truth_n upon_o the_o lord_n day_n if_o you_o will_v hide_v they_o thus_o in_o your_o heart_n and_o keep_v they_o all_o the_o week_n they_o will_v help_v you_o against_o the_o many_o temptation_n that_o you_o meet_v withal_o you_o go_v abroad_o on_o the_o week_n day_n into_o company_n and_o there_o you_o meet_v with_o a_o temptation_n and_o it_o overcome_v you_o and_o you_o complain_v alas_o i_o be_o weak_a i_o have_v meet_v with_o a_o temptation_n and_o it_o have_v foil_v i_o but_o have_v you_o hide_v the_o word_n that_o you_o hear_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o your_o heart_n it_o will_v have_v keep_v you_o from_o the_o strength_n of_o your_o temptation_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o have_v overcome_v you_o those_o that_o be_v true_o godly_a they_o have_v a_o care_n to_o hide_v the_o word_n in_o their_o heart_n when_o they_o hear_v it_o they_o think_v this_o word_n shall_v help_v i_o against_o such_o and_o such_o sin_n which_o i_o be_o prone_a to_o by_o nature_n and_o when_o a_o temptation_n come_v to_o that_o sin_n i_o hope_v i_o shall_v have_v use_n of_o the_o word_n that_o i_o have_v hear_v this_o day_n as_o now_o suppose_v you_o hear_v a_o word_n against_o passion_n than_o you_o shall_v hide_v that_o word_n in_o your_o heart_n against_o that_o time_n that_o temptation_n come_v to_o passion_n and_o you_o hear_v a_o word_n against_o sensuality_n and_o abuse_n of_o the_o creature_n you_o shall_v hide_v that_o word_n against_o that_o temptation_n come_v and_o you_o hear_v a_o word_n against_o unrighteousness_n and_o unjust_a deal_n when_o a_o temptation_n come_v to_o that_o sin_n you_o shall_v hide_v that_o word_n against_o that_o time_n so_o you_o hear_v a_o word_n that_o speak_v of_o obedience_n to_o parent_n and_o servant_n duty_n to_o governor_n now_o you_o shall_v hide_v that_o word_n in_o your_o heart_n against_o that_o time_n i_o have_v hide_v thy_o word_n in_o my_o heart_n that_o i_o may_v not_o sin_v against_o thou_o you_o say_v that_o you_o will_v fain_o withstand_v and_o not_o be_v overcome_v with_o temptation_n why_o here_o be_v the_o way_n hide_v the_o word_n within_o thou_o that_o thou_o may_v not_o sin_v against_o he_o and_o so_o in_o pro._n 2._o 1._o you_o have_v a_o scripture_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n about_o hide_v the_o commandment_n within_o we_o and_o then_o in_o 1_o joh._n 2._o 14._o i_o write_v unto_o you_o young_a man_n because_o you_o be_v strong_a and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n abide_v in_o you_o and_o you_o have_v overcome_v the_o wicked_a one_o i_o have_v write_v to_o you_o young_a man_n you_o be_v yowg_a you_o have_v strong_a nature_n and_o so_o strength_n of_o nature_n for_o god_n but_o how_o come_v this_o to_o pass_v you_o be_v strong_a and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n abide_v in_o you_o here_o be_v a_o excellent_a scripture_n for_o all_o young_a man_n you_o have_v your_o memory_n fresh_a and_o if_o you_o will_v exercise_v your_o memory_n about_o any_o thing_n it_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o comely_a and_o a_o excellent_a thing_n to_o see_v young_a one_o to_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n abide_v in_o they_o that_o if_o you_o come_v to_o they_o not_o only_o a_o week_n but_o a_o month_n after_o they_o have_v hear_v the_o word_n they_o be_v able_a to_o give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o it_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o there_o be_v many_o young_a one_o in_o this_o place_n that_o be_v able_a to_o give_v you_o old_a one_o if_o you_o ask_v they_o a_o account_n of_o what_o it_o be_v to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o worship_n and_o why_o because_o the_o word_n of_o god_n abide_v in_o they_o it_o be_v the_o honour_n