the_o lord_n shall_v have_v speak_v to_o his_o heart_n aaron_n thy_o heart_n be_v in_o a_o mighty_a strong_a motion_n but_o consider_v that_o i_o must_v be_v sanctify_v in_o those_o that_o draw_v nigh_o i_o and_o let_v all_o those_o motion_n of_o thy_o heart_n be_v stop_v and_o quiet_a thus_o now_o you_o see_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o scope_n of_o it_o now_o in_o this_o scripture_n you_o have_v these_o three_o special_a and_o notable_a point_n 1_o that_o in_o worship_v of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o draw_v nigh_o unto_o he_o 2_o that_o when_o we_o do_v draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n we_o shall_v take_v heed_n to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o sanctify_v god_n name_n 3_o if_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o our_o drawing_n nigh_o to_o he_o then_o certain_o god_n will_v sanctify_v his_o own_o name_n upon_o we_o these_o be_v the_o three_o point_n that_o i_o intend_v to_o handle_v and_o especial_o the_o second_o to_o handle_v large_o among_o you_o i_o confess_v upon_o another_o occasion_n in_o one_o sermon_n i_o have_v speak_v out_o of_o these_o word_n but_o now_o i_o intend_v not_o only_o in_o general_n to_o show_v you_o how_o you_o shall_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o worship_n but_o likewise_o in_o the_o particular_a act_n of_o worship_n as_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o prayer_n in_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o hear_v the_o word_n in_o the_o several_a chief_a part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n how_o his_o name_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v for_o in_o all_o these_o you_o do_v draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n and_o for_o that_o end_n i_o have_v pitch_v my_o thought_n upon_o this_o scripture_n but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o these_o three_o great_a point_n that_o be_v the_o principal_a point_n in_o the_o word_n read_v unto_o you_o i_o shall_v take_v up_o divers_a other_o note_n of_o observation_n that_o lie_v up_o and_o down_o as_o it_o be_v scatter_v that_o be_v of_o great_a use_n and_o will_v help_v we_o further_a to_o make_v use_n of_o this_o scripture_n in_o the_o other_o point_n that_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o afterward_o and_o handle_v more_o large_o the_o first_o note_n be_v this_o observe_v that_o in_o god_n worship_n there_o must_v be_v nothing_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n but_o what_o he_o have_v command_v what_o soever_o we_o meddle_v with_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n it_o must_v be_v what_o we_o have_v a_o warrant_n for_o out_o of_o the_o word_n
be_v more_o than_o to_o read_v in_o a_o book_n more_o than_o to_o say_v a_o few_o word_n you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a thing_n to_o pray_v a_o work_n of_o great_a difficulty_n and_o no_o

to_o worship_n god_n god_n have_v more_o of_o thy_o heart_n then_o ever_o any_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n have_v god_n accept_v of_o that_o and_o that_o you_o must_v look_v unto_o can_v you_o

of_o my_o heart_n then_o ever_o any_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n have_v this_o be_v suitable_a to_o god_n god_n will_v account_v this_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o be_v a_o present_a suitable_a to_o himself_o as_o in_o the_o law_n when_o they_o offer_v to_o the_o build_n of_o the_o temple_n every_o one_o can_v not_o offer_v gold_n and_o silver_n and_o precious_a stone_n but_o some_o come_v and_o offer_v badgers-skin_n and_o some_o woman_n do_v spin_v and_o offer_a coats-hair_n to_o the_o build_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o so_o god_n accept_v of_o that_o be_v the_o most_o they_o can_v do_v 2_o in_o the_o second_o place_n when_o we_o do_v not_o only_o offer_v unto_o god_n the_o most_o we_o can_v but_o when_o we_o add_v to_o this_o the_o grief_n of_o our_o soul_n that_o

somewhat_o that_o be_v suitable_a to_o the_o infinite_a majesty_n of_o god_n upon_o this_o three_o ground_n because_o that_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o impression_n of_o god_n infinitnes_n in_o those_o service_n that_o a_o gracious_a heart_n do_v tender_a unto_o god_n and_o therefore_o suitable_a unto_o god_n you_o will_v say_v god_n be_v a_o infinite_a glorious_a god_n be_v it_o so_o he_o be_v infinite_a that_o be_v certain_a but_o the_o duty_n of_o worship_n that_o a_o gracious_a heart_n tender_v unto_o god_n it_o have_v a_o impression_n of_o god_n infiniteness_n upon_o it_o how_o be_v that_o if_o that_o can_v be_v make_v out_o then_o indeed_o we_o may_v be_v encourage_v to_o worship_n god_n thus_o that_o that_o a_o gracious_a heart_n tender_v up_o to_o god_n have_v a_o impression_n of_o his_o infiniteness_n in_o this_o regard_n because_o as_o god_n have_v no_o limit_n of_o his_o be_v so_o a_o gracious_a heart_n when_o it_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n will_v not_o

