a_o reason_n of_o what_o go_v before_o viz._n why_o the_o world_n shall_v persecute_v the_o apostle_n because_o they_o be_v the_o salt_n of_o the_o earth_n their_o work_n be_v to_o reprove_v sinner_n

be_v observe_v that_o the_o property_n of_o salt_n apply_v to_o raw_a flesh_n or_o fresh_a wound_n be_v principal_o three_o first_o salt_n will_v bite_v and_o fret_v be_v of_o nature_n hot_a and_o

apply_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o their_o auditor_n first_o preach_v the_o law_n thereby_o make_v they_o sensible_a of_o their_o sin_n give_v they_o no_o ease_n in_o they_o but_o make_v they_o cry_v out_o as_o they_o act_v 2.37_o man_n and_o brethren_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v second_o minister_n must_v preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o they_o that_o man_n be_v sensible_a of_o their_o

three_o both_o law_n and_o gospel_n must_v be_v dispense_v by_o minister_n that_o thereby_o sin_n and_o corruption_n may_v be_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o mortify_v and_o consume_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o life_n of_o their_o hearer_n even_o as_o superfluous_a humour_n be_v dry_v up_o by_o salt_n and_o minister_n must_v endeavour_v to_o be_v season_v themselves_o with_o the_o word_n that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o more_o able_a and_o fit_a to_o season_v other_o four_o hence_o the_o people_n may_v learn_v to_o suffer_v the_o word_n of_o reproof_n when_o we_o have_v a_o cut_n or_o wound_v in_o our_o flesh_n we_o put_v salt_n upon_o it_o to_o hinder_v it_o from_o rankle_a and_o corruption_n and_o shall_v we_o not_o patient_o and_o quiet_o suffer_v the_o word_n of_o reproof_n from_o our_o
