can_v in_o this_o short_a life_n but_o a_o life_n of_o ease_n sloth_n and_o pleasure_n be_v a_o bad_a preparation_n for_o death_n it_o be_v true_a god_n do_v allow_v rest_n to_o the_o age_a where_o the_o body_n be_v abate_v in_o strength_n where_o the_o mind_n be_v grow_v dull_a and_o heavy_a through_o infirmity_n of_o age_n god_n allow_v that_o but_o where_o people_n be_v in_o their_o full_a strength_n full_a of_o life_n and_o vigour_n for_o these_o to_o give_v themselves_o up_o to_o sloth_n and_o idleness_n and_o not_o do_v the_o work_n of_o their_o day_n this_o be_v a_o iniquity_n that_o shall_v not_o go_v unpunished_a say_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n and_o this_o be_v further_a to_o be_v observe_v for_o encouragement_n that_o as_o god_n appoint_v every_o one_o their_o work_n for_o their_o day_n so_o if_o they_o be_v faithful_a he_o will_v spirit_n they_o for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o day_n if_o they_o give_v not_o themselves_o up_o to_o a_o life_n of_o ease_n sloth_n and_o pleasure_n he_o will_v spirit_n they_o to_o what_o he_o call_v they_o to_o in_o that_o day_n as_o you_o read_v of_o saul_n when_o god_n call_v he_o to_o be_v king_n it_o be_v say_v god_n give_v he_o another_o heart_n a_o public_a heart_n so_o you_o also_o read_v in_o number_n that_o when_o god_n appoint_v seventy_o elder_n to_o bear_v part_n of_o the_o government_n with_o moses_n it_o be_v say_v numb_a 11._o v._n 25._o the_o lord_n come_v down_o in_o a_o cloud_n and_o give_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o moses_n unto_o the_o seventy_o elder_n and_o it_o rest_v upon_o they_o and_o they_o prophesy_v god_n call_v they_o to_o service_n &_o he_o give_v they_o of_o moses_n his_o spirit_n so_o when_o he_o lay_v aside_o the_o ministration_n of_o moses_n and_o send_v forth_o apostle_n for_o the_o ministration_n of_o his_o spirit_n read_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o 2_o cor._n 3._o 5._o we_o be_v not_o sufficient_a of_o ourselves_o all_z our_o sufficiency_n be_v of_o god_n who_o have_v make_v we_o able_a minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n so_o that_o god_n be_v never_o want_v in_o afford_v his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o mortal_a man_n for_o that_o which_o he_o call_v they_o to_o which_o be_v great_a encouragement_n to_o be_v do_v the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o our_o day_n moses_n and_o aaron_n be_v two_o great_a blessing_n to_o the_o people_n in_o their_o day_n though_o they_o can_v not_o continue_v long_o by_o reason_n of_o death_n and_o if_o we_o will_v have_v magistrate_n and_o minister_n to_o be_v blessing_n we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o god_n will_v spirit_n they_o for_o the_o work_n he_o have_v call_v they_o to_o but_o then_o there_o be_v another_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o priesthood_n mortality_n and_o that_o be_v their_o succession_n they_o can_v not_o continue_v by_o reason_n of_o death_n yet_o they_o have_v their_o succession_n one_o after_o another_o and_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v that_o there_o may_v never_o want_v a_o succession_n of_o man_n to_o carry_v on_o the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v our_o care_n also_o as_o far_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o generation_n bring_v up_o for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n when_o another_o go_v away_o when_o abraham_n die_v his_o son_n isaac_n succeed_v he_o when_o aaron_n die_v eleazar_n succeed_v his_o father_n and_o take_v up_o the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o his_o father_n have_v lay_v down_o so_o it_o will_v be_v the_o happiness_n of_o family_n and_o a_o happiness_n to_o child_n that_o child_n will_v take_v up_o the_o work_n that_o their_o father_n have_v lay_v down_o by_o reason_n of_o death_n we_o live_v in_o a_o age_n wherein_o there_o be_v a_o great_a decay_n of_o godly_a minister_n the_o old_a generation_n wear_v off_o and_o many_o go_v to_o the_o dust_n and_o but_o few_o come_v in_o that_o have_v the_o same_o spirit_n the_o same_o grace_n and_o shine_v with_o the_o same_o light_n as_o their_o father_n do_v who_o be_v dead_a and_o go_v we_o ought_v all_o of_o we_o to_o pray_v as_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o as_o the_o harvest_n be_v great_a the_o lord_n will_v send_v forth_o labourer_n into_o his_o harvest_n a_o good_a succession_n speak_v a_o great_a favour_n of_o god_n to_o family_n church_n and_o nation_n see_v how_o careful_a moses_n be_v in_o that_o when_o god_n have_v tell_v he_o that_o he_o must_v die_v in_o numb_a 27._o 16._o let_v the_o lord_n the_o god_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o