3.16.17.18_o nor_o for_o all_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v and_o why_o because_o they_o think_v that_o christ_n that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o do_v they_o more_o hurt_n and_o more_o good_a now_o take_v any_o commander_n in_o the_o world_n when_o you_o regard_v not_o the_o punishment_n nor_o the_o reward_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o inflict_v or_o to_o give_v you_o his_o authority_n be_v go_v now_o when_o you_o set_v up_o christ_n and_o think_v so_o of_o christ_n you_o be_v ready_a to_o obey_v he_o and_o obey_v he_o rather_o than_o any_o other_o therefore_o consider_v with_o thyself_o this_o and_o consider_v serious_o ask_v thy_o heart_n the_o question_n what_o be_v that_o thou_o set_v up_o to_o be_v thy_o chief_a commander_n for_o there_o be_v three_o great_a commander_n in_o the_o world_n that_o divide_v all_o mankind_n between_o they_o almost_o and_o that_o be_v wealth_n and_o estate_n worldly_a credit_n and_o honour_n to_o live_v in_o esteem_n pleasure_n and_o delight_n now_o think_v with_o thyself_o when_o any_o of_o these_o three_o great_a commander_n come_v with_o any_o command_n contrary_a to_o that_o which_o christ_n command_v think_v with_o thyself_o what_o thou_o will_v do_v in_o such_o a_o case_n what_o be_v thou_o wont_n to_o do_v look_v to_o past_a experience_n look_v back_o to_o thy_o former_a way_n see_v what_o thou_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v think_v with_o thyself_o when_o such_o a_o command_n come_v what_o thy_o heart_n reason_n upon_o if_o concupiscence_n if_o a_o strong_a lust_n if_o a_o strong_a impetuous_a desire_n come_v and_o bid_v thou_o to_o do_v something_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o that_o which_o christ_n will_v have_v thou_o to_o do_v what_o be_v thou_o ready_a to_o do_v in_o such_o a_o case_n if_o thy_o profit_n the_o mainetenance_n of_o thy_o estate_n thy_o liberty_n thy_o wealth_n thy_o convenience_n in_o this_o world_n come_v and_o command_v thou_o to_o do_v one_o thing_n and_o thy_o conscience_n which_o be_v christ_n vicegerent_n come_v in_o his_o stead_n and_o command_v thou_o another_o thing_n what_o be_v thou_o ready_a to_o do_v in_o that_o case_n so_o when_o thy_o credit_n thy_o honour_n and_o reputation_n thy_o vain_a glory_n shall_v come_v and_o bid_v thou_o do_v one_o thing_n and_o christ_n shall_v bid_v thou_o do_v another_o what_o be_v thy_o resolution_n what_o be_v thou_o wont_a to_o do_v by_o this_o thou_o shall_v know_v whether_o thou_o set_v up_o christ_n as_o the_o chief_a commander_n in_o thy_o heart_n or_o no_o whether_o thou_o give_v he_o thy_o chief_a throne_n whether_o thou_o exalt_a he_o for_o god_n in_o thy_o heart_n you_o know_v when_o you_o exalt_v he_o for_o god_n every_o thing_n than_o yield_v if_o in_o truth_n he_o be_v set_v up_o for_o god_n in_o thy_o heart_n therefore_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v that_o thy_o heart_n set_v high_a whether_o thou_o exalt_a he_o most_o whether_o when_o any_o of_o these_o threaten_a cry_v command_n come_v thou_o can_v give_v they_o a_o absolute_a denial_n and_o say_v with_o thyself_o i_o will_v not_o obey_v you_o and_o if_o they_o threaten_v imprisonment_n or_o disgrace_n and_o loss_n of_o life_n and_o if_o i_o do_v not_o obey_v such_o a_o lust_n i_o shall_v be_v wring_v and_o pinch_v for_o it_o i_o shall_v lose_v such_o delight_n well_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o bear_v all_o this_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o they_o shall_v come_v with_o fair_a proffer_n you_o shall_v have_v this_o honour_n and_o this_o advancement_n and_o this_o convenience_n if_o thy_o heart_n can_v say_v now_o i_o will_v have_v none_o of_o you_o for_o i_o see_v it_o be_v a_o command_n contrary_a to_o he_o that_o be_v above_o who_o i_o have_v set_v up_o for_o my_o chief_a commander_n who_o i_o resolve_v to_o obey_v who_o i_o take_v to_o be_v great_a than_o all_o the_o friendship_n in_o the_o world_n than_o all_o the_o profit_n pleasure_n and_o credit_n in_o the_o world_n i_o say_v thus_o examine_v thyself_o what_o thy_o heart_n be_v towards_o christ_n what_o it_o be_v to_o his_o command_n and_o let_v i_o touch_v that_o by_o the_o way_n thou_o must_v also_o show_v thy_o obedience_n to_o christ_n in_o thy_o obedience_n to_o other_o my_o belove_a there_o be_v indifferent_a thing_n that_o be_v in_o themselves_o not_o of_o moment_n one_o way_n or_o other_o whether_o we_o do_v they_o or_o not_o do_v they_o and_o though_o the_o omission_n