the_o willingness_n of_o people_n to_o come_v to_o hear_v his_o word_n but_o you_o must_v not_o rest_v bare_o in_o hear_v but_o take_v heed_n how_o you_o hear_v now_o this_o be_v a_o point_n of_o

shall_v be_v bestow_v and_o no_o profit_n but_o hurt_v rather_o get_v by_o it_o which_o god_n forbid_v therefore_o now_o i_o be_o to_o speak_v to_o a_o point_n that_o may_v help_v you_o so_o to_o

there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o encouragement_n than_o to_o such_o as_o come_v in_o a_o formal_a way_n because_o they_o use_v to_o come_v therefore_o this_o point_n be_v a_o great_a point_n i_o shall_v open_v it_o somewhat_o large_o and_o cast_v into_o this_o method_n first_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n for_o otherwise_o i_o can_v not_o ground_v it_o upon_o my_o text_n second_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o how_o we_o be_v to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o word_n either_o in_o regard_n of_o preparation_n unto_o it_o or_o our_o behaviour_n in_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n three_o why_o it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o this_o ordinance_n of_o he_o four_o how_o god_n will_v sanctify_v himself_o in_o such_o as_o do_v not_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o word_n five_o how_o god_n will_v sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o way_n of_o mercy_n to_o those_o that_o be_v careful_a to_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n these_o be_v the_o five_o principal_a thing_n that_o concern_v this_o argument_n for_o the_o first_o that_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n you_o hear_v in_o the_o open_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o the_o general_n what_o it_o be_v i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v a_o tender_v up_o of_o the_o creature_n homage_n to_o god_n as_o testimony_n of_o the_o respect_n that_o the_o creature_n do_v owe_v to_o god_n now_o if_o that_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o worship_n certain_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n for_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n we_o first_o do_v profess_v our_o dependence_n upon_o god_n for_o the_o know_v of_o his_o mind_n and_o the_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n every_o time_n we_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n if_o we_o know_v what_o we_o do_v we_o do_v thus_o much_o we_o do_v profess_v that_o we_o do_v depend_v upon_o the_o lord_n god_n for_o the_o know_v of_o his_o mind_n and_o the_o way_n and_o rule_n to_o eternal_a life_n we_o do_v as_o much_o as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v lord_n of_o ourselves_o we_o neither_o know_v thou_o nor_o the_o way_n and_o mean_n how_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v save_v and_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v testify_v our_o dependence_n upon_o thou_o for_o this_o thing_n we_o here_o present_v ourselves_o before_o thou_o now_o this_o be_v a_o testimony_n of_o the_o high_a respect_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n second_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o worship_n because_o in_o it_o we_o come_v to_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o ordinance_n to_o have_v that_o good_a convey_v to_o

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

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

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 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 not_o their_o body_n but_o go_v through_o all_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 another_o note_n be_v this_o 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 than_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 the_o life_n 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 must_v 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 what_o the_o 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 glorify_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 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 that_o the_o near_a any_o man_n be_v unto_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 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 be_v that_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v do_v you_o see_v any_o remarkable_a hand_n of_o god_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o a_o judgement_n upon_o one_o have_v recourse_n to_o god_n word_n and_o present_o begin_v to_o think_v this_o what_o be_v there_o in_o god_n word_n against_o that_o sin_n that_o this_o man_n have_v be_v guilty_a of_o if_o you_o see_v a_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o a_o drunkard_n remember_v the_o threat_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n against_o drunkenness_n and_o so_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o unclean_a person_n swearer_n sabbath-breaker_n liar_n or_o any_o profane_a and_o ungodly_a person_n have_v recourse_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n threaten_v in_o the_o word_n against_o such_o and_o so_o likewise_o concern_v scorner_n and_o opposer_n of_o religion_n remember_v what_o be_v say_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n against_o such_o and_o so_o learn_v to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n we_o may_v have_v mention_v some_o particular_a threat_n of_o god_n against_o particular_a sinner_n for_o the_o help_a of_o you_o that_o when_o you_o see_v exemplary_a judgement_n to_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o we_o let_v that_o pass_v a_o further_a note_n from_o this_o story_n be_v this_o that_o the_o great_a honour_n that_o god_n intend_v to_o his_o name_n it_o be_v the_o make_n of_o his_o name_n holy_a i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o they_o that_o draw_v nigh_o i_o and_o before_o all_o the_o people_n i_o will_v be_v glorify_v as_o moses_n shall_v say_v in_o god_n name_n i_o must_v and_o will_v have_v glory_n from_o the_o people_n and_o how_o by_o make_v my_o name_n appear_v to_o be_v holy_a this_o be_v the_o glory_n that_o i_o stand_v upon_o above_o all_o other_o thing_n that_o my_o

not_o daunt_v thou_o now_o be_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o the_o very_a face_n of_o his_o saint_n terrible_a to_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n how_o terrible_a be_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o

the_o severe_a judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o because_o they_o come_v so_o nigh_o god_n for_o they_o come_v often_o to_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n now_o they_o that_o will_v come_v so_o
