here_o and_o partly_o elsewhere_o unfold_v the_o whole_a substance_n of_o this_o present_a scripture_n yea_o and_o that_o in_o many_o sermon_n as_o you_o may_v remember_v deliver_v in_o all_o of_o they_o such_o profitable_a doctrine_n as_o i_o think_v best_o befit_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o hearer_n which_o i_o purpose_v not_o at_o this_o time_n to_o rehearse_v again_o unto_o you_o but_o only_o to_o offer_v unto_o your_o consideration_n a_o modest_a defence_n of_o some_o special_a doctrine_n which_o have_v be_v much_o traduce_v as_o false_a and_o erroneous_a that_o so_o those_o question_n which_o arise_v in_o the_o church_n may_v peaceable_o be_v both_o hear_v and_o determine_v not_o in_o any_o blind_a and_o obscure_a convention_n as_o some_o of_o they_o have_v be_v but_o in_o a_o learned_a and_o a_o lawful_a congregation_n for_o our_o fit_a ingress_n into_o which_o discourse_n let_v i_o only_o repeat_v thus_o much_o that_o the_o general_a part_n which_o i_o consider_v in_o this_o scripture_n be_v in_o number_n two_o the_o author_n and_o the_o matter_n or_o his_o doctor_n and_o this_o doctrine_n the_o author_n be_v here_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o preacher_n say_v the_o preacher_n the_o matter_n be_v deliver_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o censure_n defininitive_o pronounce_v of_o all_o earthly_a glory_n that_o it_o be_v indeed_o nothing_o but_o vanity_n of_o vanity_n in_o the_o author_n of_o this_o doctrine_n i_o make_v this_o observation_n that_o he_o call_v not_o only_a himself_o a_o preacher_n who_o speak_v this_o sermon_n with_o his_o lively_a voice_n as_o athanasius_n affirm_v 19.3_o but_o he_o call_v this_o book_n a_o preacher_n too_o though_o it_o have_v neither_o voice_n nor_o language_n as_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v from_o whence_o i_o then_o collect_v these_o three_o position_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o certain_a truth_n which_o have_v be_v great_o obscure_v atramento_fw-la sepiarum_fw-la as_o the_o orator_n speak_v by_o the_o write_n of_o certain_a troubler_n and_o disturber_n of_o our_o peace_n dear_a first_o that_o all_o the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v preacher_n unto_o we_o which_o teach_v we_o most_o plain_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n not_o only_a when_o they_o be_v expound_v but_o also_o when_o they_o be_v humble_o and_o faithful_o read_v this_o position_n i_o then_o prove_v first_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o king_n solomon_n in_o this_o place_n who_o call_v this_o book_n as_o you_o see_v a_o preacher_n which_o have_v be_v a_o unfit_a &_o a_o misapply_v title_n if_o the_o book_n themselves_o do_v not_o preach_v unto_o us._n second_o i_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o s._n james_n in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n 5.21_o who_o call_v read_v express_o by_o the_o

of_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o preach_n to_o we_o he_o deny_v the_o authority_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n for_o solomon_n affirm_v it_o in_o the_o old_a &_o james_n affirm_v it_o in_o the_o new_a yea_o &_o as_o eusebius_n note_v of_o the_o metaphrasis_fw-la of_o talianus_fw-la he_o put_v the_o holy_a ghost_n himself_o to_o school_v 27._o and_o will_v teach_v he_o how_o to_o speak_v more_o fit_o &_o exact_o though_o sus._n mineruam_fw-la acad._n for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o you_o see_v call_v a_o book_n a_o preacher_n and_o he_o call_v reading_n preach_v which_o certain_a man_n among_o we_o count_v a_o absurd_a kind_n of_o speak_v nay_o a_o false_a and_o a_o erroneous_a doctrine_n blaspheme_v therein_o even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n himself_o the_o second_o position_n which_o i_o deduce_v out_o of_o the_o former_a observation_n in_o his_o calling_n a_o book_n by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o preacher_n be_v this_o that_o this_o read_n be_v not_o a_o faint_a or_o a_o feeble_a kind_n of_o preach_v as_o some_o man_n affirm_v of_o it_o who_o call_v bare_a read_v but_o bare_a feed_n but_o it_o be_v a_o mighty_a and_o