field_n at_o eventide_n introduction_n it_o be_v not_o unknown_a unto_o you_o i_o suppose_v that_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n require_v by_o god_n of_o all_o those_o that_o will_v receive_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o one_o be_v preparation_n before_o they_o come_v and_o the_o other_o be_v meditation_n when_o they_o be_v come_v i_o have_v make_v many_o and_o many_o a_o sermon_n of_o preparation_n but_o i_o have_v make_v very_o few_o of_o meditation_n now_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o meditate_a ordinance_n as_o i_o may_v so_o express_v myself_o it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n for_o meditation_n and_o the_o great_a work_n that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v at_o the_o sacrament_n be_v to_o meditate_v upon_o christ_n crucify_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v crave_v leave_n to_o make_v you_o a_o few_o sermon_n concern_v this_o rare_a and_o excellent_a doctrine_n of_o meditation_n and_o for_o this_o purpose_n i_o have_v choose_v this_o text_n wherein_o we_o have_v four_o particular_n 1._o we_o have_v the_o person_n that_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o and_o that_o be_v isaac_n the_o godly_a child_n of_o godly_a abraham_n 2._o what_o be_v here_o relate_v of_o this_o person_n he_o go_v out_o to_o meditate_v 3._o the_o place_n that_o he_o choose_v for_o his_o meditation_n and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o field_n he_o go_v out_o into_o the_o field_n to_o meditate_v 4._o the_o time_n that_o he_o choose_v to_o meditate_v in_o and_o that_o be_v the_o evening_n and_o isaac_n go_v out_o to_o meditate_v in_o the_o field_n at_o the_o eventide_n the_o great_a question_n for_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o text_n will_v be_v what_o the_o subject_n of_o isaac_n meditation_n be_v what_o do_v isaac_n go_v out_o to_o meditate_v upon_o now_o for_o this_o you_o must_v know_v there_o be_v a_o double_a meditation_n there_o be_v a_o meditation_n that_o be_v sinful_a and_o wicked_a and_o there_o be_v a_o meditation_n that_o be_v holy_a and_o godly_a 1._o there_o be_v a_o meditation_n that_o be_v sinful_a and_o wicked_a and_o that_o be_v when_o we_o meditate_v upon_o thing_n that_o be_v wicked_a of_o this_o you_o shall_v read_v psal._n 36._o 4._o he_o devise_v mischief_n upon_o his_o bed_n and_o psal._n 7._o 14._o behold_v he_o travel_v with_o iniquity_n and_o have_v conceive_v mischief_n there_o be_v wicked_a meditation_n as_o well_o as_o wicked_a conversation_n and_o a_o man_n may_v go_v to_o hell_n for_o plot_v wicked_a thing_n as_o well_o as_o for_o practise_v wicked_a thing_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v prov._n 12._o 2._o a_o man_n of_o wicked_a device_n will_v god_n condemn_v not_o only_o a_o man_n of_o wicked_a practice_n but_o a_o man_n of_o wicked_a device_n will_v he_o condemn_v there_o be_v a_o contemplative_a wickedness_n as_o well_o as_o a_o actual_a wickedness_n and_o a_o man_n may_v go_v to_o hell_n for_o contemplative_a wickedness_n as_o for_o example_n there_o be_v a_o contemplative_a murder_n when_o a_o man_n do_v delight_n in_o the_o thought_n of_o murder_a his_o brother_n when_o the_o thought_n of_o revenge_n be_v please_v and_o there_o be_v a_o contemplative_a adultery_n when_o a_o man_n do_v plot_n how_o to_o commit_v adultery_n and_o delight_n in_o the_o thought_n of_o adultery_n now_o isaac_n meditation_n certain_o be_v not_o of_o thing_n that_o be_v wicked_a he_o do_v not_o go_v out_o into_o the_o field_n to_o meditate_v upon_o vile_a and_o wicked_a thing_n 2._o there_o be_v a_o meditation_n that_o be_v holy_a and_o godly_a and_o that_o be_v when_o we_o meditate_v upon_o thing_n that_o be_v holy_a and_o heavenly_a and_o of_o this_o nature_n be_v the_o meditation_n of_o isaac_n he_o go_v out_o into_o the_o field_n to_o meditate_v on_o