to_o their_o answer_n whereas_o most_o certain_o truth_n seek_v no_o corner_n as_o here_o you_o see_v how_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v send_v his_o seventie_o disciple_n as_o it_o be_v forerunner_n to_o make_v proclamation_n of_o he_o in_o every_o city_n and_o place_n where_o he_o himself_o shall_v come_v which_o though_o it_o be_v perilous_a for_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o our_o

therefore_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o harvest_n to_o send_v labourer_n into_o his_o harvest_n which_o piece_n of_o scripture_n may_v fit_o be_v divide_v in_o two_o part_n the_o first_o be_v a_o exhortation_n to_o prayer_n that_o we_o pray_v to_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o harvest_n to_o send_v forth_o labourer_n into_o his_o harvest_n the_o second_o contain_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o exhortation_n which_o be_v two_o first_o because_o the_o harvest_n be_v great_a and_o second_o because_o the_o labourer_n be_v but_o few_o but_o i_o think_v it_o best_o at_o this_o time_n not_o to_o invert_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n but_o to_o entreat_v upon_o they_o orderlye_o as_o they_o lie_v in_o the_o text_n first_o of_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o harvest_n second_o of_o the_o small_a number_n of_o the_o labourer_n three_o of_o the_o mean_n whereby_o that_o small_a number_n shall_v be_v increase_v if_o we_o perform_v our_o duty_n to_o pray_v unto_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o harvest_n to_o send_v forth_o labourer_n into_o his_o harvest_n first_o our_o saviour_n christ_n tell_v they_o that_o the_o harvest_n be_v great_a whereby_o he_o signifi_v the_o number_n of_o the_o faithful_a which_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o righteousness_n and_o have_v a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o hear_v to_o receive_v and_o to_o embrace_v the_o heavenly_a treasure_n of_o his_o most_o holy_a and_o bless_a word_n and_o thus_o do_v our_o saviour_n oft_o name_v the_o congregation_n of_o his_o faithful_a people_n by_o the_o name_n of_o harvest_n 4.35_o joh._n 4.35_o when_o he_o see_v the_o samaritan_n come_n to_o he_o out_o of_o sichem_n he_o say_v behold_v lift_v up_o your_o eye_n &_o look_v on_o the_o region_n for_o they_o be_v white_a already_o unto_o the_o harvest_n 9.37_o math._n 9.37_o and_o in_o the_o gospel_n after_o saint_n matthew_n he_o say_v sure_o the_o harvest_n be_v great_a etc._n etc._n where_o he_o do_v use_v the_o self_n same_o word_n which_o he_o do_v in_o this_o place_n although_o to_o another_o purpose_n for_o there_o he_o have_v especial_o respect_v unto_o the_o people_n on_o who_o he_o have_v compassion_n when_o he_o see_v they_o disperse_v and_o scatter_v abroad_o as_o it_o be_v sheep_n have_v no_o shepherd_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v sure_o the_o harvest_n be_v great_a but_o the_o labourer_n be_v but_o few_o pray_v etc._n etc._n but_o here_o he_o have_v respect_n not_o so_o much_o unto_o the_o flock_v as_o unto_o the_o disciple_n themselves_o that_o although_o they_o see_v but_o few_o among_o the_o jew_n which_o favour_v his_o doctrine_n and_o therefore_o may_v hardly_o conceive_v any_o hope_n of_o do_v any_o good_a yet_o they_o shall_v not_o despair_v for_o the_o harvest_n be_v great_a howsoever_o in_o their_o judgement_n the_o number_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v but_o small_a 11.2_o rom._n 11.2_o yet_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v discourage_v for_o the_o harvest_n be_v great_a elias_n be_v in_o a_o cave_n in_o the_o mount_v horeb_n 19.10.18_o 1._o re._n 19.10.18_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n discourage_v when_o he_o see_v all_o the_o prophet_n of_o god_n slay_v &_o his_o altar_n break_v down_o and_o he_o leave_v alone_o who_o life_n they_o seek_v also_o but_o the_o lord_n appear_v unto_o he_o and_o comfort_v he_o say_v 11.4_o rom._n 11.4_o i_o have_v reserve_v unto_o myself_o in_o israel_n 7000._o man_n which_o have_v never_o bow_v their_o knee_n to_o baal_n nor_o kiss_v he_o with_o their_o mouth_n here_o then_o we_o that_o be_v minister_n be_v to_o learn_v not_o to_o be_v dismay_v although_o we_o see_v but_o small_a fruit_n of_o our_o labour_n but_o to_o go_v on_o forward_o diligent_o and_o painful_o in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n know_v that_o the_o harvest_n may_v be_v great_a than_o we_o do_v imagine_v &_o although_o in_o our_o judgement_n there_o be_v few_o or_o none_o which_o return_n unto_o repentance_n yet_o there_o may_v be_v seven_o thousand_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n &_o therefore_o although_o we_o may_v say_v with_o peter_n i_o have_v travail_v all_o night_n 5.5_o luke_n 5.5_o and_o have_v take_v nothing_o yet_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o we_o say_v

&_o at_o the_o last_o with_o much_o labour_n it_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o barn_n even_o so_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n word_n when_o it_o be_v sow_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n it_o be_v long_o

the_o chaff_n with_o the_o grain_n the_o wicked_a with_o the_o good_a the_o goat_n with_o the_o sheep_n &_o therefore_o the_o church_n be_v compare_v to_o a_o family_n or_o household_n which_o
