devil_n out_o of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v dumb_a cause_v the_o fame_n of_o christ_n to_o have_v great_a renown_n through_o many_o part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o though_o for_o all_o this_o his_o enemy_n will_v not_o acknowledge_v the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n yet_o a_o certain_a young_a woman_n as_o may_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o history_n come_v and_o lift_v up_o her_o voice_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o bless_a be_v the_o womb_n that_o bear_v thou_o and_o the_o pap_n that_o thou_o have_v suck_v now_o christ_n instead_o of_o give_v her_o thanks_o for_o applaud_v of_o he_o do_v rather_o give_v she_o a_o rebuke_n a_o check_n and_o say_v i_o will_v tell_v thou_o who_o be_v bless_v rather_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o bear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o thus_o you_o have_v the_o coherence_n of_o the_o word_n this_o speech_n of_o the_o woman_n be_v a_o proverbial_a speech_n among_o the_o jew_n when_o any_o person_n do_v a_o acheivement_n that_o be_v praise_v worthy_a they_o will_v cry_v out_o and_o say_v bless_a be_v the_o womb_n that_o bear_v thou_o and_o from_o this_o proverbial_a speech_n i_o will_v note_v thus_o much_o observa_fw-la ∣_o tion_n viz._n that_o good_a child_n be_v a_o great_a praise_n and_o blessing_n to_o their_o parent_n this_o woman_n can_v bless_v the_o mother_n of_o christ_n who_o bear_v such_o a_o son_n as_o he_o be_v solomon_n say_v a_o wise_a son_n make_v a_o glad_a father_n pro._n 15.20_o and_o in_o many_o other_o place_n you_o read_v what_o great_a blessing_n 15.20_o pro_fw-la 15.20_o and_o honour_n do_v accrue_v to_o parent_n who_o the_o lord_n have_v bless_v with_o wise_a and_o godly_a child_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o scrípture_n mark_v those_o parent_n with_o a_o brand_n of_o reproach_n that_o bring_v forth_o wicked_a child_n into_o the_o world_n child_n to_o increase_v the_o number_n of_o the_o damn_a to_o fill_v hell_n and_o to_o pollute_v the_o earth_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o you_o so_o often_o read_v in_o scripture_n 10.1.5_o pro_fw-la 10.1.5_o that_o a_o wicked_a child_n be_v a_o shame_n to_o his_o parent_n pro._n 10.1.5_o use_v the_o use_n be_v to_o teach_v you_o who_o god_n have_v bless_v with_o good_a child_n to_o to_o be_v exceed_o thankful_a unto_o god_n for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a blessing_n unto_o you_o then_o if_o god_n shall_v fill_v your_o house_n with_o silver_n and_o gold_n and_o you_o who_o god_n have_v thus_o afflict_v in_o suffer_v bad_a child_n to_o come_v out_o of_o your_o loin_n oh_o mourn_v under_o the_o heavy_a hand_n of_o god_n that_o he_o have_v make_v you_o instrumental_a to_o bring_v forth_o child_n into_o the_o world_n which_o shall_v increase_v the_o number_n of_o the_o damn_a in_o hell_n thus_o much_o from_o the_o woman_n speech_n who_o say_v open_v the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n open_v bless_a be_v the_o womb_n that_o bear_v thou_o and_o the_o pap_n that_o give_v thou_o suck_v but_o christ_n say_v rather_o bless_a be_v they_o which_o bear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o christ_n say_v rather_o bless_v he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o his_o mother_n be_v not_o bless_v but_o that_o the_o woman_n may_v not_o too_o much_o dote_v on_o his_o mother_n to_o think_v that_o she_o be_v so_o great_o bless_v only_o for_o bear_v he_o in_o her_o womb_n therefore_o he_o say_v i_o will_v tell_v thou_o who_o indeed_o be_v the_o bless_a man_n and_o woman_n even_o they_o that_o bear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o christ_n will_v not_o give_v way_n to_o her_o applause_n but_o he_o give_v she_o a_o mild_a and_o love_a rebuke_n hence_o observe_v observation_n that_o you_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o you_o be_v not_o tickle_v with_o pride_n when_o you_o hear_v yourselves_o or_o you_o commend_v christ_n will_v give_v no_o way_n to_o the_o woman_n commendation_n she_o think_v that_o the_o virgin_n mary_n be_v the_o happy_a woman_n in_o all_o the_o world_n yet_o christ_n put_v a_o rather_o on_o they_o that_o make_v conscience_n of_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v of_o it_o a_o beleiver_n hear_v and_o obey_v jesus_n christ_n be_v rather_o bless_v in_o so_o do_v than_o the_o virgin_n mary_n be_v mere_o for_o bring_v christ_n into_o the_o world_n although_o it_o be_v the_o happy_a birth_n that_o ever_o be_v bring_v forth_o oh_o how_o shall_v this_o be_v a_o spur_n unto_o