be_v fall_v into_o sin_n continue_v in_o it_o the_o guilt_n and_o power_n of_o it_o remain_v upon_o his_o soul_n and_o he_o excuse_v himself_o with_o the_o smallness_n of_o it_o 5.18_o this_o be_v a_o

though_o other_o thing_n be_v great_a but_o take_v you_o heed_n that_o you_o keep_v every_o particular_a for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o jot_n of_o it_o but_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v all_o his_o

shall_v pass_v yet_o the_o least_o jot_n of_o that_o law_n shall_v not_o pass_v that_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n you_o may_v see_v by_o christ_n exposition_n of_o the_o law_n the_o pharisy_n say_v adultery_n must_v not_o be_v commit_v but_o i_o say_v say_v christ_n he_o that_o lust_n have_v commit_v adultery_n in_o his_o heart_n they_o say_v you_o must_v not_o swear_v by_o

therefore_o the_o mean_n to_o continue_v or_o procure_v his_o favour_n be_v it_o not_o heat_n and_o zeal_n again_o rev._n 2.4_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n fall_v from_o her_o first_o love_n what_o then_o therefore_o i_o will_v come_v against_o thou_o short_o and_o remove_v thy_o candlestick_n then_o to_o abound_v in_o love_n so_o that_o our_o work_n may_v be_v more_o at_o last_o than_o at_o

not_o only_o the_o great_a sin_n of_o the_o land_n that_o be_v cause_n of_o god_n wrath_n but_o the_o coldness_n of_o they_o that_o be_v otherwise_o good_a that_o cause_v the_o lord_n to_o remove_v the_o candlestick_n the_o very_a coldness_n of_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n in_o fall_v from_o her_o first_o love_n the_o lukewarmenesse_a of_o the_o laodicean_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o endure_v in_o they_o let_v every_o man_n consider_v this_o be_v his_o zeal_n now_o as_o much_o as_o it_o have_v be_v if_o not_o let_v we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v reckon_v coldness_n and_o lukewarmenesse_a the_o fall_v from_o our_o first_o love_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o bring_v god_n judgement_n on_o a_o nation_n but_o what_o be_v this_o zeal_n zeal_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o intention_n of_o all_o holy_a affection_n and_o action_n i_o will_v go_v no_o further_o than_o this_o text_n to_o show_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o phineas_n be_v zealous_a affection_n that_o be_v he_o not_o only_o do_v the_o thing_n but_o his_o heart_n burn_v within_o he_o with_o zeal_n for_o god._n so_o as_o first_o there_o must_v be_v a_o stir_v up_o of_o affection_n lord_n second_o it_o must_v be_v holy_a it_o must_v be_v for_o the_o lord_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o discover_v true_a zeal_n to_o look_v only_o to_o the_o lord_n to_o have_v no_o by-respect_n as_o there_o may_v be_v zeal_n that_o make_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o hea●e_n and_o yet_o it_o come_v from_o the_o earth_n although_o it_o make_v as_o great_a a_o show_n as_o the_o best_a again_o action_n there_o must_v be_v intention_n not_o only_o of_o affection_n but_o also_o of_o action_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v while_o he_o be_v zealous_a for_o my_o sake_n among_o they_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v this_o zeal_n of_o phineas_n be_v not_o keep_v smother_v in_o his_o own_o breast_n but_o it_o brak●_n forth_o into_o action_n he_o do_v something_o for_o the_o lord_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v action_n that_o glorify_v god_n and_o that_o benefit_n man_n only_a action_n stand_v on_o our_o reckon_n for_o you_o know_v god_n judge_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n it_o be_v action_n that_o do_v ourselves_o good_a that_o make_v we_o useful_a and_o serviceable_a to_o man_n and_o the_o church_n that_o make_v we_o instrument_n of_o god_n glory_n therefore_o add_v action_n to_o affection_n and_o know_v that_o zeal_n stand_v in_o both_o for_o it_o be_v the_o intention_n of_o holy_a action_n and_o affection_n i_o will_v add_v no_o more_o in_o the_o explication_n but_o will_v brief_o apply_v it_o 1_o and_o first_o if_o it_o be_v zeal_n that_o turn_v away_o the_o lord_n wrath_n zealous_a then_o why_o shall_v we_o discourage_v zeal_n by_o it_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v the_o city_n stand_v why_o do_v wicked_a man_n cry_v down_o all_o religion_n and_o zeal_n under_o the_o name_n of_o preciseness_n discouragement_n and_o overmuch_o strictness_n of_o life_n walk_v bold_o in_o the_o street_n and_o reckon_v it_o their_o glory_n to_o wound_n god_n through_o the_o side_n of_o man_n so_o that_o they_o make_v those_o that_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n effect_n ready_a to_o reckon_v that_o their_o shame_n which_o be_v their_o glory_n to_o hang_v down_o the_o wing_n and_o to_o seek_v corner_n to_o hide_v their_o head_n in_o whence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n follow_v their_o master_n a_o far_o off_o as_o if_o they_o be_v half_o ashamed_a of_o his_o service_n when_o as_o they_o shall_v wear_v his_o livery_n in_o open_a view_n as_o account_v that_o their_o great_a

if_o it_o be_v zeal_n that_o turn_v away_o the_o lord_n wrath_n time_n then_o where_o be_v the_o zeal_n that_o shall_v be_v among_o we_o be_v we_o not_o rather_o fall_v into_o those_o late_a time_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o which_o shall_v have_v a_o form_n of_o religion_n without_o the_o zeal_n and_o power_n and_o life_n of_o it_o and_o if_o zeal_n turn_v away_o god_n wrath_n certain_o
