fast_o in_o the_o defence_n thereof_o whereof_o two_o of_o they_o do_v concern_v other_o and_o the_o other_o two_o themselves_o by_o this_o we_o be_v teach_v use_v first_o to_o examine_v ourselves_o what_o gift_n and_o calling_n we_o have_v of_o god_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o stand_v upon_o they_o when_o any_o just_a occasion_n be_v offer_v unto_o we_o thereunto_o for_o all_o man_n have_v not_o their_o calling_n from_o god_n the_o lord_n speak_v of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n do_v complain_v in_o the_o 23._o chapter_n of_o the_o prophecy_n of_o jeremy_n that_o many_o do_v run_v who_o he_o do_v never_o send_v and_o make_v mention_n of_o king_n in_o some_o other_o place_n he_o do_v say_v that_o they_o do_v reign_v but_o not_o by_o he_o and_o sure_o daily_a experience_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o many_o of_o they_o do_v usurp_v that_o authority_n to_o themselves_o as_o athalia_fw-la the_o queen_n do_v of_o who_o you_o may_v read_v in_o 2._o chron._n 22._o and_o 23._o chapter_n thereof_o who_o the_o lord_n do_v never_o establish_v in_o their_o throne_n by_o his_o kind_n &_o love_a approbation_n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v how_o a_o man_n may_v know_v whether_o his_o office_n or_o call_n be_v from_o god_n or_o no_o that_o so_o he_o may_v stand_v stout_o upon_o the_o same_o and_o labour_n with_o all_o care_n &_o conscience_n to_o discharge_v it_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o you_o may_v know_v it_o by_o four_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v by_o his_o mind_n with_o the_o which_o he_o do_v enter_v into_o it_o the_o second_o be_v by_o his_o ability_n whereby_o he_o be_v enable_v to_o discharge_v it_o the_o three_o be_v by_o the_o like_n of_o the_o people_n by_o who_o he_o be_v approve_v for_o it_o and_o the_o four_o and_o last_o be_v by_o his_o success_n whereby_o he_o do_v prosper_v and_o do_v good_a in_o it_o for_o if_o he_o shall_v find_v these_o four_o thing_n in_o himself_o first_o that_o he_o enter_v into_o his_o call_n not_o with_o a_o corrupt_a mind_n as_o for_o honour_n praise_n gain_n or_o the_o like_a but_o with_o a_o single_a heart_n &_o desire_n to_o glorify_v god_n and_o to_o do_v good_a to_o his_o people_n second_o that_o he_o have_v grace_n and_o gift_n sufficient_a for_o to_o discharge_v those_o duty_n which_o be_v require_v at_o his_o hand_n three_o that_o he_o be_v approve_v of_o the_o church_n or_o common_a wealth_n wherein_o he_o do_v live_v they_o outward_o bestow_v this_o call_n upon_o he_o and_o last_o be_v assist_v from_o time_n to_o time_n by_o the_o gracious_a hand_n of_o the_o almighty_a to_o have_v good_a success_n in_o his_o call_n and_o to_o prosper_v therein_o doubtless_o than_o he_o have_v his_o call_n &_o office_n from_o god_n himself_o and_o not_o from_o man_n alone_o second_o by_o this_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o judge_v charitable_o of_o all_o such_o as_o do_v speak_v large_o now_o and_o then_o of_o their_o own_o gift_n and_o those_o place_n wherein_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v they_o for_o here_o we_o may_v see_v a_o man_n may_v do_v it_o with_o a_o good_a soul_n and_o discharge_v but_o a_o honest_a &_o godly_a duty_n in_o so_o do_v it_o true_a it_o be_v as_o solomon_n do_v say_v in_o prou._n 27.2_o let_v another_o man_n praise_v thou_o and_o not_o thy_o own_o mouth_n a_o stranger_n and_o not_o thy_o own_o lip_n for_o be_v not_o seemly_a for_o a_o man_n to_o praise_v himself_o but_o yet_o a_o man_n may_v stand_v upon_o his_o call_n and_o publish_v abroad_o such_o gift_n as_o the_o lord_n have_v bestow_v upon_o he_o for_o this_o be_v not_o to_o praise_v himself_o but_o rather_o to_o praise_v the_o lord_n and_o to_o bring_v honour_n unto_o his_o name_n yea_o the_o case_n may_v so_o stand_v as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o paul_n word_n in_o the_o 11._o chap._n of_o his_o 2_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n as_o in_o other_o place_n also_o that_o a_o man_n may_v praise_v himself_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n and_o set_v out_o his_o gift_n and_o grace_n to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o yet_o be_v no_o transgressor_n of_o salomon_n precept_n therein_o for_o solomon_n there_o do_v mean_v such_o a_o praise_v of_o ourselves_o wherein_o we_o aim_v chief_o at_o our_o own_o glory_n but_o there_o be_v another_o praise_n of_o ourselves_o wherein_o we_o have_v not_o