the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o blessing_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o meditate_v upon_o the_o heavenly_a canaan_n and_o upon_o his_o sin_n and_o this_o appear_v because_o the_o hebrew_n word_n that_o be_v here_o use_v for_o meditation_n that_o be_v here_o translate_a meditation_n do_v also_o signify_v to_o pray_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v in_o your_o margin_n and_o isaac_n go_v out_o to_o pray_v at_o eventide_n it_o be_v a_o religious_a work_n that_o isaac_n go_v out_o about_o and_o you_o must_v know_v that_o prayer_n and_o meditation_n be_v very_o well_o join_v together_o meditation_n be_v a_o preparation_n to_o prayer_n and_o prayer_n be_v a_o fit_a close_a for_o meditation_n and_o isaac_n go_v out_o to_o meditate_v to_o pray_v and_o to_o meditate_v and_o to_o meditate_v and_o pray_v this_o meditation_n be_v a_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a act_n of_o isaac_n so_o then_o the_o observation_n i_o shall_v gather_v be_v this_o obseru._n that_o the_o meditation_n of_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n be_v a_o work_n that_o god_n require_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o people_n that_o god_n that_o require_v you_o to_o pray_v require_v you_o to_o meditate_v as_o well_o as_o pray_v there_o be_v few_o christian_n believe_v this_o doctrine_n that_o god_n that_o require_v you_o to_o hear_v sermon_n require_v you_o to_o meditate_v on_o the_o sermon_n you_o hear_v 1._o god_n require_v this_o of_o you_o that_o be_v young_a gentleman_n and_o therefore_o here_o you_o read_v of_o isaac_n that_o he_o go_v out_o to_o meditate_v now_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o isaac_n at_o this_o time_n be_v forty_o year_n old_a yet_o in_o those_o day_n to_o be_v of_o forty_o year_n be_v to_o be_v but_o a_o young_a man_n for_o isaac_n live_v a_o hundred_o and_o fourscore_o year_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o notable_a pattern_n for_o young_a gentleman_n to_o employ_v their_o time_n in_o godly_a and_o holy_a meditation_n 2._o this_o be_v a_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v of_o king_n of_o noble_n and_o of_o great_a person_n and_o therefore_o david_n though_o he_o be_v a_o king_n and_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o work_n and_o business_n yet_o he_o say_v of_o himself_o psal._n 119._o 15._o i_o will_v meditate_v in_o thy_o precept_n v_o 23._o prince_n also_o do_v sit_v and_o speak_v against_o i_o but_o thy_o servant_n do_v meditate_v in_o thy_o statute_n v_o 48._o i_o will_v meditate_v in_o thy_o statute_n 3._o this_o be_v a_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o soldier_n and_o general_n and_o captain_n josh._n 1._o 8._o there_o god_n speak_v unto_o joshua_n this_o book_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v not_o depart_v out_o of_o thy_o mouth_n but_o thou_o shall_v meditate_v therein_o day_n and_o night_n that_o thou_o may_v observe_v to_o do_v according_a to_o all_o that_o be_v write_v therein_o for_o than_o thou_o shall_v make_v thy_o way_n prosperous_a and_o then_o thou_o shall_v have_v good_a success_n 4._o it_o be_v a_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v of_o all_o learned_a man_n and_o of_o all_o that_o be_v scholar_n 1_o tim._n 4._o 15._o give_v attendance_n to_o read_v and_o exhortation_n and_o meditate_v upon_o these_o thing_n give_v thyself_o whole_o unto_o they_o 5._o this_o be_v a_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v of_o woman_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v of_o mary_n luk._n 2._o 19_o she_o keep_v all_o these_o say_n and_o ponder_v they_o in_o her_o heart_n v_o 51._o but_o his_o mother_n keep_v all_o these_o say_n in_o her_o heart_n that_o be_v she_o meditate_a upon_o they_o in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v a_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v