to_o god_n infinite_o it_o will_v be_v here_o lie_v i_o conceive_v the_o main_a difference_n between_o the_o most_o glorious_a hypocrite_n in_o the_o world_n and_o one_o that_o have_v true_a grace_n yea_o that_o have_v but_o the_o least_o degree_n of_o grace_n the_o most_o glorious_a hypocrite_n in_o the_o world_n who_o it_o may_v be_v for_o the_o outward_a act_n do_v more_o than_o one_o that_o have_v true_a grace_n yet_o such_o a_o one_o do_v limit_v himself_o he_o do_v great_a thing_n but_o he_o do_v it_o so_o as_o he_o limit_n himself_o that_o be_v so_o much_o as_o may_v serve_v for_o

such_o a_o way_n so_o much_o he_o do_v do_v but_o his_o duty_n be_v always_o limit_v within_o such_o bound_n and_o if_o he_o can_v conceive_v that_o he_o may_v go_v to_o heaven_n and_o that_o he_o may_v have_v as_o much_o credit_n and_o honour_n and_o as_o much_o peace_n of_o conscience_n with_o do_v less_o he_o will_v do_v less_o but_o now_o one_o that_o have_v grace_n though_o but_o little_a though_o but_o the_o least_o dram_n of_o grace_n he_o go_v far_a indeed_o say_v he_o though_o through_o the_o little_a grace_n that_o i_o have_v i_o can_v do_v what_o another_o can_v do_v yet_o this_o do_v so_o enlarge_v my_o heart_n that_o i_o will_v have_v no_o bound_n set_v in_o what_o i_o do_v for_o god_n but_o i_o will_v have_v it_o enlarge_v to_o the_o uttermost_a latitude_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a beyond_o what_o ever_o yet_o be_v do_v for_o god_n in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o more_o i_o do_v the_o more_o i_o do_v desire_n to_o do_v that_o be_v now_o a_o kind_n of_o infinitnes_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n where_o grace_n come_v i_o say_v grace_n enlarge_v the_o heart_n to_o a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n that_o the_o more_o it_o do_v the_o more_o it_o will_v do_v there_o be_v no_o hypocrite_n but_o will_v have_v his_o period_n he_o will_v rise_v thus_o and_o thus_o and_o thus_o high_a ordinary_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o if_o he_o live_v in_o some_o company_n there_o he_o be_v high_a but_o if_o he_o live_v in_o other_o company_n there_o he_o be_v low_a now_o there_o be_v nothing_o do_v limit_v a_o gracious_a heart_n but_o to_o all_o eternity_n it_o will_v work_v and_o work_v more_o and_o more_o for_o god_n here_o now_o be_v a_o worship_n that_o be_v some_o way_n suitable_a to_o the_o infinite_a excellency_n that_o there_o be_v in_o god_n here_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o proportion_n as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v even_o between_o the_o creature_n and_o god_n himself_o in_o this_o thing_n but_o it_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o creature_n here_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n indeed_o because_o grace_n do_v so_o enlarge_v the_o heart_n even_o to_o a_o infiniteness_n as_o it_o be_v for_o god_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o the_o general_n what_o it_o be_v to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n to_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n that_o which_o be_v some_o way_n suitable_a to_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o infinite_a god_n 2_o you_o know_v there_o be_v a_o second_o thing_n viz._n that_o then_o i_o do_v sanctify_v god_n name_n when_o i_o come_v so_o to_o worship_n god_n as_o my_o heart_n work_v and_o follow_v after_o god_n as_o a_o god_n so_o as_o it_o do_v beseem_v the_o soul_n of_o a_o creature_n to_o follow_v the_o infinite_a creator_n and_o to_o work_v after_o the_o infinite_a creator_n so_o david_n in_o psal_n 63._o 5._o my_o

they_o have_v the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n uphold_v of_o they_o it_o be_v a_o mighty_a encouragement_n to_o put_v forth_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o uttermost_a because_o when_o thou_o do_v so_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n uphold_v thou_o so_o that_o thy_o heart_n must_v follow_v after_o god_n more_o than_o it_o follow_v after_o any_o creature_n 3_o when_o i_o come_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n i_o come_v to_o present_v myself_o for_o the_o
communication_n of_o the_o choice_a of_o his_o mercy_n so_o than_o i_o sanctify_v god_n name_n when_o i_o labour_v to_o prepare_v and_o open_v my_o heart_n for_o god_n as_o for_o the_o choice_a