so_o much_o a_o eye_n to_o ourselves_o as_o unto_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o honour_n and_o the_o good_a of_o all_o such_o as_o do_v belong_v unto_o he_o now_o if_o any_o shall_v praise_v himself_o after_o this_o sort_n we_o be_v to_o think_v reverent_o of_o he_o and_o not_o to_o censure_v he_o as_o a_o proud_a and_o vain_a glorious_a person_n for_o it_o no_o more_o than_o we_o do_v humble_a and_o bless_a paul_n who_o do_v the_o like_a last_o by_o this_o we_o be_v teach_v what_o we_o ourselves_o shall_v do_v in_o these_o wicked_a and_o unbridled_a day_n of_o we_o wherein_o many_o ungodly_a person_n do_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o condemn_v we_o much_o and_o to_o lay_v slanderous_a thing_n to_o our_o charge_n whereof_o we_o be_v clear_a and_o innocent_a the_o brownist_n or_o separatist_n as_o they_o call_v themselves_o to_o make_v instance_n in_o one_o point_n alone_o do_v accuse_v we_o as_o if_o we_o be_v no_o true_a church_n of_o god_n here_o in_o england_n and_o as_o if_o our_o minister_n be_v no_o minister_n of_o god_n but_o rather_o the_o minister_n of_o antichrist_n the_o arch_n and_o chief_a enemy_n of_o god_n but_o we_o must_v not_o let_v they_o go_v on_o thus_o still_o with_o their_o vile_a and_o slander_a speech_n against_o we_o but_o display_v unto_o they_o their_o abomination_n who_o do_v so_o unchristianly_a &_o beyond_o all_o the_o bound_n of_o holy_a charity_n condemn_v we_o &_o prove_v that_o we_o be_v the_o lord_n own_o inheritance_n and_o the_o people_n who_o he_o have_v choose_v unto_o himself_o to_o have_v his_o holy_a name_n call_v upon_o among_o we_o and_o that_o our_o minister_n be_v his_o true_a and_o faithful_a servant_n and_o such_o who_o he_o have_v send_v forth_o and_o do_v take_v his_o delight_n &_o pleasure_n in_o easy_o may_v these_o matter_n be_v confirm_v if_o we_o be_v to_o enter_v into_o any_o congress_n with_o they_o about_o the_o same_o but_o now_o at_o this_o time_n we_o have_v other_o matter_n in_o hand_n yet_o i_o will_v press_v one_o argument_n and_o so_o leave_v they_o it_o stand_v thus_o wheresoever_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v so_o preach_v and_o the_o sacrament_n so_o celebrate_v that_o by_o their_o mean_n a_o true_a and_o sound_a conversion_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n towards_o the_o lord_n almighty_n that_o they_o do_v believe_v in_o he_o aright_o and_o walk_v with_o careful_a soul_n in_o the_o path_n of_o his_o commandment_n to_o bring_v honour_n unto_o his_o name_n &_o to_o attain_v blessedness_n for_o themselves_o there_o there_o i_o say_v be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n and_o there_o also_o be_v his_o faithful_a and_o trusty_a minister_n but_o here_o in_o england_n with_o we_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v so_o preach_v and_o the_o sacrament_n so_o celebrate_v that_o by_o their_o mean_n a_o true_a and_o sound_a conversion_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n towards_o the_o lord_n almighty_n that_o they_o do_v believe_v in_o he_o aright_o and_o walk_v with_o careful_a soul_n in_o the_o path_n of_o his_o commandment_n to_o bring_v honour_n unto_o his_o name_n and_o to_o attain_v blessedness_n for_o themselves_o therefore_o here_o in_o england_n be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n and_o here_o also_o be_v his_o faithful_a and_o his_o trusty_a minister_n when_o they_o shall_v answer_v this_o argument_n i_o will_v frame_v some_o more_o for_o they_o to_o work_v upon_o but_o i_o think_v that_o will_v never_o be_v for_o they_o can_v answer_v it_o be_v so_o strong_a &_o invincible_a and_o a_o knot_n so_o hard_o twist_v that_o they_o can_v by_o any_o mean_n unloose_v it_o thus_o far_o the_o publish_n of_o god_n decree_n have_v stretch_v itself_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o part_n whereof_o it_o do_v consist_v and_o they_o be_v in_o number_n two_o the_o one_o do_v respect_v the_o person_n of_o christ_n the_o other_o his_o office_n or_o kingly_a power_n his_o person_n in_o the_o seven_o verse_n and_o his_o office_n or_o kingly_a power_n in_o the_o eight_o and_o nine_o for_o his_o person_n remember_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v who_o son_n he_o be_v the_o second_o how_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o he_o be_v his_o son_n he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n this_o be_v set_v down_o in_o these_o word_n that_o be_v the_o lord_n have_v say_v unto_o i_o thou_o

