o manner_n of_o

propound_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v go_v no_o further_o for_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o object_n i_o shall_v propound_v it_o in_o a_o more_o general_a and_o in_o a_o more_o particular_a way_n the_o whole_a be_v general_o propound_v and_o particular_o circumscribe_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n propound_v 1._o in_o the_o general_a proposition_n there_o be_v these_o three_o distinct_a branch_n observable_a and_o i_o shall_v give_v but_o a_o brief_a touch_n of_o either_o of_o they_o 1._o word_n 2._o sound_n and_o wholesome_a word_n 3._o a_o form_n of_o sound_n and_o wholesome_a word_n in_o a_o word_n i_o shall_v say_v so_o much_o as_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o meaning_n of_o all_o these_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o word_n what_o be_v mean_n by_o sound_n and_o wholesome_a word_n for_o so_o the_o original_n have_v it_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o
