he_o be_v qualify_v like_o a_o gentleman_n be_v this_o to_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n first_o or_o last_o or_o not_o at_o all_o woe_n to_o the_o security_n woe_n to_o the_o stubbornness_n woe_n to_o the_o drowsiness_n of_o this_o age_n the_o thief_n come_v at_o midnight_n and_o we_o sleep_v till_o the_o dawn_n of_o the_o day_n we_o let_v in_o sathan_n before_o we_o bid_v he_o avoid_v

may_v have_v know_v a_o thousand_o thing_n more_o than_o you_o do_v if_o you_o have_v begin_v when_o solomon_n teach_v you_o god_n will_v not_o always_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n christ_n will_v not_o

now_o we_o have_v a_o prophet_n shall_v say_v we_o have_v a_o prophet_n but_o we_o entertain_v he_o like_o the_o gergesite_n so_o god_n send_v he_o away_o from_o we_o like_o jonah_n to_o the_o

time_n be_v only_o thou_o and_o thou_o may_v repent_v in_o that_o but_o anon_o that_o will_v be_v go_v too_o therefore_o as_o samuel_n begin_v to_o serve_v god_n in_o his_o minority_n as_o timothy_n read_v the_o scripture_n in_o his_o childhood_n and_o john_n grow_v in_o spirit_n as_o he_o rypen_v in_o year_n so_o whether_o thou_o be_v old_a or_o young_a thy_o repentance_n can_v come_v too_o

age_n come_v upon_o youth_n death_n come_v upon_o age_n with_o such_o a_o swift_a sail_n that_o if_o all_o our_o minute_n be_v spend_v in_o mortify_v ourselves_o yet_o our_o glass_n will_v be_v run_v