we_o be_v to_o come_v more_o particular_o to_o this_o to_o open_v the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n 1_o first_o in_o what_o particular_n the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o heart_n may_v be_v discover_v to_o be_v suitable_a to_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o god_n greatness_n and_o glory_n 2_o second_o what_o the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o heart_n shall_v be_v as_o suitable_a to_o the_o several_a attribute_n of_o god_n it_o will_v cost_v we_o some_o time_n to_o open_v the_o particular_a thing_n in_o the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o greatness_n and_o

which_o have_v in_o his_o fâ—ock_n a_o male_a and_o vow_v and_o sacrifice_v unto_o the_o lord_n a_o corrupt_a thing_n why_o for_o i_o be_o a_o great_a king_n say_v the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o curse_a be_v he_o that_o do_v not_o offer_v a_o sacrifice_n suitable_a to_o my_o greatness_n and_o in_o 2_o chron_n 2._o 5._o we_o find_v that_o solomon_n when_o he_o be_v prepare_v for_o the_o temple_n he_o will_v build_v a_o great_a temple_n why_o because_o god_n be_v a_o great_a god_n that_o he_o will_v build_v it_o too_o so_o that_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n must_v be_v some_o great_a thing_n because_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o great_a god_n and_o it_o must_v be_v suitable_a to_o his_o greatness_n now_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o in_o what_o particular_n do_v the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o soul_n consist_v that_o be_v very_o suitable_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o god_n in_o the_o general_a there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o this_o 1_o the_o first_o be_v you_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o

work_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n or_o else_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n i_o will_v give_v you_o one_o text_n further_o about_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o in_o exod._n 39_o if_o you_o read_v the_o chapter_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o there_o be_v ten_o time_n say_v that_o they_o do_v as_o god_n have_v command_v moses_n and_o then_o in_o the_o close_a of_o the_o chapter_n when_o they_o

by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n second_o how_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o our_o duty_n be_v act_v by_o natural_a conscience_n rather_o than_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 1_o first_o if_o thou_o be_v act_v by_o natural_a part_n they_o will_v not_o change_v thy_o heart_n man_n that_o do_v perform_v duty_n by_o the_o strength_n of_o natural_a part_n they_o may_v be_v as_o large_a as_o other_o

into_o the_o very_a image_n of_o his_o spirit_n 2_o second_o if_o man_n be_v act_v by_o natural_a part_n they_o will_v not_o carry_v they_o through_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n but_o now_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o have_v act_v by_o he_o though_o thou_o do_v meet_v with_o never_o such_o difficulty_n &_o discouragement_n thou_o will_v be_v carry_v through_o they_o all_o 3_o thou_o may_v know_v it_o by_o this_o wherein_o do_v thou_o account_v the_o excellency_n of_o a_o duty_n to_o consist_v either_o in_o thyself_o or_o other_o thou_o perform_v a_o duty_n now_o it_o may_v

because_o thou_o have_v thy_o end_n at_o another_o time_n perhaps_o thy_o heart_n be_v more_o trouble_v and_o break_v but_o thou_o do_v not_o express_v thyself_o so_o much_o than_o thou_o be_v

they_o be_v less_o enlarge_v than_o they_o be_v before_o other_o a_o great_a deal_n their_o part_n act_n much_o before_o other_o but_o what_o be_v there_o between_o god_n and_o their_o own_o soul_n 5_o they_o that_o be_v so_o act_v will_v not_o be_v very_o constant_a you_o shall_v have_v young_a one_o that_o begin_v to_o look_v towards_o religion_n their_o part_n be_v a_o little_a fresh_a and_o they_o be_v mighty_o enlarge_v in_o holy_a duty_n and_o the_o thing_n be_v good_a for_o they_o to_o make_v use_n of_o their_o part_n but_o how_o ordinary_a be_v it_o that_o after_o a_o few_o year_n they_o be_v dead_a and_o dull_a than_o they_o be_v before_o and_o have_v less_o mind_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n than_o they_o have_v former_o be_v this_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n you_o will_v find_v as_o much_o savour_n and_o relish_v in_o they_o afterward_o as_o there_o be_v at_o that_o time_n second_o for_o natural_a conscience_n which_o sometime_o put_v man_n upon_o act_v of_o

that_o be_v thus_o when_o i_o be_o to_o go_v to_o worship_n god_n i_o must_v consider_v of_o he_o as_o he_o be_v a_o infinite_a and_o glorious_a spirit_n well_o then_o sure_o bodily_a worship_n be_v

this_o be_v not_o to_o worship_n god_n as_o a_o spirit_n if_o indeed_o that_o our_o god_n be_v as_o the_o heathen_n that_o be_v corporeal_a than_o it_o be_v another_o matter_n then_o bodily_a

our_o heart_n must_v not_o go_v after_o our_o coveteousnesse_n we_o must_v set_v our_o heart_n to_o what_o we_o hear_v we_o must_v hear_v with_o our_o heart_n as_o well_o as_o with_o our_o ear_n our_o

