particular_n first_o when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n if_o you_o will_v sanctify_v god_n name_n you_o must_v possess_v your_o soul_n with_o what_o it_o be_v that_o you_o be_v go_v to_o

go_v to_o attend_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o eternal_a god_n possess_v your_o soul_n with_o this_o you_o will_v never_o sanctify_v god_n name_n else_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o word_n therefore_o you_o find_v that_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o thessalonian_n he_o give_v they_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o word_n do_v they_o so_o much_o good_a as_o it_o do_v it_o be_v because_o they_o do_v hear_v it_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 1_o thess_n 2._o 13._o for_o this_o cause_n also_o say_v he_o thank_v we_o god_n without_o cease_v because_o when_o you_o

we_o go_v hear_v such_o a_o man_n preach_v oh_o no_o let_v we_o go_v hear_v christ_n preach_v for_o as_o it_o do_v concern_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n that_o they_o preach_v not_o themselves_o but_o that_o christ_n shall_v preach_v in_o they_o so_o it_o concern_v you_o that_o hear_v not_o to_o come_v to_o hear_v this_o man_n or_o that_o man_n but_o to_o come_v to_o hear_v jesus_n christ_n we_o as_o the_o ambassador_n of_o christ_n do_v beseech_v you_o say_v the_o apostle_n 2_o possess_v your_o heart_n likewise_o with_o this_o consideration_n that_o i_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n as_o a_o ordinance_n appoint_v by_o god_n to_o convey_v spiritual_a good_a to_o my_o soul_n and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a useful_a consideration_n and_o especial_o it_o concern_v man_n of_o understanding_n and_o part_n for_o the_o help_a of_o they_o to_o hear_v for_o man_n that_o be_v of_o understanding_n and_o part_n when_o they_o come_v to_o hear_v this_o temptation_n be_v ready_a to_o come_v upon_o they_o that_o except_o they_o hear_v some_o new_a thing_n that_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v before_o wherefore_o shall_v they_o come_v i_o be_o able_a to_o understand_v as_o much_o in_o such_o a_o

