at_o the_o dedication_n of_o the_o temple_n which_o god_n take_v so_o kind_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o solomon_n that_o he_o will_v not_o dwell_v in_o it_o himself_o though_o it_o be_v so_o much_o fame_v in_o the_o world_n but_o give_v it_o up_o to_o the_o lord_n that_o god_n so_o fill_v the_o house_n with_o his_o glory_n that_o the_o priest_n can_v not_o enter_v in_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o 2_o

power_n of_o god_n as_o peter_n call_v it_o that_o will_v make_v we_o partaker_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o pertain_v to_o life_n and_o godliness_n and_o so_o fill_v our_o meeting_n with_o great_a glory_n than_o at_o the_o beginning_n when_o few_o word_n oftentimes_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n to_o god_n praise_n and_o glory_n and_o to_o the_o comfort_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o people_n these_o pastor_n which_o god_n raise_v up_o at_o the_o beginning_n according_a to_o his_o own_o heart_n go_v out_o to_o god_n work_n as_o abraham_n do_v out_o of_o his_o country_n and_o father_n house_n not_o know_v whither_o so_o they_o not_o question_v god_n assistance_n or_o disposal_n of_o they_o in_o his_o service_n and_o like_o israel_n when_o they_o leave_v egypt_n and_o set_v forth_o their_o three_o day_n journey_n say_v we_o know_v not_o wherewith_o we_o shall_v serve_v god_n until_o we_o come_v there_o so_o poor_a in_o spirit_n be_v they_o in_o that_o day_n and_o so_o close_o keep_v they_o retire_v unto_o the_o light_n and_o measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n within_o that_o they_o dare_v not_o out_o of_o a_o holy_a fear_n open_v their_o mouth_n till_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v say_v as_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n speak_v and_o when_o that_o stop_v say_v they_o have_v do_v speak_v until_o it_o come_v again_o this_o be_v one_o great_a cause_n wherefore_o the_o truth_n at_o the_o beginning_n so_o mighty_o grow_v and_o prosper_v together_o with_o the_o holy_a conversation_n answerable_a thereunto_o of_o those_o that_o receive_v the_o truth_n in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o into_o the_o good_a and_o honest_a heart_n as_o it_o be_v write_v etc._n etc._n these_o thing_n i_o write_v unto_o you_o by_o way_n of_o remembrance_n to_o stir_v up_o your_o pure_a mind_n to_o follow_v these_o good_a example_n that_o those_o of_o latter_a time_n may_v beware_v of_o lust_a to_o speak_v many_o word_n and_o of_o think_v that_o may_v do_v the_o business_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o of_o lust_a to_o preach_v or_o pray_v to_o gratify_v a_o itch_a ear_n after_o speak_v or_o sometime_o to_o show_v their_o gift_n and_o elocution_n for_o applause_n this_o be_v not_o speak_v to_o stop_v the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o any_o nor_o to_o despise_v youth_n true_o sanctify_v and_o gift_v but_o that_o none_o may_v be_v exalt_v when_o they_o see_v people_n affect_v with_o their_o ministry_n pray_v observe_v christ_n caution_n to_o those_o early_a messenger_n that_o come_v and_o tell_v he_o that_o unclean_a spirit_n be_v subject_a to_o they_o etc._n etc._n by_o advise_v they_o not_o to_o rejoice_v in_o that_o but_o rather_o that_o their_o name_n be_v writren_a in_o heaven_n luke_n 10.20_o this_o may_v be_v a_o caution_n to_o all_o those_o of_o low_a attainment_n and_o less_o authority_n who_o have_v need_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o popularity_n or_o strive_v for_o a_o name_n on_o earth_n but_o be_v
