the_o minister_n of_o god_n when_o they_o see_v no_o fruit_n of_o their_o labour_n what_o a_o grief_n be_v it_o to_o isaiah_n that_o he_o have_v labour_v in_o vain_a and_o spend_v his_o strength_n for_o nothing_o isa_n 49.4_o isa_n 49.4_o 49.4_o and_o jeremiah_n be_v so_o grieve_v that_o his_o labour_n be_v ineffectual_a that_o he_o resolve_v to_o speak_v no_o more_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n 2.3_o jerem._n 20.9_o ezek._n 2.3_o jer._n 20.9_o in_o the_o 2._o ezek._n 3_o god_n say_v to_o that_o prophet_n son_n of_o man_n i_o send_v thou_o to_o a_o rebellious_a nation_n and_o

sway_v by_o a_o divine_a power_n i_o have_v not_o go_v this_o as_o it_o be_v think_v be_v the_o cause_n that_o jonah_n wave_v his_o commission_n of_o go_v to_o nineveh_n he_o find_v that_o he_o have_v be_v unsuccessful_a among_o his_o own_o people_n and_o therefore_o despair_v of_o do_v good_a among_o the_o ninevite_n and_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n although_o i_o know_v our_o reward_n shall_v be_v as_o great_a as_o they_o who_o have_v win_v many_o soul_n if_o we_o be_v faithful_a in_o the_o discharge_n of_o our_o duty_n yet_o when_o the_o minister_n shall_v pipe_v and_o the_o people_n will_v not_o dance_v when_o he_o shall_v sow_v the_o rock_n and_o plough_v the_o sand_n and_o with_o peter_n shall_v fish_v all_o night_n and_o catch_v nothing_o it_o can_v but_o be_v a_o great_a corrosive_n to_o his_o soul_n and_o a_o vexation_n to_o his_o spirit_n every_o man_n desire_v to_o see_v that_o thrive_v which_o be_v commit_v to_o his_o charge_n the_o father_n joy_v to_o see_v his_o child_n prosper_v and_o do_v well_o so_o do_v the_o master_n to_o see_v his_o servant_n thrive_v the_o nurse_n her_o child_n the_o shepherd_n his_o flock_n and_o the_o minister_n be_v a_o man_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n therefore_o he_o desire_v that_o the_o people_n commit_v to_o his_o charge_n shall_v thrive_v and_o prosper_v in_o grace_n and_o goodness_n reason_n 1_o and_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n for_o it_o first_o because_o when_o man_n grow_v in_o grace_n under_o a_o man_n ministry_n it_o make_v much_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o every_o minister_n be_v to_o prefer_v before_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o own_o soul_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o moses_n and_o paul_n reason_n 2_o second_o when_o he_o see_v this_o he_o have_v a_o assurance_n of_o his_o call_n than_o he_o may_v say_v as_o paul_n 1_o cor._n 9.2_o 9.2_o 1_o cor._n 9.2_o you_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o my_o apostleship_n in_o the_o lord_n reason_n 3_o three_o he_o that_o convert_v man_n win_v soul_n to_o god_n and_o save_v they_o from_o destruction_n and_o that_o be_v more_o than_o to_o win_v a_o world_n for_o one_o soul_n be_v worth_a more_o than_o the_o universe_n reason_n 4_o last_o such_o a_o man_n know_v that_o hereby_o he_o fit_v himself_o for_o a_o crown_n as_o in_o dan._n 12.3_o 12.3_o dan._n 12.3_o they_o that_o turn_v many_o to_o righteousness_n shall_v shine_v as_o the_o star_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o use_v 1_o i_o shall_v ever_o desire_v it_o for_o myself_o and_o all_o those_o which_o be_v call_v to_o the_o altar_n that_o god_n will_v ever_o keep_v it_o in_o the_o purpose_n of_o our_o heart_n not_o so_o much_o to_o look_v after_o the_o fatness_n and_o fleece_n of_o our_o flock_n as_o after_o their_o proficiency_n in_o goodness_n and_o this_o must_v be_v labour_v after_o by_o preach_v sound_o and_o faithful_o and_o this_o be_v do_v when_o he_o endeavour_v to_o bring_v tear_n from_o their_o eye_n rather_o than_o to_o please_v their_o ear_n it_o must_v also_o be_v labour_v after_o by_o live_v a_o godly_a life_n and_o conversation_n for_o this_o be_v the_o next_o way_n for_o a_o minister_n to_o have_v his_o flock_n prosper_v use_v 2_o in_o the_o second_o place_n let_v it_o be_v a_o use_n to_o people_n be_v it_o such_o a_o comfort_n to_o the_o minister_n to_o see_v his_o people_n profit_n by_o his_o preach_n then_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n afford_v your_o minister_n this_o consolation_n for_o i_o will_v he_o bold_a to_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v not_o your_o common_a courtesy_n nor_o your_o kind_a entertainment_n neither_o your_o liberality_n to_o we_o which_o please_v we_o half_o so_o well_o as_o to_o find_v the_o seal_n of_o our_o ministry_n upon_o you_o in_o your_o godly_a walk_n i_o therefore_o say_v unto_o you_o as_o st._n paul_n to_o the_o philipian_o fulfil_v you_o our_o joy_n by_o obey_v the_o truth_n which_o we_o deliver_v you_o can_v more_o honour_v we_o than_o in_o this_o and_o this_o will_v make_v way_n for_o your_o eternal_a salvation_n a_o second_o thing_n i_o note_n be_v this_o as_o god_n give_v ezra_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o comfort_n so_o he_o add_v to_o his_o comfort_n in_o this_o that_o by_o his_o humiliation_n he_o wrought_v not_o only_o on_o the_o base_a sort_n of_o
