edisie_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n which_o that_o you_o may_v the_o better_a do_v consider_v with_o i_o the_o point_n note_v in_o the_o thing_n whereunto_o they_o be_v exhort_v and_o the_o reason_n

in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o esau_n where_o they_o be_v bring_v in_o one_o exhort_v encourage_v and_o call_v upon_o another_o come_v let_v we_o go_v up_o to_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o

and_o i_o alas_o whither_o shall_v i_o go_v this_o then_o be_v the_o first_o point_n that_o we_o be_v to_o mark_v that_o they_o who_o be_v will_v to_o go_v up_o and_o build_v be_v not_o zerubbabel_n and_o joshua_n only_o but_o all_o the_o remnant_n of_o the_o people_n and_o all_o 30._o faithful_a christian_n be_v bind_v to_o build_v up_o themselves_o and_o other_o for_o both_o we_o be_v the_o

temple_n of_o god_n the_o second_o point_n to_o be_v note_v be_v that_o we_o be_v not_o only_o command_v to_o build_v but_o that_o with_o industry_n also_o and_o pain_n for_o the_o prophet_n say_v go_v up_o to_o the_o mountain_n bring_v wood_n and_o timber_n and_o build_v this_o house_n wherein_o by_o propose_v the_o particularity_n of_o the_o pain_n difficulty_n and_o labour_n he_o tell_v they_o that_o though_o indeed_o it_o be_v painful_a and_o hard_a yet_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n which_o god_n require_v of_o they_o to_o go_v up_o a_o hill_n be_v not_o very_o pleasant_a but_o to_o go_v up_o have_v carriage_n &_o burden_n must_v needs_o be_v troublesome_a now_o the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v not_o only_o to_o go_v up_o a_o hill_n but_o to_o carry_v up_o timber_n thither_o also_o and_o it_o seem_v the_o prophet_n will_v mention_v the_o hard_a thing_n for_o what_o be_v it_o to_o bring_v timber_n in_o the_o three_o of_o ezra_n 7._o it_o be_v declare_v how_o they_o give_v money_n to_o the_o carpenter_n and_o feller_n of_o wood_n and_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o oil_n unto_o they_o of_o tyrus_n and_o sidon_n to_o bring_v they_o caedar-wood_n 7._o from_o libanon_n to_o the_o sea_n to_o joppa_n so_o that_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o difficulty_n first_o in_o fell_n of_o the_o tree_n at_o libanon_n then_o of_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o sea_n to_o joppa_n than_o the_o carriage_n of_o they_o to_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o bring_n of_o they_o up_o to_o the_o mountain_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o no_o small_a weight_n nor_o importance_n and_o yet_o all_o this_o be_v but_o little_a in_o comparison_n of_o that_o which_o they_o be_v last_o command_v namely_o to_o build_v the_o house_n especial_o consider_v that_o
