action_n our_o thankfulness_n otherwise_o than_o we_o do_v now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o next_o argument_n which_o move_v the_o apostle_n to_o be_v thankful_a he_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n count_v he_o faithful_a and_o set_v he_o in_o his_o service_n he_o mean_v not_o here_o that_o the_o lord_n foresee_v that_o there_o will_v be_v some_o worthiness_n goodness_n and_o faithfulness_n into_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o employ_v he_o as_o vain_a and_o ignorant_a man_n do_v affirm_v for_o be_v not_o all_o corrupt_a be_v not_o all_o child_n of_o wrath_n and_o subject_a to_o satan_n what_o goodness_n then_o can_v god_n see_v in_o any_o of_o we_o except_o he_o put_v it_o into_o we_o and_o what_o can_v move_v he_o to_o make_v a_o choice_n of_o one_o more_o than_o another_o but_o only_o his_o good_a pleasure_n and_o free-liking_a but_o this_o he_o say_v to_o meet_v and_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o wicked_a and_o malicious_a man_n who_o go_v about_o to_o disgrace_v his_o person_n and_o office_n and_o to_o make_v his_o preach_v fruitless_a the_o world_n be_v now_o full_a of_o such_o person_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v let_v man_n reproach_v i_o disdain_v i_o set_v themselves_o against_o i_o yet_o this_o be_v sufficient_a for_o i_o that_o jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v all_o authority_n and_o who_o be_v supreme_a judge_n who_o only_o can_v absolve_v and_o condemn_v and_o from_o who_o sentence_n none_o can_v appeal_v be_v on_o my_o side_n and_o have_v declare_v by_o put_v i_o into_o his_o service_n and_o by_o call_v i_o immediate_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n that_o he_o will_v use_v my_o ministry_n and_o declare_v that_o where_o i_o be_v unfaithful_a before_o he_o account_v i_o faithful_a he_o account_v more_o of_o i_o than_o i_o be_v worthy_a of_o so_o by_o this_o the_o apostle_n import_v a_o double_a grace_n which_o he_o get_v from_o christ_n first_o that_o whereas_o he_o be_v ynfaithfull_a the_o lord_n give_v he_o say_v and_o so_o account_v he_o faithful_a next_o that_o he_o have_v manifest_v by_o call_v he_o to_o be_v a_o apostle_n that_o he_o have_v a_o like_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v in_o his_o service_n then_o here_o you_o see_v that_o as_o before_o he_o thank_v god_n for_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n that_o he_o find_v so_o here_o he_o thank_v god_n for_o that_o exceed_a mercy_n utter_v in_o forgive_a he_o his_o sin_n and_o in_o call_v he_o to_o be_v a_o apostle_n hence_o we_o perceive_v brethren_n that_o no_o man_n will_v ever_o account_v of_o jesus_n christ_n except_o he_o first_o find_v that_o christ_n have_v account_v of_o he_o yea_o except_o he_o find_v that_o christ_n have_v account_v of_o he_o that_o which_o he_o be_v not_o whereas_o he_o be_v unfaithful_a he_o must_v find_v that_o jesus_n count_v he_o faithful_a whereas_o he_o be_v unjust_a he_o must_v find_v that_o christ_n count_v he_o just_a you_o see_v by_o common_a experience_n that_o when_o one_o man_n love_v another_o exceed_o he_o will_v account_v more_o of_o he_o than_o he_o be_v to_o be_v count_v of_o indeed_o for_o love_v over-seeth_a and_o hide_v many_o infirmity_n and_o offence_n be_v there_o ever_o such_o a_o love_n as_o christ_n jesus_n carry_v unto_o we_o unworthy_a wretch_n for_o when_o we_o be_v vile_a &_o wretched_a sinner_n ever_o offend_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n and_o procure_v his_o wrath_n the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o the_o multitude_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o infinite_a deepness_n of_o his_o love_n cover_v our_o sin_n and_o hide_v our_o iniquity_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o bees●ene_v by_o god_n so_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v once_o extend_v the_o mantle_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o compassion_n upon_o his_o choose_a child_n then_o albeit_o they_o be_v replenish_v with_o never_o so_o many_o vile_a and_o gross_a sin_n yet_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o lay_v they_o to_o their_o charge_n but_o in_o jesus_n he_o will_v count_v they_o just_a righteous_a and_o innocent_a so_o he_o will_v account_v more_o of_o they_o than_o they_o be_v worthy_a of_o for_o except_o that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o be_v persuade_v of_o this_o that_o we_o be_v great_a man_n in_o the_o account_n of_o jesus_n christ_n than_o we_o be_v in_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v perish_v in_o our_o sin_n for_o ever_o the_o pope_n and_o that_o crew_n of_o his_o shamelesse-ones_a scorn_v this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n they_o will_v have_v