worship_n without_o soul-worship_n be_v nothing_o but_o soul-worship_n may_v be_v accept_v without_o bodily_a worship_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o soul_n that_o god_n do_v principal_o look_v at_o in_o holy_a duty_n if_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o worship_n god_n in_o your_o body_n you_o may_v worship_v he_o in_o your_o soul_n and_o god_n regard_v that_o bodily_a exercise_n in_o holy_a duty_n

thou_o must_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v now_o present_o commit_v and_o be_v humble_v as_o much_o before_o the_o lord_n as_o if_o it_o be_v now_o commit_v at_o this_o present_a you_o

that_o end_n that_o you_o may_v do_v it_o there_o be_v these_o two_o or_o three_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v propound_v to_o you_o 1_o in_o the_o first_o place_n learn_v to_o know_v god_n more_o with_o who_o you_o have_v to_o do_v and_o present_v those_o thing_n that_o you_o have_v hear_v before_o you_o in_o your_o meditation_n when_o as_o you_o be_v to_o come_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n or_o in_o any_o other_o duty_n and_o when_o you_o be_v worship_v of_o god_n remember_v that_o you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n and_o none_o else_o you_o be_v every_o time_n you_o come_v to_o perform_v holy_a duty_n to_o be_v as_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n separate_v from_o all_o thing_n valerius_n maximus_n tell_v a_o story_n of_o a_o young_a noble_a man_n that_o attend_v upon_o alexander_n while_o he_o be_v sacrifice_v this_o noble_a man_n hold_v his_o censer_n for_o incense_n and_o in_o the_o hold_n of_o it_o there_o fall_v a_o coal_n upon_o his_o flesh_n and_o burn_v it_o so_o as_o the_o very_a scent_n of_o it_o be_v in_o the_o nostril_n of_o all_o that_o be_v about_o he_o and_o because_o he_o will_v not_o disturb_v alexander_n in_o his_o service_n he_o resolute_o do_v not_o stir_v to_o put_v of_o the_o fire_n from_o he_o but_o hold_v still_o his_o censer_n if_o heathen_n make_v such_o ado_n in_o their_o sacrifice_v to_o their_o idol_n god_n that_o they_o will_v mind_v it_o so_o as_o no_o disturbance_n must_v be_v make_v what_o ever_o they_o indute_v what_o care_n shall_v we_o have_v then_o of_o ourselves_o when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_v the_o high_a god_n and_o so_o josephus_n he_o report_v of_o the_o priest_n that_o be_v sacrifice_v in_o the_o temple_n when_o pampey_n break_v in_o to_o they_o with_o arm_a man_n and_o though_o they_o may_v have_v flee_v and_o save_v their_o life_n yet_o they_o will_v not_o leave_v off_o their_o sacrifice_v but_o be_v slay_v by_o the_o soldier_n they_o do_v so_o mind_n it_o as_o a_o matter_n of_o great_a consequence_n oh_o that_o we_o can_v mind_v the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n as_o matter_n of_o great_a moment_n that_o so_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o they_o more_o than_o ever_o we_o have_v do_v 2_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o worship_n take_v heed_n thou_o do_v not_o come_v in_o thy_o own_o strength_n for_o there_o be_v more_o require_v in_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n than_o thy_o strength_n be_v able_a to_o carry_v thou_o on_o in_o and_o therefore_o act_v thy_o faith_n upon_o jesus_n christ_n every_o time_n thou_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n not_o only_o as_o i_o say_v before_o to_o tender_v up_o thy_o service_n in_o his_o name_n but_o act_v thy_o faith_n upon_o christ_n to_o give_v thou_o strength_n to_o do_v what_o thou_o have_v to_o do_v &_o what_o strength_n thou_o have_v receive_v from_o christ_n be_v sure_a to_o stir_v it_o up_o many_o godly_a man_n &_o woman_n have_v more_o strength_n than_o they_o know_v of_o themselves_o &_o if_o they_o will_v but_o stir_v up_o that_o strength_n that_o they_o have_v receive_v they_o may_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o they_o do_v therefore_o remember_v that_o text_n before_o mention_v none_o stir_v up_o himself_o to_o take_v hold_n on_o god_n quicken_v up_o thy_o heart_n and_o rouse_v up_o thy_o spirit_n when_o thou_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n 3_o when_o ever_o thou_o be_v worship_v of_o god_n do_v not_o satisfy_v thyself_o mere_o in_o the_o duty_n do_v but_o consider_v do_v i_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o the_o duty_n every_o time_n thou_o worship_v he_o examine_v thy_o heart_n whether_o thou_o do_v it_o yea_o or_o no._n and_o if_o thou_o find_v that_o thou_o have_v not_o attain_v in_o some_o comfortable_a measure_n to_o this_o that_o have_v be_v present_v to_o theeâ—_n let_v the_o shame_n and_o the_o sorrow_n for_o that_o abide_v upon_o thy_o spirit_n until_o the_o next_o time_n thou_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n at_o such_o a_o time_n i_o have_v be_v worship_v of_o god_n and_o god_n know_v i_o have_v be_v stir_v up_o my_o heart_n in_o some_o measureâ—_n but_o i_o find_v my_o heart_n dead_a wander_v sluggish_a and_o dull_a i_o say_v when_o thou_o find_v thou_o can_v not_o do_v it_o according_a to_o what_o be_v require_v in_o any_o comfortable_a measure_n let_v the_o shame_n and_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n for_o it_o abide_v upon_o thou_o till_o the_o next_o time_n thou_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n and_o that_o will_v mighty_o help_v thou_o thou_o be_v now_o pray_v and_o thou_o can_v not_o now_o