of_o young_a man_n to_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o abide_v in_o they_o and_o hereby_o they_o overcome_v the_o wicked_a one_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n many_o young_a people_n that_o do_v come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n it_o may_v be_v they_o be_v draw_v to_o it_o by_o other_o or_o it_o may_v be_v they_o love_v to_o have_v a_o walk_n in_o the_o morning_n but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n abide_v not_o in_o they_o and_o therefore_o when_o the_o wicked_a one_o come_v with_o temptation_n the_o week_n after_o they_o be_v overcome_v by_o he_o but_o those_o that_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n abide_v in_o they_o they_o overcome_v the_o wicked_a one_o and_o so_o in_o job_n 8._o 31._o you_o have_v a_o very_a

man_n do_v not_o accomplish_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n there_o be_v some_o other_o particular_n which_o be_v lay_v down_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o 3_o main_a point_n sermon_n ii_o

meaning_n of_o they_o and_o speak_v of_o divers_a note_n of_o observation_n that_o we_o gather_v from_o this_o story_n of_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n and_o of_o god_n deal_v with_o they_o from_o the_o general_a story_n of_o it_o there_o be_v many_o point_n of_o notable_a observation_n that_o be_v draw_v from_o thence_o i_o will_v add_v some_o few_o now_o and_o so_o come_v to_o the_o main_a doctrinal_a point_n in_o the_o text._n a_o further_a note_n of_o observation_n be_v this_o obser_n that_o many_o time_n even_o the_o dear_a saint_n of_o god_n do_v meet_v with_o very_o sore_a and_o grievous_a affliction_n in_o their_o child_n that_o the_o most_o eminent_a saint_n of_o god_n be_v not_o free_v from_o very_o grievous_a affliction_n even_o in_o their_o child_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o sore_a affliction_n that_o almost_o ever_o any_o saint_n of_o god_n meet_v withal_o in_o his_o child_n this_o affliction_n of_o aaron_n at_o this_o time_n that_o two_o of_o his_o son_n and_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o last_o day_n renown_a man_n in_o israel_n new_o consecrate_v to_o the_o office_n of_o priesthood_n that_o the_o very_o first_o day_n they_o come_v to_o offer_v in_o their_o office_n they_o be_v strike_v before_o all_o the_o people_n with_o fire_n from_o heaven_n and_o consume_v oh_o what_o a_o sad_a affliction_n be_v it_o to_o aaron_n their_o father_n when_o he_o see_v his_o son_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n destroy_v by_o god_n himself_o consider_v of_o this_o you_o that_o have_v child_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o murmur_v and_o complain_v of_o every_o little_a affliction_n that_o be_v upon_o you_o in_o respect_n of_o your_o child_n if_o so_o be_v that_o your_o child_n be_v but_o a_o little_a sick_a or_o there_o be_v any_o miscarriage_n of_o they_o you_o think_v it_o be_v a_o heavy_a hand_n of_o god_n but_o especial_o if_o god_n take_v away_o your_o child_n by_o death_n than_o you_o mourn_v and_o will_v not_o be_v comfort_v yea_o but_o though_o god_n have_v take_v away_o your_o child_n by_o death_n yea_o perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v by_o a_o violent_a death_n as_o be_v drown_v etc._n etc._n yet_o they_o have_v not_o be_v strike_v with_o fire_n from_o heaven_n by_o god_n and_o they_o have_v not_o be_v of_o such_o public_a use_n these_o here_o be_v renown_a man_n and_o take_v away_o in_o their_o very_a sin_n too_o your_o child_n which_o have_v go_v upon_o their_o lawful_a employment_n and_o god_n have_v take_v away_o their_o life_n there_o be_v no_o such_o cause_n of_o murmur_v here_o but_o when_o god_n take_v away_o child_n in_o their_o sin_n and_o