to_o be_v employ_v in_o this_o call_n shall_v walk_v in_o a_o great_a carefulness_n &_o fear_n of_o god_n second_o this_o may_v put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o great_a difficulty_n of_o this_o

gross_a sin_n as_o theft_n murder_n whoredom_n or_o such_o like_a second_o that_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o measurable_a knowledge_n in_o the_o scripture_n as_o well_o to_o be_v able_a to_o expound_v the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o the_o people_n as_o to_o defend_v the_o same_o against_o the_o gainsayer_n &_o to_o this_o end_n those_o that_o desire_v this_o charge_n must_v not_o think_v that_o it_o be_v such_o a_o dignity_n wherein_o they_o must_v receive_v nothing_o but_o honour_n but_o rather_o a_o burdensome_a charge_n in_o which_o they_o must_v not_o be_v idle_a but_o vigilant_a &_o laborious_a to_o have_v their_o hand_n always_o upon_o the_o plough_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o a_o common_a proverb_n that_o by_o a_o continual_a travail_n that_o thing_n may_v be_v attain_v which_o be_v requisite_a and_o necessary_a for_o the_o discharge_n thereof_o these_o two_o point_n may_v very_o fit_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o s._n paul_n difficulty_n 1._o tit._n 3_o under_o the_o word_n excellency_n or_o dignity_n be_v comprehend_v all_o those_o notable_a title_n with_o which_o the_o scripture_n do_v set_v forth_o the_o ministry_n under_o the_o word_n hard_o all_o difficulty_n see_v that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o that_o desire_v the_o office_n of_o a_o bishop_n desire_v a_o good_a work_n which_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o he_o desire_v also_o a_o work_n that_o be_v painful_a &_o full_a of_o trouble_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o we_o common_o say_v that_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v rare_a &_o excellent_a be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n hard_a to_o attain_v unto_o cicero_n in_o his_o first_o book_n of_o office_n will_v signify_v no_o other_o thing_n when_o he_o say_v the_o more_o that_o any_o thing_n be_v hard_a the_o more_o it_o be_v excellent_a and_o in_o another_o place_n where_o he_o say_v that_o nature_n herself_o have_v enwrap_v great_a thing_n within_o great_a difficulty_n but_o to_o understand_v these_o two_o point_n more_o easy_o under_o each_o of_o they_o we_o comprehend_v all_o that_o which_o the_o scripture_n set_v down_o touch_v dignity_n and_o labour_n that_o be_v under_o the_o name_n of_o dignity_n we_o understand_v all_o those_o excellent_a title_n with_o which_o pastor_n be_v adorn_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o which_o title_n appertain_v in_o ancient_a time_n to_o the_o prophet_n priest_n and_o apostle_n not_o that_o it_o be_v our_o meaning_n to_o say_v that_o in_o all_o thing_n pastor_n be_v like_a unto_o prophet_n priest_n and_o apostle_n without_o any_o exception_n we_o reserve_v unto_o they_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a and_o peculiar_a unto_o themselves_o and_o which_o can_v be_v give_v unto_o they_o which_o now_o preach_v the_o word_n as_o to_o the_o prophet_n to_o tell_v of_o thing_n to_o come_v the_o which_o god_n by_o a_o especial_a privilege_n have_v reveal_v unto_o they_o by_o a_o wonderful_a manner_n unto_o priest_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n and_o to_o perform_v other_o ceremony_n which_o be_v command_v in_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o apostle_n to_o be_v send_v hither_o and_o thither_o into_o many_o place_n to_o make_v plain_a the_o will_n of_o their_o master_n and_o to_o do_v miracle_n as_o they_o do_v both_o for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o truth_n but_o we_o do_v only_o attribute_v to_o the_o pastor_n that_o be_v now_o all_o those_o excellent_a title_n which_o do_v commend_v their_o ministry_n because_o they_o be_v their_o successor_n in_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o same_o word_n which_o also_o appertain_v unto_o they_o by_o right_a because_o that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v honour_v they_o with_o the_o same_o title_n in_o many_o place_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o their_o place_n that_o under_o dignity_n and_o excellency_n we_o put_v that_o they_o be_v call_v mimister_n of_o god_n servant_n of_o god_n &_o of_o jesus_n christ_n prophet_n man_n of_o god_n seer_n apostle_n evangelist_n doctor_n planter_n