get_v up_o thy_o heart_n to_o what_o be_v require_v the_o next_o time_n thou_o come_v to_o prayer_n come_v in_o the_o shame_n and_o sorrow_n of_o thy_o heart_n for_o the_o want_n of_o sanctify_a god_n name_v the_o last_o time_n and_o so_o for_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n or_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o this_o will_v further_o thou_o mighty_o for_o the_o sanctify_a the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n but_o now_o that_o all_o may_v be_v seal_v up_o unto_o you_o and_o so_o that_o we_o may_v close_v the_o point_n know_v that_o god_n will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o those_o that_o â—â—_o draw_v nigh_o to_o himâ—_n and_o there_o be_v these_o two_o thing_n in_o the_o point_n first_o if_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n god_n will_v sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o a_o way_n of_o justice_n second_o if_o we_o do_v sanctify_v his_o name_n than_o he_o will_v
sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n towards_o we_o for_o the_o first_o god_n will_v manifest_v that_o he_o be_v displease_v with_o such_o duty_n that_o thou_o do_v perform_v he_o will_v manifest_v it_o one_o way_n or_o other_o that_o he_o be_v a_o holy_a god_n and_o he_o do_v not_o accept_v of_o such_o unholy_a thing_n as_o thou_o do_v tender_a up_o to_o he_o for_o the_o truth_n be_v if_o god_n shall_v accept_v of_o such_o unholy_a thing_n from_o man_n god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v like_a unto_o themselves_o as_o a_o man_n if_o he_o do_v entertain_v any_o as_o his_o familiar_a friend_n that_o be_v naught_o and_o wicked_a it_o be_v his_o disgrace_n and_o dishonour_n a_o man_n may_v sometime_o employ_v in_o some_o business_n those_o that_o be_v naught_o and_o wicked_a and_o it_o may_v be_v no_o disgrace_n to_o he_o but_o if_o he_o do_v entertain_v one_o in_o his_o house_n that_o be_v wicked_a it_o be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o he_o so_o god_n may_v employ_v the_o most_o wicked_a man_n in_o the_o world_n in_o some_o outward_a service_n but_o if_o he_o shall_v accept_v of_o they_o in_o his_o worship_n it_o will_v be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o god_n and_o therefore_o god_n that_o he_o may_v sanctify_v his_o own_o name_n he_o will_v manifest_v his_o displeasure_n at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o against_o such_o duty_n of_o worship_n you_o that_o perform_v worship_n in_o a_o formal_a manner_n and_o with_o unclean_a vile_a heart_n i_o say_v it_o stand_v upon_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n if_o he_o will_v manifest_v himself_o a_o holy_a god_n he_o must_v manifest_v some_o displeasure_n against_o that_o way_n of_o thy_o worship_v of_o he_o this_o one_o meditation_n one_o will_v think_v shall_v mighty_o sink_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o any_o man_n that_o have_v a_o enlighten_v conscience_n to_o think_v thus_o it_o stand_v upon_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n and_o he_o can_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o holy_a god_n except_o he_o do_v some_o way_n or_o other_o appear_v to_o be_v against_o i_o in_o such_o duty_n that_o i_o tender_v up_o unto_o he_o now_o you_o will_v say_v how_o do_v god_n appear_v that_o he_o do_v not_o accept_v of_o they_o he_o will_v appear_v in_o these_o three_o thing_n 1_o first_o by_o blast_v those_o that_o do_v worship_n he_o thus_o in_o a_o formal_a way_n it_o shall_v at_o first_o be_v secret_a but_o afterward_o it_o will_v appear_v more_o apparent_o and_o we_o see_v it_o by_o experience_n that_o such_o as_o have_v be_v professor_n of_o religion_n and_o worship_n god_n in_o hypocrisy_n and_o in_o formality_n they_o have_v be_v blast_v in_o their_o part_n and_o common_a gift_n the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n that_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_v it_o be_v secret_a at_o first_o it_o strike_v they_o dead_a and_o though_o by_o fire_n yet_o if_o you_o read_v the_o story_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o their_o clothes_n be_v not_o burn_v and_o yet_o they_o be_v burn_v in_o their_o body_n so_o the_o lord_n some_o time_n do_v blast_v man_n inward_o in_o their_o spirit_n in_o their_o soul_n in_o their_o part_n in_o their_o common_a gift_n â—he_n blast_v they_o i_o say_v inward_o though_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v outward_o yet_o at_o length_n it_o will_v appear_v before_o man_n that_o they_o be_v blast_v and_o in_o these_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o lord_n do_v come_v with_o spiritual_a judgement_n rather_o than_o with_o outward_a temporal_a judgement_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n those_o that_o do_v not_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n the_o lord_n do_v appear_v by_o some_o external_a and_o visible_a way_n upon_o their_o body_n but_o now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o god_n come_v with_o more_o spiritual_a judgement_n upon_o man_n soul_n and_o those_o be_v the_o most_o terrible_a judgement_n we_o have_v a_o notable_a scripture_n for_o this_o in_o isa_n 29._o 13._o how_o god_n do_v blast_v those_o that_o do_v not_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o holy_a duty_n wherefore_o the_o lord_n say_v for_o asmuch_o as_o this_o people_n draw_v near_o i_o with_o their_o mouth_n and_o with_o their_o