all_o flesh_n set_v a_o man_n over_o the_o congregation_n these_o be_v the_o word_n of_o moses_n when_o god_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o must_v die_v and_o be_v gather_v to_o his_o father_n and_o true_o so_o shall_v all_o godly_a parent_n and_o godly_a minister_n say_v let_v the_o god_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o all_o flesh_n bring_v in_o some_o to_o my_o family_n that_o may_v go_v out_o and_o in_o before_o my_o family_n and_o let_v the_o god_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o all_o flesh_n bring_v in_o some_o to_o his_o church_n to_o guide_v they_o and_o to_o teach_v they_o but_o now_o god_n he_o answer_v moses_n prayer_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o follow_a word_n and_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o moses_n take_v thou_o joshua_n the_o son_n of_o nun_n a_o man_n on_o who_o be_v the_o spirit_n lay_v thy_o hand_n upon_o he_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o mortality_n of_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o second_o point_n and_o general_a observation_n and_o that_o be_v the_o immortality_n of_o our_o great_a high_a priest_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n here_o our_o chief_a comfort_n lie_v that_o though_o all_o mankind_n die_v and_o be_v not_o suffer_v to_o continue_v by_o reason_n of_o death_n but_o this_o man_n because_o he_o ever_o live_v have_v a_o unchangeable_a priesthood_n now_o what_o be_v speak_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n of_o his_o abide_n for_o ever_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v and_o apply_v to_o he_o as_o man_n as_o he_o be_v man_n god-man_n and_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n as_o he_o be_v take_v from_o among_o man_n to_o stand_v for_o man_n in_o thing_n pertain_v to_o god_n and_o so_o he_o be_v the_o same_o yesterday_o to_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o he_o continue_v for_o ever_o and_o say_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n abide_v in_o the_o house_n for_o ever_o john_n 8._o 37._o the_o servant_n abide_v not_o in_o the_o house_n but_o the_o son_n abide_v for_o ever_o the_o house_n of_o god_n have_v the_o son_n of_o god_n always_o there_o as_o their_o highpriest_n he_o be_v set_v over_o they_o the_o very_a adversary_n of_o christ_n acknowledge_v this_o joh._n 12._o 35._o the_o people_n answer_v he_o we_o have_v hear_v out_o of_o the_o law_n that_o christ_n abide_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v a_o stumble_n to_o they_o and_o therefore_o here_o lie_v the_o objection_n how_o be_v it_o say_v that_o christ_n abide_v for_o ever_o and_o live_v for_o ever_o when_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o die_v we_o read_v in_o matth._n 2._o 50._o that_o he_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n he_o die_v and_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n how_o be_v it_o then_o say_v that_o he_o abide_v for_o ever_o and_o live_v for_o ever_o as_o our_o highpriest_n i_o answer_v to_o that_o we_o must_v consider_v four_o thing_n to_o clear_v that_o objection_n first_o of_o all_o though_o christ_n do_v die_v for_o a_o time_n yet_o his_o death_n be_v not_o such_o a_o force_a death_n as_o man_n be_v but_o a_o voluntary_a death_n he_o lay_v it_o down_o and_o take_v it_o up_o again_o of_o himself_o so_o you_o have_v it_o in_o john_n 10_o 17_o 18._o therefore_o do_v the_o father_n love_v i_o because_o i_o lay_v down_o my_o life_n that_o i_o may_v take_v it_o again_o no_o man_n take_v it_o from_o i_o but_o i_o lay_v it_o down_o of_o myself_o i_o have_v power_n to_o lay_v it_o down_o and_o i_o have_v power_n to_o take_v it_o again_o here_o you_o see_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o die_v as_o we_o die_v by_o a_o force_a death_n he_o lay_v it_o down_o and_o he_o take_v it_o up_o again_o when_o he_o please_v 2._o though_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o to_o his_o humanity_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o death_n yet_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v hold_v of_o death_n or_o the_o grave_n act_v 2._o 24._o why_o not_o possible_a you_o see_v that_o man_n be_v hold_v of_o death_n thousand_o of_o year_n and_o they_o be_v not_o rise_v to_o this_o day_n why_o not_o possible_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v hold_v of_o death_n why_o because_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v hypostatical_o unite_v to_o the_o (null)_o nature_n god_n