of_o all_o that_o look_v for_o blessedness_n psal._n 1._o 1._o bless_a be_v the_o man_n that_o walk_v not_o in_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o ungodly_a nor_o stand_v in_o the_o way_n of_o sinner_n nor_o sit_v in_o the_o seat_n of_o the_o scornful_a but_o his_o delight_n be_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o his_o law_n do_v he_o meditate_v day_n and_o night_n now_o you_o must_v know_v there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o divine_a meditation_n there_o be_v a_o sudden_a short_a occasional_a meditation_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o there_o be_v a_o solemn_a set_v deliberate_a meditation_n i_o shall_v crave_v leave_n to_o speak_v something_o concern_v the_o first_o sort_n of_o meditation_n which_o i_o call_v sudden_a and_o ejaculatory_a extemporary_a and_o occasional_a meditation_n and_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o three_o thing_n concern_v this_o 1._o i_o will_v show_v you_o what_o this_o ejaculatory_a and_o extemporary_a meditation_n of_o divine_a thing_n be_v and_o the_o excellency_n of_o it_o 2._o i_o will_v give_v you_o some_o example_n of_o it_o 3._o i_o will_v give_v you_o some_o motive_n to_o persuade_v you_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o 1._o i_o will_v discover_v to_o you_o what_o i_o mean_v by_o that_o i_o call_v occasional_a and_o extemporary_a sudden_a and_o ejaculatory_a meditation_n occasional_a meditation_n be_v this_o when_o a_o man_n take_v a_o occasion_n by_o what_o he_o see_v or_o by_o what_o he_o hear_v or_o by_o what_o

contrivance_n and_o vain_a project_n though_o they_o prove_v abortive_a 2._o there_o be_v some_o that_o meditate_v upon_o the_o evil_n they_o have_v do_v as_o a_o old_a adulterer_n will_v with_o delight_n tell_v story_n of_o his_o youthful_a wantonness_n and_o a_o old_a wicked_a man_n will_v delight_v to_o tell_v tale_n of_o the_o sin_n that_o he_o have_v former_o commit_v this_o be_v to_o

may_v go_v to_o hell_n for_o contemplative_a wickedness_n for_o spiritual_a wickedness_n for_o heart-adultery_n and_o heart-murder_n as_o well_o as_o for_o actual_a wickedness_n a_o man_n may_v go_v to_o hell_n for_o think_v evil_a as_o well_o as_o for_o speak_v evil_a and_o do_v evil_n for_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o he_o look_v into_o the_o frame_n of_o your_o spirit_n and_o he_o will_v send_v you_o to_o hell_n for_o the_o inward_a lust_n of_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o act_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o man_n that_o repeat_v over_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o youth_n with_o delight_n this_o man_n act_v they_o over_o again_o in_o god_n account_n but_o i_o will_v not_o spend_v more_o time_n in_o the_o use_n of_o reprehension_n but_o i_o come_v to_o that_o which_o i_o especial_o aim_v at_o a_o use_n of_o exhortation_n to_o beseech_v you_o all_o that_o you_o will_v subscribe_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o this_o text_n that_o you_o will_v conform_v yourselves_o to_o this_o text_n that_o you_o will_v accustom_v yourselves_o to_o his_o most_o necessary_a and_o excellent_a and_o long_o neglect_v duty_n of_o divine_a meditation_n let_v i_o with_o all_o earnestness_n commend_v unto_o you_o the_o conscientious_a practice_n of_o this_o duty_n of_o divine_a meditation_n because_o it_o be_v a_o universal_a remedy_n against_o all_o sin_n it_o be_v a_o help_n to_o all_o

to_o meditate_v for_o what_o say_v david_n i_o consider_v my_o way_n and_o turn_v my_o foot_n unto_o thy_o testimony_n what_o make_v peter_n when_o he_o have_v deny_v christ_n repent_v and_o weep_v

for_o you_o to_o practice_v this_o duty_n of_o meditation_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n all_o the_o sermon_n you_o hear_v do_v you_o no_o more_o good_a it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o meditation_n we_o
