by_o a_o double_a argument_n first_o from_o the_o call_n of_o the_o apostlc_n themselves_o you_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v desire_v of_o revenge_n be_v not_o suitable_a to_o man_n of_o your_o spirit_n or_o of_o your_o call_n you_o be_v minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n and_o you_o must_v do_v only_o that_o which_o suit_n with_o my_o spirit_n which_o become_v the_o gospel_n second_o from_o the_o end_n of_o his_o own_o come_n who_o be_v their_o master_n which_o be_v to_o save_v man_n life_n and_o not_o to_o destnoy_v they_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v what_o do_v you_o tell_v i_o of_o burn_a town_n or_o of_o elias_n example_n in_o call_v down_o fire_n from_o heaven_n to_o do_v hurt_v be_v there_o no_o difference_n between_o i_o and_o elias_n between_o the_o end_n of_o my_o come_n and_o his_o if_o he_o come_v to_o destroy_v man_n and_o to_o pray_v against_o israel_n yet_o i_o come_v to_o save_v man_n and_o to_o pray_v for_o israel_n therefore_o a_o very_a unfit_a motion_n this_o be_v which_o you_o propound_v unto_o i_o and_o very_o impertinent_o do_v you_o propound_v the_o example_n of_o he_o but_o i_o

and_o your_o motion_n be_v naught_o because_o it_o spring_v from_o ignorance_n ignorance_n of_o yourselves_o and_o of_o i_o too_o of_o your_o own_o spirit_n and_o of_o the_o end_n of_o my_o come_n hence_o we_o gather_v these_o observation_n 1._o motion_n that_o proceed_v from_o ignorance_n be_v evil_a motion_n 2._o good_a man_n may_v be_v ignorant_a ant_n of_o their_o own_o spirit_n 3._o