a_o powerful_a kind_n of_o preach_v both_o sufficient_a and_o efficient_a to_o beget_v in_o our_o heart_n both_o faith_n and_o all_o other_o spiritual_a virtue_n if_o we_o right_o come_v prepare_v unto_o the_o read_n of_o they_o and_o if_o god_n vouchsafe_v his_o blessing_n unto_o our_o labour_n in_o they_o two_o necessary_a condition_n unto_o our_o profitable_a ●eading_n the_o first_o of_o they_o give_v by_o s._n augustine_n the_o second_o by_o s._n chrysostome_n gen._n yea_o and_o both_o of_o they_o no_o less_o necessary_a in_o preach_v then_o in_o read_v without_o which_o it_o be_v no_o more_o in_o the_o preacher_n power_n than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o reader_n to_o beget_v any_o good_a in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o hearer_n but_o these_o two_o be_v grant_v even_o bare_a read_n as_o some_o scornful_a spirit_n do_v in_o derision_n term_v it_o may_v be_v as_o active_a a_o kind_n of_o preach_v and_o as_o operative_a of_o all_o true_a christian_a virtue_n as_o their_o most_o adorn_v or_o impassion_v sermon_n this_o position_n i_o prove_v first_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o prophet_n moses_n who_o ordain_v in_o the_o book_n of_o deuteronomie_n 12._o that_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v read_v unto_o the_o people_n yea_o and_o that_o unto_o they_o all_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n yea_o and_o that_o every_o time_n that_o they_o appear_v before_o the_o lord_n now_o to_o what_o end_n must_v all_o this_o read_n be_v yea_o and_o read_v so_o often_o of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n he_o tell_v we_o in_o that_o place_n that_o these_o three_o effect_n shall_v ensue_v &_o follow_v of_o it_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o the_o faithful_a keep_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n all_o which_o notable_a effect_n as_o there_o he_o note_v the_o bare_a read_n of_o the_o word_n shall_v effect_v and_o bring_v forth_o yea_o and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o man_n of_o understanding_n but_o also_o even_o in_o woman_n and_o child_n yea_o and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o the_o israelite_n but_o also_o in_o the_o heathen_a and_o strange_a that_o shall_v hear_v it_o which_o point_n i_o pray_v you_o diligent_o to_o note_v that_o even_o bare_a read_n be_v able_a of_o itself_o not_o only_o to_o nourish_v faith_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o faithful_a but_o also_o to_o beget_v faith_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o infidel_n and_o such_o as_o before_o do_v neither_o know_v god_n nor_o his_o word_n second_o i_o prove_v the_o same_o position_n by_o the_o authority_n of_o ezra_n 8.9_o who_o find_v by_o his_o experience_n the_o former_a prediction_n of_o moses_n to_o be_v true_a for_o when_o as_o he_o have_v but_o only_o read_v the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n unto_o the_o people_n it_o be_v of_o so_o mighty_a &_o powerful_a a_o operation_n that_o it_o cast_v they_o all_o into_o mourning_n and_o weep_v yea_o and_o that_o so_o excessive_a that_o he_o himself_o be_v constrain_v by_o a_o public_a edict_n and_o commandment_n to_o restrain_v it_o now_o though_o in_o that_o place_n there_o be_v some_o mention_n make_v of_o exposition_n and_o give_v the_o sense_n yet_o note_n i_o pray_v you_o that_o this_o notable_a effect_n of_o their_o mourning_n be_v not_o there_o ascribe_v unto_o the_o exposition_n but_o only_o to_o the_o read_n for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n which_o wrought_v this_o vehement_a passion_n and_o not_o any_o gloss_n which_o be_v make_v upon_o they_o a_o like_a effect_n also_o do_v the_o bare_a read_n of_o the_o law_n produce_v in_o king_n josias_n 19_o it_o have_v so_o powerful_a a_o operation_n in_o he_o that_o it_o cause_v he_o to_o rend_v his_o clothes_n off_o from_o his_o back_n and_o his_o heart_n to_o melt_v away_o within_o he_o and_o yet_o be_v there_o here_o no_o exposition_n but_o only_o bare_a read_n the_o same_o point_n i_o yet_o further_o back_v by_o the_o testimony_n both_o of_o jeremie_n and_o baruck_n the_o first_o of_o who_o foretell_v as_o
