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

when_o you_o hear_v that_o say_n then_o remember_v these_o example_n how_o he_o have_v fulfil_v it_o before_o after_o come_v the_o apostle_n and_o they_o show_v some_o harden_v some_o bewitch_v some_o blind_v paul_n tell_v how_o demas_n fall_v away_o and_o john_n show_v how_o many_o fall_v away_o thus_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n on_o either_o side_n and_o christ_n in_o the_o mid_n hold_v up_o this_o threaten_a as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o pit_n which_o all_o be_v fall_v into_o 16._o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v call_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o god_n pull_v down_o his_o temple_n when_o it_o become_v a_o den_n of_o thief_n so_o he_o forsake_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o soul_n &_o take_v his_o grace_n with_o he_o as_o from_o a_o divorced_a spouse_n when_o it_o lu_v after_o other_o love_n with_o any_o talon_n he_o give_v this_o charge_n use_v &_o increase_v it_o until_o i_o come_v be_v leave_v at_o last_o the_o come_v again_o to_o see_v what_o we_o have_v do_v the_o seed_n be_v sow_v this_o year_n the_o lord_n call_v for_o fruit_n &_o none_o will_v come_v the_o next_o year_n &_o the_o next_o after_o and_o none_o come_v at_o last_o the_o curse_n go_v forth_o never_o fruit_n grow_v upon_o thou_o more_o then_o as_o the_o figtree_n begin_v to_o wither_v so_o his_o gift_n begin_v to_o pair_n as_o if_o a_o worm_n be_v still_o gnaw_v at_o they_o his_o knowledge_n leese_v his_o relish_n like_o the_o jew_n manna_n his_o judgement_n rust_v like_o a_o sword_n which_o be_v not_o use_v his_o zeal_n tremble_v as_o though_o it_o be_v in_o a_o palsy_n his_o faith_n wither_v as_o though_o it_o be_v blast_v and_o the_o image_n of_o death_n be_v upon_o all_o his_o religion_n after_o this_o he_o think_v like_o samson_n to_o pray_v as_o he_o do_v and_o speak_v as_o he_o do_v and_o have_v no_o power_n but_o wonder_v like_o zedekias_n how_o the_o spirit_n be_v go_v from_o he_o now_o when_o the_o good_a spirit_n be_v go_v then_o come_v the_o spirit_n of_o blindness_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o fear_n and_o all_o to_o seduce_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n after_o this_o by_o little_a and_o little_a first_o he_o fall_v into_o error_n than_o he_o come_v unto_o heresy_n at_o last_o he_o plunge_v into_o despair_n after_o this_o if_o he_o inquire_v god_n will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o learn_v if_o he_o read_v god_n will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o understand_v if_o he_o hear_v god_n will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o remember_v if_o he_o pray_v god_n seem_v unto_o he_o like_o baal_n which_o can_v not_o hear_v at_o last_o he_o behold_v his_o wretchedness_n as_o adam_n look_v upon_o his_o nakedness_n and_o mourn_v for_o his_o gift_n as_o rachel_n weep_v for_o her_o child_n because_o they_o be_v not_o all_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v fulfil_v whosoever_o have_v not_o from_o he_o shall_v be_v take_v that_o which_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v as_o the_o ship_n sink_v upon_o the_o