minister_v unto_o he_o 8._o so_o we_o so_o soon_o as_o christ_n have_v do_v any_o thing_n for_o we_o shall_v rise_v up_o immediate_o to_o serve_v he_o 1._o and_o as_o annah_n when_o she_o have_v receive_v a_o son_n from_o god_n do_v consecrate_v he_o to_o god_n again_o so_o whatsoever_o we_o receive_v of_o god_n we_o must_v give_v it_o to_o god_n again_o that_o be_v use_v it_o to_o his_o glory_n and_o make_v it_o one_o of_o our_o mean_n to_o serve_v he_o for_o all_o thing_n which_o we_o receive_v in_o this_o life_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o lest_o we_o shall_v want_v any_o mean_n to_o serve_v god_n then_o because_o the_o apostle_n require_v thank_n for_o all_o thing_n i_o show_v you_o that_o he_o be_v not_o thankful_a before_o god_n which_o thank_v he_o only_o for_o his_o benefit_n but_o he_o be_v thankful_a indeed_o which_o thank_v he_o for_o his_o chastisement_n it_o may_v be_v while_o the_o lord_n give_v many_o will_v say_v bless_a be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n take_v who_o will_v say_v bless_v be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o the_o lord_n do_v take_v 1._o job_n say_v bless_a be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v one_o example_n then_o of_o paul_n doctrine_n which_o in_o all_o thing_n give_v thanks_n the_o prophet_n david_n say_v 24._o thy_o staff_n and_o thy_o rod_n have_v comfort_v i_o there_o be_v another_o example_n of_o paul_n doctrine_n which_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n for_o his_o rod_n for_o a_o obedient_a child_n do_v not_o only_o kiss_v the_o hand_n which_o give_v but_o the_o rod_n which_o beat_v after_o speak_v of_o these_o word_n quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n i_o show_v you_o that_o spirit_n do_v signify_v the_o gift_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n 3._o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o three_o of_o matthew_n be_v liken_v to_o fire_n and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v well_o quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n because_o fire_n may_v be_v quench_v here_o i_o take_v occasion_n to_o speak_v of_o zeal_n which_o be_v the_o fire_n of_o the_o spirit_n 11._o show_v you_o that_o god_n be_v please_v with_o zeal_n as_o man_n be_v please_v with_o love_n 11._o but_o as_o christ_n do_v baptize_v with_o fire_n so_o john_n do_v baptize_v with_o water_n and_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v with_o fire_n 2._o so_o he_o do_v descend_v with_o wind_n that_o cool_v fire_n show_v that_o our_o zeal_n shall_v be_v a_o temperate_a zeal_n 1._o as_o our_o master_n be_v esaiah_n be_v command_v to_o cry_v but_o not_o to_o roar_v the_o jew_n may_v not_o gather_v too_o much_o manna_n 18_o no_o more_o than_o they_o may_v gather_v too_o little_a as_o there_o be_v a_o measure_n in_o knowledge_n so_o there_o be_v a_o measure_n in_o zeal_n 3._o that_o be_v be_v zealous_a according_a to_o discretion_n as_o paul_n say_v be_v wise_a according_a to_o sobriety_n 28_o the_o disciple_n be_v commend_v for_o their_o zeal_n when_o they_o leave_v all_o to_o follow_v christ_n but_o christ_n reproove_v they_o for_o their_o zeal_n when_o they_o will_v pray_v for_o fire_n from_o heaven_n to_o consume_v the_o samaritan_n therefore_o zeal_n and_o discretion_n unite_v together_o 55._o be_v like_a unto_o the_o two_o lion_n which_o support_v the_o throne_n of_o solomon_n 20._o and_o he_o which_o have_v they_o both_o be_v like_o moses_n for_o his_o mildness_n &_o like_o phineas_n for_o his_o fervency_n therefore_o as_o wine_n be_v temper_v with_o water_n so_o let_v discretion_n temper_v zeal_n but_o i_o need_v not_o bring_v water_n to_o quench_v that_o fire_n which_o be_v out_o already_o i_o will_v rather_o i_o can_v say_v of_o you_o you_o be_v too_o zealous_a 22_o as_o paul_n tell_v the_o athenian_n they_o be_v too_o superstitious_a but_o our_o sickness_n be_v not_o a_o hot_a sickness_n but_o a_o cold_a sickness_n the_o hot_a body_n be_v distemper_v but_o the_o cold_a body_n be_v dead_a zeal_n be_v never_o infamous_a before_o our_o day_n the_o papist_n be_v commend_v if_o they_o be_v zealous_a but_o the_o protestant_n if_o he_o be_v zealous_a be_v hold_v in_o derision_n then_o i_o show_v you_o how_o the_o spirit_n be_v quench_v as_o a_o man_n do_v quench_v his_o reason_n with_o overmuch_o wine_n and_o therefore_o we_o say_v when_o the_o wine_n be_v in_o the_o wit_n be_v out_o because_o before_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v reason_n and_o now_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v none_o so_o our_o zeal_n and_o our_o faith_n and_o our_o love_n be_v quench_v with_o sin_n every_o vain_a thought_n and_o every_o idle_a word_n and_o every_o wicked_a deed_n be_v like_o so_o many_o drop_n to_o quench_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o the_o business_n of_o this_o world_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o the_o care_n of_o the_o mind_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o long_a delay_n that_o be_v not_o ply_v the_o motion_n when_o it_o come_v but_o cross_v the_o good_a thought_n with_o bad_a thought_n and_o do_v a_o thing_n when_o the_o spirit_n say_v do_v it_o not_o as_o achab_n go_v to_o battle_n after_o he_o be_v forbid_v sometime_o a_o man_n shall_v feel_v himself_o stir_v to_o a_o good_a work_n as_o though_o he_o be_v lead_v to_o it_o by_o the_o hand_n and_o again_o he_o shall_v be_v fright_v from_o some_o evil_a thing_n as_o though_o he_o be_v reproove_v in_o his_o ear_n then_o if_o he_o resist_v he_o shall_v straight_o feel_v the_o spirit_n go_v out_o of_o he_o and_o hear_v a_o voice_n pronounce_v he_o guilty_a and_o he_o shall_v hardly_o recover_v his_o peace_n again_o therefore_o paul_n say_v 30._o grieve_v not_o the_o spirit_n show_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v often_o grieve_a before_o it_o be_v quench_v and_o that_o when_o a_o man_n begin_v to_o grieve_v and_o check_v and_o persecute_v the_o spirit_n light_o he_o never_o cease_v until_o he_o have_v quench_v it_o that_o be_v until_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v no_o spirit_n at_o all_o but_o walk_v like_o a_o lump_n of_o flesh_n after_o quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n follow_v despise_v not_o prophesy_v in_o the_o end_n of_o this_o epistle_n paul_n speak_v like_o a_o father_n which_o be_v come_v to_o the_o

as_o though_o he_o be_v set_v to_o give_v good_a counsel_n and_o have_v not_o leisure_n to_o speak_v that_o he_o will_v send_v the_o thessalonian_o a_o brief_a of_o his_o mind_n which_o their_o meditation_n shall_v after_o amplify_v &_o expound_v unto_o they_o his_o first_o advice_n be_v quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v when_o a_o good_a motion_n come_v welcome_v it_o like_o a_o

because_o prophesy_v do_v kindle_v it_o the_o three_o admonition_n teach_v how_o to_o make_v fruit_n of_o the_o second_o try_v the_o doctrine_n of_o they_o which_o prophecy_n and_o thou_o shall_v not_o believe_v error_n for_o truth_n but_o hold_v the_o best_a the_o four_o admonition_n be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o and_o it_o come_v last_o because_o it_o be_v long_a in_o learning_n that_o be_v

perfect_a as_o a_o man_n can_v be_v in_o this_o sinful_a life_n put_v all_o these_o together_o and_o it_o be_v as_o if_o paul_n shall_v say_v quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n by_o despise_v of_o prophesy_v neither_o despise_v prophesy_v because_o all_o do_v no_o prophecy_n alike_o but_o rather_o when_o you_o hear_v some_o preach_v one_o way_n and_o some_o another_o when_o you_o see_v some_o follow_v he_o and_o other_o follow_v he_o do_v you_o try_v the_o doctrine_n by_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o man_n of_o beroea_n do_v 11._o and_o choose_v that_o which_o be_v best_a and_o sound_a