why_o so_o many_o great_a scholar_n be_v blast_v in_o their_o very_a part_n because_o they_o will_v worship_v god_n according_a to_o the_o precept_n of_o man_n in_o a_o formal_a way_n and_o so_o all_o hypocrite_n and_o formal_a worshipper_n the_o lord_n do_v blast_v they_o in_o one_o way_n or_o other_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n be_v sometime_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n but_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o we_o find_v general_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n to_o be_v more_o spiritual_a upon_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n of_o man_n we_o find_v it_o by_o experience_n god_n do_v discover_v that_o he_o do_v not_o accept_v of_o such_o as_o those_o be_v and_o therefore_o when_o you_o see_v any_o that_o have_v make_v profession_n of_o

that_o come_v nigh_o i_o second_o the_o lord_n do_v manifest_a that_o he_o will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o those_o that_o draw_v nigh_o he_o by_o awake_v their_o conscience_n many_o time_n upon_o their_o

of_o some_o thing_n in_o the_o word_n that_o come_v close_o to_o their_o heart_n remember_v when_o you_o be_v a_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n that_o it_o be_v that_o which_o be_v above_o you_o and_o it_o

to_o such_o a_o thing_n and_o there_o be_v never_o any_o kind_n of_o transaction_n between_o this_o man_n and_o you_o before_o you_o will_v account_v it_o ridiculous_a after_o there_o have_v be_v

and_o i_o have_v find_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v my_o heart_n to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n speak_v to_o i_o and_o i_o send_v a_o answer_n to_o heaven_n again_o how_o willing_a my_o soul_n be_v to_o accept_v of_o the_o covenant_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v with_o poor_a creature_n in_o the_o word_n of_o his_o gospel_n can_v thou_o say_v this_o in_o the_o

