out_o when_o the_o prophet_n be_v take_v my_o father_n my_o father_n the_o chariot_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o horseman_n thereof_o 2_o king_n 13._o 14._o and_o now_o we_o come_v from_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n to_o the_o practical_a and_o although_o my_o custom_n in_o such_o sermon_n be_v not_o to_o discourse_v about_o the_o dead_a they_o be_v like_o anatomy_n lecture_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o live_n yet_o because_o we_o be_v celebrate_v the_o funeral_n of_o a_o learned_a and_o godly_a brother_n who_o by_o his_o office_n be_v in_o public_a station_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n i_o shall_v brief_o speak_v to_o some_o few_o of_o those_o ministerial_a qualification_n that_o be_v in_o he_o mention_v in_o the_o doctrine_n not_o imitate_v nazianzen_n who_o in_o his_o funeral_n

difference_n that_o be_v sometime_o in_o judgement_n between_o godly_a man_n we_o see_v some_o by_o profaneness_n glad_o have_v it_o in_o their_o mouth_n say_v what_o heed_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o these_o minister_n there_o be_v not_o two_o of_o a_o mind_n they_o write_v against_o one_o another_o they_o have_v book_n against_o book_n and_o then_o some_o good_a people_n they_o be_v offend_v what_o shall_v we_o do_v say_v they_o we_o look_v upon_o both_o as_o godly_a and_o yet_o they_o can_v agree_v because_o i_o say_v of_o this_o offence_n i_o shall_v speak_v a_o little_a to_o it_o first_o that_o this_o difference_n among_o ourselves_o be_v a_o old_a objection_n the_o pagan_n and_o the_o jew_n urge_v it_o against_o christianity_n who_o argument_n clemens_n alexandrinus_n

that_o all_o the_o godly_a do_v know_v only_o in_o part_n perfection_n in_o knowledge_n and_o unity_n be_v reserve_v for_o heaven_n there_o will_v be_v no_o party_n no_o divide_v opinion_n there_o will_v be_v no_o different_a form_n and_o way_n of_o worship_v of_o god_n in_o that_o place_n so_o that_o although_o this_o difference_n among_o the_o godly_a be_v as_o calvin_n say_v to_o melancthon_n pessimi_fw-la exempli_fw-la of_o a_o very_a bad_a example_n yet_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o measure_n of_o light_n &_o grace_n in_o this_o world_n be_v imperfect_a than_o we_o

with_o pride_n passion_n scornful_a and_o disdainful_a word_n despise_v the_o gift_n of_o other_o this_o be_v not_o a_o dead_a fly_n but_o a_o dead_a toad_n in_o the_o box_n of_o ointment_n that_o make_v the_o wise_a reader_n think_v man_n do_v regard_v opinion_n not_o so_o much_o as_o they_o be_v god_n truth_n but_o as_o they_o be_v their_o opinion_n wherein_o they_o must_v have_v glory_n but_o return_v we_o to_o our_o learned_a brother_n as_o god_n have_v give_v he_o such_o doctrinal_a ability_n so_o also_o be_v he_o prudent_a and_o wise_a and_o wise_a to_o direct_v such_o as_o be_v

thought_n sometime_o tend_v to_o the_o great_a dejection_n and_o discouragement_n of_o his_o soul_n but_o by_o this_o we_o see_v that_o comfort_n be_v not_o a_o flower_n grow_v in_o our_o garden_n that_o we_o can_v pluck_v up_o when_o we_o will_v god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o comfort_n only_o he_o give_v it_o when_o he_o please_v and_o he_o take_v it_o away_o again_o as_o he_o please_v christ_n have_v a_o angel_n to_o comfort_v he_o in_o his_o agony_n so_o that_o all_o both_o minister_n and_o people_n be_v to_o take_v gospel-consolation_n as_o mercy_n from_o heaven_n not_o as_o the_o work_n
