power_n to_o encourage_v piety_n and_o good_a manner_n and_o all_o that_o be_v worthy_a of_o praise_n among_o men._n and_o whilst_o we_o make_v it_o manifest_a to_o the_o world_n that_o righteous_a

of_o a_o decent_a and_o honourable_a interment_n warrant_v by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o true_o primitive_a church_n and_o that_o any_o service_n to_o they_o beyond_o this_o be_v acceptable_a to_o

be_v specify_v in_o the_o text._n i_o be_o now_o to_o touch_v upon_o that_o intimation_n of_o the_o reward_n of_o it_o which_o we_o have_v in_o the_o text_n also_o as_o we_o have_v opportunity_n it_o be_v a_o true_a sense_n of_o these_o word_n to_o interpret_v they_o thus_o as_o often_o as_o occasion_n of_o charity_n present_v themselves_o and_o as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o

also_o the_o seed_n which_o he_o mean_v as_o we_o find_v by_o the_o 6_o verse_n be_v the_o good_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n and_o as_o by_o sow_v to_o the_o spirit_n he_o undoubted_o mean_v do_v good_a out_o of_o our_o worldly_a store_n to_o all_o man_n and_o especial_o to_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n so_o by_o sow_v to_o the_o flesh_n must_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n be_v mean_v the_o increase_n of_o our_o own_o possession_n and_o the_o serve_v of_o our_o own_o pleasure_n i_o will_v not_o say_v provide_v for_o inordinate_a lust_n for_o this_o be_v more_o than_o the_o text_n necessary_o imply_v though_o that_o be_v sow_v to_o the_o flesh_n too_o so_o that_o we_o will_v set_v that_o aside_o and_o consider_v what_o the_o use_n of_o that_o wealth_n will_v come_v to_o which_o be_v expend_v in_o thing_n not_o to_o be_v blame_v in_o goodly_a house_n and_o fine_a clothes_n and_o a_o plentiful_a table_n and_o the_o like_a for_o this_o be_v sow_v to_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o

remembrance_n of_o they_o which_o be_v all_o that_o be_v leave_v have_v neither_o pleasure_n nor_o profit_n in_o it_o and_o so_o he_o shall_v reap_v for_o this_o sow_v nothing_o but_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d corruption_n i._n e._n no_o increase_n but_o a_o loss_n of_o what_o he_o sow_v now_o true_a it_o be_v that_o thus_o we_o must_v all_o sow_v to_o the_o flesh_n in_o some_o degree_n or_o other_o we_o must_v provide_v for_o our_o own_o body_n and_o the_o need_v of_o our_o life_n and_o we_o may_v make_v a_o reasonable_a use_n of_o our_o wealth_n for_o the_o innocent_a pleasure_n of_o it_o too_o but_o this_o be_v that_o sow_v which_o will_v yield_v no_o harvest_n at_o last_o there_o be_v a_o enjoyment_n for_o the_o time_n but_o when_o the_o use_n be_v over_o there_o be_v no_o far_a profit_n to_o be_v expect_v so_o that_o he_o be_v say_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o sow_v to_o the_o flesh_n who_o do_v little_a or_o nothing_o else_o with_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o this_o world_n that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o but_o only_o set_v himself_o out_o with_o they_o and_o apply_v they_o whole_o to_o the_o serve_v of_o his_o own_o needs_o and_o pleasure_n for_o by_o he_o that_o sow_v to_o the_o spirit_n he_o can_v not_o mean_v one_o that_o make_v no_o use_n of_o his_o wealth_n for_o supply_v his_o own_o needs_o and_o necessity_n but_o one_o who_o do_v that_o and_o relieve_v other_o too_o now_o of_o he_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o shall_v reap_v life_n everlasting_a for_o though_o the_o seed_n be_v itself_o of_o a_o transitory_a carnal_a and_o perish_a nature_n yet_o be_v thus_o dispose_v to_o a_o spiritual_a use_n be_v cast_v into_o such_o a_o soil_n it_o

believe_v that_o all_o thing_n will_v go_v well_o now_o he_o be_v with_o they_o and_o so_o it_o prove_v for_o though_o they_o have_v make_v so_o little_a progress_n before_o yet_o now_o the_o ship_n

they_o keep_v together_o till_o the_o day_n follow_v and_o come_v to_o the_o shore_n where_o the_o disciple_n take_v ship_n the_o evening_n before_o and_o although_o they_o know_v there_o be_v no_o other_o boat_n there_o when_o the_o disciple_n go_v to_o sea_n but_o that_o into_o which_o they_o enter_v and_o that_o jesus_n do_v not_o go_v with_o they_o 23._o though_o there_o come_v other_o