with_o he_o second_o this_o ordinance_n it_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o spiritual_a nourishment_n of_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n now_o it_o must_v needs_o suppose_v that_o first_o there_o must_v be_v life_n before_o there_o can_v be_v any_o nourishment_n receive_v in_o if_o it_o be_v appoint_v to_o nourish_v and_o increase_v grace_n then_o sure_o there_o must_v be_v grace_n before_o what_o nourishment_n can_v a_o dead_a child_n take_v the_o very_o first_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v be_v nourishment_n here_o the_o word_n have_v power_n to_o convey_v life_n and_o then_o to_o nourish_v but_o we_o read_v of_o no_o such_o thing_n here_o but_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v here_o be_v present_o to_o feed_v to_o eat_v and_o to_o drink_v that_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o sacrament_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v suppose_v that_o thou_o must_v have_v spiritual_a life_n there_o must_v come_v no_o dead_a soul_n to_o this_o ordinance_n but_o those_o who_o be_v quicken_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o must_v come_v for_o nourishment_n three_o the_o act_n here_o require_v do_v note_n that_o only_o those_o that_o be_v holy_a and_o godly_a can_v receive_v this_o sacrament_n we_o be_v require_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o examine_v ourselves_o to_o examine_v ourselves_o of_o what_o it_o must_v be_v of_o our_o godliness_n examine_v what_o work_n of_o god_n have_v be_v upon_o the_o soul_n how_o god_n have_v bring_v the_o soul_n to_o himself_o and_o what_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v there_o and_o how_o we_o have_v be_v bring_v into_o covenant_n with_o god_n now_o if_o only_o those_o can_v receive_v worthy_o and_o be_v to_o come_v that_o first_o examine_v themselves_o then_o certain_o such_o only_a as_o be_v godly_a be_v to_o come_v for_o they_o only_o can_v perform_v those_o act_n that_o be_v require_v four_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o communion_n with_o god_n and_o communion_n with_o the_o saint_n now_o what_o communion_n have_v light_a and_o darkness_n or_o what_o fellowship_n have_v christ_n with_o belial_n if_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o communion_n of_o come_v to_o the_o table_n of_o god_n will_v god_n have_v his_o enemy_n to_o come_v to_o his_o table_n you_o will_v invite_v no_o enemy_n to_o your_o table_n but_o your_o child_n and_o friend_n so_o they_o must_v be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o the_o friend_n of_o god_n these_o that_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n and_o those_o that_o be_v his_o child_n that_o must_v sit_v at_o his_o table_n therefore_o they_o must_v be_v holy_a now_o this_o may_v suffice_v for_o that_o first_o thing_n that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n for_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n but_o such_o as_o have_v submit_v to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n before_o such_o as_o have_v grace_n and_o ability_n to_o examine_v themselves_o of_o their_o grace_n and_o such_o as_o be_v child_n and_o reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o so_o be_v fit_a to_o sit_v at_o the_o table_n of_o god_n and_o to_o enjoy_v communion_n with_o he_o and_o with_o his_o son_n and_o with_o the_o saint_n for_o we_o be_v one_o body_n sacramental_o when_o we_o come_v to_o this_o holy_a ordinance_n all_o other_o therefore_o certain_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v from_o this_o sacrament_n but_o such_o 2_o the_o second_o thing_n will_v make_v it_o out_o more_o full_o and_o that_o be_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o we_o be_v holy_a ourselves_o and_o so_o all_o ignorant_a profane_a and_o

be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o a_o holy_a communion_n and_o be_v clear_a out_o of_o that_o place_n in_o 1_o cor._n 10._o 16_o 17._o the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n which_o we_o bless_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o than_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 17._o verse_n for_o we_o be_v many_o be_v one_o bread_n and_o one_o body_n therefore_o all_o that_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n they_o must_v so_o come_v as_o they_o must_v be_v one_o body_n one_o spiritual_a corporation_n this_o very_a consideration_n that_o those_o with_o who_o we_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n be_v one_o body_n with_o we_o it_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n in_o it_o for_o

of_o saint_n and_o in_o that_o communion_n it_o be_v to_o be_v receive_v quest_n you_o will_v say_v must_v it_o be_v receive_v in_o
behold_v of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n in_o the_o red_a glass_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o behold_v he_o break_v and_o true_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n that_o have_v

when_o christ_n be_v crucify_v and_o have_v understand_v as_o much_o concern_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o now_o thou_o do_v and_o what_o christ_n be_v if_o so_o be_v that_o thou_o shall_v have_v

gal._n 3._o 1._o of_o paul_n speak_v of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v crucify_v before_o those_o that_o do_v hear_v the_o word_n and_o foolish_a galatian_n who_o have_v bewitch_v you_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o obey_v the_o truth_n before_o who_o eye_n jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v evident_o set_v forth_o crucify_v among_o you_o he_o do_v not_o mean_a that_o

christ_n in_o the_o word_n be_v not_o such_o a_o real_a evident_a and_o sensible_a set_n forth_o of_o christ_n crucify_v as_o when_o he_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o work_v with_o more_o efficacy_n to_o break_v the_o heart_n then_o that_o other_o sight_n and_o the_o reason_n that_o i_o give_v be_v this_o because_o you_o do_v never_o find_v that_o god_n do_v set_v that_o apart_o as_o a_o ordinance_n a_o institution_n appoint_v to_o that_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o look_v upon_o that_o for_o the_o break_n of_o their_o heart_n there_o be_v indeed_o a_o naturalnesse_n in_o it_o that_o if_o they_o do_v behold_v christ_n it_o may_v break_v their_o heart_n but_o it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o ordinance_n it_o be_v not_o a_o sacrament_n as_o this_o be_v now_o this_o be_v in_o a_o sacramental_a way_n in_o the_o use_n of_o a_o ordinance_n appoint_v by_o jesus_n christ_n to_o set_v forth_o his_o suffering_n and_o all_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o the_o soul_n there_o may_v be_v expect_v here_o a_o further_a blessing_n then_o in_o the_o other_o though_o its_o true_a the_o other_o may_v work_v mighty_o upon_o the_o heart_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o great_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o church_n a_o great_a institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o set_n out_o of_o his_o suffering_n it_o have_v a_o more_o special_a blessing_n that_o go_v along_o with_o it_o every_o ordinance_n have_v a_o promise_n and_o a_o more_o special_a blessing_n then_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n so_o when_o you_o come_v here_o to_o behold_v christ_n crucify_v before_o you_o you_o can_v see_v christ_n natural_o crucify_v as_o upon_o the_o cross_n but_o you_o have_v christ_n crucify_v before_o you_o in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o sacrament_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o solemn_a institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o have_v a_o special_a blessing_n which_o go_v along_o with_o it_o therefore_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o break_v here_o there_o be_v a_o aggravation_n of_o the_o hardness_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o great_a as_o if_o we_o shall_v behold_v jesus_n christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o our_o heart_n not_o break_v there_o and_o indeed_o this_o be_v a_o special_a reason_n why_o those_o be_v say_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o receive_v unworthy_o as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v be_v then_o alive_a and_o have_v be_v before_o the_o cross_n and_o there_o have_v see_v how_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v shed_v for_o sin_n and_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v affect_v with_o it_o but_o shall_v have_v account_v it_o as_o a_o common_a thing_n this_o man_n in_o some_o regard_n may_v have_v be_v say_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o his_o death_n that_o be_v to_o have_v join_v and_o consent_v with_o those_o that_o do_v crucify_v he_o for_o if_o a_o man_n see_v another_o commit_v a_o sin_n if_o he_o