before_o their_o eye_n alas_o their_o case_n be_v miserable_a for_o they_o serve_v not_o the_o true_a and_o live_a god_n what_o show_v of_o religion_n soever_o they_o do_v make_v or_o what_o brag_v soever_o they_o do_v give_v forth_o concern_v the_o same_o for_o see_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v the_o very_a beginning_n of_o wisdom_n and_o the_o soundation_n or_o groundsill_n of_o god_n worship_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v unto_o you_o already_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o either_o they_o shall_v have_v any_o true_a wisdom_n in_o they_o or_o else_o religious_o shall_v serve_v the_o lord_n when_o they_o want_v this_o fear_n the_o only_a cause_n and_o fountain_n thereof_o second_o this_o may_v serve_v to_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o get_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n unto_o ourselves_o and_o to_o labour_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a to_o bring_v our_o heart_n thereunto_o that_o so_o we_o may_v true_o say_v of_o ourselves_o that_o the_o lord_n be_v our_o fear_n and_o our_o dread_n but_o against_o this_o it_o may_v be_v object_v object_n first_o that_o perfect_a love_n do_v cast_v out_o fear_n according_a to_o johns_n word_n in_o 1._o john_n 4.18_o second_o that_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o our_o enemy_n that_o we_o shall_v serve_v the_o lord_n without_o fear_n as_o it_o be_v in_o luk._n 1.74_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v ans_fw-fr that_o perfect_a love_n do_v cast_v out_o hellish_a fear_n and_o that_o slavish_a or_o servile_a one_o whereof_o we_o speak_v before_o that_o make_v man_n to_o tremble_v before_o god_n for_o fear_n of_o punishment_n and_o to_o fly_v from_o he_o as_o from_o a_o terrible_a judge_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n it_o cause_v that_o holy_a and_o childish_a fear_n mention_v also_o before_o that_o make_v man_n more_o careful_a to_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o to_o worship_v he_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v from_o the_o former_a of_o these_o we_o be_v deliver_v but_o not_o from_o the_o latter_a we_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n say_v paul_n in_o rom._n 8.15_o to_o fear_v again_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n whereby_o we_o cry_v abbah_n father_n so_o that_o true_a love_n be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o cast_v out_o this_o holy_a fear_n of_o adoption_n or_o reverence_n whereby_o we_o be_v draw_v to_o hate_v sin_n in_o love_n towards_o god_n and_o not_o for_o punishment_n sake_n that_o it_o do_v bring_v it_o in_o and_o establish_v it_o within_o us._n yet_o this_o be_v to_o be_v note_v by_o the_o way_n that_o servile_a fear_n be_v a_o good_a mean_n at_o the_o first_o to_o bring_v we_o unto_o god_n for_o it_o prepare_v a_o place_n for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o bring_v he_o into_o our_o soul_n as_o the_o bristle_n bring_v in_o the_o three_o but_o when_o he_o be_v once_o enter_v into_o we_o and_o have_v take_v up_o the_o possession_n of_o our_o soul_n within_o we_o then_o this_o fear_n be_v go_v as_o the_o bristle_n be_v when_o the_o three_o be_v enter_v into_o the_o hole_n beside_o this_o you_o must_v mark_v that_o as_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v not_o by_o and_o by_o perfect_a so_o a_o piece_n of_o this_o fear_n may_v still_o remain_v in_o they_o whereupon_o some_o make_v a_o fear_n which_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o two_o fear_n the_o filial_a and_o servile_a call_v it_o timor_fw-la initialis_fw-la a_o enter_a fear_n reach_v out_o

