their_o peace_n with_o god_n that_o they_o may_v have_v sweet_a comfort_n from_o he_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o bitterness_n in_o the_o world_n i_o omit_v one_o thing_n that_o i_o shall_v have_v speak_v in_o opposition_n to_o the_o two_o thing_n that_o must_v be_v expect_v which_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o gospel_n will_v produce_v and_o that_o may_v be_v presage_v in_o the_o 54._o verse_n and_o he_o say_v unto_o all_o the_o people_n etc._n etc._n if_o man_n be_v but_o so_o wise_a to_o observe_v those_o prognostication_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o way_n of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o they_o be_v to_o prognosticate_v the_o face_n of_o the_o heaven_n when_o they_o see_v the_o evening_n fair_a and_o red_a they_o presage_v fair_a weather_n and_o on_o the_o appearance_n of_o a_o cloud_n foul_a weather_n if_o man_n be_v so_o wise_a in_o the_o face_n of_o scripture_n they_o may_v foresee_v when_o calm_n and_o storm_n be_v likely_a to_o fall_v when_o they_o be_v like_a to_o fall_v into_o opposition_n and_o affliction_n and_o so_o wise_o may_v prepare_v and_o arm_v for_o the_o same_o out_o of_o all_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o mention_v one_o thing_n needful_a from_o the_o unseasonable_a and_o rude_a motion_n of_o the_o worldly-minded_n man_n interrupt_v our_o saviour_n sermon_n with_o a_o earthly_a question_n viz._n it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n nor_o strange_a that_o man_n shall_v bring_v carnal_a heart_n to_o spiritual_a duty_n you_o be_v not_o secure_a by_o be_v in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n by_o hear_v sermon_n but_o you_o may_v be_v full_a of_o carnal_a thought_n if_o you_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o purge_v they_o out_o you_o may_v be_v think_v of_o your_o house_n money_n or_o trade_n talk_v or_o barter_v about_o worldly_a thing_n and_o so_o turn_v the_o church_n into_o a_o exchange_n or_o you_o may_v be_v gaze_v after_o poor_a thing_n this_o body_n fashion_n or_o that_o body_n dress_v but_o every_o one_o shall_v be_v careful_a of_o that_o to_o omit_v all_o other_o thing_n i_o shall_v only_o fasten_v upon_o one_o observation_n and_o propound_v that_o so_o as_o it_o may_v be_v comprehensive_a to_o take_v the_o very_a substance_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n that_o our_o saviour_n propound_v and_o i_o shall_v express_v it_o thus_o doctrine_n covetousness_n be_v a_o vice_n that_o be_v hardly_o discern_v it_o be_v a_o subtle_a one_o it_o be_v a_o vice_n large_o spread_v it_o be_v a_o general_a one_o it_o be_v deep_o root_v and_o rivet_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o will_v hardly_o be_v beat_v off_o with_o many_o reason_n and_o argument_n much_o work_v and_o chase_v it_o be_v a_o vice_n that_o be_v high_o to_o be_v abhor_v of_o a_o very_a foul_a nature_n and_o consequence_n and_o therefore_o a_o vice_n that_o all_o that_o will_v be_v christ_n disciple_n shall_v be_v very_o curious_a to_o observe_v and_o cautious_a to_o avoid_v toward_z and_o fence_v themselves_o against_o you_o see_v every_o one_o of_o these_o contain_v and_o intimate_v in_o the_o very_a word_n of_o our_o saviour_n although_o i_o may_v have_v make_v so_o many_o several_a observation_n yet_o i_o choose_v rather_o to_o contract_v all_o into_o one_o and_o i_o hold_v it_o very_o expedient_a so_o to_o do_v that_o if_o a_o man_n can_v but_o remember_v the_o point_n he_o may_v carry_v away_o all_o the_o main_a thing_n that_o be_v say_v concern_v it_o though_o he_o may_v forget_v other_o particular_n yet_o he_o may_v have_v the_o main_a in_o the_o observation_n but_o before_o i_o enter_v into_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o point_n i_o shall_v 1._o premise_v one_o caution_n there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o man_n which_o happy_o may_v be_v here_o that_o may_v take_v some_o offence_n at_o this_o doctrine_n take_v thing_n with_o a_o wrong_a hand_n and_o hear_v they_o with_o a_o wrong_a ear_n which_o be_v deliver_v right_o 1._o the_o prodigal_a man_n may_v laugh_v in_o his_o sleeve_n and_o be_v tickle_v think_v he_o i_o be_o shot-free_a this_o sermon_n concern_v not_o i_o i_o be_o not_o guilty_a of_o that_o sin_n the_o world_n know_v it_o and_o i_o proclaim_v it_o well_o enough_o and_o this_o may_v please_v he_o and_o so_o harden_v he_o while_o he_o stand_v jeer_v at_o another_o man_n that_o walk_v contrary_a to_o he_o 2._o the_o frugal_a man_n he_o be_v clean_o