peter_n preach_v do_v not_o the_o jailor_n believe_v 105._o by_o hear_v of_o paul_n though_o all_o do_v not_o believe_v who_o do_v hear_v because_o some_o hear_v amiss_o yet_o be_v hear_v god_n ordinance_n to_o beget_v faith_n those_o than_o that_o desire_n faith_n must_v hear_v and_o receive_v the_o word_n those_o that_o may_v hear_v and_o will_v not_o can_v believe_v woeful_a be_v their_o case_n who_o hear_v not_o at_o all_o for_o whence_o can_v they_o have_v faith_n if_o they_o hear_v not_o fearful_a be_v their_o case_n who_o hear_v seldom_o they_o have_v no_o faith_n or_o a_o weak_a faith_n but_o happy_a be_v they_o who_o hear_v often_o and_o well_o they_o believe_v and_o shall_v be_v save_v 2._o another_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o devil_n namely_o what_o a_o enemy_n he_o be_v unto_o faith_n for_o he_o take_v away_o the_o word_n as_o it_o be_v enter_v into_o man_n heart_n lest_o they_o shall_v believe_v this_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o he_o be_v so_o busy_a in_o hinder_v the_o word_n because_o he_o will_v keep_v man_n from_o faith_n and_o no_o marvel_n though_o he_o be_v a_o deadly_a enemy_n unto_o faith_n he_o know_v that_o the_o word_n will_v not_o 2._o profit_v the_o hearer_n unless_o it_o be_v mix_v with_o faith_n he_o know_v that_o by_o faith_n we_o 10._o be_v justify_v in_o christ_n that_o by_o faith_n we_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o everlasting_a life_n very_o loathe_v he_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v these_o blessing_n and_o therefore_o will_v do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o hinder_v we_o of_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o hand_n whereby_o we_o receive_v they_o he_o know_v that_o without_o 23._o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n and_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n unwilling_a he_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v better_o please_v god_n then_o himself_o do_v but_o glad_o will_v he_o make_v all_o our_o action_n sinful_a like_o he_o he_o know_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o 4_o shield_n whereby_o we_o quench_v all_o his_o fiery_a dart_n &_o that_o it_o be_v the_o victory_n whereby_o we_o overcome_v the_o world_n one_o of_o his_o champion_n and_o therefore_o will_v seek_v to_o keep_v this_o weapon_n out_o of_o our_o hand_n lest_o himself_o &_o his_o champion_n be_v foil_v therewith_o we_o may_v now_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n 2._o all_o man_n have_v not_o faith_n and_o no_o marvel_n see_v the_o devil_n be_v a_o spiteful_a foe_n against_o it_o and_o will_v hinder_v as_o many_o from_o faith_n as_o possible_o he_o can_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n as_o christ_n foretold_v the_o son_n of_o 8_o man_n shall_v scarce_o find_v faith_n on_o the_o earth_n let_v it_o not_o seem_v strange_a for_o as_o at_o all_o other_o time_n so_o then_o especial_o will_v he_o keep_v man_n back_o from_o faith_n his_o wrath_n shall_v then_o be_v great_a because_o he_o shall_v 12._o know_v his_o time_n be_v short_a do_v not_o therefore_o imagine_v that_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o get_v faith_n and_o that_o thou_o can_v believe_v when_o thou_o list_v thou_o can_v not_o have_v faith_n but_o in_o despite_n of_o the_o devil_n so_o long_o as_o he_o can_v hinder_v thou_o by_o any_o mean_n thou_o shall_v not_o believe_v the_o lord_n must_v enable_v thou_o to_o frustrate_v his_o attempt_n and_o must_v bestow_v this_o gift_n on_o thou_o against_o his_o will_n otherwise_o thou_o can_v never_o receive_v it_o but_o the_o more_o he_o labour_v to_o keep_v we_o from_o faith_n the_o more_o earnest_o shall_v we_o labour_v to_o obtain_v it_o the_o more_o he_o hate_v it_o the_o better_a shall_v we_o love_v it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o most_o excellent_a grace_n he_o will_v not_o hinder_v we_o of_o it_o 2._o the_o other_o end_n why_o he_o take_v away_o the_o word_n be_v this_o lest_o they_o shall_v be_v save_v where_o also_o two_o other_o like_a thing_n may_v be_v consider_v one_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o word_n and_o faith_n another_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o devil_n 1._o in_o respect_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o word_n that_o they_o will_v bring_v man_n to_o salvation_n for_o whereas_o christ_n say_v the_o devil_n take_v the_o word_n out_o of_o man_n heart_n lest_o they_o shall_v believe_v &_o be_v save_v he_o thereby_o insinuate_v that_o if_o the_o word_n enter_v into_o the_o heart_n do_v there_o abide_v &_o work_v faith_n in_o it_o the_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o so_o he_o shall_v indeed_o for_o the_o gospel_n as_o paul_n say_v be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n 31._o to_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v to_o the_o jew_n first_o and_o also_o to_o the_o grecian_a and_o it_o please_v god_n by_o the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v to_o save_v they_o that_o believe_v and_o therefore_o the_o evangelist_n say_v these_o thing_n be_v write_v that_o you_o may_v believe_v and_o in_o believe_v have_v life_n through_o his_o name_n the_o word_n bring_v we_o to_o faith_n and_o faith_n to_o life_n