serve_v he_o but_o the_o kingdom_n this_o be_v the_o case_n man_n when_o they_o persecute_v be_v for_o the_o stuff_n but_o the_o devil_n be_v for_o the_o soul_n nor_o will_v any_o thing_n less_o than_o that_o satisfy_v he_o let_v he_o then_o that_o be_v a_o sufferer_n commit_v the_o keep_n of_o his_o soul_n to_o god_n lest_o stuff_n and_o soul_n and_o all_o be_v lose_v at_o once_o second_o a_o second_o conclusion_n that_o follow_v upon_o these_o word_n be_v this_o that_o sufferer_n if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o care_n may_v be_v too_o negligent_a as_o to_o the_o secure_n of_o their_o soul_n with_o god_n even_o when_o persecution_n be_v upon_o they_o for_o these_o word_n as_o they_o be_v a_o instruction_n so_o they_o be_v a_o awaken_n instruction_n they_o call_v as_o to_o people_n in_o danger_n as_o to_o people_n not_o so_o aware_a of_o the_o danger_n or_o as_o unto_o a_o people_n that_o forget_v too_o much_o that_o their_o soul_n and_o the_o ruin_n of_o they_o be_v seek_v after_o by_o satan_n when_o trouble_n attend_v they_o for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v when_o trouble_n be_v upon_o you_o for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n then_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o forget_v not_o to_o commit_v your_o soul_n to_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n we_o be_v natural_o apt_a with_o that_o good_a man_n gideon_n to_o be_v thresh_v out_o our_o wheat_n that_o we_o may_v hide_v it_o from_o the_o midianite_n judge_n 6.11_o but_o we_o be_v not_o so_o natural_o apt_a to_o be_v busy_v ourselves_o to_o secure_v our_o soul_n with_o god_n the_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o we_o be_v more_o flesh_n than_o spirit_n and_o because_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o world_n make_v a_o big_a sound_n in_o our_o carnal_a mind_n than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v wherefore_o peter_n here_o call_v upon_o we_o as_o upon_o man_n of_o forgetful_a mind_n say_v let_v they_o that_o suffer_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n have_v a_o care_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o take_v heed_n that_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o little_a of_o this_o world_n do_v not_o make_v they_o forget_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o lose_n of_o their_o soul_n that_o sufferer_n be_v subject_a to_o this_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o stir_n and_o bustle_v that_o at_o such_o a_o time_n they_o make_v to_o lock_v all_o up_o safe_a that_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n can_v reach_v while_o they_o be_v cold_a chill_a remiss_a and_o too_o indifferent_a about_o the_o commit_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o god_n to_o keep_v it_o this_o be_v see_v also_o in_o that_o many_o in_o a_o time_n of_o trouble_n for_o their_o profession_n will_v study_v more_o to_o deceive_v themselves_o by_o a_o change_n of_o notion_n by_o labour_v to_o persuade_v their_o conscience_n to_o admit_v they_o to_o walk_v more_o at_o large_a by_o harken_v to_o opinion_n that_o please_v and_o gratify_v the_o flesh_n by_o adhere_v to_o bad_a example_n and_o take_v evil_a counsel_n than_o they_o will_v to_o make_v straight_o step_v for_o their_o foot_n and_o to_o commit_v the_o keep_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o god_n what_o shall_v i_o say_v have_v their_o not_o be_v many_o that_o so_o long_o as_o peace_n have_v last_v have_v be_v great_a swaggerer_n for_o religion_n who_o yet_o so_o soon_o as_o the_o sun_n have_v wax_v warm_a have_v flag_v have_v be_v discontent_v offend_a and_o turn_v away_o from_o he_o that_o speak_v from_o heaven_n all_o which_o be_v because_o man_n be_v natural_o apt_a to_o be_v more_o concern_v for_o their_o good_n carnal_a peace_n and_o a_o temporal_a life_n than_o they_o be_v about_o secure_v of_o their_o soul_n with_o god_n wherefore_o i_o say_v these_o word_n be_v speak_v to_o awaken_v we_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o soul-concerns_a and_o how_o that_o shall_v be_v safe_o lodge_v under_o the_o care_n protection_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n by_o our_o commit_n of_o it_o to_o he_o for_o that_o purpose_n by_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n three_o another_o conclusion_n that_o follow_v upon_o this_o exhortation_n be_v this_o that_o persecution_n do_v sometime_o so_o hot_o follow_v god_n people_n as_o to_o leave_v they_o nothing_o but_o a_o soul_n to_o care_n for_o they_o have_v have_v no_o house_n no_o land_n no_o money_n no_o good_n no_o life_n no_o liberty_n leave_v they_o to_o care_n for_o all_o be_v go_v but_o the_o soul._n good_n have_v be_v confiscate_v liberty_n have_v be_v in_o iron_n the_o life_n condemn_v the_o neck_n in_o a_o halter_n or_o the_o body_n in_o the_o fire_n so_o then_o all_o to_o such_o have_v be_v go_v and_o they_o have_v have_v nothing_o leave_v they_o to_o care_n for_o but_o their_o soul._n let_v they_o commit_v the_o keep_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o god_n this_o conclusion_n i_o say_v do_v natural_o flow_v from_o the_o word_n for_o that_o the_o apostle_n here_o do_v make_v mention_n only_o of_o the_o soul_n as_o of_o that_o which_o be_v leave_v as_o of_o that_o which_o yet_o remain_v to_o the_o sufferer_n of_o all_o that_o ever_o he_o have_v thus_o they_o serve_v christ_n they_o leave_v he_o nothing_o but_o his_o soul_n to_o care_n for_o thus_o they_o serve_v stephen_n they_o leave_v he_o nothing_o but_o his_o