you_o to_o hear_v and_o to_o practice_v what_o you_o hear_v see_v that_o by_o so_o do_v you_o be_v thus_o bless_v observation_n 1_o now_o i_o shall_v observe_v something_o from_o the_o manner_n or_o form_n of_o expression_n that_o christ_n do_v here_o use_v it_o be_v not_o say_v bless_a be_v they_o which_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o there_o be_v many_o sort_n of_o hearer_n who_o come_v short_a of_o blessedness_n but_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o that_o incorporate_v it_o into_o their_o soul_n and_o become_v transform_v into_o the_o image_n of_o it_o there_o be_v four_o fort_n of_o hearer_n speak_v of_o mat._n 13._o 13._o mat._n 13._o and_o three_o of_o they_o fall_v short_a of_o blessedness_n all_o hearer_n although_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o they_o hear_v do_v not_o attain_v unto_o blessedness_n it_o be_v not_o hear_v but_o keep_v and_o observe_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o make_v man_n bless_v observation_n 2_o 2._o observe_v again_o that_o it_o be_v not_o say_v bless_a be_v you_o that_o believe_v although_o it_o be_v indeed_o a_o truth_n that_o all_o true_a beleiver_n be_v bless_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o say_v lest_o man_n shall_v think_v that_o a_o naked_a believe_v be_v enough_o to_o make_v they_o bless_v or_o lest_o they_o shall_v think_v that_o they_o be_v above_o hear_v pray_v or_o receive_v which_o be_v the_o proud_a aspire_a vanity_n of_o many_o in_o this_o age_n observation_n 3_o neither_o be_v it_o say_v bless_a be_v you_o that_o keep_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o a_o disjunction_n from_o hear_v but_o in_o a_o conjunction_n with_o hear_v bless_a be_v you_o that_o hear_v and_o keep_v many_o man_n pretend_v to_o a_o great_a perfection_n of_o life_n and_o conversation_n in_o keep_v what_o christ_n command_v but_o it_o be_v with_o a_o disjunction_n from_o hear_v they_o leave_v off_o hear_v the_o word_n but_o those_o only_o be_v bless_v in_o the_o esteem_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o hear_v and_o keep_v the_o word_n of_o god_n observation_n 4_o again_o it_o be_v not_o say_v bless_a shall_v you_o be_v that_o hear_v and_o keep_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o bless_a be_v you_o to_o show_v that_o you_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v bless_v when_o you_o come_v to_o heaven_n but_o that_o you_o be_v bless_v in_o so_o do_v whilst_o you_o be_v here_o on_o earth_n rom._n 6.22_o 6.22_o rom._n 6.22_o but_o now_o be_v make_v free_a from_o sin_n and_o become_v servant_n unto_o god_n you_o have_v your_o fruit_n unto_o holiness_n and_o the_o end_n everlasting_a life_n thou_o have_v thy_o fruit_n o_o man_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o holy_a man_n even_o before_o thou_o come_v to_o everlasting_a life_n observation_n 5_o again_o it_o be_v not_o say_v only_o bless_a be_v you_o if_o you_o hear_v and_o keep_v but_o if_o you_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o thou_o may_v hear_v man_n that_o preach_v damnable_a error_n and_o keep_v they_o fast_o in_o thy_o heart_n but_o in_o this_o case_n thou_o be_v near_o a_o curse_v than_o a_o blessing_n man_n may_v be_v follower_n of_o sermon_n but_o if_o those_o sermon_n which_o they_o hear_v and_o practice_n be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o the_o scripture_n they_o be_v under_o a_o curse_n and_o not_o a_o blessing_n by_o what_o they_o bear_v therefore_o the_o holyghost_n here_o faith_n bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o this_o shall_v teach_v man_n how_o they_o hear_v who_o they_o hear_v and_o what_o they_o hear_v that_o they_o hear_v nothing_o but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o then_o keep_v what_o they_o hear_v we_o read_v of_o teacher_n who_o shall_v bring_v in_o damnable_a heresy_n and_o that_o many_o shall_v follow_v their_o pernicious_a way_n 3._o ●_o pet._n 2.1_o 2_o 3._o 2_o pet._n 2.1_o 2_o 3._o but_o there_o be_v false_a prophet_n also_o among_o the_o people_n even_o as_o there_o shall_v be_v false_a teacher_n among_o you_o who_o privy_o shall_v bring_v in_o damnable_a heresy_n even_o to_o deny_v the_o lord_n that_o buy_v they_o and_o bring_v upon_o themselves_o swift_a destruction_n and_o many_o shall_v follow_v their_o pernicious_a way_n by_o reason_n of_o who_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n shall_v be_v evil_o

