not_o only_o the_o great_a sin_n of_o the_o land_n that_o be_v cause_n of_o god_n wrath_n but_o the_o coldness_n of_o they_o that_o be_v otherwise_o good_a that_o cause_v the_o lord_n to_o remove_v the_o candlestick_n the_o very_a coldness_n of_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n in_o fall_v from_o her_o first_o love_n the_o lukewarmenesse_a of_o the_o laodicean_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o endure_v in_o they_o let_v every_o man_n consider_v this_o be_v his_o zeal_n now_o as_o much_o as_o it_o have_v be_v if_o not_o let_v we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v reckon_v coldness_n and_o lukewarmenesse_a the_o fall_v from_o our_o first_o love_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o bring_v god_n judgement_n on_o a_o nation_n but_o what_o be_v this_o zeal_n zeal_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o intention_n of_o all_o holy_a affection_n and_o action_n i_o will_v go_v no_o further_o than_o this_o text_n to_o show_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o phineas_n be_v zealous_a affection_n that_o be_v he_o not_o only_o do_v the_o thing_n but_o his_o heart_n burn_v within_o he_o with_o zeal_n for_o god._n so_o as_o first_o there_o must_v be_v a_o stir_v up_o of_o affection_n lord_n second_o it_o must_v be_v holy_a it_o must_v be_v for_o the_o lord_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o discover_v true_a zeal_n to_o look_v only_o to_o the_o lord_n to_o have_v no_o by-respect_n as_o there_o may_v be_v zeal_n that_o make_v

only_o of_o affection_n but_o also_o of_o action_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v while_o he_o be_v zealous_a for_o my_o sake_n among_o they_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v this_o zeal_n of_o phineas_n be_v not_o keep_v smother_v in_o his_o own_o breast_n but_o it_o brak●_n forth_o into_o action_n he_o do_v something_o for_o the_o lord_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v action_n that_o glorify_v god_n and_o that_o benefit_n man_n only_a action_n stand_v on_o our_o reckon_n for_o you_o know_v god_n judge_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n it_o be_v action_n that_o do_v ourselves_o good_a that_o make_v we_o useful_a and_o serviceable_a to_o man_n and_o the_o church_n that_o make_v we_o instrument_n of_o god_n glory_n therefore_o add_v action_n to_o affection_n and_o know_v that_o zeal_n stand_v in_o both_o for_o it_o be_v the_o intention_n of_o holy_a action_n and_o affection_n i_o will_v add_v no_o more_o in_o the_o explication_n but_o will_v brief_o apply_v it_o 1_o and_o first_o if_o it_o be_v zeal_n that_o turn_v away_o the_o lord_n wrath_n zealous_a then_o why_o shall_v we_o discourage_v zeal_n by_o it_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v the_o city_n stand_v why_o do_v wicked_a man_n cry_v down_o all_o religion_n and_o zeal_n under_o the_o name_n of_o preciseness_n discouragement_n and_o overmuch_o strictness_n of_o life_n walk_v bold_o in_o the_o street_n and_o

so_o when_o we_o preach_v the_o gospel_n there_o be_v everlasting_a door_n can_v we_o open_v the_o iron-gate_n no_o more_o than_o any_o man_n can_v open_v iron-doore_n therefore_o lidia_n heart_n be_v

hence_o you_o will_v say_v fear_n of_o what_o use_n be_v this_o to_o we_o that_o god_n do_v it_o it_o be_v of_o much_o use_n therefore_o when_o you_o come_v to_o this_o place_n every_o sabbath_n day_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n when_o you_o see_v you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o mighty_a god_n we_o be_v the_o pen_n it_o be_v god_n that_o do_v it_o learn_v to_o come_v with_o reverence_n and_o

and_o no_o other_o than_o the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o house_n of_o god_n it_o may_v be_v you_o think_v of_o it_o before_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v sermon_n as_o lecture_n and_o

over_o we_o you_o shall_v overlook_v we_o it_o be_v the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n that_o be_v you_o shall_v never_o come_v to_o heaven_n ordinary_o if_o you_o go_v not_o through_o this_o gate_n it_o be_v the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o indeed_o when_o you_o come_v hither_o your_o eye_n must_v be_v upon_o he_o more_o than_o upon_o we_o expect_v and_o wait_v what_o god_n will_v do_v on_o you_o heart_n in_o such_o a_o time_n if_o you_o come_v and_o hear_v and_o god_n have_v do_v nothing_o observe_v that_o and_o say_v it_o be_v because_o god_n have_v withheld_a his_o hand_n therefore_o my_o heart_n be_v not_o quicken_v at_o this_o sermon_n if_o any_o thing_n have_v be_v do_v know_v it_o be_v a_o sparkle_v kindle_v from_o heaven_n therefore_o cherish_v it_o look_v well_o to_o it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o spark_n kindle_v from_o heaven_n therefore_o do_v as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o law_n see_v what_o david_n do_v on_o the_o altar_n which_o he_o build_v on_o mount_n moriah_n when_o the_o altar_n be_v build_v they_o lay_v the_o wood_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o look_v to_o god_n when_o he_o will_v send_v fire_n from_o heaven_n so_o we_o be_v the_o wood_n look_v to_o god_n for_o fire_n if_o you_o can_v get_v a_o spark_n be_v sure_a to_o maintain_v it_o for_o that_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o priest_n when_o they_o have_v a_o little_a fire_n from_o heaven_n they_o always_o give_v fuel_n they_o never_o let_v it_o go_v out_o again_o look_v to_o it_o diligent_o if_o you_o have_v get_v a_o spark_n from_o heaven_n let_v it_o not_o go_v out_o again_o as_o it_o be_v the_o case_n of_o many_o

be_v very_o like_o true_a fire_n but_o it_o be_v not_o from_o heaven_n therefore_o come_v with_o much_o fear_n to_o this_o place_n like_o man_n that_o have_v your_o eye_n on_o god_n seek_v he_o not_o for_o fashion_n and_o know_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n if_o god_n send_v not_o his_o spirit_n from_o heaven_n again_o you_o will_v say_v what_o use_n be_v there_o of_o this_o that_o it_o be_v

same_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v poor_a in_o their_o spiritual_a estate_n for_o to_o what_o end_n serve_v riches_n riches_n serve_v but_o for_o this_o purpose_n to_o procure_v thing_n

that_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n for_o riches_n do_v but_o set_v man_n a_o work_n to_o do_v we_o service_n riches_n can_v do_v no_o more_o than_o man_n can_v do_v but_o these_o spiritual_a riches_n set_v god_n a_o work_n to_o do_v we_o good_a they_o be_v beyond_o the_o other_o as_o much_o as_o the_o help_n of_o god_n go_v beyond_o the_o help_n of_o man_n when_o you_o need_v

between_o the_o death_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n and_o another_o when_o a_o wicked_a man_n come_v to_o the_o time_n of_o need_n he_o have_v nothing_o to_o sustain_v he_o he_o have_v no_o oil_n leave_v
