the_o church_n sensibleness_n of_o her_o present_a condition_n woe_n be_v i_o for_o it_o the_o word_n need_v no_o great_a explication_n only_o let_v we_o inquire_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o good_a man_n second_o what_o by_o the_o good_a man_n perish_v by_o a_o good_a man_n in_o the_o large_a sense_n be_v mean_v a_o godly_a man_n a_o holy_a man_n a_o righteous_a man_n but_o more_o strict_o here_o a_o good_a man_n be_v a_o useful_a man_n such_o be_v instrument_n of_o good_a to_o other_o such_o as_o be_v good_a magistrate_n the_o pillar_n of_o a_o state_n who_o execute_v judgement_n and_o justice_n in_o the_o gate_n a_o mordecai_n who_o seek_v the_o wealth_n of_o his_o people_n and_o procure_v 24._o peace_n to_o all_o his_o seed_n or_o good_a minister_n such_o a_o one_o as_o jehojada_n who_o do_v good_a in_o israel_n such_o a_o one_o as_o barnabas_n 24._o a_o good_a man_n and_o full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o who_o ministry_n much_o people_n be_v add_v unto_o the_o lord_n a_o good_a father_n in_o a_o family_n as_o abraham_n who_o teach_v all_o his_o child_n the_o 19_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n thus_o some_o interpret_v that_o place_n rom._n 5._o 7._o scarce_o for_o a_o righteous_a man_n will_v one_o die_v yet_o per_fw-la adventure_n for_o a_o good_a man_n some_o will_v even_o dare_v to_o die_v that_o though_o they_o will_v hardly_o die_v to_o excuse_v a_o ordinary_a man_n though_o godly_a yet_o some_o eminent_a useful_a man_n they_o will_v not_o only_o with_o the_o galathian_n pluck_v out_o their_o eye_n but_o lay_v down_o their_o life_n for_o they_o second_o what_o by_o perish_v how_o the_o good_a man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o perish_v you_o know_v to_o perish_v in_o the_o common_a acceptation_n be_v take_v in_o the_o worst_a sense_n to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n in_o wrath_n and_o fury_n and_o their_o soul_n cast_v for_o ever_o into_o the_o pit_n of_o hell_n but_o thus_o the_o good_a man_n perish_v not_o though_o the_o wicked_a be_v drive_v away_o to_o hell_n in_o his_o wickedness_n yet_o the_o righteous_a 32._o have_v hope_n in_o his_o death_n but_o here_o to_o perish_v and_o elsewhere_o be_v to_o die_v immature_o unseasonable_o to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o place_n where_o they_o be_v useful_a and_o can_v ill_o be_v spare_v many_o excellent_a lesson_n do_v these_o word_n hold_v forth_o unto_o we_o as_o first_o the_o prophet_n make_v the_o church_n condition_n his_o own_o with_o aaron_n bear_v they_o on_o his_o shoulder_n on_o his_o breastplate_n yea_o in_o his_o very_a heart_n if_o it_o be_v ill_a with_o the_o church_n you_o may_v discern_v it_o in_o his_o countenance_n hear_v it_o by_o his_o speech_n if_o well_o by_o the_o cheerfulness_n of_o his_o spirit_n if_o they_o be_v afflict_v he_o mourn_v if_o they_o rejoice_v he_o be_v cheerful_a with_o they_o second_o the_o prophet_n observe_v all_o his_o people_n who_o face_n stand_v towards_o heaven_n who_o look_v another_o way_n who_o be_v saint_n who_o be_v child_n of_o belial_n be_v diligent_a to_o know_v the_o state_n of_o his_o flock_n three_o that_o it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n to_o

his_o great_a house_n many_o vessel_n of_o dishonour_n and_o few_o of_o honour_n many_o stone_n few_o precious_a stone_n in_o his_o drag_v net_n abundance_n of_o weed_n many_o bad_a fish_n and_o few_o

subject_a to_o death_n even_o immature_a and_o untimely_a death_n as_o well_o as_o other_o but_o i_o pass_v over_o all_o these_o with_o a_o bare_a mention_n of_o they_o and_o confine_v myself_o to_o these_o two_o observation_n as_o most_o clear_o hold_v forth_o in_o the_o text_n and_o suitable_a to_o this_o sad_a meeting_n first_o that_o the_o most_o excellent_a and_o useful_a man_n be_v often_o

of_o the_o earth_n second_o that_o when_o god_n do_v this_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o sad_a lamentation_n woe_n be_v i_o the_o good_a man_n be_v perish_v etc._n etc._n the_o first_o of_o these_o
