hand_n to_o give_v it_o to_o thou_o &_o to_o continue_v it_o and_o to_o restore_v it_o when_o it_o be_v take_v from_o thou_o this_o consideration_n be_v of_o great_a moment_n to_o preserve_v we_o not_o to_o offend_v this_o god_n for_o the_o pleasure_n of_o any_o potentate_n in_o the_o world_n since_o all_o the_o world_n can_v give_v i_o life_n nor_o continue_v life_n and_o when_o i_o be_o dead_a and_o life_n be_v go_v none_o in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n can_v restore_v i_o to_o life_n except_o god_n do_v it_o why_o then_o shall_v i_o not_o be_v careful_a that_o i_o offend_v not_o this_o god_n nay_o far_o be_v it_o from_o i_o for_o to_o do_v it_o for_o any_o flesh_n in_o the_o world_n o_o let_v we_o be_v careful_a that_o we_o provoke_v not_o this_o good_a god_n to_o wrath_n who_o have_v give_v we_o life_n that_o in_o his_o wrath_n we_o provoke_v he_o not_o to_o take_v it_o from_o we_o again_o see_v that_o god_n only_o give_v it_o i_o to_o honour_v he_o be_o i_o not_o bind_v to_o consecrate_v my_o life_n to_o he_o alone_o &_o not_o to_o obey_v any_o creature_n to_o disobey_v he_o it_o be_v not_o my_o father_n or_o mother_n that_o give_v i_o life_n but_o the_o lord_n only_o who_o be_v the_o lord_n only_o who_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n he_o have_v put_v life_n into_o i_o therefore_o neither_o for_o father_n nor_o mother_n shall_v i_o give_v my_o life_n otherwise_o then_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n o_o but_o some_o may_v say_v objection_n if_o i_o do_v so_o &_o so_o these_o man_n will_v take_v away_o my_o life_n from_o i_o have_v they_o power_n to_o do_v it_o without_o god_n say_v not_o christ_n 22._o fear_v not_o they_o which_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n but_o rather_o fear_v he_o which_o can_v cast_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n into_o hell_n fire_n and_o he_o say_v again_o be_v not_o there_o two_o sparrow_n sell_v for_o a_o farthing_n and_o yet_o not_o one_o of_o they_o fall_v on_o the_o ground_n without_o the_o providence_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n how_o much_o better_o be_v you_o then_o many_o sparrow_n if_o a_o sparrow_n can_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n nor_o any_o man_n can_v take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o it_o without_o god_n providence_n than_o sure_o all_o the_o tyrant_n of_o the_o world_n can_v take_v away_o thy_o life_n except_o the_o lord_n suffer_v they_o the_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o give_v a_o sweet_a warning_n to_o his_o disciple_n when_o he_o say_v to_o they_o rise_v &_o let_v we_o go_v to_o judea_n again_o &_o his_o disciple_n say_v unto_o he_o master_n the_o jew_n of_o late_o seek_v to_o stone_n thou_o &_o go_v thou_o then_o thither_o they_o think_v it_o a_o hard_a say_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o shall_v go_v thither_o again_o but_o jesus_n answer_v they_o &_o say_v be_v there_o not_o 12._o hour_n in_o the_o day_n if_o any_o man_n walk_v in_o the_o day_n he_o stumble_v not_o because_o he_o have_v the_o light_n &_o see_v the_o light_n of_o this_o world_n question_n but_o if_o a_o man_n walk_v in_o the_o night_n he_o stumble_v because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o he_o what_o mean_v christ_n by_o this_o he_o mean_v by_o this_o to_o tell_v they_o that_o as_o long_o as_o the_o day_n of_o man_n life_n do_v last_o which_o have_v a_o period_n set_v so_o long_o he_o go_v without_o fear_n as_o he_o that_o walk_v in_o the_o day_n fear_v not_o for_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o he_o but_o if_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o night_n that_o be_v if_o the_o time_n appoint_v of_o their_o life_n be_v at_o a_o end_n he_o must_v fall_v then_o let_v we_o thereby_o understand_v that_o man_n may_v walk_v in_o their_o lawful_a calling_n without_o fear_n for_o all_o the_o world_n can_v make_v he_o stumble_v if_o god_n give_v they_o not_o leave_v as_o christ_n say_v concern_v herod_n tell_v that_o fox_n i_o must_v walk_v to_o day_n &_o to_o morrow_n until_o the_o three_o day_n which_o be_v appoint_v of_o god_n for_o i_o so_o that_o we_o may_v see_v that_o none_o can_v give_v we_o life_n but_o god_n so_o in_o the_o last_o place_n when_o we_o be_v dead_a none_o can_v restore_v our_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o life_n again_o but_o god_n only_o &_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o consecrate_v our_o life_n to_o any_o but_o to_o god_n alone_o these_o