scorpion_n and_o that_o nothing_o shall_v hurt_v you_o nevertheless_o in_o this_o rejoice_v not_o but_o rather_o rejoice_v that_o your_o name_n be_v write_v in_o heaven_n luke_n 10.17_o there_o he_o will_n they_o to_o count_v life_n and_o salvation_n to_o be_v a_o great_a miracle_n than_o all_o other_o peter_n testify_v likewise_o that_o when_o the_o gentile_n in_o that_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n see_v they_o that_o be_v convert_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n not_o walk_v after_o their_o old_a manner_n in_o wantonness_n lust_n drunkenness_n etc._n etc._n it_o seem_v strange_a to_o they_o they_o marvel_v much_o that_o they_o run_v not_o with_o they_o unto_o the_o same_o excess_n of_o riot_n as_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v 1._o epist_n 4.4_o where_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o conversion_n of_o sinner_n be_v a_o wonder_n to_o the_o gentile_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o they_o count_v so_o of_o it_o for_o a_o man_n true_o renew_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o convert_v unto_o christ_n be_v a_o wonder_n of_o the_o world_n and_o thou_o who_o art_n renew_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n and_o have_v get_v a_o assurance_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o thy_o sin_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n thou_o will_v never_o seek_v any_o new_a outward_a miracle_n to_o confirm_v to_o thou_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o thy_o own_o salvation_n will_v confirm_v thou_o more_o than_o all_o the_o miracle_n in_o the_o world_n can_v do_v again_o consider_v here_o that_o this_o gift_n of_o work_v of_o miracle_n follow_v not_o ever_o nor_o absolute_o that_o justify_v faith_n but_o this_o gift_n of_o work_v of_o miracle_n require_v further_o another_o sort_n of_o faith_n which_o we_o call_v the_o faith_n of_o miracle_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o special_a and_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n whereby_o some_o of_o the_o faithful_a in_o that_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n be_v able_a to_o work_v miracle_n and_o wonder_n and_o this_o faith_n of_o miracle_n be_v ground_v upon_o some_o particular_a promise_n and_o sensible_a persuasion_n in_o their_o heart_n who_o get_v that_o extraordinary_a gift_n that_o god_n by_o they_o at_o such_o time_n and_o upon_o such_o person_n and_o such_o occasion_n will_v work_v miracle_n this_o will_v be_v mark_v against_o the_o papist_n who_o confound_v this_o faith_n of_o miracle_n with_o justify_v faith_n for_o they_o say_v to_o work_v miracle_n none_o other_o faith_n be_v require_v but_o this_o true_a faith_n which_o we_o call_v justify_v faith_n whereas_o indeed_o they_o be_v two_o different_a faith_n of_o diverse_a kind_n &_o nature_n thus_o short_o of_o the_o second_o promise_n now_o it_o rest_v that_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o three_o promise_n which_o we_o have_v set_v down_o by_o matthew_n in_o the_o last_o word_n of_o his_o gospel_n there_o he_o say_v loe_o i_o be_o with_o always_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n this_o promise_n the_o lord_n make_v unto_o his_o apostle_n to_o who_o he_o have_v give_v commission_n to_o go_v into_o the_o world_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o to_o baptize_v &_o with_o this_o sweet_a &_o comfortable_a promise_n he_o end_v his_o commune_n that_o at_o this_o time_n he_o have_v with_o they_o as_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o commune_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v encourage_v they_o the_o more_o cheerful_o and_o courageous_o to_o undertake_v and_o discharge_v that_o high_a and_o painful_a call_n of_o the_o apostleship_n he_o show_v and_o declare_v unto_o they_o his_o great_a and_o incomprehensible_a power_n which_o he_o have_v give_v he_o both_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n so_o here_o he_o close_v up_o his_o commune_n with_o they_o with_o a_o promise_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o that_o same_o incomprehensible_a power_n for_o say_v he_o i_o be_o with_o you_o always_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n a_o promise_n most_o excellent_a and_o full_a of_o heavenly_a consolation_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o even_o i_o who_o have_v all_o power_n give_v i_o both_o in_o heaven_n &_o &_o in_o earth_n i_o shall_v be_v with_o you_o not_o to_o remain_v with_o you_o for_o a_o season_n but_o for_o ever_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n &_o not_o at_o certain_a diet_n and_o with_o any_o intermission_n but_o always_o every_o day_n &_o at_o all_o time_n mark_v well_o the_o degree_n of_o this_o promise_n first_o there_o be_v a_o promise_n of_o a_o infinite_a and_o incomprehensible_a power_n next_o there_o be_v a_o promise_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o this_o his_o power_n with_o they_o three_o he_o promise_v that_o this_o power_n shall_v not_o be_v present_a with_o they_o for_o a_o certain_a time_n only_o but_o even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n four_o he_o promise_v it_o shall_v be_v present_a unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n not_o by_o set_a diet_n and_o day_n but_o without_o any_o intermission_n but_o be_v this_o promise_n make_v unto_o the_o disciple_n absolute_o without_o any_o condition_n no_o it_o be_v not_o absolute_a but_o conditional_a and_o what_o be_v the_o condition_n even_o that_o same_o which_o he_o set_v down_o in_o the_o word_n immediate_o precede_v if_o the_o apostle_n teach_v man_n to_o observe_v all_o thing_n whatsoever_o he_o command_v they_o that_o be_v that_o they_o teach_v these_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v teach_v they_o before_o all_o these_o thing_n and_o no_o other_o thing_n this_o promise_n which_o here_o he_o make_v to_o his_o apostle_n be_v extend_v unto_o the_o ministry_n in_o all_o age_n yea_o even_o to_o the_o ministry_n at_o this_o present_a time_n for_o the_o lord_n say_v i_o shall_v be_v with_o you_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v now_o dead_a they_o be_v no_o more_o in_o the_o world_n therefore_o this_o promise_n be_v make_v unto_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n to_o the_o successor_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o shall_v remain_v in_o the_o church_n until_o christ_n come_v to_o judgement_n then_o all_o minister_n who_o faithful_o discharge_v their_o duty_n in_o their_o call_n and_o sincere_o teach_v all_o these_o thing_n and_o only_o these_o thing_n which_o christ_n teach_v and_o command_v they_o to_o preach_v have_v in_o this_o promise_n great_a matter_n of_o comfort_n and_o rejoice_v the_o lord_n require_v faithfulness_n and_o painfulness_n in_o the_o pastor_n in_o discharge_v of_o his_o call_n and_o if_o he_o labour_v faithful_o and_o painfullie_o in_o his_o ministry_n let_v he_o commit_v the_o issue_n and_o success_n unto_o he_o who_o have_v promise_v never_o to_o leave_v his_o own_o but_o continual_o to_o bless_v their_o travel_n with_o his_o presence_n now_o as_o it_o be_v require_v of_o the_o pastor_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v painful_a and_o careful_a in_o his_o call_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v enjoy_v this_o presence_n so_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o people_n to_o have_v a_o care_n that_o the_o pastor_n be_v not_o abstract_v and_o withdraw_v from_o his_o charge_n by_o wordly_a affair_n for_o say_v paul_n no_o man_n that_o war_v entangle_v himself_o with_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o life_n 2._o timoth._n 2._o 4._o and_o if_o so_o they_o do_v they_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o this_o same_o presence_n which_o the_o lord_n promise_v here_o to_o his_o disciple_n for_o the_o presence_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v promise_v and_o give_v to_o the_o pastor_n be_v not_o for_o himself_o only_o but_o it_o redounde_v to_o the_o weal_n and_o commodity_n of_o the_o people_n also_o the_o pastor_n blessing_n be_v the_o people_n blessing_n and_o by_o the_o contrary_a the_o curse_n that_o the_o lord_n lay_v upon_o the_o pastor_n be_v for_o a_o curse_n to_o the_o people_n upon_o who_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v avenge_v for_o the_o contempt_n of_o the_o ministry_n the_o papist_n brag_v much_o of_o this_o promise_n and_o they_o gather_v upon_o it_o that_o the_o kirke_n can_v err_v for_o say_v they_o see_v the_o lord_n have_v promise_v to_o be_v with_o his_o own_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n how_o can_v it_o be_v possible_a that_o he_o can_v leave_v his_o church_fw-mi that_o it_o can_v err_v but_o if_o they_o weigh_v aright_o the_o condition_n whereupon_o the_o promise_n be_v ground_v they_o may_v see_v that_o they_o have_v no_o matter_n of_o brag_a for_o as_o we_o show_v you_o before_o this_o promise_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v with_o they_o be_v not_o make_v absolute_o and_o in_o all_o case_n howsoever_o they_o behave_v themselves_o but_o upon_o this_o condition_n he_o promise_v his_o presence_n that_o they_o teach_v man_n these_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v teach_v they_o before_o that_o they_o teach_v all_o these_o thing_n only_o