title_n we_o put_v one_o after_o the_o other_o as_o they_o be_v more_o or_o less_o significant_a and_o we_o will_v moreover_o in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o exhortation_n expound_v every_o title_n as_o well_o as_o we_o can_v the_o better_a to_o stir_v up_o all_o those_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o their_o duty_n which_o bear_v affection_n to_o the_o holy_a ministry_n also_o under_o difficulty_n we_o comprehend_v the_o great_a travail_n and_o diligence_n which_o must_v be_v employ_v in_o that_o study_n to_o do_v best_a good_a in_o their_o charge_n with_o most_o edify_v also_o all_o those_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n which_o they_o usual_o suffer_v that_o be_v injury_n railing_n reproach_n danger_n unto_o which_o they_o be_v often_o subject_a during_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o their_o call_n let_v we_o speak_v then_o now_o of_o these_o two_o point_n according_a to_o order_n that_o be_v as_o saint_n paul_n teach_v 3_o 1_o tim._n 3_o that_o it_o be_v a_o worthy_a work_n when_o he_o speak_v thereof_o he_o make_v a_o little_a preface_n to_o make_v they_o more_o attentive_a to_o who_o he_o write_v this_o epistle_n that_o they_o may_v the_o rather_o consider_v that_o he_o intreat_v there_o not_o of_o a_o ordinary_a or_o common_a matter_n but_o of_o a_o grave_n and_o serious_a thing_n as_o great_a can_v be_v imagine_v this_o be_v that_o which_o he_o touch_v in_o many_o of_o his_o epistle_n that_o always_o when_o he_o enter_v into_o a_o matter_n of_o great_a consequence_n to_o make_v the_o faithful_a to_o know_v that_o they_o shall_v deep_o consider_v that_o thing_n which_o he_o show_v they_o as_o in_o the_o same_o epistle_n teach_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o saviour_n and_o redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n before_o he_o say_v it_o he_o use_v this_o introduction_n this_o be_v a_o true_a say_n and_o by_o all_o mean_v worthy_a to_o be_v receive_v that_o christ_n jesus_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n of_o which_o i_o be_o chief_a also_o in_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o the_o same_o epistle_n have_v say_v that_o godliness_n be_v profitable_a for_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o it_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o this_o life_n present_a and_o of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v he_o add_v the_o better_a to_o persuade_v that_o this_o be_v a_o true_a say_n and_o by_o all_o mean_v worthy_a to_o be_v receive_v that_o be_v that_o godliness_n have_v the_o promise_n both_o of_o this_o &_o of_o that_o other_o life_n 2_o 2._o tim._n 2_o also_o in_o the_o 2._o timoth._n 2._o speak_v of_o suffer_v affliction_n for_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o that_o he_o himself_o suffer_v all_o thing_n for_o the_o elect_a sake_n that_o they_o may_v also_o obtain_v the_o salvation_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n with_o eternal_a glory_n he_o add_v this_o be_v a_o true_a say_n for_o if_o we_o be_v dead_a with_o he_o we_o shall_v also_o live_v with_o he_o and_o in_o many_o other_o place_n he_o use_v the_o same_o manner_n of_o teach_v the_o which_o be_v very_o profitable_a principal_o for_o this_o reason_n rhat_o when_o we_o will_v marvellous_o move_v any_o body_n then_o when_o we_o teach_v they_o some_o point_n of_o doctrine_n worthy_a the_o mark_v and_o necessary_a to_o be_v use_v for_o diverse_a use_n if_o we_o use_v after_o this_o manner_n a_o certain_a