and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o find_v jesus_n on_o that_o side_n they_o believe_v he_o be_v go_v after_o they_o though_o they_o know_v not_o how_o v._n 25._o and_o so_o they_o resolve_v to_o follow_v the_o disciple_n in_o those_o boat_n that_o be_v new_o come_v from_o tiberias_n hope_v to_o find_v jesus_n himself_o with_o they_o at_o capernaum_n or_o bethsaida_n 25._o and_o when_o they_o find_v he_o they_o desire_v to_o know_v by_o what_o miracle_n he_o get_v thither_o so_o soon_o for_o they_o know_v he_o go_v not_o over_o with_o his_o disciple_n and_o no_o other_o boat_n be_v on_o the_o other_o side_n to_o transport_v he_o but_o those_o in_o which_o they_o come_v and_o the_o way_n by_o land_n over_o the_o bridge_n of_o tiberias_n be_v too_o far_o about_o to_o get_v thither_o in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n 26._o but_o jesus_n without_o satisfy_v their_o curiosity_n in_o this_o matter_n turn_v the_o discourse_n to_o thing_n of_o great_a moment_n and_o answer_v they_o in_o this_o manner_n i_o certain_o know_v that_o you_o do_v not_o follow_v i_o for_o the_o true_a end_n of_o those_o miracle_n which_o i_o work_v which_o be_v that_o you_o may_v believe_v in_o i_o and_o obtain_v everlasting_a life_n but_o mere_o for_o that_o present_a benefit_n which_o you_o hope_v to_o receive_v by_o they_o as_o you_o do_v yesterday_o when_o you_o do_v eat_v etc._n etc._n 27._o but_o i_o have_v a_o far_a end_n in_o feed_v your_o body_n which_o now_o i_o require_v you_o to_o mind_n and_o that_o be_v to_o persuade_v you_o not_o to_o take_v so_o much_o pain_n for_o the_o prolong_n of_o a_o life_n which_o will_v short_o end_v as_o for_o that_o virtue_n and_o knowledge_n which_o be_v the_o food_n of_o soul_n and_o the_o mean_n of_o live_v happy_o for_o ever_o when_o this_o life_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o you_o shall_v follow_v the_o son_n of_o man_n for_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o the_o father_n have_v show_v he_o to_o be_v the_o person_n who_o shall_v convey_v these_o

sudden_o disgu_v with_o this_o spiritual_a doctrine_n that_o they_o reply_v in_o this_o manner_n we_o who_o have_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n do_v already_o know_v what_o work_v god_n require_v and_o can_v thou_o tell_v we_o what_o will_v be_v more_o please_v to_o he_o than_o our_o keep_n of_o the_o law_n 29._o jesus_n answer_v god_n have_v send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o reveal_v a_o

short_a this_o to_o believe_v he_o who_o god_n have_v send_v and_o to_o take_v his_o word_n for_o your_o security_n in_o do_v all_o that_o he_o require_v 30._o but_o they_o be_v so_o strange_o

they_o have_v so_o extol_v he_o v._n 14._o be_v now_o in_o their_o opinion_n nothing_o at_o all_o and_o so_o they_o reply_v to_o he_o as_o if_o they_o have_v say_v if_o thou_o pretend_v to_o a_o high_a doctrine_n than_o moses_n teach_v why_o do_v not_o thou_o show_v we_o equal_a if_o not_o great_a sign_n and_o wonder_n than_o he_o wrought_v that_o we_o may_v see_v they_o and_o believe_v

that_o they_o follow_v he_o for_o worldly_a advantage_n and_o not_o for_o instruction_n in_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a matter_n v._o 26._o so_o that_o find_v themselves_o disappoint_v it_o be_v not_o unlikely_a that_o they_o will_v fall_v in_o their_o opinion_n of_o he_o to_o which_o we_o may_v add_v that_o one_o main_a design_n of_o his_o follow_a discourse_n be_v to_o show_v that_o external_a evidence_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o create_v faith_n without_o the_o inward_a preparation_n of_o a_o sincere_a and_o honest_a mind_n which_o be_v very_o pertinent_a to_o the_o case_n of_o those_o man_n who_o be_v make_v confident_a that_o jesus_n be_v that_o prophet_n by_o the_o late_a miracle_n till_o they_o find_v that_o his_o doctrine_n be_v contrary_a to_o their_o worldly_a affection_n for_o which_o reason_n i_o have_v choose_v to_o continue_v the_o discourse_n in_o the_o paraphrase_n as_o the_o text_n seem_v to_o direct_v i._n e._n between_o jesus_n and_o the_o same_o
