at_o thy_o command_n i_o will_v let_v down_o the_o net_n and_o the_o holy_a story_n say_v he_o enclose_v a_o great_a multitude_n of_o fish_n you_o know_v what_o christ_n intend_v in_o this_o to_o

quest_n 2_o i_o have_v now_o dispatch_v the_o first_o question_n how_o a_o good_a minister_n may_v have_v a_o bad_a people_n and_o the_o fault_n not_o he_o the_o second_o come_v on_o how_o a_o good_a

3._o in_o what_o case_n he_o may_v remove_v and_o what_o jeremy_n case_n be_v here_o 4._o what_o may_v be_v the_o warrantable_a end_n and_o ground_n of_o removal_n in_o such_o a_o case_n these_o sad_a and_o troublesome_a time_n have_v occasion_v many_o remoove_n of_o minister_n and_o their_o remoove_n many_o dispute_n among_o the_o people_n a_o word_n to_o these_o will_v not_o be_v u●_n seasonable_a in_o these_o time_n quest_n 1_o and_o first_o what_o the_o interest_n and_o propriety_n be_v between_o minister_n and_o people_n o_o that_o i_o bid_v the_o cottage_n of_o a_o wayfaring_a man_n in_o the_o wilderness_n that_o i_o may_v leave_v my_o people_n my_o people_n say_v jeremy_n but_o how_o so_o the_o prophet_n be_v not_o assign_v unto_o peculiar_a charge_n as_o the_o priest_n be_v at_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o levite_n unto_o their_o particular_a city_n and_o yet_o jeremy_n delegation_n we_o shall_v find_v to_o be_v chief_o to_o the_o head-citie_n as_o appear_v by_o chapter_n the_o first_o of_o this_o prophecy_n and_o ver_fw-la 18._o where_o his_o commission_n be_v direct_v unto_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n and_o to_o the_o prince_n and_o priest_n that_o be_v in_o

pious_a man_n upon_o this_o ground_n it_o be_v not_o improbable_a that_o he_o call_v those_o of_o jerusalem_n my_o people_n to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o those_o in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o

i_o may_v leave_v my_o people_n but_o whether_o we_o confine_v jeremy_n diocese_n unto_o jerusalem_n or_o enlarge_v it_o over_o all_o judea_n a_o propriety_n of_o relation_n he_o have_v and_o every_o minister_n have_v in_o that_o people_n to_o who_o the_o lord_n do_v send_v he_o observe_v minister_n and_o people_n have_v mutual_a interest_n one_o in_o the_o other_o st_n paul_n claim_v as_o

that_o right_n in_o his_o people_n which_o none_o can_v true_o challenge_v but_o himself_o as_o he_o say_v to_o moses_n 9.12_o deut._n 9.12_o thy_o people_n which_o thou_o have_v bring_v out_o of_o

interest_n be_v very_o great_a between_o minister_n and_o people_n and_o the_o bond_n very_o strict_a both_o to_o enforce_v the_o minister_n care_v and_o the_o people_n love_n nor_o can_v indeed_o the_o minister_n be_v careless_a or_o the_o people_n unloving_a if_o this_o propriety_n of_o relation_n be_v lay_v home_o the_o more_o i_o wonder_v at_o their_o unnatural_a unkindness_n who_o do_v not_o only_o forsake_v but_o disdain_n yea_o and_o reproach_v those_o minister_n by_o who_o if_o ever_o they_o be_v beget_v in_o the_o lord_n they_o must_v confess_v they_o be_v beget_v through_o they_o quest_n 2_o but_o now_o the_o second_o question_n be_v how_o far_o this_o propriety_n and_o interest_n between_o minister_n and_o people_n bind_v the_o minister_n to_o stay_v with_o they_o i_o conceive_v they_o urge_v it_o by_o much_o too_o far_o that_o will_v have_v it_o as_o fix_v and_o absolute_a as_o between_o man_n and_o wife_n to_o have_v and_o to_o hold_v for_o rich_a for_o poor_a for_o better_a for_o worse_a till_o death_n we_o depart_v be_v the_o minister_n condition_n or_o people_n carriage_n what_o it_o will_v the_o minister_n in_o their_o opinion_n can_v no_o more_o lawful_o leave_v his_o people_n than_o a_o man_n his_o wife_n will_v these_o likewise_o allow_v the_o wise_a to_o have_v no_o right_n in_o what_o be_v she_o but_o what_o be_v her_o husband_n i_o