of_o come_v to_o hear_v now_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n you_o do_v not_o come_v always_o to_o hear_v what_o you_o do_v not_o know_v it_o may_v be_v sometime_o god_n may_v dart_v in_o some_o thing_n that_o you_o do_v not_o think_v of_o before_o or_o so_o full_o understand_v but_o suppose_v it_o be_v not_o so_o you_o be_v to_o come_v to_o it_o as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o spiritual_a good_a to_o your_o soul_n you_o will_v say_v can_v we_o sit_v at_o home_n and_o read_v a_o sermon_n but_o have_v god_n appoint_v that_o the_o great_a ordinance_n for_o the_o convert_n and_o the_o edify_n of_o soul_n in_o the_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n true_o there_o be_v some_o use_n of_o it_o but_o the_o great_a ordinance_n be_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n faith_n come_v by_o hear_v the_o scripture_n say_v and_o never_o by_o read_v so_o that_o though_o when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v you_o do_v not_o hear_v that_o which_o you_o hear_v not_o before_o yet_o you_o come_v to_o attend_v upon_o this_o ordinance_n for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o some_o spiritual_a good_a that_o it_o may_v be_v have_v not_o be_v convey_v before_o or_o in_o a_o further_a degree_n than_o it_o have_v be_v convey_v before_o and_o so_o you_o shall_v come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n with_o your_o heart_n possess_v with_o that_o meditation_n that_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o great_a ordinance_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o spiritual_a good_a so_o that_o i_o come_v now_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o in_o this_o do_v i_o testify_v my_o respect_n to_o god_n that_o i_o will_v attend_v upon_o this_o ordinance_n of_o he_o for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o spiritual_a good_a to_o i_o and_o although_o i_o may_v think_v that_o this_o or_o the_o other_o mean_n may_v do_v the_o deed_n as_o well_o yet_o because_o god_n have_v appoint_v this_o to_o be_v his_o ordinance_n therefore_o in_o obedience_n to_o he_o i_o will_v attend_v upon_o this_o mean_n rather_o than_o upon_o other_o mean_n as_o you_o know_v naaman_n he_o think_v the_o other_o water_n will_v have_v be_v as_o good_a as_o the_o water_n of_o jordan_n to_o have_v heal_v he_o but_o if_o god_n will_v appoint_v he_o the_o water_n of_o jordan_n that_o they_o shall_v heal_v he_o rather_o than_o other_o water_n he_o must_v wash_v there_o no_o question_n but_o other_o water_n have_v as_o much_o natural_a virtue_n in_o they_o as_o they_o have_v but_o because_o the_o water_n of_o jordan_n be_v the_o ordinance_n that_o god_n for_o that_o time_n have_v appoint_v to_o cure_v his_o leprosy_n withal_o he_o must_v come_v and_o wash_v in_o those_o water_n rather_o than_o in_o any_o other_o so_o because_o preach_v of_o the_o word_n be_v the_o great_a ordinance_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v for_o to_o convey_v himself_o by_o therefore_o he_o do_v require_v that_o thou_o shall_v show_v thy_o respect_n to_o he_o so_o far_o as_o to_o attend_v upon_o he_o in_o this_o ordinance_n 2_o the_o second_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o way_n of_o preparation_n it_o be_v to_o plough_v up_o the_o fallow_a ground_n of_o your_o heart_n and_o not_o to_o sow_v among_o thorn_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o jer._n 4._o 3._o and_o so_o in_o hoâ—_n 10._o the_o word_n of_o god_n you_o know_v be_v compare_v to_o seed_n in_o that_o parable_n of_o christ_n in_o mar._n 13._o and_o a_o auditory_a be_v compare_v to_o the_o ground_n i_o suppose_v you_o be_v all_o acquaint_v with_o that_o parable_n of_o the_o sour_a that_o it_o be_v to_o set_v out_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o what_o fruit_n it_o have_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n a_o congregation_n be_v like_o the_o field_n and_o a_o minister_n preach_v be_v like_o the_o sour_a that_o sow_v the_o seed_n in_o the_o field_n he_o know_v not_o which_o truth_n whether_o that_o or_o the_o other_o will_v prosper_v the_o seed_n be_v sow_v in_o some_o part_n of_o the_o ground_n it_o be_v lose_v
the_o word_n be_v compare_v to_o meat_n and_o it_o must_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o body_n then_o do_v we_o worship_v god_n in_o a_o right_a way_n when_o as_o we_o take_v notice_n of_o god_n word_n as_o concern_v we_o in_o particular_a as_o that_o notable_a scripture_n that_o you_o have_v in_o 1_o cor._n 14._o 25._o where_o there_o come_v a_o poor_a man_n into_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o hear_v prophesy_v hear_v the_o word_n open_v and_o the_o text_n say_v he_o be_v convince_v of_o all_o he_o be_v judge_v of_o all_o and_o then_o in_o vers_n 25_o thus_o be_v the_o secret_n of_o his_o heart_n manifest_a and_o so_o fall_v down_o on_o his_o face_n he_o worship_v god_n and_o report_n that_o god_n be_v in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n that_o be_v when_o the_o word_n come_v and_o meet_v with_o his_o soul_n in_o particular_a that_o he_o find_v himself_o to_o be_v aim_v at_o by_o the_o word_n than_o he_o worship_v god_n and_o say_v that_o god_n certain_o be_v in_o they_o here_o be_v the_o reason_n now_o that_o when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n you_o do_v not_o worship_n god_n because_o you_o apply_v it_o not_o to_o yourselves_o you_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v this_o be_v well_o speak_v to_o such_o a_o one_o and_o it_o concern_v such_o a_o one_o but_o how_o do_v it_o concern_v thy_o soul_n in_o particular_a sometime_o the_o lord_n do_v even_o force_v man_n and_o woman_n to_o apply_v it_o whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o for_o that_o they_o think_v the_o minister_n speak_v to_o they_o in_o particular_a and_o that_o no_o body_n be_v speak_v too_o in_o the_o congregation_n but_o themselves_o this_o be_v a_o mercy_n when_o the_o lord_n do_v it_o unto_o you_o but_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n when_o the_o lord_n give_v you_o a_o heart_n to_o apply_v it_o to_o yourselves_o and_o although_o it_o may_v trouble_v you_o a_o little_a for_o the_o present_a yet_o be_v willing_a to_o apply_v it_o and_o account_v it_o a_o great_a mercy_n from_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v please_v to_o speak_v in_o particular_a to_o your_o soul_n 4_o four_o we_o must_v mix_v faith_n with_o the_o word_n or_o otherwise_o it_o will_v do_v we_o but_o little_a good_a apply_v it_o and_o then_o believe_v it_o in_o heb._n 4._o 2._o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o word_n preach_v do_v not_o profit_v they_o not_o be_v mix_v with_o faith_n in_o they_o that_o hear_v it_o wherefore_o there_o must_v be_v a_o mixture_n of_o faith_n to_o believe_v the_o word_n that_o the_o lord_n bring_v unto_o you_o now_o concern_v that_o i_o will_v but_o propound_v these_o few_o