consideration_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v lay_v up_o in_o our_o heart_n beside_o these_o consideration_n of_o god_n quicken_a all_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o especial_a ground_n of_o our_o faith_n 4.17_o as_o it_o be_v write_v concern_v abraham_n i_o have_v make_v thou_o a_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n before_o god_n &_o he_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o god_n even_o that_o god_n that_o quicken_v the_o dead_a and_o call_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o as_o though_o they_o be_v and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v abraham_n to_o walk_v steadfast_o with_o god_n because_o he_o know_v as_o the_o apostle_n boast_v say_v i_o be_o persuade_v that_o neither_o life_n nor_o death_n nor_o any_o other_o creature_n can_v separate_v i_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n 8._o death_n be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v i_o under_o the_o power_n of_o it_o for_o christ_n by_o death_n have_v overcome_v death_n as_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o which_o raise_v christ_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o your_o mortal_a body_n even_o he_o that_o raise_v the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v likewise_o raise_v your_o mortal_a body_n by_o the_o same_o spirit_n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o hope_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n quicken_v all_o thing_n and_o this_o make_v abraham_n to_o be_v obedient_a &_o ready_a to_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n isaac_n for_o he_o know_v that_o notwithstanding_o god_n will_v not_o fail_v to_o make_v good_a what_o he_o have_v promise_v in_o the_o person_n of_o isaac_n to_o conclude_v this_o point_n at_o this_o time_n there_o be_v manifold_a consideration_n of_o this_o argument_n to_o strengthen_v all_o pastor_n especial_o in_o their_o call_n that_o they_o pervert_v not_o god_n word_n for_o any_o man_n pleasure_n in_o the_o world_n for_o if_o i_o look_v to_o their_o life_n that_o will_v oppress_v i_o or_o if_o i_o shall_v look_v to_o my_o own_o life_n i_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v a_o great_a terror_n to_o keep_v i_o from_o displease_v god_n in_o my_o call_n for_o any_o man_n pleasure_n first_o if_o i_o consider_v their_o life_n they_o have_v it_o from_o god_n and_o as_o their_o life_n be_v from_o god_n so_o be_v all_o their_o work_n power_n that_o they_o can_v stir_v a_o foot_n further_o than_o it_o please_v god_n for_o god_n can_v cut_v off_o their_o day_n in_o a_o instant_n be_v it_o not_o then_o a_o vain_a thing_n to_o fear_v man_n who_o breath_n be_v in_o his_o nostril_n it_o be_v so_o easy_a a_o matter_n for_o god_n to_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o all_o flesh_n how_o dare_v i_o then_o sin_n against_o god_n to_o obey_v any_o man_n second_o if_o i_o consider_v my_o own_o life_n i_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o obey_v man_n and_o to_o sin_n against_o god_n see_v none_o can_v take_v my_o life_n away_o but_o god_n and_o none_o can_v give_v it_o i_o but_o he_o which_o give_v it_o therefore_o i_o shall_v only_o fear_v he_o who_o give_v i_o life_n and_o can_v take_v it_o from_o i_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o this_o particular_a consideration_n of_o god_n who_o quicken_v all_o thing_n lay_v a_o strong_a ground_n to_o all_o pastor_n &_o teacher_n for_o to_o harken_v unto_o this_o charge_n that_o they_o violate_v not_o this_o commandment_n sermon_n of_o this_o great_a grave_n &_o weighty_a conclusion_n belove_v in_o the_o lord_n wherewithal_o the_o apostle_n end_v his_o doctrine_n which_o concern_v the_o order_n of_o the_o affair_n of_o god_n house_n aright_o according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n we_o begin_v to_o speak_v to_o you_o the_o last_o time_n and_o we_o do_v show_v you_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n do_v add_v this_o so_o weighty_a &_o grave_a charge_n and_o commandment_n to_o timothy_n a_o man_n otherwise_o of_o excellent_a gift_n it_o be_v to_o let_v we_o see_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o of_o humane_a invention_n but_o of_o divine_a authority_n they_o be_v thing_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v dispense_v with_o all_o as_o man_n may_v dispense_v with_o the_o precept_n of_o man_n for_o they_o be_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o live_a god_n otherwise_o the_o apostle_n will_v never_o have_v charge_v timothy_n and_o in_o he_o all_o pastor_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n jesus_n to_o