do_v only_o that_o which_o suit_n with_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o gospel_n these_o be_v the_o observation_n or_o lesson_n that_o we_o shall_v further_o discourse_v of_o brief_o from_o the_o text_n and_o of_o they_o in_o their_o order_n 1._o motion_n that_o proceed_v from_o ignorance_n be_v evil_a motion_n no_o good_a can_v come_v of_o ignorance_n without_o knowledge_n 1_o the_o mind_n be_v not_o good_a say_v solomon_n and_o from_o amind_v 2._o not_o good_a no_o good_a can_v spring_v in_o matth._n 20._o 23._o there_o be_v a_o request_n or_o prayer_n make_v to_o christ_n by_o the_o mother_n of_o these_o two_o apostle_n james_n and_o john_n but_o it_o proceed_v o●t_v of_o ignorance_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n condemn_v it_o as_o no_o good_a request_n you_o ask_v say_v he_o you_o know_v not_o what_o and_o so_o that_o worship_n that_o proceed_v from_o ignorance_n be_v no_o good_a worship_n you_o worship_v you_o know_v not_o what_o say_v our_o saviour_n to_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n joh._n 4._o 22._o and_o so_o he_o disallow_v their_o worship_n as_o a_o sinful_a worship_n and_o so_o rom._n 10._o 2._o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o a_o zeal_n without_o knowledge_n and_o disallow_n of_o it_o as_o not_o good_a ignorance_n be_v no_o mother_n of_o devotion_n or_o of_o goodnoffe_n as_o the_o papist_n teach_v but_o rather_o of_o all_o error_n of_o bloodshed_n persecution_n blasphemy_n oppression_n and_o of_o all_o filthy_a lust_n of_o all_o ill_a motion_n as_o i_o can_v make_v good_a by_o 15._o divers_a particular_a scripture_n o_o that_o this_o truth_n be_v believe_v and_o remember_v in_o these_o day_n for_o then_o perhaps_o people_n will_v not_o follow_v use._n ignorant_a and_o unlearned_a teacher_n so_o fast_o as_o they_o do_v of_o who_o the_o apostle_n speak_v that_o they_o neither_o understand_v what_o they_o say_v nor_o whereof_o they_o affirm_v none_o more_o bold_a than_o the_o blind_a and_o none_o more_o ready_a to_o follow_v the_o 7._o blind_a than_o those_o that_o be_v like_o they_o but_o if_o the_o blind_a lead_v the_o blind_a both_o will_v fall_v into_o the_o ditch_n say_v our_o saviour_n matth._n 15._o 14._o but_o be_v it_o know_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o zeal_n of_o ignorance_n be_v not_o good_a nor_o the_o prayer_n of_o ignorance_n nor_o the_o preach_n of_o ignorance_n nor_o the_o worship_n or_o devotion_n of_o ignorance_n nor_o any_o motion_n that_o proceed_v from_o ignorance_n alisnaught_v that_o come_v from_o this_o root_n ignorance_n be_v darkness_n and_o darkness_n have_v relation_n to_o hell_n these_o apostle_n here_o i_o warrant_v you_o after_o they_o know_v this_o they_o be_v but_o little_o take_v with_o this_o their_o own_o motion_n nor_o do_v they_o delight_v to_o start_v any_o more_o of_o the_o like_a kind_n i_o wish_v that_o all_o man_n be_v like_o the_o apostle_n herein_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o their_o own_o ignorance_n and_o to_o curb_v and_o keep_v in_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o but_o we_o proceed_v what_o ignorance_n be_v it_o that_o our_o saviour_n blame_v here_o in_o these_o his_o disciple_n why_o it_o be_v first_o the_o ignorance_n of_o their_o own_o spirit_n you_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o and_o hence_o arise_v our_o second_o observation_n good_a man_n may_v be_v ignorant_a of_o their_o own_o spirit_n 2._o that_o be_v of_o that_o frame_n and_o disposition_n of_o heart_n that_o temper_n ●f_a spirit_n which_o themselves_o be_v of_o or_o aught_o to_o be_v of_o at_o such_o or_o such_o time_n and_o season_n or_o upon_o such_o occasion_n the_o apostle_n here_o be_v good_a man_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v themselves_o you_o see_v nor_o what_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o spirit_n be_v which_o god_n at_o those_o time_n do_v give_v unto_o his_o servant_n god_n be_v the_o father_n of_o spirit_n and_o the_o giver_n of_o all_o good_a 9_o spirit_n and_o you_o must_v know_v that_o god_n give_v to_o his_o servant_n spirit_n suitable_a to_o the_o time_n and_o season_n the_o same_o spirit_n may_v be_v good_a at_o one_o time_n and_o not_o at_o another_o elias_n spirit_n be_v good_a in_o his_o time_n but_o the_o time_n be_v change_v his_o spirit_n or_o the_o temper_n of_o his_o spirit_n may_v not_o be_v so_o good_a now_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v come_v by_o his_o come_n he_o make_v a_o change_n of_o the_o time_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n of_o the_o spirit_n too_o as_o we_o shall_v show_v anon_o and_o indeed_o the_o disciple_n inconsideration_n of_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o time_n be_v the_o occasion_n that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a in_o this_o fort_n of_o their_o own_o spirit_n and_o so_o still_a ignorance_n of_o the_o time_n and_o season_n and_o place_n where_o man_n live_v be_v often_o the_o cause_n that_o good_a man_n be_v ignorant_a of_o their_o own_o spirit_n or_o of_o what_o spirit_n they_o ought_v to_o show_v a_o spirit_n that_o may_v be_v good_a at_o one_o time_n or_o in_o one_o place_n may_v not_o be_v so_o at_z or_o in_o another_o for_o example_n luther_n spirit_n be_v good_a in_o luther_n time_n god_n do_v fit_v he_o with_o a_o spirit_n according_a to_o the_o time_n and_o place_n wherein_o he_o live_v and_o to_o the_o work_n he_o have_v to_o do_v but_o whether_o luther_n spirit_n be_v so_o good_a now_o and_o in_o these_o realm_n or_o whether_o all_o they_o that_o boast_v themselves_o to_o be_v of_o luther_n spirit_n be_v so_o indeed_o and_o have_v it_o from_o god_n as_o he_o have_v many_o wise_a man_n both_o do_v and_o well_o may_v make_v a_o question_n but_o if_o we_o shall_v grant_v that_o luther_n spirit_n be_v as_o good_a in_o these_o time_n as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o own_o yet_o whether_o carolostadius_fw-la his_o spirit_n that_o be_v never_o good_a in_o luther_n time_n be_v good_a now_o or_o no_o be_v and_o may_v be_v a_o further_a question_n this_o carolostadius_fw-la be_v a_o ignorant_a doctor_n in_o luther_n time_n that_o love_v popularity_n and_o to_o be_v count_v some_o body_n as_o well_o as_o luther_n in_o the_o great_a work_n of_o reformation_n he_o be_v indeed_o a_o pretty_a tolerable_a man_n according_a to_o the_o condition_n of_o those_o time_n only_o he_o have_v two_o defect_n and_o they_o be_v want_v of_o wit_n and_o want_v of_o sufficient_a learning_n and_o therefore_o he_o fall_v to_o preach_v and_o
say_v when_o with_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n we_o think_v of_o these_o miscarriage_n we_o can_v but_o be_v comfort_v to_o remember_v withal_o that_o christ_n spirit_n be_v clean_o contrary_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o angry_a and_o revengeful_a man_n as_o have_v appear_v by_o the_o end_n of_o his_o come_n and_o this_o passage_n with_o his_o disciple_n it_o be_v a_o great_a comfort_n to_o the_o syrian_a king_n and_o his_o noble_n when_o they_o be_v in_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n danger_n to_o remember_v that_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n be_v merciful_a king_n so_o may_v it_o be_v to_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n danger_n to_o consider_v that_o he_o be_v a_o prince_n of_o a_o merciful_a spirit_n only_o let_v we_o be_v careful_a not_o to_o abuse_v his_o goodness_n in_o after_o time_n and_o

and_o destruction_n may_v fall_v upon_o he_o and_o perhaps_o by_o prayer_n or_o imprecation_n be_v bold_a to_o request_v christ_n aid_n in_o the_o business_n nay_o such_o be_v the_o weakness_n of_o some_o that_o if_o any_o man_n or_o creature_n dog_n or_o horse_n or_o hawk_v offend_v they_o they_o will_v curse_v the_o same_o and_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n to_o send_v