the_o world_n do_v ordinary_o account_v any_o of_o those_o three_o to_o be_v honest_a man_n as_o the_o highway_n ground_n be_v there_o not_o many_o honest_a man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o regard_v

they_o have_v hear_v in_o all_o their_o life_n hardly_o i_o say_v but_o the_o word_n which_o they_o hear_v be_v present_o take_v away_o from_o they_o and_o yet_o these_o be_v account_v honest_a man_n in_o the_o world_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o honest_a heart_n the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o and_o many_o there_o be_v that_o go_v further_o than_o these_o that_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n with_o joy_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v not_o this_o honest_a heart_n yea_o they_o may_v hear_v the_o word_n so_o as_o to_o bring_v forth_o a_o blade_n and_o yet_o not_o have_v this_o honest_a heart_n by_o this_o honest_a heart_n i_o take_v therefore_o to_o be_v mean_v this_o a_o heart_n that_o deal_v square_o and_o true_o with_o god_n behave_v itself_o in_o a_o beseem_a manner_n suitable_a to_o that_o authority_n and_o excellency_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o now_o for_o example_n 1_o first_o among_o man_n he_o be_v account_v a_o honest_a man_n that_o deal_v square_o and_o true_o with_o man_n in_o all_o action_n such_o a_o man_n you_o will_v say_v be_v a_o honest_a man_n as_o honest_a a_o man_n as_o ever_o break_v bread_n that_o be_v one_o that_o will_v deal_v square_o with_o man_n not_o only_o in_o one_o thing_n but_o turn_v he_o to_o any_o thing_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v a_o proportion_n between_o one_o action_n and_o another_o so_o this_o be_v a_o honest_a heart_n not_o one_o that_o only_o will_v be_v forward_o for_o god_n in_o some_o one_o action_n wherein_o he_o may_v enjoy_v himself_o as_o well_o as_o god_n but_o one_o that_o deal_v square_o with_o god_n let_v god_n put_v he_o upon_o duty_n upon_o any_o service_n god_n shall_v find_v he_o still_o to_o be_v the_o same_o man_n put_v he_o upon_o a_o easy_a service_n as_o many_o will_v embrace_v that_o or_o put_v he_o upon_o a_o difficult_a service_n it_o be_v all_o one_o if_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n you_o shall_v find_v he_o square_v in_o every_o thing_n though_o he_o be_v put_v upon_o that_o which_o he_o be_v like_a to_o suffer_v very_o much_o in_o yet_o he_o go_v on_o according_a to_o his_o principle_n a_o honest_a heart_n be_v one_o that_o have_v receive_v gracious_a principle_n and_o according_o he_o act_v all_o the_o world_n can_v take_v he_o off_o from_o his_o principle_n of_o godliness_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v into_o his_o heart_n 2_o second_o a_o honest_a man_n be_v one_o that_o provide_v thing_n honest_a before_o man_n that_o do_v all_o thing_n in_o a_o seemly_a way_n in_o all_o those_o relation_n that_o he_o have_v unto_o other_o that_o we_o account_v honesty_n so_o when_o a_o man_n behaviour_n towards_o the_o word_n be_v such_o as_o do_v beseem_v the_o word_n of_o that_o god_n with_o who_o he_o have_v to_o deal_v that_o look_v what_o excellency_n what_o glory_n there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n such_o a_o suitable_a behaviour_n there_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n to_o it_o this_o be_v a_o honest_a heart_n so_o that_o there_o be_v those_o two_o thing_n when_o a_o man_n be_v square_a with_o god_n in_o one_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o another_o and_o when_o there_o be_v a_o suitableness_n in_o the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o what_o excellency_n there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n when_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n will_v not_o abuse_v the_o word_n at_o all_o but_o behave_v its_o self_n honest_o according_a unto_o the_o gravity_n holiness_n and_o weight_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n and_o thus_o now_o with_o such_o a_o good_a and_o honest_a heart_n we_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o word_n if_o we_o will_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o it_o 10_o a_o ten_o particular_a be_v this_o if_o we_o will_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o the_o word_n we_o must_v hide_v the_o word_n in_o our_o heart_n we_o must_v not_o only_a heart_n the_o word_n but_o keep_v it_o preserve_v it_o and_o then_o do_v we_o declare_v that_o we_o account_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v worth_a something_o indeed_o for_o what_o be_v it_o to_o sanctify_v god_n as_o we_o have_v open_v before_o in_o the_o general_a but_o such_o a_o behaviour_n towards_o he_o as_o may_v testify_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n so_o the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o hear_v the_o word_n must_v be_v such_o as_o may_v give_v a_o testimony_n to_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o word_n and_o manifest_v the_o high_a esteem_n i_o have_v of_o it_o now_o if_o i_o receive_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o great_a value_n if_o i_o slight_a it_o and_o let_v any_o body_n take_v it_o from_o i_o i_o do_v not_o give_v a_o testimony_n to_o the_o excellency_n of_o that_o thing_n but_o if_o i_o take_v it_o and_o lock_v it_o up_o and_o so_o keep_v it_o under_o lock_n and_o key_n i_o do_v thereby_o give_v a_o testimony_n of_o the_o esteem_n that_o i_o have_v of_o the_o excellency_n of_o that_o thing_n so_o now_o when_o i_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o meet_v with_o truth_n that_o have_v get_v into_o my_o soul_n i_o close_o with_o they_o and_o be_o resolve_v within_o my_o heart_n as_o i_o be_o hear_v of_o they_o well_o this_o truth_n i_o will_v keep_v through_o