in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o by_o fire_n from_o heaven_n thus_o god_n take_v away_o aaron_n child_n and_o he_o be_v as_o dear_a to_o god_n as_o you_o be_v and_o yet_o thus_o god_n deal_v with_o his_o saint_n with_o aaron_n in_o regard_n of_o his_o child_n and_o with_o his_o elder_a child_n and_o with_o two_o of_o they_o together_o this_o example_n may_v be_v enough_o to_o still_o and_o quiet_a the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o be_v afflict_v in_o respect_n of_o any_o calamity_n befall_v their_o child_n you_o see_v what_o a_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v against_o the_o very_a child_n of_o aaron_n a_o further_a note_n be_v this_o obser_n that_o god_n judgement_n we_o see_v sometime_o though_o the_o effect_n of_o they_o be_v visible_a yet_o they_o come_v in_o a_o invisible_a way_n for_o you_o shall_v find_v if_o you_o read_v on_o in_o this_o story_n that_o they_o be_v smite_v with_o fire_n from_o heaven_n but_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v what_o fire_n for_o it_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o consume_v their_o clothes_n nor_o their_o body_n but_o go_v through_o and_o strike_v they_o dead_a and_o no_o body_n can_v tell_v how_o god_n judgement_n do_v come_v in_o a_o way_n that_o be_v invisible_a if_o it_o have_v be_v in_o a_o visible_a flame_n of_o fire_n all_o will_v have_v see_v it_o and_o it_o will_v have_v burn_v their_o clothes_n or_o their_o body_n but_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o 5_o verse_n that_o they_o be_v carry_v away_o from_o the_o sanctuary_n in_o their_o cleath_n they_o be_v not_o burn_v another_o note_n be_v this_o obser_n that_o though_o the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v dear_a and_o precious_a to_o god_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o so_o precious_a as_o his_o glory_n the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n be_v a_o thousand_o thousand_o time_n more_o dear_a unto_o god_n then_o the_o life_n of_o thousand_o thousand_o of_o people_n the_o life_n of_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n must_v go_v that_o god_n may_v be_v sanctify_v if_o it_o come_v so_o in_o the_o way_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v he_o live_v of_o man_n and_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n must_v pass_v on_o and_o mast_n have_v its_o course_n let_v the_o life_n of_o man_n go_v which_o way_n they_o will_n we_o think_v much_o to_o have_v the_o life_n of_o man_n take_v away_o but_o if_o we_o know_v 〈◊〉_d glory_n of_o god_n mean_v and_o what_o infinite_a reason_n there_o be_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v g●●ned_v we_o will_v not_o think_v it_o much_o that_o the_o life_n of_o never_o so_o many_o man_n shall_v go_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n 〈◊〉_d it_o be_v mercy_n that_o our_o life_n have_v not_o go_v many_o time_n for_o god_n glory_n how_o often_o may_v god_n have_v glorify_v himself_o in_o take_v away_o our_o life_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o bless_v he_o that_o our_o life_n have_v be_v preserve_v so_o long_o as_o they_o have_v again_o note_v obser_n that_o the_o near_a any_o man_n be_v to_o god_n the_o more_o they_o have_v need_n take_v heed_n that_o they_o glorify_v he_o for_o they_o must_v expect_v to_o be_v spare_v the_o less_o if_o they_o sin_n against_o he_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n the_o priest_n of_o god_n and_o they_o come_v near_o to_o god_n yet_o by_o their_o transgression_n though_o i_o tell_v you_o we_o do_v not_o find_v in_o any_o place_n of_o scripture_n direct_o in_o word_n that_o this_o fire_n be_v forbid_v but_o they_o shall_v have_v gather_v god_n mind_n by_o consequence_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n i_o only_o