from_o the_o word_n that_o we_o must_v always_o keep_v close_o to_o scripture-testimony_n to_o take_v up_o that_o which_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o must_v take_v it_o up_o on_o scripture-testimony_n and_o not_o by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o 18_o verse_n for_o there_o be_v very_o a_o disannul_n of_o the_o commandment_n go_v before_o a_fw-la disannulling_n and_o then_o he_o show_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o that_o be_v for_o the_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n thereof_o first_o say_v he_o very_o there_o be_v a_o command_n go_v before_o what_o command_n be_v that_o why_o the_o command_n of_o the_o levitical-way_n of_o worship_n which_o do_v go_v before_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v the_o meaning_n for_o the_o law_n as_o to_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o it_o be_v before_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v before_o christ_n come_v to_o be_v our_o spiritual_a highpriest_n and_o sacrifice_n though_o he_o be_v promise_v before_o yet_o it_o be_v before_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o all_o those_o thing_n be_v but_o type_n and_o shadow_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n of_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o come_v as_o the_o shadow_n sometime_o go_v before_o the_o body_n so_o do_v the_o law_n come_v before_o christ_n the_o levitical_a priesthood_n go_v before_o the_o evangelical_n priesthood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o say_v the_o apostle_n there_o be_v a_o disannul_n of_o the_o command_n go_v before_o disannul_v what_o be_v that_o why_o it_o be_v a_o abrogate_a and_o make_v void_a so_o as_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o this_o command_n to_o that_o kind_a of_o worship_n that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o offer_v those_o sacrifice_n the_o command_n of_o those_o sacrifice_n be_v disannul_v he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o observe_v those_o rite_n those_o manifold_a ceremony_n for_o the_o command_n be_v disannul_v and_o make_v void_a by_o the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n pray_v attend_v to_o those_o thing_n for_o it_o may_v be_v of_o use_n to_o they_o that_o be_v studious_a to_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o the_o scripture_n the_o apostle_n give_v the_o reason_n why_o there_o be_v a_o disannul_n of_o the_o command_n and_o law_n of_o the_o old_a way_n of_o worship_n what_o reason_n why_o say_v he_o because_o of_o the_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n of_o it_o the_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n of_o all_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n and_o service_n be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n remove_v it_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n that_o be_v if_o a_o man_n do_v spend_v all_o his_o day_n in_o that_o kind_n of_o worship_n and_o service_n without_o look_v beyond_o it_o it_o profit_v nothing_o it_o be_v not_o able_a to_o effect_v the_o great_a thing_n the_o soul_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o and_o therefore_o in_o gal._n 4._o 9_o the_o apostle_n call_v they_o weak_a and_o beggarly_a element_n you_o see_v what_o he_o call_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v once_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n but_o he_o so_o call_v they_o in_o respect_n of_o gospel_n dispensation_n so_o here_o they_o be_v weak_a and_o unprofitable_a there_o be_v several_a thing_n in_o scripture_n that_o be_v say_v not_o to_o profit_v we_o as_o first_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n see_v john_n 6._o 13._o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o he_o speak_v it_o in_o reference_n to_o his_o doctrine_n the_o flesh_n that_o be_v the_o fleshly_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n as_o those_o people_n the_o papist_n who_o count_v themselves_o the_o only_a wise_a people_n it_o profit_v nothing_o to_o know_v christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n though_o if_o they_o be_v certain_a they_o can_v lie_v in_o the_o manger_n where_o christ_n lie_v and_o kiss_v the_o cross_n and_o go_v to_o the_o sepulchre_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v only_o filthy_a knowledge_n and_o profit_v nothing_o so_o again_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o bodily_a exercise_n profit_v little_a 1_o tim._n 4._o 8._o for_o bodily_a exercise_n profit_v little_a but_o godliness_n be_v profitable_a unto_o all_o thing_n have_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o life_n that_o now_o be_v and_o of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v bodily_a exercise_n profit_v nothing_o some_o have_v no_o other_o religion_n but_o what_o lie_v in_o bodily_a exercise_n three_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o meat_n profit_v