satan_n have_v a_o fourfold_a dangerous_a policy_n whereby_o to_o rob_v man_n of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o word_n policy_n first_o to_o keep_v man_n from_o have_v the_o word_n preach_v unto_o they_o which_o policy_n of_o satan_n the_o apostle_n descry_v when_o he_o write_v to_o the_o thessalonian_n policy_n that_o at_o the_o least_o once_o or_o twice_o he_o will_v have_v come_v unto_o they_o

of_o the_o word_n yet_o remain_v as_o ignorant_a as_o if_o they_o have_v never_o hear_v at_o all_o or_o if_o he_o can_v herein_o prevail_v then_o have_v he_o a_o three_o policy_n viz._n to_o hinder_v the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o word_n and_o these_o hearer_n our_o saviour_n compare_v to_o the_o highway_n receive_v seed_n 13.19_o and_o thus_o he_o deal_v with_o our_o example_n here_o who_o he_o sift_v as_o he_o do_v daily_o such_o as_o hear_v at_o one_o ear_n and_o let_v it_o go_v out_o at_o the_o other_o nay_o who_o ear_n be_v like_o sieve_n that_o take_v in_o water_n at_o one_o place_n and_o let_v it_o go_v out_o at_o a_o hundred_o and_o this_o please_v the_o devil_n well_o for_o he_o care_v not_o how_o much_o man_n hear_v so_o they_o remember_v nothing_o nay_o to_o choose_v he_o will_v have_v man_n to_o hear_v much_o so_o they_o forget_v all_o that_o so_o they_o may_v stand_v guilty_a before_o god_n for_o that_o which_o they_o have_v hear_v but_o if_o all_o these_o fail_n he_o have_v a_o four_o policy_n policy_n viz._n to_o rob_v man_n of_o their_o faith_n that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o believe_v the_o word_n without_o which_o all_o hear_n know_v and_o remember_v be_v

that_o we_o may_v believe_v his_o word_n for_o if_o we_o hear_v understand_v remember_v and_o believe_v we_o shall_v never_o fall_v but_o if_o we_o care_v neither_o for_o hear_v understand_v

be_v the_o truth_n itself_o for_o he_o tell_v peter_n thou_o shall_v deny_v i_o he_o say_v not_o my_o manhood_n but_o i_o heiron_n christ_n know_v best_o that_o he_o will_v do_v and_o peter_n know_v

to_o pray_v with_o david_n lord_n open_a our_o mouth_n and_o our_o lip_n shall_v show_v forth_o thy_o praise_n 51.15_o but_o of_o peter_n silence_n at_o this_o time_n there_o may_v be_v these_o three_o reason_n render_v silence_n first_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o grief_n which_o be_v such_o as_o stop_v the_o course_n of_o his_o speech_n senec._n now_o to_o remember_v upon_o so_o small_a

he_o can_v not_o possible_o speak_v but_o weep_v reason_n second_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o shame_n for_o his_o sin_n which_o be_v such_o as_o he_o be_v ashamed_a to_o speak_v of_o it_o unto_o god_n or_o man_n but_o it_o be_v no_o shame_n to_o weep_v for_o that_o sin_n which_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n to_o confess_v amb._n wherefore_o peter_n do_v well_o to_o weep_v and_o hold_v his_o peace_n three_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o sin_n require_v great_a intercession_n for_o pardon_n wherefore_o he_o send_v not_o messenger_n of_o ordinary_a nature_n as_o a_o few_o penitent_a word_n i_o have_v sin_v reason_n say_v pharaoh_n and_o saul_n but_o he_o dispatch_v his_o tear_n as_o his_o ambassador_n 7._o that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a before_o the_o cry_n of_o his_o sin_n shall_v be_v hear_v in_o the_o high_a court_n of_o heaven_n his_o tear_n may_v pray_v &_o plead_v for_o pardon_n where_o of_o all_o messenger_n they_o be_v most_o gracious_a be_v as_o one_o say_v cantic_a the_o

of_o the_o almighty_a can_v make_v such_o a_o rattle_a sound_n and_o roar_a noise_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o man_n as_o our_o tear_n do_v in_o the_o ear_n of_o god_n 19_o so_o true_o the_o heathen_a