contrary_a he_o be_v a_o sober_a and_o a_o good_a husband_n and_o he_o think_v it_o his_o wisdom_n to_o be_v so_o as_o indeed_o it_o be_v in_o a_o virtual_a way_n and_o with_o moderation_n but_o he_o be_v offend_v and_o think_v this_o may_v touch_v he_o many_o way_n take_v that_o to_o himself_o which_o be_v aim_v against_o covetousness_n as_o though_o it_o be_v speak_v to_o he_o 3._o the_o liberal_a man_n he_o may_v take_v some_o offence_n which_o be_v in_o the_o right_a path_n and_o line_n of_o virtue_n he_o may_v receive_v some_o prejudice_n because_o he_o be_v not_o only_o free_a from_o extreme_n but_o be_v conscious_a of_o the_o contrary_a virtue_n and_o so_o he_o may_v dance_v upon_o the_o rope_n of_o confidence_n and_o be_v secure_a in_o that_o one_o virtue_n as_o though_o he_o need_v no_o more_o whereas_o a_o man_n may_v have_v one_o virtue_n and_o be_v liable_a to_o many_o reproof_n not_o be_v out_o of_o the_o gunshot_n therefore_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v confident_a of_o that_o one_o but_o rather_o extend_v himself_o to_o every_o one_o and_o i_o desire_v every_o one_o of_o these_o who_o it_o may_v concern_v that_o they_o may_v by_o this_o caution_n be_v advise_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o offence_n or_o scandal_n which_o may_v hinder_v they_o in_o their_o way_n 2._o and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o point_n wherein_o i_o shall_v propound_v 1._o something_o concern_v the_o name_n covetousness_n 2._o concern_v the_o nature_n and_o so_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o clear_v the_o thing_n first_o by_o a_o description_n of_o it_o what_o it_o be_v second_o by_o a_o distribution_n of_o it_o according_a to_o the_o several_a kind_n and_o rank_n of_o it_o three_o by_o a_o short_a designation_n of_o the_o property_n of_o it_o not_o such_o as_o may_v make_v sign_n and_o character_n of_o it_o but_o such_o only_a as_o i_o express_v particular_o in_o the_o point_n 1._o this_o only_a i_o shall_v note_v concern_v the_o name_n covetousness_n for_o i_o can_v well_o go_v about_o to_o define_v any_o thing_n what_o it_o be_v except_o first_o the_o name_n be_v agree_v upon_o for_o name_n and_o word_n play_v fast_o and_o loose_a and_o so_o the_o definition_n must_v vary_v according_a to_o the_o latitude_n of_o the_o word_n to_o omit_v all_o metaphor_n and_o such_o which_o be_v far_a off_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a latitude_n of_o this_o word_n 1._o it_o be_v take_v in_o a_o large_a sense_n and_o so_o it_o comprehend_v all_o inordinate_a desire_n more_o than_o that_o which_o be_v proper_o call_v covetousness_n or_o which_o our_o saviour_n aim_v at_o in_o this_o place_n covetousness_n or_o concupiscence_n after_o any_o thing_n it_o may_v reach_v to_o all_o thing_n inordinate_o desire_v as_o for_o example_n to_o mention_v but_o three_o creature_n that_o there_o may_v be_v concupiscence_n after_o honour_n lust_n and_o riches_n now_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o it_o after_o this_o large_a sense_n 2._o it_o be_v take_v in_o a_o strict_a sense_n which_o i_o desire_v not_o to_o make_v use_n of_o though_o it_o be_v use_v by_o some_o divine_n as_o indeed_o every_o one_o will_v have_v his_o own_o apprehension_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o great_a difference_n for_o my_o part_n so_o long_o as_o thing_n be_v agree_v on_o i_o shall_v never_o make_v contention_n about_o word_n for_o that_o be_v but_o to_o hinder_v all_o knowledge_n know_v therefore_o some_o take_v the_o word_n more_o strict_o than_o be_v necessary_a they_o will_v have_v covetousness_n to_o be_v a_o inordinate_a appetite_n only_o in_o regard_n of_o keep_v and_o save_v riches_n and_o not_o to_o reach_v to_o get_v of_o they_o 3._o i_o take_v it_o here_o in_o a_o moderate_a indifferent_a sense_n and_o so_o it_o be_v all_o inordinate_a desire_n towards_o riches_n in_o that_o excessive_a way_n our_o affection_n and_o inclination_n be_v set_v on_o they_o inordinate_o i_o take_v covetousness_n in_o that_o middle_a sense_n which_o comprehend_v both_o desire_v inordinate_o and_o get_v inordinate_o and_o save_v inordinate_o either_o desire_v get_v or_o save_v inordinate_o this_o be_v covetousness_n and_o this_o be_v premise_v concern_v the_o word_n i_o shall_v in_o the_o second_o place_n endeavour_v to_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o first_o in_o a_o brief_a description_n which_o i_o promise_v not_o to_o be_v accurate_a in_o because_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a