they_o but_o soul_n to_o care_n for_o job_n say_v that_o he_o have_v escape_v with_o the_o skin_n of_o his_o tooth_n and_o that_o be_v but_o a_o little_a but_o he_o do_v not_o escape_v with_o so_o much_o that_o lose_v all_o that_o he_o have_v life_n and_o all_o we_o now_o except_v the_o soul._n but_o four_o another_o thing_n that_o follow_v from_o the_o word_n be_v this_o namely_o that_o when_o the_o devil_n and_o wicked_a man_n have_v do_v what_o they_o can_v in_o their_o persecute_v of_o the_o godly_a they_o have_v yet_o have_v their_o soul_n at_o their_o own_o dispose_n they_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o rob_v they_o of_o their_o soul_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o hurt_v their_o soul_n the_o soul_n be_v not_o in_o their_o power_n to_o touch_v without_o the_o leave_n of_o god_n and_o of_o he_o who_o soul_n it_o be_v and_o fear_v not_o they_o say_v christ_n that_o kill_v the_o body_n but_o be_v not_o able_a to_o kill_v the_o soul._n mat._n 10.28_o this_o i_o say_v lie_v clear_a also_o in_o the_o text_n for_o the_o exhortation_n suppose_v that_o what_o ever_o the_o sufferer_n there_o make_v mention_n of_o have_v lose_v they_o have_v yet_o their_o soul_n at_o their_o own_o dispose_n let_v they_o that_o suffer_v even_o to_o the_o loss_n of_o good_n liberty_n or_o life_n commit_v the_o keep_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o god_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v though_o the_o enemy_n have_v reach_v they_o to_o their_o all_o and_o strip_v they_o of_o their_o all_o yet_o i_o know_v that_o their_o soul_n be_v not_o among_o that_o all_o for_o their_o soul_n be_v yet_o free_a from_o they_o at_o liberty_n and_o may_v be_v dispose_v of_o even_o as_o the_o sufferer_n will_n wherefore_o let_v he_o commit_v the_o keep_n of_o his_o soul_n to_o god_n lest_o he_o also_o through_o his_o negligence_n or_o carelessness_n be_v also_o spoil_v of_o that_o the_o sufferer_n therefore_o have_v his_o soul_n at_o his_o own_o dispose_n he_o may_v give_v that_o away_o to_o god_n almighty_a in_o spite_n of_o all_o that_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o world_n can_v do_v he_o may_v indeed_o see_v man_n part_v his_o land_n his_o household_n stuff_n yea_o his_o very_a raiment_n among_o themselves_o but_o they_o can_v so_o dispose_v of_o his_o soul._n they_o have_v no_o more_o that_o they_o can_v do_v luk._n 12.5_o five_o another_o conclusion_n that_o follow_v from_o these_o word_n be_v this_o that_o a_o man_n when_o he_o be_v a_o sufferer_n be_v not_o able_a to_o secure_v his_o own_o soul_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o hell_n by_o any_o other_o mean_n but_o by_o the_o commit_n of_o the_o keep_n thereof_o to_o god_n do_v you_o suffer_v be_v you_o in_o affliction_n for_o your_o profession_n then_o

a_o way_n of_o suffer_v for_o god_n truth_n against_o it_o we_o shall_v lay_v down_o our_o soul_n at_o the_o foot_n of_o god_n to_o care_n for_o that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v cumber_v with_o the_o

thy_o treasure_n thy_o soul_n to_o god_n to_o keep_v and_o then_o thou_o may_v say_v with_o comfort_n well_o that_o care_n be_v over_o for_o whatever_o i_o meet_v with_o in_o my_o way_n thither_o my_o
