of_o you_o that_o you_o have_v be_v please_v to_o be_v constant_a hearer_n here_o will_v lay_v a_o law_n on_o yourselves_o that_o so_o much_o time_n as_o you_o former_o spend_v in_o come_v hither_o

that_o you_o will_v every_o one_o of_o you_o that_o be_v head●_n of_o family_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o instruct_v and_o teach_v your_o family_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o this_o by_o how_o much_o the_o less_o be_v do_v in_o public_a read_v the_o word_n in_o your_o family_n and_o catechise_v your_o family_n and_o see_v that_o they_o may_v understand_v they_o you_o have_v many_o help_n for_o this_o as_o mr._n perkins_n mr._n ball_n and_o the_o assembly_n catechise_v 8._o and_o the_o last_o advice_n i_o have_v to_o give_v you_o be_v this_o that_o you_o will_v still_o continue_v your_o reverence_n of_o and_o love_n to_o and_o care_n for_o the_o observe_n of_o the_o lord_n holy_a sabbath_n it_o be_v that_o my_o brethren_n wherein_o god_n have_v be_v honour_v in_o this_o town_n and_o in_o these_o part_n i_o think_v as_o much_o as_o in_o most_o place_n in_o the_o world_n and_o i_o pray_v do_v so_o still_o and_o when_o you_o have_v not_o public_a ordinance_n and_o public_a help_n for_o the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o lord_n day_n at_o home_n in_o your_o own_o congregation_n if_o you_o have_v the_o word_n and_o ordinance_n in_o any_o comfortable_a manner_n abroad_o travel_v for_o it_o i_o say_v travel_v for_o it_o and_o when_o you_o have_v they_o not_o at_o home_n nor_o abroad_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o earnest_a and_o fervent_a and_o abundant_a in_o your_o family_n and_o secret_a duty_n in_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n i_o have_v some_o fear_n lest_o if_o time_n shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o magistrate_n shall_v connive_v at_o the_o profane_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n give_v way_n to_o sport_n and_o recreation_n on_o it_o and_o preacher_n shall_v cry_v down_o the_o strict_a observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o the_o like_a i_o be_o afraid_a we_o have_v many_o youth_n that_o in_o these_o part_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o instruction_n that_o have_v be_v give_v they_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o dance_v after_o these_o pipe_n and_o run_v into_o the_o profane_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o you_o that_o be_v governor_n of_o family_n remember_v the_o charge_n that_o god_n have_v give_v you_o more_o express_o concern_v this_o than_o in_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o i_o know_v of_o thou_o nor_o thy_o son_n nor_o thy_o daughter_n nor_o thy_o manservant_n nor_o thy_o maidservant_n nor_o thy_o cattle_n nor_o thy_o stranger_n that_o be_v within_o thy_o gate_n shall_v thou_o suffer_v to_o violate_v the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n therefore_o know_v your_o authority_n and_o do_v your_o duty_n and_o put_v on_o the_o holy_a resolution_n of_o j●shua_n whatsoever_o other_o do_v i_o and_o my_o house_n will_v serve_v the_o lord_n so_o say_v you_o whatsoever_o other_o do_v i_o and_o i_o

i_o be_o not_o advantage_v to_o speak_v to_o you_o the_o first_o query_n be_v this_o what_o shall_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o man_n make_v such_o opposition_n against_o the_o gospel_n against_o the_o plain_a powerful_a conscientious_a preach_v of_o it_o this_o be_v not_o the_o principal_a thing_n that_o i_o intend_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v only_o touch_v upon_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o 1._o man_n hatred_n and_o opposition_n arise_v against_o the_o gospel_n because_o it_o do_v discover_v their_o hide_a work_n of_o darkness_n joh._n 3._o they_o hate_v the_o light_n lest_o their_o deed_n shall_v be_v remove_v the_o gospel_n bring_v their_o deed_n of_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o this_o stir_v up_o a_o spirit_n of_o hatred_n and_o opposition_n against_o the_o gospel_n 2._o ground_n be_v this_o because_o sinner_n under_o the_o gospel_n can_v sin_v at_o so_o cheap_a a_o rate_n as_o otherwise_o they_o may_v do_v the_o drunkard_n can_v be_v drink_v at_o so_o cheap_a a_o rate_n nor_o can_v the_o opposer_n and_o persecutor_n oppose_v and_o persecute_v at_o so_o cheap_a a_o rate_n as_o they_o may_v do_v where_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o shine_v in_o power_n and_o glory_n 3._o because_o the_o gospel_n put_v person_n upon_o very_o hard_a service_n upon_o very_o difficult_a work_n pull_v out_o a_o right_a eye_n cut_v off_o a_o right_a hand_n offer_v up_o a_o isaac_n throw_v over_o board_n a_o ionas_n part_v with_o bosom_n lust_n and_o darling_n sin_n herod_n hear_v john_n baptist_n glad_o till_o he_o come_v to_o touch_v his_o herodias_n and_o then_o off_o go_v his_o head_n as_o they_o say_v john_n 6._o this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n and_o who_o can_v abide_v it_o and_o from_o that_o time_n they_o walk_v no_o more_o with_o he_o this_o be_v a_o hard_a gospel_n indeed_o and_o at_o this_o their_o blood_n rise_v 4._o because_o of_o the_o differ_v and_o distinguish_v work_n that_o the_o gospel_n make_v among_o the_o son_n of_o man_n it_o soften_v one_o and_o harden_v another_o that_o sit_v next_o to_o he_o enlighten_v one_o and_o strike_v the_o other_o blind_a it_o win_v on_o one_o and_o enrage_v another_o the_o same_o sun_n have_v different_a effect_n on_o the_o object_n on_o which_o it_o shine_v the_o gospel_n put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o precious_a and_o the_o vile_a and_o this_o the_o vile_a can_v bear_v it_o be_v never_o good_a day_n say_v they_o since_o such_o and_o such_o must_v be_v saint_n and_o none_o else_o we_o have_v as_o good_a heart_n as_o any_o and_o this_o enrage_v they_o last_o it_o be_v from_o satan_n satan_n know_v that_o the_o very_a tendency_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o shake_v his_o kingdom_n about_o his_o ear_n satan_n and_o antichrist_n know_v that_o their_o kingdom_n must_v down_o by_o the_o power_n and_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o satan_n and_o man_n of_o a_o antichristian_a spirit_n do_v all_o they_o can_v to_o oppose_v and_o show_v their_o hatred_n against_o the_o everlasting_a gospel_n and_o this_o make_v they_o to_o be_v in_o such_o a_o rage_n against_o the_o gospel_n quer._n 2._o when_o the_o gospel_n go_v from_o a_o people_n what_o go_v i_o shall_v give_v