they_o come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v there_o not_o many_o that_o have_v live_v to_o gray_a hair_n and_o be_v hasten_v to_o the_o grave_n who_o never_o put_v their_o hand_n to_o any_o work_n which_o god_n send_v they_o into_o the_o world_n for_o to_o do_v belove_a i_o will_v leave_v with_o you_o one_o sad_a text_n of_o scripture_n and_o it_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v engrave_v in_o gold_n esay_n

lie_v upon_o your_o conscience_n let_v not_o this_o be_v the_o worm_n to_o gnaw_v you_o in_o hell_n to_o remember_v that_o you_o live_v long_o in_o the_o world_n &_o yet_o do_v not_o the_o work_n for_o which_o god_n send_v you_o into_o the_o world_n now_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o four_o observation_n out_o of_o these_o word_n doctrine_n 4_o doctrine_n i_o pray_v

speak_v of_o and_o through_o covetousness_n shall_v they_o with_o feign_a word_n make_v merchandise_n of_o you_o who_o judgement_n now_o of_o a_o long_a time_n linger_v not_o now_o they_o be_v not_o bless_v that_o hear_v man_n that_o bring_v in_o such_o damnable_a heresy_n the_o scripture_n do_v not_o entail_v blessing_n on_o all_o hear_n but_o on_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v of_o it_o observation_n 6_o again_o it_o be_v not_o say_v bless_a also_o but_o bless_v rather_o christ_n do_v not_o say_v my_o mother_n be_v a_o bless_a woman_n and_o they_o also_o be_v bless_v that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o but_o christ_n come_v in_o with_o a_o rather_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v i_o account_v those_o man_n and_o woman_n rather_o bless_v than_o my_o own_o mother_n mere_o for_o be_v instrumental_a in_o bring_v i_o into_o the_o world_n oh_o how_o shall_v the_o consideration_n hereof_o inflame_v your_o heart_n and_o provoke_v you_o to_o a_o diligent_a hear_n of_o god_n word_n and_o conscientious_a practife_v of_o what_o you_o hear_v there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a phrase_n in_o all_o the_o bible_n observation_n 7_o it_o be_v not_o say_v rather_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v my_o word_n and_o my_o say_n it_o be_v so_o say_v in_o some_o other_o place_n but_o here_o it_o be_v say_v they_o that_o hear_v god_n word_n for_o have_v christ_n say_v rather_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v my_o word_n than_o people_n may_v have_v think_v that_o christ_n do_v impute_v blessedness_n only_o to_o his_o own_o preach_n and_o to_o those_o that_o hear_v he_o personal_o preach_v therefore_o christ_n faith_n rather_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v god_n word_n be_v it_o preach_v by_o peter_n paul_n or_o apollo_n by_o any_o disciple_n now_o live_v or_o by_o any_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o shall_v live_v afterward_o to_o the_o world_n end_n whosoever_o shall_v hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o keep_v it_o they_o be_v rather_o bless_v then_o my_o mother_n be_v if_o she_o be_v consider_v only_o as_o instrumental_a to_o the_o bring_n of_o i_o into_o the_o world_n and_o in_o this_o expression_n there_o be_v a_o secret_a glory_n or_o honour_n put_v upon_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o jesus_n christ_n who_o will_v not_o limit_v the_o blessing_n to_o his_o own_o preach_n but_o extend_v it_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o any_o minister_n mouth_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n as_o many_o think_v of_o that_o say_n in_o scripture_n viz._n he_o that_o beleive_v shall_v do_v great_a work_n than_o christ_n do_v it_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n but_o of_o the_o ministerial_a work_n that_o a_o faithful_a minister_n shall_v convert_v more_o soul_n than_o christ_n by_o his_o ministry_n do_v convert_v christ_n indeed_o can_v have_v convert_v all_o that_o hear_v he_o but_o he_o do_v it_o not_o lest_o man_n shall_v have_v think_v that_o they_o must_v have_v hear_v none_o but_o christ_n we_o do_v not_o read_v of_o many_o that_o be_v convert_v by_o christ_n preach_v there_o be_v more_o convert_v by_o peter_n and_o other_o apostle_n then_o by_o christ_n himself_o this_o christ_n do_v that_o people_n may_v not_o despise_v any_o of_o his_o ordinary_a minister_n if_o christ_n have_v convert_v more_o than_o all_o the_o disciple_n people_n then_o will_v have_v slight_v the_o disciple_n and_o follow_v only_a christ_n this_o distemper_n begin_v to_o grow_v in_o the_o apostle_n day_n 1_o cor._n 1.12_o 1_o cor._n 1.12_o 1.12_o now_o this_o i_o say_v that_o every_o one_o of_o you_o say_v i_o be_o of_o paul_fw-mi i_o be_o of_o apollo_n i_o be_o of_o cephas_n and_o i_o be_o of_o christ_n the_o apostle_n blame_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v say_v i_o be_o of_o christ_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o