have_v bewitch_v you_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o obey_v the_o truth_n before_o who_o eye_n jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v evident_o set_v forth_o crucify_v among_o you_o he_o do_v not_o mean_a that_o

christ_n in_o the_o word_n be_v not_o such_o a_o real_a evident_a and_o sensible_a set_n forth_o of_o christ_n crucify_v as_o when_o he_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o work_v with_o more_o efficacy_n to_o break_v the_o heart_n then_o that_o other_o sight_n and_o the_o reason_n that_o i_o give_v be_v this_o because_o you_o do_v never_o find_v that_o god_n do_v set_v that_o apart_o as_o a_o ordinance_n a_o institution_n appoint_v to_o that_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o look_v upon_o that_o for_o the_o break_n of_o their_o heart_n there_o be_v indeed_o a_o naturalnesse_n in_o it_o that_o if_o they_o do_v behold_v christ_n it_o may_v break_v their_o heart_n but_o it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o ordinance_n it_o be_v not_o a_o sacrament_n as_o this_o be_v now_o this_o be_v in_o a_o sacramental_a way_n in_o the_o use_n of_o a_o ordinance_n appoint_v by_o jesus_n christ_n to_o set_v forth_o his_o suffering_n and_o all_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o the_o soul_n there_o may_v be_v expect_v here_o a_o further_a blessing_n then_o in_o the_o other_o though_o its_o true_a the_o other_o may_v work_v mighty_o upon_o the_o heart_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o great_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o church_n a_o great_a institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o set_n out_o of_o his_o suffering_n it_o have_v a_o more_o special_a blessing_n that_o go_v along_o with_o it_o every_o ordinance_n have_v a_o promise_n and_o a_o more_o special_a blessing_n then_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n so_o when_o you_o come_v here_o to_o behold_v christ_n crucify_v before_o you_o you_o can_v see_v christ_n natural_o crucify_v as_o upon_o the_o cross_n but_o you_o have_v christ_n crucify_v before_o you_o in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o sacrament_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o solemn_a institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o have_v a_o special_a blessing_n which_o go_v along_o with_o it_o therefore_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o break_v here_o there_o be_v a_o aggravation_n of_o the_o hardness_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o great_a as_o if_o we_o shall_v behold_v jesus_n christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o our_o heart_n not_o break_v there_o and_o indeed_o this_o be_v a_o special_a reason_n why_o those_o be_v say_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o

christ_n be_v shed_v for_o sin_n and_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v affect_v with_o it_o but_o shall_v have_v account_v it_o as_o a_o common_a thing_n this_o man_n in_o some_o regard_n may_v have_v be_v
