tongue_n and_o to_o that_o same_o purpose_n 2._o that_o holy_a ghost_n come_v down_o upon_o the_o apostle_n in_o fiery_a tongue_n &_o it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o one_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o other_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o they_o both_o teach_v we_o thus_o much_o that_o all_o true_a and_o able_a minister_n must_v pray_v and_o endeavour_n to_o have_v a_o tongue_n full_a of_o power_n and_o force_n even_o like_o fire_n to_o eat_v up_o the_o sin_n and_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n for_o though_o it_o be_v a_o worthy_a gift_n of_o god_n to_o speak_v mild_o and_o moderate_o so_o that_o his_o speech_n shall_v fall_v like_o dew_n upon_o the_o grass_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o fiery_a tongue_n that_o beat_v down_o sin_n and_o work_v sound_a grace_n in_o the_o heart_n it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v some_o which_o need_v the_o fiery_a tongue_n this_o show_v apparent_o that_o those_o minister_n never_o have_v their_o lip_n touch_v with_o a_o coal_n from_o god_n altar_n that_o be_v their_o conscience_n never_o touch_v nor_o their_o soul_n season_v with_o the_o sanctify_a grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n which_o sit_v still_o and_o ●ee_o great_a and_o grevous_a stain_n in_o a_o church_n and_o corruption_n in_o a_o state_n and_o can_v be_v content_a never_o to_o reprove_v ●hem_fw-mi as_o though_o minister_n be_v persuader_n only_o and_o not_o reprover_n but_o when_o this_o come_v to_o be_v weigh_v in_o the_o balance_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o not_o the_o please_a tongue_n but_o the_o fiery_a tongue_n be_v the_o principal_a grace_n of_o a_o good_a minister_n but_o to_o go_v further_o whence_o come_v this_o coal_n take_a from_o the_o altar_n this_o coal_n of_o fire_n be_v take_v by_o the_o angel_n from_o the_o altar_n of_o god_n where_o be_v a_o fire_n which_o never_o go_v out_o and_o this_o fire_n be_v that_o that_o come_v from_o heaven_n send_v down_o by_o god_n at_o the_o dedication_n of_o the_o temple_n by_o solomon_n and_o this_o fire_n kindle_v by_o god_n never_o go_v out_o for_o no_o man_n can_v kindle_v the_o like_a but_o all_o other_o be_v count_v strange_a fire_n as_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n try_v in_o woeful_a experience_n when_o they_o will_v needs_o offer_v with_o it_o now_o the_o prophet_n must_v be_v cleanse_v with_o the_o fire_n which_o come_v from_o hea●●n_n 10.1.2_o teach_v we_o that_o the_o minister_n must_v have_v his_o fiery_a tongue_n from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o the_o apostle_n be_v say_v to_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n &_o with_o fire_n 3.11_o a_o fiery_a tongue_n be_v a_o special_a ornament_n of_o a_o minister_n but_o that_o fire_n must_v come_v from_o heaven_n that_o be_v his_o zeal_n must_v be_v a_o godly_a and_o heavenly_a zeal_n but_o he_o that_o have_v a_o rail_n lie_a a_o slanderous_a a_o malicious_a or_o a_o contentious_a tongue_n he_o have_v a_o fiery_a tongue_n indeed_o but_o this_o be_v kindle_v of_o the_o fire_n of_o hell_n as_o saint_n james_n say_v 3.6_o the_o unbridled_a tongue_n be_v a_o world_n of_o wickedness_n and_o defile_v the_o whole_a body_n set_v on_o fire_n the_o whole_a course_n of_o nature_n and_o be_v set_v ●n_n fire_n in_o hell_n so_o then_o a_o spiteful_a and_o malicious_a tongue_n we_o see_v be_v a_o fiery_a tongue_n but_o that_o fire_n be_v take_v from_o hell_n and_o not_o from_o god_n altar_n and_o he_o that_o stand_v up_o to_o preach_v with_o this_o tongue_n god_n will_v never_o suffer_v any_o great_a work_n to_o be_v do_v by_o he_o in_o his_o church_n though_o his_o tongue_n be_v never_o so_o fiery_a and_o his_o speech_n never_o so_o powerful_a as_o therefore_o minister_n must_v abhor_v the_o flatter_a and_o please_a tongue_n and_o must_v have_v a_o fiery_a tongue_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n this_o fire_n must_v be_v from_o god_n altar_n that_o be_v the_o fire_n of_o their_o zeal_n must_v be_v build_v by_o god_n spirit_n and_o not_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o discord_n and_o dissension_n ambitious_a humour_n turbulent_a &_o proud_a humour_n new_a opinion_n private_a quarrel_n all_o these_o nor_o none_o of_o these_o be_v for_o the_o pulpit_n these_o may_v make_v a_o man_n fiery_a tongue_v but_o this_o fire_n be_v never_o take_v from_o god_n altar_n as_o the_o prophet_n be_v this_o fiery_a tongue_n never_o come_v from_o heaven_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v it_o follow_v and_o touch_v my_o lip_n application_n this_o five_o and_o last_o circumstance_n be_v the_o application_n of_o the_o remedy_n the_o coal_n which_o be_v the_o medicine_n be_v apply_v by_o this_o