man_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o their_o inherent_a righteousness_n in_o god_n presence_n but_o i_o denounce_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o great_a god_n that_o if_o they_o go_v on_o so_o if_o they_o lean_a to_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o if_o they_o find_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n to_o be_v impute_v unto_o they_o they_o shall_v never_o taste_v of_o mercy_n but_o how_o know_v the_o apostle_n that_o the_o lord_n account_v so_o much_o of_o he_o the_o last_o word_n of_o the_o verse_n declare_v he_o put_v i_o into_o his_o service_n therefore_o i_o know_v that_o he_o have_v account_v more_o of_o i_o than_o i_o be_o will_v thou_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v account_v more_o of_o thou_o than_o thou_o be_v have_v the_o lord_n jesus_n put_v thou_o into_o his_o service_n than_o he_o account_v of_o thou_o indeed_o i_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v many_o who_o be_v call_v to_o office_n both_o in_o church_n and_o policy_n who_o can_v nor_o may_v not_o say_v that_o therefore_o the_o lord_n have_v count_v they_o faithful_a for_o there_o be_v many_o who_o be_v not_o send_v of_o god_n but_o who_o run_v unsent_a and_o be_v thrust_v out_o by_o their_o own_o corrupt_a affection_n as_o by_o ambition_n by_o vain_a glory_n by_o desire_n of_o preferment_n by_o covetousness_n often_o time_n you_o see_v that_o many_o who_o have_v the_o place_n and_o name_n of_o pastor_n set_v themselves_o to_o trouble_v the_o estate_n of_o the_o church_n and_o to_o give_v offence_n unto_o the_o weak_a one_o to_o speak_v nothing_o of_o their_o negligence_n in_o that_o call_n and_o such_o like_a in_o the_o seat_n of_o justice_n you_o will_v see_v man_n without_o regard_n of_o god_n conscience_n nature_n and_o common_a honesty_n to_o give_v out_o wicked_a judgement_n and_o maintain_v manifest_a heinous_a crime_n and_o to_o stand_v direct_o in_o contrary_a term_n with_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n contramanding_a where_o he_o have_v command_v therefore_o such_o person_n can_v allege_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v count_v they_o faithful_a and_o man_n can_v say_v that_o they_o be_v set_v into_o these_o office_n by_o god_n hand_n but_o as_o it_o be_v by_o satan_n therefore_o to_o the_o end_n that_o thou_o may_v know_v whether_o y_fw-mi e_z lord_n count_v thou_o faithful_a or_o not_o look_v and_o see_v that_o thou_o have_v these_o sign_n &_o testimony_n which_o may_v bear_v witness_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v call_v thou_o it_o be_v true_a man_n now_o adays_o can_v have_v such_o a_o persuasion_n as_o paul_n have_v for_o he_o be_v call_v immediate_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o jesus_n christ_n from_o heaven_n &_o therefore_o he_o may_v speak_v confident_o but_o it_o be_v as_o true_a there_o be_v none_o who_o the_o lord_n call_v but_o they_o have_v some_o sign_n thereof_o look_v therefore_o if_o thou_o have_v a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o glorify_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n to_o propagate_v the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n to_o draw_v man_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_v from_o misery_n to_o felicity_n from_o death_n to_o life_n from_o hell_n to_o heaven_n look_v if_o thou_o have_v grace_n in_o some_o measure_n for_o such_o a_o calling_n look_v if_o the_o lord_n deny_v thy_o ministry_n with_o evidencie_n &_o demonstration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o by_o thy_o preach_n have_v acquire_v subject_n to_o his_o kingdom_n look_v if_o thou_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n chearfullie_o if_o thou_o have_v these_o token_n thou_o may_v be_v assure_v in_o thy_o conscience_n and_o other_o man_n also_o may_v be_v persuade_v that_o thou_o run_v not_o unsent_a but_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o these_o token_n then_o boast_v not_o of_o this_o that_o thou_o be_v in_o a_o call_n and_o to_o speak_v more_o general_o to_o all_o they_o who_o be_v call_v christian_n will_v thou_o know_v in_o what_o estate_n and_o call_v soever_o thou_o be_v into_o whether_o private_a or_o public_a whether_o the_o lord_n account_v more_o of_o thou_o than_o thou_o be_v worthy_a whether_o he_o account_v thou_o faithful_a or_o not_o look_v to_o the_o

upon_o thy_o body_n otherwise_o soul_n and_o body_n both_o shall_v perish_v the_o house_n shall_v fall_v down_o and_o the_o man_n that_o lodge_v in_o the_o house_n shall_v be_v destroy_v remember_v then_o life_n and_o death_n be_v not_o matter_n to_o be_v scorn_v withal_o they_o be_v not_o word_n nay_o nay_o think_v gravelie_o of_o they_o and_o before_o thy_o soul_n be_v dislodge_v look_v that_o
