respect_n of_o it_o the_o sun_n be_v but_o a_o creature_n this_o be_v the_o light_a uncreated_a of_o the_o glorious_a god_n the_o very_a essence_n of_o god_n count_v of_o it_o as_o thou_o will_v now_o

therefore_o the_o lord_n be_v threaten_v to_o take_v it_o from_o thy_o ear_n also_o and_o so_o will_v be_v see_v on_o edinburgh_n one_o day_n the_o eye_n be_v always_o upon_o man_n but_o thou_o look_v

now_o i_o shall_v take_v up_o the_o next_o verse_n short_o and_o so_o i_o shall_v end_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n the_o apostle_n give_v the_o reason_n wherefore_o they_o to_o who_o the_o gospel_n

and_o what_o preach_v i_o of_o myself_o ourselves_o your_o servant_n for_o christ_n jesus_n sake_n for_o the_o bridegroom_n cause_n i_o be_v a_o servant_n to_o the_o bride_n for_o his_o cause_n who_o be_v the_o only_a head_n and_o lord_n of_o the_o church_n i_o be_v a_o servant_n to_o the_o church_n then_o of_o this_o reason_n mark_v this_o lesson_n a_o man_n who_o the_o lord_n rail_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n not_o to_o seek_v himself_o nor_o his_o own_o advancement_n nor_o worldly_a riches_n nor_o honour_n but_o only_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n in_o sincerity_n what_o effect_n

if_o thou_o get_v not_o repentance_n in_o time_n and_o if_o the_o gospel_n preach_v by_o a_o sincere_a man_n have_v not_o fructify_v in_o thou_o all_o his_o preach_n be_v but_o a_o seal_n to_o thou_o of_o thy_o damnation_n and_o in_o the_o great_a day_n shall_v stand_v up_o and_o aggrege_n thy_o judgement_n mark_v another_o thing_n here_o what_o be_v this_o that_o make_v this_o man_n so_o bold_a he_o will_v denounce_v perdition_n excecation_n and_o blind-folding_a by_o the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n i_o assure_v you_o this_o be_v a_o bold_a speech_n to_o denounce_v damnation_n but_o what_o make_v he_o so_o bold_a you_o see_v it_o in_o a_o word_n the_o conscience_n of_o his_o own_o sincerity_n that_o in_o his_o preach_n he_o seek_v not_o himself_o but_o the_o lord_n his_o master_n there_o be_v the_o lesson_n a_o man_n who_o the_o lord_n will_v send_v and_o the_o lord_n as_o certain_o will_v send_v man_n to_o speak_v in_o sincerity_n his_o message_n as_o ever_o he_o send_v any_o

and_o rebellious_a people_n and_o he_o will_v be_v bold_a to_o take_v thou_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o ear_n suppose_v thou_o be_v a_o king_n and_o lead_v thou_o to_o that_o tribunal_n to_o hear_v the_o sentence_n of_o damnation_n pronounce_v against_o thou_o the_o lord_n give_v i_o this_o sincerity_n and_o then_o i_o will_v not_o care_v for_o all_o the_o king_n and_o all_o the_o man_n in_o

see_v in_o this_o text_n there_o be_v no_o lord_n but_o the_o lord_n jesus_n who_o will_v tread_v down_o all_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o earth_n and_o tread_v upon_o their_o neck_n at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o more_o i_o see_v there_o be_v no_o lady_n nor_o queen_n but_o the_o church_n the_o spouse_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o for_o king_n queen_n politics_n in_o the_o earth_n all_o be_v but_o

3._o vers_fw-la 22._o speak_v of_o himself_o and_o other_o all_o be_v you_o say_v he_o whether_o it_o be_v paul_n or_o apollo_n or_o cephas_n etc._n etc._n even_o so_o all_o be_v you_o all_o be_v but_o servant_n to_o you_o you_o be_v christ_n he_o be_v your_o lord_n you_o have_v none_o other_o lord_n but_o christ_n then_o the_o church_n must_v have_v a_o great_a prerogative_n jurisdiction_n

with_o these_o three_o pillar_n desire_v regeneration_n and_o the_o spirit_n the_o apostle_n have_v not_o full_a contentation_n of_o heart_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o see_v not_o the_o
