A10931	Certaine sermons preached and penned by Richard Rogers preacher of Weathersfield in Essex, directly tending to these three ends. First, to bring any bad person (that hath not committed the sinne that is vnpardonable) to true conuersion. Secondly, to stablish and settle all such as are conuerted, in faith and repentance. Thirdly, to leade them forward (that are so setled) in the Christian life, to bring foorth the fruite of both. Whereunto are annexed diuers godlie and learned sermons of another reuerend and faithfull seruant of God, Mr. Samuel Wright, Bachelor of Diuinitie, late president of Sidney Colledge in Camebridge, deceased, tending also to the same ends, with diuers particular points in both, profitable and fit for these times.	Rogers, Richard, 1550?-1618.; Wright, Samuel, d. ca. 1612. aut	1612 (1612)	STC 21203; ESTC S116121	188,868	230

do_v think_v to_o be_v odious_a to_o god_n and_o contemptible_a in_o his_o sight_n be_v for_o all_o that_o in_o high_a account_n with_o he_o and_o dear_a unto_o he_o and_o these_o be_v all_o such_o

with_o these_o these_o thing_n i_o purpose_v chief_o to_o teach_v and_o with_o all_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v appertain_v hereunto_o as_o the_o text_n shall_v give_v occasion_n but_o yet_o you_o must_v understand_v that_o they_o be_v the_o matter_n which_o the_o prophet_n also_o propound_v to_o teach_v out_o of_o these_o word_n which_o i_o have_v read_v for_o otherwise_o my_o teach_n of_o this_o without_o ground_n and_o warrant_v from_o he_o shall_v be_v to_o small_a purpose_n and_o that_o i_o may_v show_v this_o to_o be_v his_o full_a meaning_n i_o will_v first_o open_v and_o unfold_v the_o word_n which_o be_v there_o set_v down_o which_o be_v borrow_v speech_n and_o not_o signify_v that_o which_o the_o letter_n and_o word_n do_v import_v do_v make_v the_o matter_n seem_v more_o difficult_a and_o hard_a to_o be_v understand_v unless_o they_o shall_v be_v open_v and_o make_v plain_a we_o be_v therefore_o to_o know_v that_o by_o thirst_v when_o he_o say_v text_n if_o any_o thirst_n he_o mean_v fervent_a and_o earnest_a desire_v by_o bread_n milk_n wine_n and_o water_n 1._o he_o mean_v the_o variety_n and_o diverse_a kind_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n fit_a to_o quench_v the_o thirst_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o needful_a to_o preserve_v the_o spiritual_a life_n by_o come_v and_o buy_v without_o money_n he_o mean_v a_o receive_v free_o and_o for_o nothing_o by_o faith_n such_o a_o liberal_a offer_n thus_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n in_o which_o any_o difficulty_n lie_v be_v clear_a it_o may_v easy_o be_v gather_v what_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o whole_a verse_n be_v and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o whosoever_o feel_v such_o need_n of_o the_o food_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o of_o the_o grace_n of_o faith_n hope_n pardon_v of_o sin_n love_n patience_n or_o the_o like_a if_o he_o feel_v such_o need_n of_o they_o i_o say_v that_o he_o can_v be_v satisfy_v without_o they_o he_o may_v how_o unworthy_a soever_o he_o think_v himself_o thereof_o free_o confident_o and_o with_o god_n good_a like_n enjoy_v and_o take_v his_o part_n in_o they_o even_o as_o he_o that_o buy_v house_n or_o land_n with_o his_o money_n may_v possess_v the_o same_o safe_o as_o his_o own_o and_o this_o be_v say_v of_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o first_o verse_n in_o the_o second_o he_o reprove_v those_o among_o the_o people_n 2._o who_o refuse_v the_o best_a thing_n offer_v they_o by_o god_n and_o that_o free_o and_o willing_o yet_o spare_v neither_o cost_n nor_o labour_n for_o those_o which_o be_v nothing_o profitable_a and_o exhort_v they_o to_o turn_v from_o that_o error_n and_o delusion_n and_o to_o take_v that_o counsel_n from_o he_o which_o will_v be_v sound_o for_o their_o benefit_n and_o comfort_n two_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o meaning_n the_o part_n may_v fit_o be_v these_o two_o first_o the_o large_a offer_n which_o god_n make_v by_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o first_o verse_n second_o a_o reproof_n and_o a_o exortation_n in_o the_o second_o consider_v the_o way_n and_o preparation_n be_v thus_o make_v let_v we_o come_v more_o particular_o to_o the_o matter_n itself_o and_o consider_v first_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o first_o verse_n namely_o in_o the_o free_a offer_n which_o god_n make_v by_o the_o prophet_n which_o thing_n be_v three_o first_o to_o who_o he_o make_v it_o that_o be_v to_o they_o that_o thirst_n and_o to_o no_o other_o for_o so_o be_v the_o word_n ho_o every_o one_o that_o thirst_v come_v second_o what_o he_o offer_v to_o they_o even_o whatsoever_o good_a thing_n will_v quench_v their_o spiritual_a thirst_n as_o wine_n milk_n and_o water_n do_v the_o bodily_a thirst_n say_v come_v buy_v wine_n milk_n and_o water_n without_o money_n three_o upon_o what_o condition_n he_o offer_v this_o namely_o this_o that_o they_o believe_v he_o upon_o his_o word_n and_o in_o token_n thereof_o come_v take_v and_o enjoy_v it_o as_o their_o own_o and_o this_o be_v the_o hard_a that_o the_o lord_n require_v of_o they_o by_o the_o prophet_n thirsty_a to_o speak_v of_o these_o three_o point_n as_o they_o lie_v in_o order_n and_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v a_o high_a degree_n of_o profit_v in_o the_o school_n of_o christ_n and_o a_o token_n of_o god_n love_n to_o thirst_v and_o earnest_o to_o long_o after_o heavenly_a thing_n as_o grace_v and_o eternal_a life_n for_o they_o who_o do_v so_o must_v needs_o have_v knowledge_n to_o discern_v the_o price_n and_o excellency_n of_o they_o and_o also_o feel_v their_o own_o need_n and_o necessity_n of_o they_o that_o they_o do_v but_o pine_v and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v starve_v for_o want_v of_o they_o and_o for_o all_o this_o who_o be_v more_o contemptible_a either_o in_o theit_n own_o eye_n or_o the_o eye_n of_o other_o than_o such_o be_v and_o yet_o these_o be_v call_v forth_o by_o the_o prophet_n as_o we_o see_v from_o among_o all_o other_o while_o they_o with_o the_o publican_n think_v themselves_o to_o be_v a_o far_o off_o and_o look_v for_o no_o such_o thing_n to_o enjoy_v and_o be_v partaker_n of_o that_o which_o be_v the_o best_a of_o all_o other_o 18.13_o and_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n speak_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o other_o scripture_n 7.37_o as_o in_o the_o gospel_n by_o s._n john_n if_o any_o man_n thirst_n let_v he_o come_v to_o i_o and_o
