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 end_n of_o his_o life_n who_o because_o he_o have_v but_o a_o while_n to_o speak_v heap_v his_o lesson_n together_o which_o he_o will_v have_v his_o son_n remember_v when_o he_o be_v go_v so_o paul_n 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 friend_n and_o cross_v it_o not_o with_o thy_o lust_n the_o second_o admonition_n teach_v how_o the_o first_o shall_v be_v keep_v despise_v not_o prophesy_v and_o the_o spirit_n will_v not_o quench_v 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 abstain_v from_o all_o appearance_n of_o evil_a this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o for_o he_o which_o can_v abstain_v not_o only_o from_o evil_n but_o from_o the_o appearance_n of_o evil_a be_v so_o 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 and_o true_a have_v always_o such_o a_o eye_n to_o the_o truth_n that_o you_o abstain_v from_o all_o appearance_n of_o error_n so_o jealous_a the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v have_v we_o of_o our_o faith_n that_o we_o set_v no_o article_n upon_o our_o religion_n but_o that_o which_o be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n as_o moses_n do_v nothing_o in_o the_o tabernacle_n but_o that_o which_o be_v show_v in_o his_o pattern_n it_o seem_v that_o there_o be_v some_o among_o the_o thessalonian_o as_o there_o be_v among_o we_o which_o do_v forsake_v all_o
to_o show_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o a_o corporal_a meat_n as_o the_o papist_n say_v he_o say_v he_o be_v a_o spiritual_a meat_n as_o we_o say_v therefore_o you_o see_v that_o we_o do_v not_o eat_v he_o corporal_o no_o more_o than_o our_o father_n but_o that_o as_o they_o do_v eat_v he_o spiritual_o so_o do_v we_o for_o spiritual_a meat_n must_v be_v eat_v spiritual_o as_o corporal_a meat_n be_v eat_v corporal_o again_o for_o the_o sign_n to_o be_v turn_v into_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o they_o be_v utter_o against_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n and_o make_v it_o no_o sacrament_n because_o there_o be_v no_o sign_n for_o every_o sacrament_n do_v consist_v of_o a_o sign_n and_o a_o thing_n signify_v the_o sign_n be_v ever_o a_o earthly_a thing_n and_o that_o which_o it_o signify_v be_v a_o heavenly_a thing_n this_o shall_v appear_v in_o all_o example_n as_o in_o paradise_n there_o be_v a_o very_a tree_n for_o the_o sign_n and_o christ_n the_o thing_n signify_v by_o it_o 11._o in_o circumcision_n there_o be_v a_o cut_n off_o of_o the_o skin_n and_o the_o cut_n off_o of_o sin_n in_o the_o passove_a there_o be_v a_o lamb_n 3._o &_o christ_n in_o the_o sabbath_n there_o be_v a_o day_n of_o rest_n 11._o and_o eternal_a rest_n 9●_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n there_o be_v a_o offering_n of_o some_o beast_n and_o the_o offering_n of_o christ_n 30._o in_o the_o sanctuary_n there_o be_v the_o holy_a place_n 24._o and_o heaven_n in_o the_o propitiatory_a there_o be_v the_o golden_a cover_n and_o christ_n our_o cover_n 16_o in_o the_o wilderness_n there_o be_v a_o rock_n yield_v water_n and_o christ_n yield_v his_o blood_n 16._o in_o the_o apparition_n there_o be_v a_o dove_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 49._o in_o the_o manna_n there_o be_v bread_n 33._o and_o christ_n in_o baptism_n there_o be_v very_a water_n which_o wash_v we_o and_o christ_n blood_n wash_v we_o 19_o so_o in_o the_o supper_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v very_a bread_n and_o wine_n for_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o thing_n signify_v or_o else_o this_o sacrament_n be_v against_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o other_o sacrament_n again_o there_o must_v be_v a_o proportion_n between_o the_o passove_a and_o the_o lord_n supper_n 12._o because_o this_o be_v figure_v by_o the_o other_o now_o the_o jew_n have_v in_o their_o passove_a bread_n and_o wine_n and_o a_o lamb_n so_o our_o saviour_n christ_n institute_v his_o last_o supper_n 26_o left_a bread_n and_o wine_n and_o a_o lamb_n the_o which_o name_n be_v give_v to_o himself_o 29._o because_o he_o come_v like_o a_o lamb_n and_o die_v like_o a_o lamb_n again_o if_o christ_n very_a body_n be_v offer_v in_o the_o sacrament_n than_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sacrament_n but_o a_o sacrifice_n which_o two_o differ_v as_o much_o as_o give_v and_o take_v for_o in_o a_o sacrifice_n we_o give_v and_o in_o a_o sacrament_n we_o receive_v and_o therefore_o we_o say_v our_o sacrifice_n and_o christ_n sacrament_n again_o every_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v upon_o the_o altar_n 27._o now_o mark_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o holy-ghost_n lest_o we_o shall_v take_v this_o for_o a_o sacrifice_n he_o never_o name_v altar_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o it_o but_z the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o the_o devil_n have_v keep_v the_o name_n of_o altar_n that_o we_o may_v think_v it_o a_o sacrifice_n again_o if_o the_o bread_n be_v christ_n flesh_n and_o the_o wine_n his_o blood_n as_o these_o two_o be_v separate_v one_o from_o the_o other_o so_o christ_n flesh_n shall_v be_v separate_a from_o his_o blood_n but_o his_o body_n be_v not_o divide_v for_o than_o it_o be_v a_o dead_a body_n again_o that_o which_o remain_v do_v nourish_v the_o body_n &_o relish_v in_o the_o mouth_n as_o it_o do_v before_o which_o can_v not_o be_v but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o food_n which_o it_o be_v before_o again_o i_o will_v ask_v who_o be_v this_o whiteness_n and_o hardness_n and_o roundness_n and_o coldness_n none_o of_o they_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o whiteness_n and_o hardness_n and_o roundness_n and_o coldness_n of_o christ_n body_n therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o whiteness_n and_o hardness_n and_o roundness_n and_o coldness_n of_o the_o bread_n or_o else_o quality_n shall_v stand_v without_o substance_n which_o be_v as_o if_o one_o shall_v tell_v you_o of_o a_o house_n without_o a_o foundation_n again_o as_o christ_n dwell_v in_o we_o so_o he_o be_v eat_v of_o we_o but_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o only_o by_o faith_n ephe._n 3._o 17._o therefore_o he_o be_v eat_v only_o by_o faith_n again_o none_o can_v be_v save_v without_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o if_o all_o shall_v communicate_v with_o it_o corporal_o than_o neither_o infant_n nor_o any_o of_o our_o father_n the_o patriarch_n or_o the_o prophet_n shall_v be_v save_v because_o they_o receive_v it_o not_o so_o again_o christ_n say_v not_o this_o wine_n but_o this_o cup_n and_o therefore_o by_o their_o conclusion_n not_o only_o the_o wine_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o blood_n but_o the_o cup_n too_o again_o paul_n say_v they_o which_o receive_v unwoorthilie_o receive_v their_o own_o damnation_n but_o if_o it_o be_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n they_o shall_v rather_o receive_v salvation_n then_o damnation_n because_o christ_n say_v he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n have_v life_n everlasting_a john_n 6._o 54._o again_o if_o they_o will_v hear_v a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n when_o christ_n body_n be_v glorify_v a_o angel_n say_v to_o the_o woman_n he_o be_v rise_v and_o be_v not_o here_o mat._n 28._o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v his_o body_n be_v but_o in_o one_o place_n at_o once_o or_o else_o he_o may_v have_v be_v there_o though_o he_o be_v rise_v again_o why_o do_v they_o say_v in_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n ever_o since_o the_o primitive_a church_n lift_v up_o your_o heart_n if_o they_o have_v all_o in_o their_o mouth_n to_o end_v this_o controversy_n here_o we_o may_v say_v as_o the_o disciple_n say_v to_o christ_n whither_o shall_v we_o go_v from_o thou_o 68_o i_o mean_v we_o need_v not_o to_o go_v to_o any_o other_o expositor_n of_o christ_n than_o christ_n himself_o therefore_o mark_v what_o he_o say_v 60._o at_o first_o when_o christ_n say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n &_o that_o all_o which_o will_v live_v must_v eat_v he_o they_o murmur_v until_o he_o expound_v his_o word_n &_o how_o do_v he_o expound_v his_o word_n 35._o thus_o he_o that_o come_v unto_o i_o have_v eat_v and_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o have_v drink_v after_o when_o he_o institute_v this_o sacrament_n in_o like_a word_n they_o murmur_v not_o which_o they_o will_v as_o before_o if_o he_o have_v not_o resolve_v they_o before_o that_o to_o eat_v his_o body_n and_o to_o drink_v his_o blood_n be_v nothing_o but_o to_o come_v to_o he_o and_o believe_v in_o

