hear_v carry_v it_o home_o with_o thou_o and_o with_o the_o noble_a berean_o search_v in_o god_n word_n whether_o 11._o it_o may_v not_o stand_v with_o it_o and_o further_o because_o thou_o be_v a_o private_a man_n and_o s._n peter_n teach_v 20._o that_o no_o scripture_n be_v of_o any_o private_a interpretation_n therefore_o thou_o be_v not_o to_o rest_v in_o thy_o own_o sense_n but_o thou_o must_v go_v further_o to_o the_o preacher_n fellow_n and_o to_o they_o who_o authority_n be_v prevalent_a in_o the_o church_n and_o require_v their_o judgement_n because_o s._n paul_n say_v the_o spirit_n 32._o of_o the_o prophet_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o prophet_n and_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v too_o hard_a for_o they_o than_o thou_o must_v go_v to_o the_o bishop_n who_o be_v god_n high_a

be_v the_o daughter_n of_o the_o mother-vertue_n charity_n and_o this_o be_v a_o cheerful_a and_o free_a give_v of_o ourselves_o to_o god_n service_n as_o his_o household_n servant_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o special_a act_n of_o religion_n and_o this_o devotion_n be_v derive_v à_fw-la voto_fw-la from_o a_o vow_n and_o be_v a_o frank_a gift_n and_o free_a bind_v of_o ourselves_o unto_o

from_o himself_o for_o david_n sake_n say_v let_v he_o take_v all_o see_v my_o lord_n 30._o the_o king_n be_v come_v home_o in_o peace_n according_a to_o this_o when_o we_o consider_v what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o we_o as_o mephibosheth_n remember_v what_o king_n david_n have_v do_v for_o he_o when_o we_o remember_v that_o he_o have_v not_o only_o make_v we_o but_o after_o this_o redeem_v

his_o son_n christ_n he_o have_v take_v we_o as_o his_o own_o son_n to_o be_v at_o his_o own_o table_n therefore_o now_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o forsake_v all_o for_o his_o sake_n to_o let_v the_o world_n and_o ziba_n take_v all_o and_o to_o give_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o his_o service_n a_o second_o motive_n to_o this_o devotion_n be_v the_o consideration_n of_o our_o own_o defect_n for_o when_o we_o find_v ourselves_o too_o weak_a to_o persist_v in_o this_o purchase_a grace_n without_o his_o special_a aid_n we_o relinquish_v our_o own_o strength_n and_o providence_n to_o betake_v we_o to_o his_o protection_n and_o so_o we_o turn_v to_o be_v his_o household_n servant_n and_o because_o prayer_n be_v the_o principal_a mean_n to_o lay_v hold_n on_o god_n help_n therefore_o herein_o special_o our_o devotion_n in_o god_n house_n be_v occupy_v and_o for_o that_o many_o after_o they_o have_v make_v good_a vow_n by_o the_o world_n avocation_n be_v call_v off_o therefore_o my_o text_n tell_v i_o that_o this_o holy_a service_n must_v not_o be_v for_o a_o time_n but_o for_o ever_o holiness_n become_v thy_o house_n o_o lord_n for_o ever_o god_n be_v always_o the_o same_o as_o say_v

be_v to_o we_o if_o we_o fail_v to_o serve_v he_o he_o will_v fail_v to_o save_v we_o because_o he_o be_v always_o the_o same_o as_o well_o just_a as_o merciful_a s._n judas_n teach_v that_o the_o

upon_o saint_n day_n and_o fast_v day_n when_o god_n shall_v be_v serve_v with_o great_a humiliation_n and_o strong_a devotion_n because_o then_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n join_v with_o we_o join_v with_o we_o will_v you_o say_v how_o know_v you_o that_o thus_o because_o in_o wis._n 3._o 1._o it_o be_v say_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o righteous_a be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n but_o god_n hand_n

continual_a care_n for_o we_o because_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o the_o member_n shall_v have_v 25._o the_o same_o care_n one_o for_o another_o what_o be_v their_o care_n in_o action_n it_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o prayer_n for_o we_o because_o they_o themselves_o be_v past_a danger_n therefore_o all_o their_o desire_n be_v for_o we_o and_o this_o be_v represent_v after_o some_o manner_n by_o god_n ordinance_n towards_o the_o holy_a nation_n in_o get_v the_o earthly_a canaan_n for_o god_n will_v not_o give_v to_o the_o two_o tribe_n and_o half_a the_o land_n of_o gilead_n but_o upon_o

now_o if_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n after_o their_o manner_n aid_v we_o with_o their_o prayer_n shall_v we_o be_v so_o base-minded_a as_o not_o to_o pray_v with_o they_o o_o ingratitude_n neither_o