and_o with_o a_o holy_a cheerfulness_n with_o a_o holy_a freedom_n of_o spirit_n not_o in_o a_o sullen_a way_n but_o as_o a_o child_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o father_n and_o not_o as_o a_o

rejoice_v with_o tremble_v therefore_o that_o brokennesse_n of_o spirit_n that_o i_o mean_v must_v not_o be_v slavish_a horror_n and_o fear_n but_o a_o kind_o melt_v of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o

in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o our_o own_o good_a god_n do_v give_v we_o leave_v so_o to_o do_v only_o here_o come_v in_o a_o question_n quest_n whether_o it_o be_v sinful_a to_o pray_v for_o affliction_n as_o sometime_o some_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o do_v answ_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v first_o take_v it_o absolute_o consider_v we_o may_v not_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v afflict_v we_o because_o affliction_n be_v in_o its_o self_n material_o a_o evil_a thing_n and_o a_o fruit_n of_o the_o curse_n therefore_o we_o may_v not_o i_o say_v absolute_o pray_v for_o

you_o may_v pray_v for_o continue_v in_o sickness_n or_o thus_o conditional_o lord_n if_o thou_o see_v that_o my_o heart_n be_v so_o vile_a and_o wretched_a that_o i_o will_v abuse_v through_o my_o corruption_n such_o and_o such_o mercy_n lord_n rather_o take_v they_o from_o i_o and_o let_v i_o be_v without_o they_o if_o thou_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o break_v this_o proud_a

lord_n rather_o let_v i_o have_v any_o affliction_n than_o sin_n rather_o let_v i_o suffer_v loss_n of_o my_o estate_n then_o sin_n against_o thou_o then_o depart_v from_o thou_o any_o thing_n lord_n rather_o than_o sin_n thus_o you_o may_v pray_v for_o affliction_n but_o not_o absolute_o you_o must_v not_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v send_v you_o affliction_n absolute_o for_o you_o do_v not_o

that_o if_o god_n shall_v speak_v to_o they_o as_o he_o speak_v unto_o solomon_n and_o bid_v he_o ask_v what_o he_o shall_v give_v he_o i_o very_o believe_v there_o be_v many_o in_o this_o

will_v ask_v something_o for_o the_o church_n but_o if_o it_o be_v for_o yourselves_o you_o will_v put_v up_o this_o petition_n oh_o lord_n that_o i_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o a_o wander_a spirit_n in_o holy_a duty_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o prayer_n that_o i_o may_v thereby_o come_v to_o enjoy_v more_o holy_a communion_n with_o thyself_o then_o ever_o yet_o i_o enjoy_v and_o they_o will_v account_v this_o to_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n than_o if_o god_n shall_v give_v they_o to_o be_v king_n or_o queen_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n if_o god_n shall_v put_v these_o two_o into_o the_o balance_n either_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o possess_v or_o otherwise_o to_o have_v more_o free_a heart_n in_o come_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n and_o to_o be_v deliver_v from_o that_o that_o have_v so_o much_o hinder_v their_o communion_n with_o god_n in_o prayer_n they_o will_v despise_v and_o scorn_v the_o world_n in_o comparison_n of_o such_o a_o mercy_n as_o this_o be_v

of_o prayer_n or_o ease_n we_o do_v not_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o unto_o a_o god_n vain_a thought_n in_o prayer_n do_v pick_v up_o the_o sacrifice_n like_o the_o bird_n that_o abraham_n drive_v away_o
