to_o mind_n that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n not_o to_o the_o simple_a and_o unlearned_a only_o but_o even_o to_o 16._o every_o one_o that_o

have_v to_o resort_v to_o the_o house_n of_o god_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a three_o the_o example_n of_o god_n faithful_a servant_n david_n be_v not_o only_o a_o wise_a and_o witty_a prince_n but_o a_o holy_a prophet_n likewise_o and_o a_o man_n for_o his_o piety_n and_o other_o spiritual_a grace_n most_o dear_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n yet_o who_o more_o desirous_a and_o forward_a to_o hear_v 36._o the_o word_n of_o god_n than_o he_o aquila_n and_o priscilla_n have_v better_a knowledge_n than_o apollos_n himself_o a_o eloquent_a preacher_n yet_o they_o disdain_v not_o to_o hear_v he_o nor_o he_o they_o though_o he_o be_v more_o learned_a in_o other_o thing_n last_o the_o public_a assembly_n of_o the_o church_n have_v more_o singular_a promise_n of_o 20._o god_n present_a grace_n and_o blessing_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o sundry_a place_n of_o scripture_n qu._n what_o be_v the_o four_o hindrance_n an._n a_o partial_a or_o rather_o schismatical_a respect_n of_o person_n such_o as_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n where_o 4_o some_o extol_v one_o &_o some_o another_o some_o paul_n some_o apollo_n qu._n whence_o proceed_v this_o respect_n of_o person_n an._n it_o proceed_v original_o from_o the_o hearer_n either_o from_o the_o ignorance_n of_o their_o mind_n or_o from_o the_o corruption_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o occasional_o from_o the_o teacher_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o diversity_n of_o their_o gift_n and_o manner_n of_o handle_v of_o the_o scripture_n qu._n how_o be_v man_n hinder_v by_o their_o own_o ignorance_n and_o corruption_n an._n when_o for_o want_n of_o judgement_n and_o sanctimony_n they_o prefer_v such_o as_o speak_v please_a thing_n and_o tickle_v their_o ear_n with_o eloquent_a term_n pleasant_a story_n and_o witty_a jest_n and_o can_v away_o with_o those_o that_o speak_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n and_o soberness_n 1._o and_o the_o thing_n as_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v that_o become_v wholesome_a doctrine_n especial_o if_o they_o do_v plain_o and_o roundly_o lay_v their_o sin_n 8._o before_o they_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o ahab_n can_v not_o endure_v 25._o michajah_n this_o make_v felix_n cut_v off_o paul_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o speech_n and_o put_v he_o off_o till_o 14._o another_o time_n hence_o spring_v the_o imprisonment_n of_o john_n baptist_n by_o herod_n qu._n what_o be_v the_o remedy_n against_o this_o hindrance_n an._n for_o a_o remedy_n against_o this_o evil_a we_o be_v to_o consider_v first_o that_o such_o partial_a respect_n of_o god_n minister_n 4._o argue_v a_o carnal_a and_o a_o fleshly_a mind_n and_o show_v that_o we_o be_v babe_n and_o child_n in_o christianity_n second_o that_o by_o this_o partiality_n we_o give_v to_o man_n more_o than_o his_o due_n and_o take_v from_o christ_n that_o which_o of_o 5_o right_n belong_v to_o he_o as_o appear_v three_o that_o this_o diversity_n and_o unequalitie_n of_o gift_n be_v not_o give_v for_o the_o rent_v and_o destroy_v but_o for_o the_o building_n and_o the_o beautify_v of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n even_o as_o the_o diversity_n and_o variety_n of_o flower_n in_o the_o same_o garden_n differ_v in_o colour_n smell_v taste_n and_o virtue_n bring_v no_o confusion_n nor_o deformity_n but_o do_v deck_v the_o ground_n and_o serve_v for_o the_o use_n and_o comfort_n of_o man_n and_o the_o manifold_a variety_n of_o string_n and_o instrument_n do_v make_v the_o sweet_a harmony_n four_o remember_v that_o no_o minister_n excel_v in_o all_o gift_n and_o yet_o no_o true_a minister_n but_o have_v some_o special_a gift_n and_o grace_n of_o edification_n one_o be_v more_o profound_a in_o knowledge_n to_o inform_v the_o judgement_n another_o more_o powerful_a in_o utterance_n for_o the_o inflame_a of_o the_o affection_n one_o be_v more_o fit_a to_o humble_v and_o beat_v down_o the_o proud_a careless_a and_o conceit_a person_n another_o to_o comfort_n and_o raise_v up_o penitent_a sinner_n one_o have_v a_o special_a grace_n to_o work_v godly_a sorrow_n another_o to_o procure_v 16_o supernatural_a comfort_n and_o joy_n five_o remember_v that_o the_o contempt_n of_o any_o true_a minister_n be_v the_o contempt_n of_o god_n himself_o six_o let_v it_o be_v keep_v in_o mind_n that_o christian_a hearer_n look_v rather_o to_o the_o pith_n and_o substance_n of_o the_o matter_n then_o to_o the_o enticement_n and_o painting_n of_o the_o speech_n quest._n what_o be_v the_o five_o hindrance_n to_o be_v remove_v before_o the_o sermon_n ans_fw-fr the_o five_o which_o may_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o former_a be_v a_o certain_a hatred_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o loathe_n of_o the_o ministry_n such_o as_o be_v in_o the_o jew_n which_o make_v they_o to_o 57_o fret_v at_o christ_n and_o stop_v their_o ear_n against_o he_o quest_n whence_o arise_v this_o hatred_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o ministry_n ans_fw-fr sometime_o from_o the_o personal_a behaviour_n of_o the_o minister_n himself_o but_o common_o from_o the_o matter_n which_o he_o deliver_v whereby_o the_o error_n of_o their_o judgement_n and_o corruption_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o life_n be_v lay_v open_a and_o reprove_v this_o 22._o make_v ahab_n to_o count_v elias_n his_o enemy_n and_o to_o hate_n michaiah_n 14._o and_o herod_n for_o the_o like_a
