of_o god_n unto_o the_o people_n they_o can_v make_v the_o soul_n to_o stoop_v to_o those_o truth_n and_o practise_v those_o truth_n which_o they_o teach_v but_o herein_o appear_v the_o excellency_n of_o god_n teach_v above_o man_n he_o can_v make_v the_o soul_n to_o yield_v obedience_n unto_o the_o truth_n deliver_v he_o can_v bring_v the_o soul_n under_o the_o power_n of_o those_o truth_n see_v the_o prophet_n david_n expression_n to_o this_o purpose_n psal_n 38.2_o thy_o arrow_n stick_v fast_o in_o i_o and_o thy_o hand_n press_v i_o sore_o when_o god_n come_v to_o teach_v a_o soul_n he_o will_v shoot_v the_o arrow_n so_o fast_o that_o it_o shall_v take_v impression_n the_o soul_n shall_v come_v under_o the_o power_n of_o truth_n so_o that_o the_o soul_n shall_v say_v lord_z i_o will_v fain_o have_v shake_v off_o thy_o arrow_n but_o be_o not_o able_a for_o they_o stick_v fast_o in_o i_o and_o thus_o god_n do_v teach_v those_o in_o the_o act_n act._n 2.39_o when_o they_o hear_v this_o they_o be_v prick_v in_o their_o heart_n it_o be_v not_o the_o bare_a word_n of_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o tell_v they_o you_o be_v the_o party_n that_o have_v crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o

the_o voice_n of_o man_n but_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n in_o that_o word_n of_o truth_n and_o then_o they_o be_v prick_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o thus_o god_n do_v teach_v lydia_n he_o open_v her_o

thousand_o sermon_n and_o yet_o get_v no_o good_a if_o he_o hear_v only_a the_o voice_n of_o a_o man_n but_o if_o the_o day_n of_o god_n power_n come_v upon_o the_o soul_n that_o he_o hear_v the_o

soul_n above_o man_n second_o god_n teach_v the_o soul_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o man_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o time_n of_o his_o teach_v the_o soul_n the_o minister_n can_v teach_v they_o but_o some_o time_n in_o season_n and_o out_o of_o season_n but_o god_n can_v teach_v the_o soul_n at_o all_o time_n in_o the_o absence_n of_o teacher_n for_o either_o our_o teacher_n may_v be_v take_v from_o we_o or_o we_o from_o they_o but_o god_n can_v then_o teach_v the_o soul_n 2._o if_o we_o consider_v the_o place_n where_o he_o do_v teach_v the_o minister_n do_v preach_v in_o the_o public_a assembly_n but_o god_n can_v teach_v in_o all_o place_n and_o teach_v at_o once_o in_o all_o place_n which_o no_o other_o teacher_n can_v do_v 3._o if_o we_o consider_v the_o person_n which_o he_o do_v teach_v the_o minister_n do_v preach_v but_o to_o some_o of_o god_n people_n but_o god_n do_v teach_v all_o his_o people_n himself_o they_o be_v all_o teach_v of_o he_o and_o as_o god_n do_v teach_v all_o his_o people_n so_o he_o can_v teach_v they_o all_o at_o once_o the_o minister_n can_v teach_v but_o some_o at_o once_o but_o god_n can_v teach_v all_o the_o congregation_n that_o do_v assemble_v together_o at_o once_o he_o be_v not_o so_o much_o employ_v in_o one_o congregation_n but_o he_o can_v be_v as_o much_o in_o another_o at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n to_o teach_v his_o people_n so_o that_o consider_v the_o time_n the_o place_n and_o the_o person_n and_o in_o all_o these_o it_o will_v appear_v god_n teach_v be_v more_o excellent_a than_o man_v three_o god_n teach_v the_o soul_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o man_v it_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o infallibility_n of_o god_n teach_v and_o instruct_v his_o people_n he_o be_v a_o infallible_a teacher_n he_o do_v teach_v the_o soul_n infallible_a truth_n earthly_a teacher_n be_v not_o infallible_a teacher_n though_o they_o be_v faithful_a and_o endeavour_v to_o deliver_v the_o truth_n and_o nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n unto_o people_n yet_o they_o be_v but_o man_n and_o may_v err_v but_o god_n can_v err_v in_o teach_v of_o his_o people_n for_o he_o do_v teach_v his_o people_n according_a to_o his_o word_n which_o be_v infallible_a heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v perish_v but_o not_o one_o jot_n or_o tittle_n shall_v fall_v but_o here_o may_v arise_v a_o objection_n god_n do_v teach_v his_o people_n by_o the_o outward_a ministry_n of_o the_o word_n but_o the_o minister_n be_v not_o infallible_a ergo_fw-la god_n be_v not_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n of_o his_o people_n answ_n the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v a_o infallible_a word_n and_o this_o be_v that_o god_n do_v teach_v his_o people_n by_o then_o second_o it_o be_v when_o the_o minister_n hit_v upon_o the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n when_o he_o do_v give_v the_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o a_o text_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v accompany_v it_o and_o make_v it_o profitable_a unto_o the_o people_n for_o we_o must_v note_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v not_o go_v along_o with_o a_o false_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n but_o with_o the_o true_a sense_n for_o god_n spirit_n do_v accompany_v the_o truth_n man_n deliver_v and_o not_o the_o error_n so_o that_o still_o it_o will_v hold_v a_o truth_n man_n may_v err_v but_o god_n be_v the_o infallible_a teacher_n and_o instructor_n of_o his_o people_n four_o the_o excellency_n of_o god_n teach_v above_o man_n appear_v in_o the_o suitableness_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o person_n condition_n which_o he_o do_v teach_v minister_n may_v endeavour_v to_o prepare_v matter_n suitable_a to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o people_n they_o teach_v but_o they_o may_v be_v mistake_v but_o the_o lord_n know_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o his_o people_n and_o he_o know_v what_o truth_n be_v most_o suitable_a to_o their_o condition_n and_o he_o do_v teach_v they_o suitable_a to_o their_o