note_v that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o urge_v upon_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n strict_a command_n in_o very_a word_n but_o if_o it_o be_v command_v so_o as_o we_o may_v draw_v it_o by_o any_o consequence_n it_o be_v a_o command_n as_o now_o here_o for_o the_o negative_a they_o have_v not_o a_o negative_a prohibition_n in_o word_n yet_o they_o have_v it_o by_o consequence_n so_o for_o the_o affirmative_a though_o we_o have_v not_o the_o affirmative_a in_o express_a word_n yet_o if_o we_o may_v have_v it_o by_o consequence_n it_o be_v a_o affirmative_a as_o well_o as_o the_o negative_a when_o we_o have_v it_o by_o consequence_n but_o now_o the_o note_n of_o observation_n be_v that_o the_o near_a any_o come_v to_o god_n if_o they_o sin_n against_o he_o they_o must_v not_o expect_v to_o be_v spare_v do_v not_o think_v that_o god_n will_v spare_v you_o the_o more_o because_o you_o be_v professor_n of_o religion_n or_o because_o you_o do_v often_o worship_v he_o i_o suppose_v you_o that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o scripture_n know_v that_o place_n in_o amos_n 3._o 2._o you_o only_o have_v i_o know_v of_o all_o the_o family_n of_o the_o earth_n therefore_o i_o will_v punish_v you_o for_o all_o your_o iniquity_n another_o note_n be_v this_o obser_n that_o when_o a_o judgement_n be_v exemplary_a than_o we_o shall_v have_v recourse_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o see_v how_o god_n do_v make_v his_o word_n good_a in_o that_o judgement_n so_o moses_n do_v this_o

you_o be_v not_o in_o trouble_n and_o fear_n than_o it_o put_v not_o on_o the_o heart_n to_o performance_n of_o duty_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n put_v on_o the_o soul_n to_o duty_n when_o

the_o eight_o thing_n be_v this_o when_o you_o come_v to_o perform_v holy_a duty_n if_o you_o will_v sanctify_v god_n name_n you_o must_v consecrate_v yourselves_o to_o god_n there_o must_v be_v a_o

yourselves_o too_o god_n and_o the_o profess_v of_o this_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o duty_n when_o you_o be_v to_o pray_v be_v a_o very_a good_a thing_n actual_o to_o profess_v yourselves_o to_o be_v god_n to_o profess_v that_o you_o do_v give_v up_o all_o that_o you_o be_v have_v or_o can_v do_v to_o god_n lord_n i_o be_o thy_o servant_n take_v all_o faculty_n of_o soul_n and_o member_n of_o body_n and_o improve_v all_o lay_v out_o all_o to_o thy_o own_o praise_n to_o the_o uttermost_a to_o bring_v glory_n to_o thy_o great_a name_n if_o every_o time_n you_o come_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n you_o do_v this_o this_o be_v to_o sanctify_v yourselves_o to_o god_n i_o speak_v before_o of_o a_o sanctify_a heart_n but_o now_o this_o be_v in_o a_o profession_n of_o yourselves_o to_o god_n do_v it_o secret_o at_o least_o in_o your_o own_o thought_n if_o you_o do_v not_o every_o time_n express_v it_o in_o word_n yet_o in_o your_o own_o thought_n do_v it_o devote_v yourselves_o to_o god_n every_o day_n of_o admirable_a use_n it_o will_v be_v if_o every_o day_n when_o man_n and_o woman_n worship_n god_n either_o in_o their_o closert_n or_o family_n they_o do_v profess_o devote_v and_o consecrate_v themselves_o to_o god_n and_o so_o likewise_o every_o time_n they_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n or_o to_o receive_v sacrament_n god_n will_v account_v his_o name_n to_o be_v

thou_o be_v able_a yet_o thou_o must_v not_o think_v to_o tender_v it_o up_o by_o thy_o own_o hand_n unto_o god_n but_o thou_o must_v tender_v it_o up_o to_o the_o father_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o mediator_n and_o so_o thou_o shall_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n we_o read_v in_o levit._n 16._o 13._o that_o when_o aaron_n be_v to_o tender_v up_o
