the_o place_n where_o christ_n our_o lord_n and_o king_n raign_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n 1_o from_o whence_o he_o shall_v come_v and_o take_v we_o unto_o himself_o at_o all_o time_n therefore_o ought_v we_o to_o watch_v and_o wait_v for_o his_o come_n that_o we_o may_v joyful_o receive_v he_o and_o be_v partaker_n with_o he_o in_o eternal_a bliss_n here_o also_o we_o learn_v how_o faithful_a believer_n use_v themselves_o in_o the_o outward_a sacrament_n they_o that_o be_v move_v by_o the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o their_o heart_n do_v hear_v the_o eternal_a word_n preach_v give_v credit_n unto_o it_o &_o glad_o receive_v it_o these_o do_v not_o afterward_o despise_v the_o outward_a sacrament_n which_o god_n have_v institute_v for_o the_o welfare_n of_o his_o church_n but_o use_v the_o same_o with_o all_o obedience_n good_a will_n and_o reverence_n to_o use_v the_o sacrament_n without_o faith_n profit_v not_o but_o rather_o hurt_v to_o be_v loath_a to_o use_v they_o declare_v a_o compulsion_n and_o unbelief_n for_o though_o the_o water_n in_o baptism_n be_v a_o outward_a thing_n and_o can_v cleanse_v the_o soul_n from_o sin_n yet_o the_o faithful_a do_v know_v right_o well_o that_o christ_n the_o eternal_a wisdom_n in_o who_o they_o believe_v do_v not_o institute_v it_o in_o vain_a and_o therefore_o will_v not_o they_o contemn_v or_o leave_v unexercised_a the_o ordinance_n of_o their_o head_n to_o who_o they_o as_o member_n be_v incorporate_v by_o faith_n for_o they_o know_v that_o christ_n with_o these_o outward_a token_n think_v to_o couple_n and_o knit_v together_o the_o member_n of_o his_o holy_a church_n in_o obedience_n and_o love_n one_o towards_o another_o whereby_o they_o know_v one_o another_o among_o themselves_o may_v by_o such_o exterior_a thing_n stir_v and_o provoke_v one_o another_o to_o love_n and_o godliness_n they_o know_v also_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v evidence_n of_o the_o promise_n &_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o they_o after_o a_o visible_a and_o palpable_a manner_n do_v set_v forth_o declare_v and_o represent_v unto_o us._n these_o token_n of_o grace_n do_v no_o man_n use_v more_o devout_o and_o with_o more_o reverence_n than_o he_o that_o in_o himself_o be_v certify_v and_o assure_v of_o the_o gracious_a favour_n of_o god_n as_o we_o see_v in_o cornelius_n in_o paul_n and_o in_o queen_n candaces_n chamberlain_n what_o fruit_n follow_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v here_o evident_o see_v for_o in_o one_o day_n at_o peter_n preach_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o come_v three_o thousand_o man_n to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n god_n suffer_v not_o his_o word_n to_o pass_v void_a and_o unfruitful_a very_o earnest_n therefore_o &_o diligent_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v and_o to_o spare_v no_o travel_n cost_n and_o labour_n that_o the_o pure_a and_o sincere_a gospel_n the_o word_n of_o truth_n may_v every_o where_o be_v preach_v by_o good_a and_o faithful_a man_n not_o doubt_v god_n will_v give_v bless_v success_n thereto_o that_o the_o seed_n sow_v by_o the_o minister_n shall_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n and_o they_o continue_v in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n in_o the_o fellowship_n in_o the_o break_n of_o bread_n and_o in_o prayer_n doctrine_n and_o fruit_n to_o endure_v crow_v and_o reward_v all_o work_n who_o so_o endure_v unto_o the_o end_n shall_v be_v save_v without_o continuance_n may_v no_o good_a thing_n be_v bring_v to_o end_n and_o fruit_n therefore_o be_v it_o now_o declare_v how_o the_o word_n preach_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n bring_v fruit_n and_o what_o the_o same_o fruit_n be_v wherein_o faithful_a believer_n do_v exercise_v themselves_o saint_n luke_n mention_v four_o
