in_o his_o soul_n that_o in_o the_o 17._o verse_n he_o call_v it_o bitter_a bitterness_n he_o have_v no_o word_n to_o express_v this_o bitterness_n what_o ever_o it_o be_v where_o the_o judgement_n

every_o faithful_a man_n and_o woman_n therefore_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v common_o give_v to_o all_o in_o a_o common_a action_n in_o a_o society_n &_o congregation_n of_o the_o faithful_a three_o this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o thansgive_n to_o god_n the_o father_n for_o his_o benefit_n now_o it_o appertain_v not_o to_o one_o or_o two_o to_o thank_v god_n only_o but_o as_o we_o be_v all_o partaker_n of_o his_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a benefit_n so_o we_o ought_v all_o of_o we_o public_o to_o give_v he_o thanks_n for_o the_o same_o therefore_o i_o say_v in_o the_o definition_n this_o seal_n ought_v to_o be_v public_o and_o not_o private_o minister_v as_o the_o papist_n do_v in_o their_o private_a mass_n this_o seal_n must_v be_v public_o minister_v according_a to_o christ_n his_o institution_n wherefore_o say_v i_o christ_n his_o institution_n more_o than_o man_n institution_n or_o angel_n institution_n why_o keep_v i_o to_o christ_n his_o institution_n because_o man_n have_v not_o power_n to_o institute_v or_o make_v a_o sacrament_n only_o because_o a_o angel_n have_v not_o power_n to_o make_v or_o institute_v a_o sacrament_n for_o none_o have_v power_n to_o make_v or_o institute_v a_o sacrament_n but_o he_o that_o have_v power_n to_o give_v christ_n who_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o none_o have_v power_n to_o give_v christ_n but_o either_o the_o father_n or_o himself_o therefore_o none_o have_v power_n to_o make_v or_o institute_v a_o sacrament_n but_o either_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n only_o god_n must_v make_v a_o sacrament_n second_o this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n service_n and_o worship_n but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o none_o have_v power_n to_o appoint_v any_o part_n of_o his_o service_n or_o prescribe_v any_o part_n of_o his_o worship_n but_o only_o god_n himself_o therefore_o none_o can_v make_v a_o sacrament_n but_o god_n himself_o there_o be_v no_o prince_n will_v be_v content_v to_o be_v serve_v after_o another_o man_n fantasy_n but_o he_o will_v prescribe_v his_o service_n according_a unto_o his_o own_o pleasure_n how_o much_o more_o be_v it_o meet_v that_o god_n shall_v appoint_v his_o own_o service_n &_o worship_n therefore_o there_o be_v neither_o man_n nor_o angel_n have_v power_n to_o institute_v any_o part_n of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o service_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o angel_n nor_o man_n have_v power_n to_o institute_v a_o sacrament_n the_o great_a stile_n that_o any_o man_n can_v have_v in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n be_v that_o stile_n which_o the_o apostle_n give_v they_o 1._o cor._n 4.1_o there_o we_o be_v call_v stewar●s_n and_o dispenser_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n minister_n of_o those_o mystery_n and_o holy_a thing_n it_o follow_v then_o that_o we_o be_v not_o author_n creator_n and_o maker_n of_o they_o but_o only_a minister_n and_o dispenser_n of_o the_o sacrament_n so_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o no_o man_n nor_o creature_n have_v power_n to_o make_v a_o sacrament_n then_o it_o must_v be_v according_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n his_o institution_n must_v be_v keep_v look_v what_o he_o say_v what_o he_o do_v what_o he_o command_v thou_o to_o do_v all_o that_o must_v be_v say_v do_v and_o obey_v if_o thou_o

but_o it_o be_v essential_a so_o in_o the_o celebration_n of_o christ_n institution_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n to_o whatsoever_o he_o say_v do_v or_o command_v to_o be_v do_v thou_o must_v first_o say_v whatsoever_o he_o say_v and_o then_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o do_v for_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o sacrament_n must_v follow_v after_o the_o word_n first_o thou_o must_v say_v that_o which_o christ_n command_v thou_o to_o say_v and_o thou_o must_v teach_v that_o which_o he_o command_v thou_o to_o teach_v and_o then_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n institution_n then_o to_o keep_v this_o

that_o grant_v not_o this_o that_o the_o word_n must_v concur_v with_o the_o element_n before_o there_o can_v be_v a_o sacrament_n though_o they_o easy_o admit_v this_o general_a wherein_o we_o

mean_v by_o the_o word_n in_o the_o sacrament_n sacrament_n now_o what_o understand_v the_o papist_n by_o the_o word_n they_o preach_v not_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n nor_o take_v the_o whole_a institution_n as_o he_o leave_v it_o but_o in_o place_n thereof_o they_o select_a and_o choose_v out_o of_o his_o institution_n four_o or_o five_o word_n and_o they_o make_v the_o whole_a virtue_n of_o the_o institution_n to_o consist_v in_o the_o four_o or_o five_o word_n and_o it_o be_v nothing_o if_o they_o will_v content_v themselves_o with_o these_o word_n because_o they_o be_v

to_o my_o enemy_n this_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n which_o we_o a●e_v teach_v here_o we_o see_v this_o good_a king_n when_o all_o worldly_a comfort_n fail_v he_o and_o in_o his_o great_a extremity_n