everlasting_a if_o we_o get_v the_o one_o we_o can_v fail_v of_o the_o other_o oh_o what_o a_o heavenly_a comfort_n be_v this_o to_o a_o believe_a soul_n can_v the_o devil_n by_o all_o his_o practice_n and_o policy_n hinder_v the_o word_n from_o work_a faith_n in_o thy_o heart_n fear_v he_o not_o he_o can_v possible_o hinder_v thou_o of_o eternal_a salvation_n in_o heaven_n look_v what_o assurance_n thou_o have_v of_o thy_o present_a faith_n the_o same_o assurance_n may_v thou_o have_v of_o the_o future_a salvation_n of_o thy_o soul_n if_o thou_o now_o believe_v thou_o shall_v receive_v the_o end_n of_o thy_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o salvation_n of_o thy_o soul_n but_o 9_o if_o satan_n so_o take_v the_o word_n from_o thou_o that_o thou_o do_v not_o believe_v never_o look_v for_o salvation_n in_o heaven_n only_o he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v 2._o in_o respect_n of_o the_o devil_n he_o be_v a_o utter_a enemy_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n soul_n he_o take_v away_o the_o word_n and_o hinder_v they_o from_o faith_n that_o so_o he_o may_v prevent_v their_o salvation_n this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o both_o the_o former_a the_o devil_n be_v envious_a unwilling_a he_o be_v that_o any_o of_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v that_o glory_n in_o heaven_n which_o he_o have_v lose_v as_o he_o drive_v adam_n and_o eve_n out_o of_o the_o earthly_a paradise_n so_o do_v he_o what_o lie_v in_o he_o to_o keep_v we_o from_o the_o heavenly_a paradise_n he_o go_v about_o like_o a_o roar_a lion_n seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v as_o the_o ammonite_n moabite_n amalekite_n and_o many_o other_o heathen_a people_n will_v have_v hinder_v the_o israelite_n from_o enter_v into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n so_o the_o devil_n &_o all_o his_o angel_n seek_v to_o hinder_v we_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o as_o the_o israelite_n subdue_v they_o before_o they_o can_v get_v possession_n so_o must_v we_o through_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o christ_n subdue_v the_o devil_n before_o we_o can_v enjoy_v that_o most_o happy_a and_o glorious_a kingdom_n last_o to_o conclude_v all_o the_o point_n touch_v these_o hearer_n see_v what_o excellent_a thing_n they_o lose_v who_o suffer_v the_o devil_n to_o take_v the_o word_n out_o of_o their_o heart_n they_o lose_v say_v which_o be_v much_o more_o precious_a than_o gold_n as_o saint_n peter_n say_v and_o hereafter_o they_o shall_v lose_v the_o salvation_n of_o their_o soul_n 7._o which_o be_v more_o worth_a than_o all_o the_o world_n for_o as_o christ_n say_v what_o advantage_v it_o a_o man_n to_o win_v the_o 26._o whole_a world_n and_o lose_v his_o own_o soul_n you_o may_v think_v it_o little_a danger_n to_o suffer_v the_o devil_n to_o take_v the_o word_n out_o of_o your_o heart_n and_o it_o may_v be_v some_o have_v rather_o have_v it_o take_v from_o they_o than_o the_o least_o part_n of_o their_o worldly_a riches_n but_o know_v that_o it_o be_v a_o precious_a jewel_n if_o you_o keep_v it_o you_o retain_v all_o grace_n and_o happiness_n with_o it_o if_o you_o leave_v it_o you_o lose_v all_o goodness_n with_o it_o oh_o then_o when_o you_o have_v hear_v it_o make_v much_o of_o it_o and_o keep_v it_o safe_o and_o be_v content_a rather_o to_o lose_v any_o thing_n yea_o all_o thing_n that_o you_o have_v then_o lose_v it_o if_o you_o do_v true_o know_v and_o will_v due_o consider_v the_o danger_n of_o this_o loss_n you_o will_v be_v more_o careful_a to_o keep_v the_o word_n and_o more_o afraid_a of_o lose_v it_o you_o who_o have_v deed_n of_o your_o land_n and_o lease_n of_o your_o house_n be_v very_o careful_a to_o keep_v they_o safe_o you_o will_v keep_v they_o under_o lock_n and_o key_n and_o that_o
unto_o curse_v who_o end_n be_v to_o be_v burn_v be_v you_o as_o soil_n sow_v with_o the_o lord_n seed_n and_o dress_v by_o his_o husbandman_n and_o yet_o yield_v no_o fruit_n for_o his_o glory_n and_o for_o the_o comfort_n of_o those_o that_o take_v pain_n among_o you_o and_o will_v you_o expect_v a_o blessing_n from_o the_o lord_n those_o that_o be_v such_o may_v rather_o fear_v a_o curse_n do_v not_o christ_n curse_v the_o fig_n tree_n which_o bare_a leaf_n but_o no_o fruit_n if_o they_o still_o continue_v barren_a their_o case_n shall_v be_v worse_o than_o they_o of_o sodom_n 15._o and_o gomorrah_n for_o if_o the_o sermon_n which_o have_v be_v preach_v among_o we_o have_v be_v preach_v in_o sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n they_o have_v repent_v long_o ago_o in_o sack_n cloth_n and_o

it_o be_v a_o special_a favour_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o have_v the_o gospel_n among_o us._n god_n have_v not_o deal_v so_o with_o every_o nation_n happy_a be_v our_o eye_n to_o see_v 147._o

these_o hearer_n in_o particular_a we_o be_v to_o observe_v one_o thing_n in_o general_a and_o from_o the_o coherence_n to_o wit_n that_o although_o christ_n have_v diverse_a sort_n of_o hearer_n and_o nany_n of_o they_o be_v bad_a some_o one_o way_n some_o another_o way_n yet_o all_o of_o they_o be_v not_o bad_a some_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a hearer_n all_o his_o seed_n be_v not_o