nothing_o see_v heb._n 13._o 9_o it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n to_o have_v the_o heart_n establish_v with_o grace_n and_o not_o with_o meat_n which_o have_v not_o profit_v they_o that_o have_v be_v occupy_v therein_o the_o jew_n of_o old_a make_v a_o great_a distinction_n about_o meat_n so_o the_o papist_n now_o hold_v it_o a_o great_a sin_n to_o eat_v meat_n in_o lent_n and_o to_o eat_v flesh_n on_o wednesdays_n and_o friday_n but_o say_v the_o apostle_n this_o profit_v nothing_o this_o distinction_n of_o meat_n profit_v nothing_o to_o the_o soul_n now_o say_v the_o apostle_n here_o in_o the_o text_n the_o commandment_n be_v disannul_v for_o the_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n of_o it_o how_o be_v that_o why_o if_o man_n go_v no_o further_o in_o the_o law_n than_o bring_v a_o lamb_n or_o a_o bullock_n for_o a_o sacrifice_n go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n to_o worship_n and_o be_v very_o strict_a in_o observe_v all_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n these_o thing_n profit_v nothing_o the_o lord_n disannule_v the_o commandment_n concern_v all_o the_o jewish_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n for_o the_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n in_o they_o but_o than_o you_o will_v say_v why_o do_v god_n appoint_v they_o see_v they_o be_v weak_a and_o unprofitable_a i_o answer_v though_o they_o be_v weak_a and_o unprofitable_a as_o to_o reach_v the_o main_a end_n of_o man_n salvation_n yet_o god_n have_v other_o holy_a end_n in_o appoint_v of_o they_o first_o of_o all_o to_o keep_v his_o child_n and_o people_n under_o obedience_n until_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n do_v come_v that_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n for_o this_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o all_o mankind_n be_v addict_v to_o worship_n a_o deity_n some_o god_n or_o other_o or_o something_o that_o they_o make_v their_o god_n all_o the_o heathen_a worshipper_n be_v for_o worship_v some_o god_n or_o other_o and_o if_o god_n have_v leave_v this_o people_n without_o divine_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n they_o will_v have_v run_v into_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o idolatrous_a heathen_n which_o be_v worse_o god_n do_v by_o his_o child_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n as_o parent_n do_v with_o their_o child_n they_o set_v they_o about_o thing_n that_o be_v little_a worth_n or_o of_o little_a effect_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o do_v worse_o so_o god_n leave_v his_o people_n the_o divine_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o run_v into_o heathenish_a idolatry_n second_o god_n have_v still_o a_o further_a end_n and_o that_o be_v though_o they_o be_v not_o perfect_a of_o themselves_o yet_o by_o this_o they_o be_v direct_v to_o look_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o priesthood_n and_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o though_o they_o be_v no_o more_o perfect_v by_o they_o than_o the_o body_n be_v by_o the_o shadow_n yet_o the_o shadow_n show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o body_n so_o those_o thing_n be_v weak_a and_o unprofitable_a in_o themselves_o but_o they_o lead_v to_o christ_n the_o substance_n so_o they_o be_v of_o holy_a use_n to_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o elect_a of_o god_n but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o application_n of_o this_o point_n and_o so_o to_o pass_v on_o if_o this_o be_v so_o that_o all_o the_o moysaicall_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n be_v weak_a and_o imperfect_a and_o god_n for_o that_o reason_n abolish_v they_o because_o they_o can_v not_o reach_v the_o main_a end_n of_o man_n happiness_n then_o here_o you_o may_v see_v the_o folly_n of_o those_o man_n that_o set_v up_o these_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n and_o (null)_o invention_n in_o part_n of_o their_o worship_n if_o god_n own_o institution_n be_v weak_a and_o unprofitable_a what_o be_v man_n invention_n be_v their_o priestly_a vestment_n profitable_a their_o cross_n and_o cringing_n profitable_a what_o profit_n be_v there_o in_o bow_v the_o knee_n at_o the_o word_n jesus_n what_o profit_n be_v there_o in_o these_o thing_n and_o yet_o many_o man_n glory_n in_o these_o thing_n and_o magnify_v they_o above_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n some_o say_v these_o thing_n be_v edify_v i_o remember_v a_o dispute_n between_o a_o martyr_n and_o a_o popish_a priest_n the_o martyr_n object_v that_o he_o can_v not_o comply_v with_o that_o kind_n of_o worship_n because_o of_o their_o many_o ceremony_n say_v