god_n that_o they_o have_v their_o immortality_n and_o therefore_o the_o objection_n take_v not_o away_o this_o truth_n that_o god_n be_v only_o immortal_a again_o observe_v this_o that_o although_o the_o lord_n give_v immortality_n to_o my_o soul_n and_o unto_o angel_n yet_o neither_o man_n nor_o angel_n can_v give_v immortality_n to_o any_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n god_n only_o be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o therefore_o he_o only_o have_v immortality_n because_o he_o only_o have_v it_o of_o himself_o and_o because_o he_o only_o be_v able_a to_o give_v it_o to_o other_o therefore_o must_v he_o needs_o continue_v to_o be_v immortal_a that_o have_v the_o only_a keep_n of_o it_o himself_o and_o dispense_v the_o same_o to_o other_o at_o his_o pleasure_n so_o that_o in_o this_o point_n god_n be_v only_o happy_a for_o man_n may_v beget_v child_n but_o we_o can_v make_v they_o immortal_a only_o the_o lord_n must_v do_v this_o nay_o we_o can_v make_v ourselus_o immortal_a do_v we_o what_o we_o can_v read_v psalm_n 43._o and_o you_o may_v see_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n tax_v the_o miserable_a vanity_n of_o man_n that_o think_v their_o name_n great_a on_o earth_n and_o yet_o he_o say_v no_o man_n can_v redeem_v his_o brother_n from_o death_n all_o must_v go_v to_o the_o grave_n the_o rich_a dye_n aswell_o as_o the_o poor_a and_o yet_o vain_a man_n he_o will_v call_v his_o land_n by_o his_o own_o name_n and_o all_o be_v but_o in_o vain_a so_o that_o this_o be_v prove_v that_o god_n be_v only_o bless_v we_o know_v that_o the_o devil_n do_v speak_v true_a to_o god_n concern_v job_n when_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o he_o have_v thou_o not_o consider_v my_o servant_n job_n who_o be_v a_o righteous_a man_n that_o do_v no_o evil_a but_o good_a what_o say_v the_o devil_n to_o god_n skin_n for_o skin_n and_o all_o that_o a_o man_n have_v will_n a_o man_n give_v for_o his_o life_n whereas_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v stretch_v forth_o against_o job_n in_o his_o child_n &_o in_o his_o estate_n yet_o it_o can_v not_o make_v job_n to_o blaspheme_v god_n but_o the_o devil_n think_v that_o if_o god_n will_v stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n upon_o his_o own_o person_n that_o it_o will_v make_v he_o to_o blaspheme_v god_n a_o man_n will_v part_v with_o any_o thing_n so_o as_o he_o may_v have_v his_o life_n for_o what_o be_v riches_n unto_o a_o man_n if_o he_o can_v enjoy_v they_o without_o life_n there_o be_v no_o conceit_n of_o happiness_n let_v man_n therefore_o learn_v this_o that_o their_o life_n and_o the_o continuance_n of_o their_o life_n &_o the_o eternity_n of_o their_o life_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n alone_o and_o since_o it_o be_v so_o that_o he_o only_o can_v give_v eternal_a life_n why_o then_o shall_v i_o for_o the_o pleasure_n of_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n offend_v this_o god_n and_o make_v he_o to_o be_v my_o enemy_n can_v any_o prince_n in_o the_o world_n give_v i_o eternal_a life_n but_o he_o only_o why_o then_o shall_v i_o for_o the_o pleasure_n of_o any_o man_n offend_v he_o in_o who_o my_o life_n stand_v unless_o i_o care_v not_o what_o become_v of_o i_o whether_o i_o be_v cast_v away_o into_o hell_n or_o whether_o i_o have_v eternal_a life_n if_o i_o desire_v life_n let_v i_o then_o make_v conscience_n not_o to_o grieve_v this_o good_a god_n since_o he_o only_o can_v give_v life_n and_o he_o only_o can_v take_v it_o away_o this_o be_v still_o but_o one_o part_n of_o his_o felicity_n and_o of_o our_o felicity_n in_o he_o if_o we_o obey_v he_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o give_v eternal_a life_n unto_o we_o and_o they_o that_o remember_v not_o this_o promise_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o certainlye_o that_o man_n cannott_n walk_v as_o a_o christian_a to_o come_v then_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o 2._o point_n of_o the_o felicity_n of_o god_n which_o be_v thus_o set_v down_o be_v dwell_v in_o that_o light_n which_o no_o man_n can_v attain_v unto_o i_o will_v consider_v two_o thing_n in_o these_o word_n first_o that_o he_o dwell_v in_o the_o light_n second_o he_o declare_v what_o manner_n of_o light_a this_o be_v it_o be_v such_o a_o light_n as_o no_o man_n can_v approach_v unto_o the_o first_o show_v the_o infinite_a glory_n of_o god_n in_o that_o the_o very_a place_n of_o his_o habitation_n be_v light_v