ver._n 19_o because_o god_n have_v command_v they_o to_o preach_v in_o his_o name_n sol._n then_o remember_v thou_o be_v under_o a_o double_a bond_n of_o conscience_n at_o the_o same_o time_n one_o from_o god_n who_o command_v thou_o to_o preach_v another_o from_o man_n who_o command_v thou_o not_o to_o preach_v but_o here_o in_o this_o case_n thy_o conscience_n be_v discharge_v 1._o unto_o god_n by_o do_v what_o he_o command_v thou_o and_o 2._o to_o the_o magistrate_n by_o submit_v to_o his_o power_n in_o suffering_n and_o so_o thy_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o thy_o reverence_n due_a to_o authority_n be_v both_o preserve_v and_o thus_o i_o be_o bring_v to_o my_o second_o doctrine_n quest_n in_o case_n of_o injurious_a imposition_n what_o be_v christian_a to_o do_v ans_fw-fr rather_o yield_v our_o body_n to_o the_o fire_n than_o our_o conscience_n doct._n 2_o to_o the_o worship_n as_o these_o three_o worthy_n in_o my_o text_n do_v from_o whence_o my_o second_o doctrine_n be_v this_o viz._n to_o cleave_v to_o god_n will_v and_o way_n against_o all_o humane_a dread_n and_o terror_n out_o of_o a_o confident_a persuasion_n that_o he_o be_v lord_n of_o our_o life_n able_a to_o deliver_v and_o in_o a_o humble_a resignation_n to_o his_o wisdom_n whether_o he_o will_v deliver_v or_o not_o in_o such_o a_o strait_n be_v a_o strength_n of_o spirit_n to_o be_v endeavour_v after_o by_o all_o that_o fear_n god_n and_o will_v keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n every_o circumstance_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v ground_v on_o the_o answer_n of_o shadrach_n meshach_n and_o abednego_n to_o nabuchadnezzar_n verse_n 16_o 17._o to_o cleave_v to_o god_n will_v and_o way_n so_o do_v they_o we_o will_v not_o serve_v thy_o god_n nor_o worship_v the_o golden_a image_n which_o thou_o have_v set_v up_o against_o all_o humane_a dread_n and_o terror_n so_o do_v they_o we_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o answer_v thou_o in_o this_o matter_n out_o of_o faith_n or_o a_o confident_a persuasion_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o deliver_v therefore_o they_o say_v our_o god_n who_o we_o serve_v be_v able_a to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o burn_a fiery_a furnace_n and_o in_o a_o humble_a resignation_n to_o his_o wisdom_n whether_o he_o will_v deliver_v in_o such_o a_o strait_n or_o not_o so_o they_o say_v he_o will_v deliver_v we_o cut_v of_o thy_o hand_n o_o king_n scil_n if_o it_o seem_v best_a to_o his_o godly_a wisdom_n we_o be_v not_o sure_a that_o he_o will_v deliver_v we_o therefore_o they_o express_v their_o confidence_n conditional_o but_o if_o not_o as_o if_o they_o have_v say_v he_o can_v if_o he_o will_v if_o it_o be_v for_o his_o glory_n and_o we_o and_o the_o church_n good_a deliver_v we_o but_o for_o that_o we_o resign_v up_o ourselves_o to_o his_o will_n and_o wisdom_n and_o resolve_v to_o stick_v to_o his_o way_n and_o to_o our_o duty_n however_o he_o please_v to_o dispose_v of_o we_o be_v a_o strength_n of_o spirit_n it_n be_v not_o every_o degree_n of_o grace_n that_o can_v make_v a_o man_n to_o do_v this_o yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v endeavour_v after_o and_o resolve_v on_o by_o all_o that_o fear_n god_n for_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v fear_v a_o man_n that_o shall_v die_v and_o forget_v the_o lord_n our_o maker_n who_o be_v able_a to_o destroy_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o hell_n if_o we_o deny_v he_o before_o a_o sinful_a generation_n of_o man_n but_o here_o i_o must_v make_v a_o end_n thus_o i_o have_v i_o hope_v according_a to_o promise_v in_o a_o sober_a moderate_a way_n unpartial_o hold_v forth_o the_o clear_a mind_n of_o god_n in_o this_o great_a and_o busy_a controversy_n how_o we_o ought_v to_o judge_v and_o how_o to_o walk_v betweeen_n two_o opinion_n one_o of_o they_o that_o bring_v the_o civil_a arm_n to_o enforce_v to_o a_o conformity_n under_o the_o temporal_a penalty_n of_o imprisonment_n sequestration_n etc._n etc._n and_o other_o that_o plead_v for_o a_o absolute_a freedom_n from_o all_o coercive_a power_n of_o magistrate_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n the_o true_a use_n of_o this_o discourse_n lie_v in_o the_o practice_n which_o if_o heed_v will_v produce_v this_o happy_a fruit_n 1._o god_n will_v have_v his_o glory_n and_o true_a pre-eminence_n over_o our_o soul_n 2._o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n its_o true_a honour_n and_o splendour_n be_v propagate_v and_o protect_v 3._o the_o devil_n and_o his_o instrument_n their_o due_a shame_n whilst_o error_n be_v restrain_v and_o vice_n suppress_v 4._o the_o minister_n and_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n will_v have_v their_o due_a