voice_n be_v of_o joy_n for_o it_o appear_v well_o that_o before_o the_o lord_n give_v up_o the_o ghost_n comfort_n and_o joy_n return_v to_o he_o again_o and_o i_o be_o of_o this_o mind_n that_o there_o be_v none_o who_o be_v god_n own_o but_o before_o their_o departure_n out_o of_o this_o life_n soon_o or_o late_a they_o will_v get_v a_o sense_n of_o that_o joy_n which_o they_o be_v to_o

of_o man_n be_v pay_v to_o the_o least_o farthing_n now_o the_o last_o voice_n be_v when_o he_o be_v immediate_o ready_a to_o render_v up_o his_o spirit_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o father_n say_z with_o a_o feel_n of_o joy_n in_o the_o heart_n into_o thy_o hand_n father_n i_o commend_v my_o spirit_n now_o this_o day_n we_o have_v to_o speak_v by_o his_o grace_n first_o of_o his_o death_n and_o

the_o difference_n between_o the_o godly_a &_o ungodly_a in_o their_o death_n as_o they_o differ_v and_o be_v unlike_a to_o other_o in_o their_o life_n so_o especial_o in_o their_o death_n the_o

brethren_n the_o lord_n jesus_n as_o all_o his_o life-time_n he_o be_v careful_a for_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v lodge_v in_o a_o earthly_a tabernacle_n so_o chief_o in_o the_o moment_n when_o it_o be_v to_o fllit_fw-la the_o godly_a they_o will_v not_o let_v the_o soul_n flit_v out_o of_o the_o body_n until_o they_o know_v that_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v sweet_o lose_v the_o soul_n