of_o they_o in_o themselves_o be_v nothing_o yet_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v of_o contempt_n and_o neglect_v of_o those_o that_o be_v set_v in_o superior_a place_n over_o you_o in_o such_o a_o case_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v it_o this_o be_v a_o rule_n and_o a_o true_a rule_n in_o divinity_n that_o indifferent_a thing_n may_v be_v omit_v except_o in_o two_o case_n in_o case_n of_o scandal_n and_o in_o case_n of_o neglect_n and_o contempt_n of_o authority_n therefore_o when_o there_o be_v neglect_n when_o man_n show_v contempt_n for_o that_o cause_n it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v though_o for_o the_o other_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v this_o i_o touch_v but_o by_o the_o way_n that_o you_o may_v consider_v it_o in_o your_o particular_a occasion_n now_o my_o belove_a you_o see_v these_o five_o thing_n by_o which_o you_o may_v know_v if_o you_o have_v take_v christ_n or_o no_o you_o know_v when_o a_o man_n come_v to_o examine_v himself_o whether_o he_o be_v a_o fit_a man_n a_o man_n that_o have_v any_o right_a to_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n he_o must_v consider_v whether_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n otherwise_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v either_o with_o this_o privilege_n or_o with_o any_o other_o now_o to_o be_v in_o christ_n there_o must_v as_o i_o say_v go_v a_o double_a act_n there_o must_v be_v one_o on_o thy_o own_o side_n there_o must_v be_v one_o act_n on_o thy_o part_n to_o take_v he_o and_o there_o must_v be_v a_o act_n on_o his_o part_n there_o go_v out_o a_o strength_n and_o a_o virtue_n from_o he_o by_o which_o he_o take_v thou_o and_o comprehend_v thou_o the_o time_n be_v past_a &_o i_o can_v proceed_v further_a only_o remember_v this_o that_o have_v be_v say_v to_o you_o and_o examine_v yourselves_o by_o it_o whether_o you_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n whether_o you_o make_v christ_n your_o chief_a excellency_n your_o chief_a treasure_n your_o chief_a joy_n your_o chief_a refuge_n your_o chief_a commander_n if_o thou_o find_v that_o thou_o have_v do_v this_o if_o thou_o find_v thy_o heart_n wrought_v to_o such_o a_o act_n as_o this_o to_o take_v christ_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n than_o thou_o have_v christ_n thou_o be_v in_o he_o than_o thou_o have_v a_o right_a in_o he_o and_o may_v come_v with_o comfort_n but_o if_o thou_o have_v it_o not_o than_o i_o must_v charge_v every_o one_o of_o you_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o who_o authority_n we_o come_v that_o you_o meddle_v not_o with_o such_o holy_a mystery_n my_o beloved_n you_o know_v what_o i_o have_v often_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n lay_v on_o man_n to_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n you_o know_v he_o that_o neglect_v the_o passeover_n be_v to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o people_n 23.29_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a sin_n so_o it_o be_v to_o omit_v the_o sacrament_n you_o have_v diverse_a sacrament_n every_o term_n and_o if_o your_o business_n hinder_v you_o from_o one_o you_o may_v come_v to_o another_o yea_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n lie_v upon_o you_o to_o come_v but_o yet_o we_o must_v give_v you_o a_o double_a charge_n one_o that_o you_o omit_v it_o not_o and_o another_o that_o you_o come_v not_o hither_o unless_o you_o be_v in_o christ_n what_o have_v thou_o to_o do_v that_o be_v a_o profane_a person_n thou_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o christ_n thou_o that_o be_v yet_o a_o stranger_n to_o he_o that_o thou_o shall_v thrust_v in_o to_o the_o lord_n table_n thou_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v it_o if_o thou_o do_v thou_o eat_v and_o drink_v thy_o own_o damnation_n in_o stead_n of_o thy_o salvation_n 11.29_o the_o second_o sermon_n and_o so_o now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o use_n use_v and_o that_o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o act_n of_o christ_n to_o make_v a_o union_n betwixt_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v he_o and_o he_o we_o there_o be_v a_o act_n of_o he_o that_o be_v there_o be_v a_o certain_a power_n or_o virtue_n come_v from_o he_o even_o as_o there_o do_v from_o the_o loadstone_n to_o the_o iron_n that_o draw_v thou_o to_o he_o there_o go_v out_o a_o virtue_n and_o power_n from_o he_o as_o to_o the_o woman_n
