perish_v for_o ever_o when_o the_o jew_n go_v to_o stone_n stephen_n they_o lay_v their_o clothes_n down_o at_o a_o distance_n from_o the_o place_n at_o a_o young_a man_n foot_n who_o name_n be_v

a_o way_n of_o suffer_v for_o god_n truth_n against_o it_o we_o shall_v lay_v down_o our_o soul_n at_o the_o foot_n of_o god_n to_o care_n for_o that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v cumber_v with_o the_o

faith_n and_o prayer_n it_o leave_v or_o rather_o bring_v this_o holy_a boldness_n and_o confidence_n into_o the_o soul._n suppose_v a_o man_n in_o the_o country_n be_v necessitate_v to_o go_v to_o

that_o continual_o abide_v therein_o what_o now_o must_v this_o man_n do_v to_o go_v on_o his_o journey_n cheerful_o why_o let_v he_o pay_v in_o his_o money_n to_o such_o a_o one_o in_o the_o

be_v beset_v every_o where_o with_o evil_a angel_n who_o will_v rob_v thou_o of_o thy_o soul_n what_o now_o why_o if_o thou_o will_v go_v cheerful_o on_o in_o thy_o dangerous_a journey_n commit_v thy_o treasure_n thy_o soul_n to_o god_n to_o keep_v and_o then_o thou_o may_v say_v with_o comfort_n well_o that_o care_n be_v over_o for_o whatever_o i_o meet_v with_o in_o my_o way_n thither_o my_o

that_o to_o my_o joy_n and_o everlasting_a comfort_n against_o the_o great_a day_n this_o therefore_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v that_o suffer_v for_o christ_n commit_v the_o keep_n of_o

will_v be_v weaken_v to_o we_o in_o the_o way_n second_o we_o shall_v commit_v the_o keep_n of_o our_o soul_n to_o god_n because_o the_o final_a conclusion_n that_o merciless_a man_n do_v sometime_o make_v with_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n be_v all_o on_o a_o sudden_a they_o give_v no_o warning_n before_o they_o strike_v we_o shall_v not_o need_v here_o to_o call_v you_o to_o mind_n about_o the_o

of_o their_o soul_n to_o he_o in_o well_o do_v as_o unto_o a_o faithful_a creator_n this_o epistle_n be_v write_v to_o saint_n in_o affliction_n special_o those_o of_o the_o circumcision_n for_o who_o this_o peter_n be_v a_o apostle_n and_o it_o be_v write_v to_o they_o to_o counsel_n and_o comfort_v they_o in_o their_o affliction_n to_o counsel_v they_o as_o to_o the_o cause_n for_o which_o they_o be_v in_o affliction_n and_o as_o to_o the_o right_a management_n of_o themselves_o and_o their_o cause_n under_o their_o affliction_n to_o comfort_v they_o also_o both_o with_o respect_n to_o their_o

have_v afore_o give_v they_o in_o their_o suffer_a state_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v my_o brethren_n as_o you_o be_v now_o afflict_v so_o suffering_n be_v needful_a for_o you_o and_o therefore_o

the_o effect_n of_o our_o true_a do_v of_o this_o be_v we_o shall_v find_v god_n a_o faithful_a creator_n we_o will_v first_o begin_v with_o the_o duty_n that_o sufferer_n be_v here_o direct_v to_o

for_o explain_v before_o i_o proceed_v 1._o what_o we_o must_v here_o understand_v by_o the_o soul_n 2._o what_o by_o commit_v the_o soul_n to_o god_n for_o the_o first_o the_o soul_n here_o be_v to_o be_v take_v for_o that_o most_o excellent_a part_n of_o man_n that_o dwell_v in_o the_o body_n that_o immortal_a spiritual_a substance_n that_o be_v and_o will_v be_v capable_a of_o life_n and_o motion_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n yea_o that_o will_v abide_v a_o rational_a be_v when_o the_o body_n be_v return_v to_o the_o dust_n as_o it_o be_v this_o be_v that_o great_a thing_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n intend_v when_o he_o bid_v his_o disciple_n in_o a_o day_n of_o trial_n fear_v he_o that_o can_v destroy_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o hell_n luk._n 12.5_o that_o great_a thing_n i_o say_v that_o he_o there_o caution_n they_o to_o take_v care_n of_o according_a to_o peter_n here_o let_v they_o commit_v the_o keep_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o he_o in_o well-doing_n second_o now_o to_o commit_v this_o soul_n to_o god_n be_v to_o carry_v it_o to_o he_o to_o lift_v it_o to_o he_o upon_o my_o bend_a knee_n and_o to_o pray_v he_o for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n to_o take_v it_o into_o his_o holy_a care_n and_o to_o let_v it_o be_v under_o his_o keep_n also_o that_o he_o will_v please_v to_o deliver_v it_o from_o all_o those_o snare_n that_o be_v lay_v for_o it_o

many_o have_v engage_v themselves_o against_o it_o thus_o david_n commit_v his_o soul_n to_o god_n when_o he_o say_v arise_v o_o lord_n disappoint_v he_o cast_v he_o down_o deliver_v my_o soul_n o_o

the_o soul_n to_o god_n this_o then_o be_v the_o duty_n that_o the_o apostle_n here_o exhort_v the_o sufferer_n to_o namely_o to_o carry_v their_o soul_n to_o god_n and_o leave_v it_o with_o he_o while_o they_o engage_v for_o his_o name_n in_o the_o world_n now_o from_o the_o apostle_n exhortation_n to_o this_o great_a duty_n i_o will_v draw_v these_o follow_a conclusion_n first_o that_o when_o persecution_n be_v raise_v against_o a_o people_n there_o be_v a_o design_n lay_v for_o the_o ruin_n of_o that_o people_n soul_n this_o i_o say_v do_v natural_o follow_v from_o the_o