3._o how_o many_o sin_n come_v with_o adam_n and_o how_o many_o curse_n come_v with_o sin_n so_o many_o mercy_n come_v with_o christ_n to_o answer_v they_o both_o therefore_o when_o paul_n can_v not_o

why_o he_o remember_v they_o of_o god_n mercy_n now_o he_o have_v prepare_v the_o way_n he_o commence_v his_o suit_n that_o they_o will_v give_v their_o body_n to_o god_n he_o speak_v not_o here_o of_o the_o soul_n though_o he_o will_v have_v they_o give_v their_o soul_n too_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n but_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o the_o body_n be_v a_o servant_n to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n both_o be_v too_o little_a and_o therefore_o one_o be_v not_o enough_o and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o soul_n too_o 20_o but_o here_o he_o speak_v the_o rather_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o their_o battle_n will_v be_v with_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o the_o flesh_n will_v be_v unwilling_a to_o this_o sacrifice_n as_o christ_n say_v the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a but_o the_o flesh_n be_v frail_a 43._o that_o be_v the_o flesh_n will_v not_o afford_v any_o thing_n

the_o body_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v draw_v forward_o that_o which_o he_o draw_v backward_o and_o let_v the_o conversion_n begin_v where_o sin_n have_v his_o root_n if_o you_o can_v win_v the_o

apostle_n say_v give_v your_o body_n a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n that_o be_v you_o must_v give_v your_o body_n to_o god_n 13._o as_o if_o you_o do_v sacrifice_v they_o the_o law_n appoint_v a_o

therefore_o if_o you_o must_v give_v your_o body_n 8._o you_o must_v geve_v eye_n &_o ear_n &_o tongue_n &_o hand_n and_o foot_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o heart_n say_v paul_n do_v but_o believe_v

another_o to_o gather_v tribute_n for_o god_n until_o the_o body_n have_v pay_v as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n therefore_o in_o deut._n 6._o 5._o god_n command_v not_o only_o thou_o shall_v love_v