the_o first_o be_v if_o you_o find_v yourselves_o refresh_v and_o recreate_v in_o your_o spirit_n from_o the_o terror_n of_o your_o conscience_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o sin_n which_o recreation_n and_o refreshment_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v call_v that_o peace_n that_o pass_v all_o understanding_n whereof_o the_o world_n be_v ignorant_a he_o that_o find_v any_o of_o this_o if_o it_o be_v never_o so_o little_a within_o he_o no_o question_n he_o have_v this_o life_n begin_v in_o he_o and_o the_o more_o this_o peace_n be_v augment_v the_o more_o the_o life_n grow_v but_o this_o peace_n grow_v by_o remove_v of_o sin_n therefore_o our_o whole_a study_n shall_v be_v to_o remove_v sin_n for_o the_o only_a thing_n that_o trouble_v the_o conscience_n be_v sin_n take_v away_o sin_n the_o conscience_n shall_v be_v at_o rest_n wherefore_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a effect_n i_o will_v you_o to_o take_v heed_n unto_o the_o second_o effect_n be_v joy_n and_o rejoice_v under_o trouble_n for_o we_o see_v trouble_v of_o the_o own_o nature_n bring_v not_o forth_o this_o effect_n but_o rather_o bring_v forth_o sorrow_n heaviness_n and_o lamentation_n then_o when_o our_o spirit_n be_v so_o dispose_v that_o under_o trouble_n we_o rejoice_v and_o glory_n in_o it_o this_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n this_o joy_n be_v not_o in_o all_o trouble_n it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o trouble_n which_o we_o procure_v but_o only_o in_o the_o trouble_n which_o we_o sustain_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n and_o which_o we_o sustain_v for_o christ_n his_o sake_n the_o three_o effect_n be_v if_o you_o have_v a_o love_n of_o god_n and_o good_a man_n and_o a_o hatred_n of_o evil_a where_o these_o effect_n be_v in_o any_o measure_n no_o doubt_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v there_o as_o by_o the_o contrary_a where_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o wicked_a and_o evil_a man_n no_o question_n let_v they_o speak_v of_o christ_n as_o they_o will_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o devil_n have_v full_a dominion_n this_o spirit_n of_o life_n we_o show_v be_v entertain_v by_o nourish_v of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n when_o we_o edify_v ourselves_o in_o our_o most_o holy_a faith_n when_o we_o nourish_v the_o exercise_n of_o prayer_n as_o by_o the_o contrary_a the_o spirit_n be_v put_v out_o when_o by_o our_o evil_a do_n we_o put_v out_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n when_o we_o diminish_v our_o persuasion_n of_o his_o mercy_n in_o christ_n &_o fall_v from_o the_o exercise_n of_o prayer_n then_o you_o that_o have_v this_o life_n begin_v nourish_v it_o by_o well_o do_v for_o by_o well_o do_v no_o question_n our_o faith_n be_v corroborate_v delight_n therefore_o in_o well_o do_v sow_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o the_o flesh_n run_v not_o with_o the_o thief_n nor_o consent_v not_o with_o the_o murderer_n for_o so_o you_o shall_v be_v participant_a of_o their_o punishment_n but_o sow_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o of_o this_o you_o shall_v reap_v a_o everlasting_a and_o

very_o necessary_a and_o i_o will_v wish_v you_o to_o consider_v of_o these_o thing_n think_v on_o the_o great_a benefit_n of_o god_n grant_v unto_o this_o country_n think_v again_o upon_o our_o

conscience_n body_n or_o soul_n sure_o this_o king_n speak_v very_o true_a for_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o god_n can_v hate_v in_o we_o but_o sin_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o he_o can_v

away_o sin_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o wicked_a shall_v cease_v yea_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o wicked_a one_o and_o the_o purgation_n of_o the_o godly_a shall_v

this_o king_n acknowledge_v this_o run_v unto_o god_n confess_v his_o sin_n &_o find_v mercy_n lesson_n so_o note_v the_o lesson_n whether_o the_o lord_n visit_v we_o with_o trouble_n of_o body_n or_o conscience_n see_v that_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o trouble_n let_v we_o run_v the_o high_a way_n to_o god_n examine_v our_o bypass_a life_n acknowledge_v our_o offence_n and_o run_v unto_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n for_o mercy_n and_o whosoever_o run_v to_o that_o throne_n shall_v find_v mercy_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o great_a necessity_n this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o second_o thing_n that_o he_o acknowledge_v be_v this_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o remission_n of_o his_o sin_n disease_n the_o best_a and_o sure_a cure_n that_o can_v be_v

the_o disease_n the_o unhappy_a world_n when_o they_o be_v visit_v with_o any_o disease_n they_o run_v only_o to_o the_o body_n and_o seek_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o disease_n only_o in_o the_o body_n as_o though_o the_o body_n have_v the_o only_a wit_n they_o run_v never_o to_o the_o soul_n when_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o body_n be_v but_o a_o instrument_n to_o the_o soul_n for_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v well_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o can_v be_v disease_v therefore_o see_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o disease_n lurk_v in_o the_o soul_n when_o the_o lord_n visit_v you_o with_o any_o disease_n run_v to_o the_o soul_n acknowledge_v that_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n lay_v the_o fault_n where_o it_o be_v and_o crave_v mercy_n of_o god_n for_o this_o be_v the_o ready_a way_n to_o cure_v