itself_o and_o such_o a_o light_n as_o the_o sun_n can_v give_v it_o be_v a_o light_n surpass_v all_o create_a light_n yea_o this_o light_n come_v from_o god_n himself_o 1_o john_n god_n be_v light_n if_o any_o man_n say_v he_o have_v fellowship_n with_o god_n and_o walk_v in_o darkness_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n for_o god_n be_v light_n and_o they_o which_o have_v fellowshich_v with_o god_n walk_v in_o the_o light_n and_o therefore_o those_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n they_o be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o light_n and_o god_n be_v say_v to_o call_v we_o out_o of_o darkness_n into_o his_o marvellous_a light_n that_o be_v god_n call_v we_o from_o death_n to_o life_n so_o he_o do_v call_v we_o from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o this_o be_v the_o second_o part_n of_o our_o felicity_n for_o in_o this_o we_o must_v be_v like_o god_n in_o who_o be_v no_o darkness_n for_o when_o god_n shall_v translate_v our_o vile_a body_n unto_o his_o glorious_a light_n then_o shall_v the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v inferior_a to_o this_o bright_a shine_a light_n of_o this_o mortal_a flesh_n what_o glorious_a creature_n shall_v we_o be_v in_o that_o day_n when_o this_o our_o mortal_a flesh_n shall_v not_o only_o be_v make_v immortal_a but_o our_o body_n shall_v be_v raise_v in_o glory_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o be_v sow_v in_o weakness_n but_o they_o shall_v be_v raise_v in_o glory_n glorious_a body_n even_o like_a unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o be_v now_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n so_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o man_n body_n that_o make_v it_o defective_a it_o shall_v then_o be_v take_v away_o and_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n himself_o shall_v be_v put_v upon_o our_o body_n in_o that_o day_n so_o this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v of_o we_o that_o god_n dwell_v in_o the_o light_n what_o use_n shall_v we_o make_v of_o this_o it_o shall_v teach_v we_o where_o to_o lay_v the_o blame_n if_o we_o see_v not_o god_n for_o in_o the_o dark_a we_o can_v see_v nothing_o but_o in_o the_o light_n we_o can_v see_v any_o thing_n now_o if_o thou_o can_v not_o see_v god_n it_o be_v not_o because_o god_n be_v in_o darkness_n for_o god_n dwell_v in_o the_o light_n something_o therefore_o must_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o thou_o can_v not_o see_v he_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v one_o of_o these_o two_o first_o if_o thou_o see_v not_o god_n at_o all_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o thou_o be_v a_o child_n of_o darkness_n and_o the_o light_n of_o life_n be_v never_o put_v into_o thy_o soul_n therefore_o the_o wicked_a be_v say_v to_o be_v of_o they_o which_o know_v not_o god_n and_o what_o wonder_n be_v it_o they_o do_v not_o know_v he_o since_o they_o be_v never_o call_v out_o of_o darkness_n to_o the_o light_n of_o god_n the_o want_n of_o this_o call_n out_o of_o darkness_n be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o can_v see_v nor_o know_v this_o god_n as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o a_o dark_a dungeon_n or_o prison_n that_o have_v no_o window_n in_o it_o to_o show_v light_n he_o can_v see_v such_o a_o man_n in_o such_o a_o place_n can_v see_v the_o sun_n for_o until_o he_o be_v take_v out_o of_o that_o dark_a place_n he_o can_v see_v any_o thing_n so_o until_o man_n be_v take_v out_o of_o that_o beastly_a blindness_n wherein_o he_o be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v he_o can_v see_v god_n but_o the_o second_o thing_n will_v bring_v we_o to_o a_o non_fw-la plus_fw-la in_o this_o point_n for_o suppose_v i_o be_v call_v out_o of_o darkness_n what_o will_v that_o help_v i_o what_o the_o better_a be_o i_o for_o this_o call_n if_o i_o can_v approach_v to_o this_o light_n this_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n that_o we_o be_v to_o mark_v in_o the_o felicity_n of_o god_n that_o beside_o his_o dwell_n in_o the_o light_n he_o dwell_v in_o such_o a_o glorious_a light_n as_o be_v unspeakable_a which_o no_o man_n can_v approach_v unto_o which_o show_v the_o unspeakable_a glory_n of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n but_o than_o it_o may_v be_v object_v what_o avail_v this_o light_n of_o god_n since_o we_o cannott_n approach_v unto_o it_o to_o understand_v this_o more_o clear_o the_o word_n follow_v make_v this_o doubt_n great_a where_o he_o say_v