lip_n here_o the_o angel_n which_o in_o this_o case_n be_v make_v god_n minister_n do_v teach_v all_o god_n minister_n a_o great_a point_n of_o wisdom_n in_o heavenly_a divinity_n namely_o to_o apply_v their_o doctrine_n to_o their_o audience_n in_o such_o manner_n as_o the_o circumstance_n of_o place_n time_n or_o person_n do_v require_v some_o minister_n come_v to_o a_o ignorant_a and_o unhumbled_a people_n and_o teach_v they_o the_o gospel_n which_o never_o know_v the_o law_n here_o the_o fiery_a coal_n be_v use_v but_o the_o lip_n be_v not_o touch_v that_o be_v good_a doctrine_n teach_v but_o not_o well_o apply_v for_o that_o the_o law_n shall_v first_o be_v lay_v to_o their_o conscience_n other_o beat_v all_o upon_o the_o law_n when_o it_o may_v be_v their_o hearer_n be_v a_o people_n sufficient_o cast_v down_o and_o have_v more_o need_n to_o be_v raise_v up_o with_o the_o sweet_a comfort_n of_o the_o gospel_n other_o use_v to_o lay_v open_a the_o nakedness_n of_o

other_o bring_v the_o catechism_n or_o point_n of_o ordinary_a instruction_n into_o the_o court_n where_o y_a e_o duty_n of_o king_n &_o counsellor_n shall_v be_v teach_v in_o all_o plainness_n and_o sincerity_n other_o bring_v their_o new_a opinion_n or_o controversall_a point_n unto_o popular_a audience_n which_o indeed_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o school_n other_o busy_v themselves_o about_o

pollute_a lip_n let_v all_o minister_n therefore_o learn_v this_o point_n of_o wisdom_n of_o the_o angel_n to_o apply_v the_o medicine_n of_o their_o doctrine_n to_o the_o time_n person_n and_o place_n which_o be_v infect_v so_o shall_v they_o be_v sure_a not_o to_o take_v pain_n in_o vain_a and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o circumstance_n of_o his_o consolation_n it_o follow_v in_o the_o text_n consolation_n loe_o thy_o iniquity_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o and_o thy_o sin_n shall_v be_v purge_v after_o the_o circumstance_n follow_v the_o ground_n and_o matter_n of_o his_o consolation_n and_o that_o be_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o his_o sin_n where_o first_o let_v we_o mark_v how_o it_o and_o the_o instrument_n be_v annex_v together_o loe_o say_v the_o angel_n this_o coal_n have_v touch_v thy_o lip_n and_o thy_o iniquity_n shall_v be_v forgive_v and_o thy_o sin_n purge_v as_o though_o he_o have_v be_v cleanse_v by_o the_o coal_n where_o we_o may_v note_v how_o

but_o from_o his_o own_o mercy_n and_o power_n of_o his_o ordinance_n it_o be_v therefore_o no_o marvel_n though_o god_n sanctify_v the_o child_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o water_n in_o baptism_n and_o feed_v our_o soul_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n by_o feed_v our_o body_n with_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o no_o marvel_n though_o the_o careless_a neglect_n of_o either_o of_o they_o be_v
