now_o therefore_o let_v we_o see_v how_o by_o the_o direction_n and_o aid_n of_o those_o place_n a_o single_a theme_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v expound_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o hearer_n

this_o order_n of_o question_n but_o yet_o this_o difference_n be_v to_o be_v mark_v between_o a_o logician_n or_o philosopher_n and_o a_o divine_a preacher_n the_o logician_n true_o by_o his_o own_o

most_o congruent_a to_o the_o understanding_n of_o his_o hearer_n and_o also_o most_o fit_a for_o the_o place_n and_o time_n wherefore_o albeit_o be_v premeditate_v at_o home_n in_o his_o study_n what_o thing_n be_v expedient_a to_o be_v propound_v in_o the_o church_n have_v those_o question_n before_o his_o eye_n as_o the_o moderator_n of_o his_o thought_n yet_o after_o that_o he_o have_v some_o while_n debate_v the_o matter_n he_o stick_v fast_a in_o the_o investigation_n only_o of_o one_o or_o two_o or_o else_o of_o three_o question_n at_o the_o most_o hereupon_o therefore_o grow_v the_o custom_n whereby_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o pastor_n of_o church_n do_v in_o the_o first_o place_n learned_o discover_v what_o the_o thing_n be_v of_o which_o they_o purpose_v to_o

now_o reason_n require_v that_o we_o add_v also_o a_o example_n of_o the_o other_o form_n form_n in_o which_o namely_o no_o continual_a narration_n be_v knit_v together_o but_o some_o doctrine_n be_v

john_n baptist_n see_v jesus_n come_n unto_o he_o have_v in_o deed_n a_o very_a brief_n but_o yet_o a_o grave_n and_o and_o high_a sermon_n as_o touch_v christ_n whereof_o he_o himself_o make_v this_o the_o end_n say_v i_o have_v see_v and_o testify_v that_o this_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god._n it_o be_v plain_a therefore_o that_o all_o that_o sermon_n of_o john_n tend_v to_o this_o end_n 1_o that_o he_o may_v declare_v christ_n to_o be_v god_n the_o son_n of_o god._n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n it_o be_v learned_o declare_v that_o christ_n be_v both_o god_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o also_o man_n and_o that_o two_o nature_n do_v consist_v in_o one_o person_n wherefore_o in_o the_o very_a entry_n of_o the_o epistle_n it_o be_v clear_o say_v that_o god_n the_o father_n as_o he_o speak_v in_o time_n paste_v to_o our_o forefather_n which_o believe_v by_o his_o prophet_n so_o in_o these_o late_a day_n he_o have_v speak_v by_o his_o son_n very_o god_n and_o very_a man._n and_o that_o this_o scope_n or_o state_n ought_v always_o first_o to_o be_v find_v out_o before_o it_o be_v pronounce_v as_o touch_v the_o kind_n of_o the_o sermon_n it_o be_v above_o rehearse_v second_o two_o in_o the_o example_n of_o this_o form_n many_o and_o diverse_a argument_n be_v find_v for_o the_o most_o part_n orderly_a dispose_v and_o apply_v to_o confirm_v one_o and_o the_o same_o state_n or_o article_n of_o doctrine_n those_o it_o behoove_v always_o so_o to_o be_v take_v and_o expound_v as_o that_o they_o may_v be_v understand_v to_o tend_v direct_o to_o the_o self_n same_o

that_o in_o examine_v of_o every_o argument_n many_o and_o diverse_a place_n ought_v not_o rash_o to_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o part_n or_o member_n of_o they_o and_o that_o least_o such_o plenty_n and_o diversity_n may_v withdraw_v the_o mind_n from_o the_o chief_a and_o principal_a state_n or_o scope_n of_o the_o matter_n last_o four_o albeit_o some_o place_n also_o may_v be_v draw_v forth_o such_o inesp●ciallye_o as_o be_v diverse_a and_o some_o what_o different_a from_o the_o state_n itself_o yet_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v expedient_a to_o stand_v overlong_o in_o the_o

seem_v good_a thus_o brief_o to_o premise_v let_v we_o take_v in_o hand_n therefore_o the_o short_a sermon_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n touch_v our_o lord_n christ_n example_n as_o it_o be_v read_v john_n 1._o john_n see_v jefus_fw-la come_n unto_o he_o and_o say_v behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n which_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n this_o be_v he_o of_o who_o i_o say_v after_o

that_o by_o his_o presence_n he_o may_v cause_v he_o to_o be_v strong_a courageous_a and_o constant_a in_o the_o office_n of_o teach_v as_o also_o that_o by_o such_o a_o occasion_n the_o people_n