gentle_a insinuation_n we_o profit_v much_o more_o than_o when_o we_o enter_v present_o to_o the_o unfolding_n of_o the_o doctrine_n without_o any_o form_n of_o preparation_n as_o if_o we_o handle_v any_o common_a matter_n therefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o see_v that_o saint_n paul_n enter_v into_o the_o discourse_n of_o this_o call_n so_o worthy_a and_o excellent_a do_v make_v a_o notable_a preface_n to_o note_v as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o way_n the_o dignity_n and_o beauty_n of_o the_o same_o that_o all_o they_o in_o who_o god_n have_v graft_v this_o holy_a desire_n to_o dedicate_v themselves_o into_o it_o shall_v think_v and_o think_v again_o in_o themselves_o what_o they_o take_v in_o hand_n i_o mean_v what_o singular_a honour_n god_n do_v offer_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o may_v take_v the_o more_o pain_n in_o prepare_v themselves_o and_o to_o be_v prick_v forward_o thereunto_o that_o they_o daily_o set_v

increase_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n shine_v more_o &_o more_o &_o do_v spread_v itself_o as_o it_o be_v a_o fire_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o they_o that_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o sum_n by_o that_o we_o see_v a_o world_n of_o good_a thing_n beginning_n the_o exposition_n of_o the_o beginning_n that_o be_v a_o spring_n and_o fountain_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o virtue_n for_o which_o many_o study_n which_o be_v cold_a before_o and_o by_o the_o same_o tongue_n they_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o exercise_v of_o they_o and_o keep_v and_o confirm_v more_o and_o more_o in_o their_o duty_n but_o since_o the_o come_n into_o the_o world_n of_o the_o devil_n the_o swear_a enemy_n of_o man_n salvation_n the_o good_a harmony_n of_o our_o affection_n in_o praise_v god_n have_v turn_v by_o his_o malice_n the_o use_n of_o the_o tongue_n to_o all_o mischief_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o in_o steed_n it_o now_o shall_v be_v the_o principal_a instrument_n in_o man_n to_o praise_n god_n and_o to_o give_v glory_n unto_o he_o it_o be_v convert_v quite_o contrary_a to_o offend_v he_o diverse_a way_n that_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o to_o stir_v uppe_o all_o other_o member_n to_o employ_v themselves_o to_o the_o celebration_n of_o his_o divine_a praise_n as_o well_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n with_o the_o chief_a reverence_n and_o of_o our_o brethren_n and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o the_o duty_n of_o charity_n but_o now_o alas_o this_o little_a member_n be_v most_o dangerous_a by_o that_o we_o speak_v evil_a of_o our_o brethren_n backebite_v they_o by_o envy_v their_o virtue_n show_v our_o contempt_n of_o those_o gift_n and_o grace_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v by_o that_o we_o do_v diminish_v as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v their_o estimation_n and_o credit_n and_o make_v all_o man_n know_v that_o we_o have_v our_o heart_n full_a of_o wickedness_n and_o sinister_a affection_n towards_o they_o but_o that_o which_o be_v more_o it_o be_v no_o less_o disorder_v towards_o god_n for_o to_o despite_v he_o as_o much_o as_o man_n may_v for_o by_o this_o we_o dishonour_v he_o speak_v evil_a of_o he_o by_o this_o wicked_a miscreant_n do_v belch_v out_o infinite_a outrage_n &_o execrable_a blasphemy_n against_o his_o sacred_a majesty_n which_o they_o intolerable_o tear_v in_o sunder_o brief_o by_o this_o they_o commit_v a_o multitude_n of_o innumerable_a sin_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o s._n james_n say_v that_o this_o little_a member_n boast_v itself_o of_o great_a thing_n that_o it_o be_v a_o fire_n which_o kindle_v a_o forest_n that_o it_o be_v a_o world_n of_o wickedness_n by_o which_o word_n he_o will_v signify_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o from_o the_o slander_v and_o intemperancy_n of_o the_o tongue_n many_o