as_o though_o man_n be_v blame-wothy_a for_o follow_v and_o love_v of_o christ_n god_n forbid_v it_o be_v our_o high_a duty_n so_o to_o do_v but_o there_o be_v some_o in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n who_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v i_o care_v not_o for_o hear_v of_o paul_n or_o apollo_n but_o i_o be_o only_o for_o hear_v of_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v a_o vain_a and_o sinful_a cry_v up_o of_o christ_n thus_o for_o man_n to_o cry_v up_o christ_n to_o preach_v christ_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n to_o cry_v down_o the_o ministry_n this_o be_v sinful_a and_o christ_n will_v never_o own_o this_o to_o be_v a_o preach_n of_o he_o for_o christ_n faith_n bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o let_v it_o be_v preach_v by_o any_o faithful_a minister_n whatsoever_o observation_n 8_o again_o it_o be_v not_o say_v bless_a be_v they_o for_o hear_v and_o for_o keep_v but_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v and_o that_o keep_v blessedness_n do_v never_o come_v with_o a_o for_o but_o with_o a_o if_o or_o a_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o bless_v thou_o for_o thy_o hear_n although_o thou_o hear_v as_o many_o sermon_n as_o there_o be_v day_n in_o the_o year_n but_o he_o bless_v they_o that_o hear_v in_o obedience_n to_o his_o command_n and_o practice_v what_o they_o here_o thus_o you_o have_v eight_o note_n from_o the_o form_n of_o speech_n which_o christ_n here_o use_v god_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o keep_v the_o word_n of_o god_n now_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o show_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o keep_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o we_o hear_v and_o there_o be_v a_o double_a keep_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 2.19_o 1_o a_o keep_v it_o in_o our_o memory_n luke_n 2.19_o first_o there_o be_v a_o keep_n of_o it_o in_o your_o memory_n luke_n 2.19_o marry_o keep_v all_o these_o thing_n and_o ponder_v they_o in_o her_o heart_n she_o keep_v they_o in_o memory_n out_o memory_n shall_v be_v as_o the_o ark_n wherein_o the_o pot_n of_o manna_n be_v keep_v the_o pot_n of_o manna_n be_v divine_a truth_n these_o shall_v be_v keep_v safe_a in_o our_o memory_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o keep_n here_o speak_v of_o for_o there_o be_v many_o man_n that_o have_v good_a memory_n to_o keep_v what_o they_o hear_v and_o yet_o have_v neither_o good_a heart_n nor_o good_a life_n and_o therefore_o not_o bless_v by_o their_o keep_n second_o practice_n 2_o a_o keep_n of_o the_o word_n in_o our_o practice_n there_o be_v a_o keep_n of_o the_o word_n in_o your_o practice_n and_o that_o be_v do_v when_o there_o be_v a_o conscionable_a ear_n to_o square_v your_o life_n and_o conversation_n answerable_a to_o what_o you_o hear_v or_o know_v now_o blessed_n be_v you_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n &_o thus_o keep_v it_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v open_v all_o the_o difficulty_n that_o may_v appear_v in_o the_o word_n doctrine_n the_o observation_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o they_o be_v rather_o bless_v that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o practice_v what_o they_o hear_v than_o the_o mother_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v for_o bring_v he_o into_o the_o world_n it_o be_v a_o point_n i_o confess_v which_o do_v well_o deserve_v a_o scan_n and_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v in_o the_o bible_n it_o will_v have_v be_v incredible_a that_o christ_n shall_v put_v a_o rather_o on_o thou_o o_o man_n or_o woman_n in_o every_o age_n of_o the_o world_n that_o shall_v hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o it_o be_v worthy_a your_o notice_n what_o a_o different_a dialect_n be_v use_v by_o the_o woman_n in_o the_o text_n and_o elizabeth_n that_o be_v kinswoman_n to_o

out_o luke_n 1.45_o blessed_n be_v she_o that_o beleive_v upon_o which_o word_n a_o learned_a author_n have_v a_o very_a good_a note_n faith_n he_o if_o the_o virgin_n mary_n have_v not_o bear_v christ_n in_o her_o heart_n by_o faith_n as_o well_o as_o in_o her_o womb_n she_o have_v not_o be_v bless_v for_o elizabeth_n here_o declare_v wherein_o the_o blessedness_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o of_o all_o the_o elect_n consist_v now_o how_o may_v this_o confute_v the_o dotage_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n reprehension_n use_v for_o reprehension_n that_o do_v so_o excessive_o cry_v
