speech_n to_o peter_n if_o thou_o love_v i_o feed_v my_o sheep_n feed_v my_o lamb_n here_o i_o judge_v these_o particular_n very_o worthy_a of_o consideration_n 1._o that_o while_o he_o be_v a_o grammar-scholar_n this_o call_n he_o choose_v and_o though_o his_o father_n endeavour_v often_o and_o earnest_o to_o divert_v his_o thought_n from_o the_o ministry_n yet_o he_o be_v unmovable_a in_o his_o desire_n to_o be_v a_o minister_n 2._o that_o he_o never_o repent_v of_o this_o his_o choice_n but_o will_v all_o his_o life_n long_o upon_o all_o occasion_n magnify_v this_o his_o office_n i_o have_v many_o time_n hear_v he_o speak_v these_o word_n i_o have_v much_o rather_o 13._o rom._n 11._o 13._o be_v a_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o a_o emperor_n and_o when_o a_o motion_n be_v once_o make_v to_o he_o for_o a_o mastership_n in_o the_o university_n he_o ready_o return_v this_o answer_n my_o heart_n do_v more_o desire_n to_o be_v a_o constant_a preacher_n then_o to_o be_v the_o master_n of_o any_o college_n in_o the_o world_n 3._o that_o when_o he_o be_v motion_v to_o marry_v she_o who_o god_n afterward_o make_v his_o wife_n he_o be_v the_o rather_o incline_v to_o accept_v the_o motion_n because_o she_o be_v daughter_n to_o a_o pious_a painful_a learned_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o will_v occasional_o tell_v his_o friend_n that_o he_o be_v the_o better_a please_v with_o his_o choice_n because_o of_o that_o relation_n 4._o that_o he_o be_v never_o so_o well_o please_v with_o any_o employment_n as_o that_o of_o his_o ministry_n in_o the_o pulpit_n he_o still_o be_v like_o a_o fish_n in_o the_o water_n though_o many_o time_n he_o go_v halt_v and_o full_a of_o pain_n thither_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o manifest_v any_o sense_n of_o distemper_n while_o he_o be_v there_o how_o often_o have_v he_o go_v upon_o crutch_n unto_o the_o congregation_n of_o his_o own_o people_n to_o fulfil_v his_o ministry_n yea_o once_o at_o least_o of_o my_o knowledge_n he_o adventure_v to_o preach_v at_o michael_n cornhill_n when_o he_o be_v scarce_o able_a to_o get_v into_o the_o pulpit_n and_o his_o friend_n with_o much_o difficulty_n help_v he_o out_o of_o the_o church_n homeward_o 5._o that_o when_o he_o be_v by_o extreme_a pain_n take_v off_o from_o his_o ministry_n he_o will_v sometime_o profess_v unto_o some_o special_a friend_n that_o the_o pain_n feel_v be_v not_o so_o grievous_a to_o his_o spirit_n as_o his_o inability_n by_o reason_n thereof_o to_o manage_v his_o wont_a work_n many_o time_n these_o be_v his_o word_n if_o i_o can_v but_o preach_v i_o shall_v be_v much_o better_a and_o he_o will_v rejoice_v with_o chearfulnesse_n and_o thankfulness_n when_o in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o weakness_n he_o find_v not_o himself_o more_o distemper_v by_o his_o preach_n and_o will_v mention_v such_o experience_n as_o argument_n to_o move_v his_o friend_n to_o yield_v unto_o his_o preach_n when_o they_o do_v dissuade_v it_o as_o prejudicial_a 6._o he_o do_v zealous_o upon_o all_o occasion_n both_o in_o public_a and_o private_a defend_v the_o office_n of_o a_o gospel_n ministry_n and_o especial_o among_o those_o person_n and_o in_o such_o place_n where_o as_o he_o conceive_v there_o be_v most_o need_n this_o passage_n fall_v from_o he_o with_o affection_n in_o one_o of_o his_o morning_n lecture_n at_o westminster_n though_o i_o have_v read_v and_o hear_v of_o some_o good_a man_n who_o unadvised_o in_o their_o passion_n have_v persecute_v the_o person_n of_o some_o godly_a minister_n as_o asa_n be_v angry_a with_o the_o seer_n and_o cast_v he_o into_o prison_n yet_o i_o never_o know_v i_o never_o read_v nor_o hear_v of_o any_o godly_a person_n who_o do_v dare_v to_o oppose_v the_o call_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o whereas_o at_o the_o end_n of_o his_o sermon_n a_o soldier_n express_v himself_o dissatisfy_v with_o the_o sermon_n come_v to_o he_o in_o private_a and_o ask_v he_o whether_o he_o mean_v this_o ministry_n of_o england_n as_o now_o constitute_v he_o return_v this_o answer_n although_o i_o will_v not_o justify_v the_o call_n of_o every_o individual_a minister_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o you_o dare_v not_o justify_v the_o saintship_n of_o every_o member_n in_o your_o independent_a congregation_n yet_o i_o will_v be_v ready_a when_o and_o where_o you_o please_v to_o

be_v manifest_v by_o one_o passage_n in_o his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n though_o it_o be_v not_o long_o which_o i_o will_v put_v down_o in_o his_o own_o word_n write_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n for_o my_o son_n jeremiah_n my_o desire_n be_v that_o he_o be_v breed_v a_o scholar_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v spiritua_o incline_v his_o heart_n free_o to_o give_v up_o himself_o to_o the_o lord_n to_o serve_v he_o in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n which_o call_v and_o employment_n though_o now_o despise_v i_o do_v esteem_n above_o all_o other_o in_o the_o world_n and_o do_v commend_v it_o to_o all_o mine_n that_o if_o the_o lord_n bless_v they_o with_o son_n they_o will_v commend_v this_o call_n to_o their_o posterity_n before_o i_o pass_v from_o this_o my_o first_o demonstration_n of_o his_o love_n to_o christ_n i_o hearty_o desire_v that_o this_o may_v be_v serious_o consider_v whether_o there_o be_v not_o herein_o much_o to_o credit_v and_o encourage_v the_o

shall_v upon_o his_o deathbed_n give_v such_o a_o testimony_n unto_o it_o when_o he_o daily_o expect_v to_o make_v up_o his_o account_n before_o god_n and_o also_o give_v so_o great_a encouragement_n unto_o his_o posterity_n to_o undertake_v this_o call_n now_o even_o now_o when_o such_o disgrace_n be_v cast_v upon_o it_o and_o when_o the_o minister_n settle_a maintenance_n be_v threaten_v to_o