mischief_n arise_v when_o the_o bridle_n be_v let_v loose_a division_n the_o division_n but_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o we_o must_v observe_v two_o point_n the_o first_o be_v that_o by_o nature_n we_o all_o be_v subject_a to_o this_o evil_a and_o detraction_n of_o the_o tongue_n second_o that_o be_v all_o subject_n hereunto_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o flatter_a of_o ourselves_o but_o rather_o with_o might_n and_o main_a avoid_v the_o same_o and_o the_o better_a to_o fly_v from_o it_o part_n the_o amplification_n of_o the_o first_o part_n to_o consider_v the_o horrible_a mischief_n which_o come_v from_o it_o concern_v the_o first_o part_n we_o must_v consider_v that_o all_o in_o general_n have_v this_o vice_n so_o deep_o root_v in_o our_o bowel_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o abstain_v from_o the_o same_o altogether_o we_o be_v so_o deprave_a in_o all_o our_o affection_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o saint_n paul_n say_v lively_o point_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n 3_o rom._n 3_o and_o show_v how_o it_o be_v corrupt_v in_o itself_o there_o be_v none_o righteous_a no_o not_o one_o there_o be_v none_o that_o understand_v there_o be_v none_o that_o seek_v god_n they_o have_v all_o go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n they_o have_v be_v make_v altogether_o unprofitable_a there_o be_v none_o that_o do_v good_a no_o not_o one_o their_o throat_n be_v a_o open_a sepulchre_n they_o have_v use_v their_o tongue_n to_o deceit_n the_o poison_n of_o asp_n be_v under_o their_o

tongue_n and_o although_o he_o speak_v principal_o of_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n after_o the_o sin_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n he_o may_v also_o very_o easy_o speak_v of_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o corruption_n which_o remain_v after_o our_o regeneration_n and_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o because_o the_o great_a servant_n of_o god_n do_v ordinary_o complain_v of_o this_o evil_a to_o which_o they_o be_v so_o addict_v that_o they_o can_v refrain_v themselves_o without_o a_o great_a combat_n and_o violence_n offer_v to_o their_o nature_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n david_n which_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o man_n after_o god_n heart_n strive_v against_o this_o vice_n although_o he_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o patient_a that_o ever_o be_v in_o

for_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o word_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o christ_n have_v say_v whosoever_o honour_v you_o honour_v i_o etc._n etc._n in_o this_o world_n when_o we_o be_v honour_v of_o king_n and_o prince_n and_o great_a lord_n we_o make_v more_o account_n of_o that_o honour_n then_o of_o that_o which_o we_o receive_v from_o those_o that_o be_v inferior_n because_o that_o the_o great_a that_o they_o be_v that_o honour_v we_o so_o ought_v their_o honour_n to_o be_v prise_v and_o value_v see_v then_o god_n do_v so_o honour_v minister_n and_o their_o ministry_n that_o he_o attribute_v that_o honour_n unto_o they_o which_o be_v give_v unto_o himself_o wherefore_o do_v thou_o that_o be_v a_o pastor_n take_v care_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o man_n and_o if_o thou_o do_v add_v hereunto_o those_o honourable_a title_n which_o be_v give_v unto_o faithful_a pastor_n thou_o will_v make_v less_o account_n of_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o world_n and_o esteem_v more_o the_o incomparable_a honour_n of_o the_o ministry_n but_o if_o any_o other_o shall_v object_v that_o therefore_o he_o be_v discourage_v because_o that_o the_o minister_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v poor_a needy_a and_o in_o misery_n we_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v the_o objection_n of_o a_o covetous_a man_n covetous_a a_o confutation_n of_o the_o objection_n of_o the_o