and_o therefore_o as_o they_o fear_v separation_n from_o god_n by_o offence_n which_o belong_v unto_o filial_a fear_n and_o proceed_v from_o love_n so_o they_o fear_v punishment_n and_o evil_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o the_o offender_n which_o belong_v to_o servile_a fear_n and_o proceed_v from_o the_o same_o but_o to_o proceed_v on_o the_o fear_n that_o be_v here_o require_v of_o we_o and_o which_o be_v to_o last_v for_o ever_o be_v that_o fear_n of_o reverence_n whereby_o we_o behold_v on_o the_o one_o side_n our_o own_o paruitie_n and_o smallness_n and_o the_o excellency_n of_o our_o god_n and_o his_o incomprehensible_a majesty_n on_o the_o other_o side_n dare_v not_o lift_v up_o ourselves_o against_o he_o but_o do_v stand_v in_o awe_n of_o he_o with_o all_o reverence_n be_v

dutiful_a wife_n towards_o their_o husband_n and_o in_o faithful_a subject_n towards_o their_o prince_n the_o fountain_n whereof_o be_v love_n and_o a_o due_a consideration_n of_o his_o excellency_n every_o way_n above_o us._n to_o this_o fear_n must_v we_o stir_v up_o our_o soul_n every_o day_n and_o so_o far_o as_o we_o will_v either_o worship_n god_n aright_o or_o have_v his_o blessing_n pour_v down_o upon_o we_o whether_o for_o this_o life_n or_o the_o life_n to_o come_v we_o must_v strive_v and_o contend_v with_o our_o soul_n and_o heart_n to_o bring_v they_o hereunto_o that_o so_o we_o may_v always_o reverence_v and_o dread_v the_o great_a name_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n doubtless_o we_o shall_v neuer_o serve_v the_o lord_n aright_o or_o become_v happy_a and_o bless_a until_o this_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v well_o we_o may_v perform_v some_o duty_n in_o outward_a appearance_n but_o we_o shall_v never_o look_v to_o all_o with_o a_o good_a heart_n and_o conscience_n within_o and_o howsoever_o we_o prosper_v and_o flourish_v for_o a_o while_n yet_o woe_n and_o destruction_n will_v overtake_v we_o at_o the_o last_o but_o let_v his_o fear_n be_v once_o plant_v

of_o the_o lord_n shall_v stand_v for_o ever_o and_o the_o thought_n of_o his_o heart_n throughout_o all_o age_n the_o three_o and_o last_o be_v the_o 12._o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n and_o

andreioyce_v say_v the_o prophet_n in_o the_o entrance_n of_o the_o psalm_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o be_v grieve_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o they_o do_v as_o it_o be_v loathe_v

not_o only_o because_o he_o have_v set_v such_o a_o good_a and_o bountiful_a king_n over_o they_o as_o his_o son_n be_v but_o also_o because_o he_o himself_o be_v so_o sweet_a a_o god_n and_o his_o

whatsoever_o they_o do_v with_o cheerful_a heart_n so_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v they_o his_o servant_n to_o rejoice_v in_o he_o &_o in_o his_o service_n and_o not_o to_o go_v about_o his_o

of_o it_o to_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o why_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o they_o be_v in_o number_n these_o two_o first_o because_o he_o do_v excel_v and_o pass_v all_o the_o creature_n in_o the_o

part_n to_o his_o son_n excel_v other_o child_n for_o learning_n and_o other_o rich_a endowment_n or_o last_o if_o he_o have_v a_o stately_a commodious_a house_n for_o his_o dwell_n over-matching_a all_o other_o house_n in_o the_o country_n about_o he_o for_o pomp_n and_o necessary_a use_n how_o much_o do_v he_o rejoice_v in_o these_o daily_o experience_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o they_o be_v the_o only_a joy_n and_o delight_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o even_o so_o shall_v it_o be_v with_o we_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o god_n for_o he_o do_v pass_v and_o excel_v all_o other_o whatsoever_o as_o in_o wisdom_n in_o mercy_n in_o justice_n in_o power_n in_o love_n in_o goodness_n in_o glory_n and_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v rejoice_v in_o he_o and_o make_v he_o our_o sole_a

and_o also_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v for_o it_o be_v a_o usual_a thing_n with_o we_o evermore_o to_o rejoice_v in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a unto_o we_o and_o