covetous_a and_o to_o correct_v this_o vice_n of_o covetousness_n consider_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o they_o that_o have_v more_o mean_n to_o live_v by_o than_o other_o yet_o they_o also_o be_v poor_a and_o further_o that_o poverty_n be_v no_o vice_n but_o that_o it_o be_v as_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n of_o itself_o as_o riches_n when_o as_o well_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o do_v come_v from_o god_n if_o they_o be_v use_v as_o they_o ought_v second_o think_v with_o thyself_o that_o there_o be_v at_o this_o day_n almost_o no_o man_n which_o be_v addict_v to_o any_o other_o study_n as_o to_o any_o art_n mechanic_n who_o do_v find_v more_o easy_o honest_a condition_n to_o live_v than_o those_o that_o have_v give_v themselves_o to_o the_o study_n of_o divinity_n as_o we_o have_v see_v within_o this_o seven_o or_o eight_o year_n that_o many_o physician_n lawyer_n advocate_n proctor_n notary_n many_o merchant_n many_o great_a lord_n and_o gentleman_n be_v go_v out_o of_o

consider_v that_o if_o they_o have_v not_o such_o good_n and_o richesse_n as_o many_o merchant_n artificer_n and_o other_o man_n of_o trade_n in_o this_o world_n that_o god_n have_v give_v unto_o they_o a_o content_a life_n which_o be_v accompany_v with_o godliness_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o the_o four_o place_n thou_o must_v meditate_v that_o ggd_n be_v the_o plentiful_a rewarder_n of_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n and_o thou_o must_v think_v upon_o all_o those_o excellent_a promise_n of_o god_n which_o he_o make_v in_o his_o word_n to_o nourish_v all_o live_a creature_n for_o if_o he_o feed_v the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n he_o will_v much_o more_o nourish_v man_n and_o if_o he_o nourish_v all_o man_n much_o more_o the_o faithful_a and_o principal_o those_o who_o he_o have_v appoint_v for_o the_o teach_n and_o lead_v of_o they_o to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o this_o point_n set_v before_o thy_o eye_n that_o if_o they_o abound_v not_o in_o temporal_a and_o earthly_a good_n yet_o they_o be_v scotfree_a in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o the_o understanding_n and_o reveal_v of_o his_o secret_n which_o be_v the_o true_a riches_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o see_v that_o those_o be_v the_o true_a riches_n consider_v that_o the_o more_o thou_o abounde_v with_o they_o the_o more_o thou_o be_v true_o rich_a for_o these_o riches_n will_v bring_v unto_o thou_o so_o much_o joy_n and_o gladness_n as_o the_o corporal_a and_o worldly_a good_n do_v bring_v unto_o they_o that_o possess_v they_o grief_n and_o care_n and_o so_o enjoy_v these_o true_a and_o sincere_a spiritual_a rithe_n why_o do_v thou_o take_v such_o thought_n for_o the_o riches_n of_o this_o world_n if_o another_o do_v reply_n pleasure_n a_o confutation_n of_o those_o that_o love_n pleasure_n that_o his_o heart_n be_v pull_v down_o because_o that_o minister_n be_v ordinary_o sorrowful_a pensive_a full_a of_o care_n and_o melancholy_n i_o may_v demand_n of_o he_o why_o be_v they_o more_o than_o other_o man_n these_o be_v vain_a and_o imaginary_a fancy_n forge_v in_o the_o brain_n of_o i_o know_v not_o what_o worldly_a man_n for_o they_o be_v as_o joyful_a as_o

do_v not_o hinder_v they_o but_o that_o they_o may_v use_v a_o moderate_a joy_n and_o agreeable_a to_o their_o vocation_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a this_o joy_n do_v bring_v more_o contentation_n as_o it_o differ_v from_o the_o rejoice_v of_o the_o profane_a seneca_n say_v in_o a_o certain_a place_n that_o we_o must_v govern_v ourselves_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o none_o may_v think_v we_o

may_v be_v answer_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o use_v they_o as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o patriarch_n prophet_n apostle_n and_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o who_o be_v present_a at_o a_o
