exclude_v thence_o 2._o arg._n a_o second_o proof_n or_o argument_n to_o show_v that_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v a_o necessary_a condition_n require_v of_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v bless_v be_v because_o god_n have_v assign_v hell_n as_o the_o proper_a habitation_n of_o all_o ungodly_a person_n it_o be_v say_v of_o judas_n that_o when_o in_o despair_n of_o mercy_n he_o have_v hang_v himself_o he_o go_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d to_o his_o proper_a place_n or_o as_o our_o translation_n have_v well_o render_v the_o word_n to_o his_o own_o place_n where_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o mean_v hell_n whither_o judas_n go_v for_o his_o transgression_n and_o he_o call_v hell_n his_o own_o or_o his_o proper_a place_n 1._o because_o he_o have_v deserve_v and_o purchase_v it_o by_o his_o sin_n for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v for_o 18._o he_o purchase_v a_o field_n with_o the_o reward_n of_o iniquity_n so_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o purchase_v hell_n with_o the_o practice_n of_o his_o iniquity_n 2._o it_o be_v call_v his_o own_o place_n because_o god_n have_v assign_v and_o appoint_v that_o place_n to_o judas_n and_o all_o such_o as_o judas_n be_v who_o sell_v christ_n either_o for_o profit_n or_o pleasure_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v that_o the_o judge_n at_o the_o last_o day_n will_v say_v to_o the_o wicked_a go_v you_o curse_v into_o everlasting_a fire_n prepare_v for_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o if_o hell_n be_v the_o place_n deserve_v by_o the_o wicked_a and_o destinate_a to_o they_o by_o almighty_a god_n then_o heaven_n can_v be_v no_o place_n to_o receive_v such_o person_n in_o and_o therefore_o if_o these_o man_n go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n without_o repentance_n they_o go_v to_o hell_n without_o all_o redemption_n and_o by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n word_n be_v a_o necessary_a condition_n require_v to_o the_o qualify_a of_o that_o person_n that_o shall_v be_v make_v

of_o this_o i_o will_v set_v down_o three_o conclusion_n 1._o concl._n blessedness_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o well_o do_v or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o of_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n commandment_n this_o may_v be_v prove_v first_o in_o general_n and_o then_o in_o particular_a 1._o in_o general_a thus_o david_n say_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v true_a and_o righteous_a altogether_o and_o then_o he_o add_v moreover_o by_o they_o be_v thy_o servant_n warn_v and_o in_o keep_v of_o they_o there_o be_v great_a reward_n ps_n 19.9_o 11._o and_o ps_n 58.11_o very_o say_v he_o there_o be_v a_o reward_n for_o the_o righteous_a very_o he_o be_v a_o god_n that_o judge_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o our_o lord_n say_v of_o himself_o that_o when_o he_o come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n he_o will_v reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n matt._n 16.27_o and_o s._n paul_n god_n say_v he_o will_v render_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o deed_n to_o they_o who_o by_o patient_a continuance_n in_o well-doing_n seek_v for_o glory_n and_o honour_n and_o immortality_n eternal_a life_n but_o unto_o they_o that_o be_v contentious_a and_o do_v not_o obey_v the_o truth_n indignation_n and_o wrath_n rom._n 2.6_o 7_o 8._o where_o 1_o when_o he_o say_v god_n will_v render_v according_a to_o work_n he_o show_v what_o the_o rule_n be_v by_o which_o god_n will_v proceed_v in_o judge_v of_o the_o world_n namely_o according_a to_o man_n work_n 2_o when_o he_o say_v to_o they_o who_o by_o patient_a etc._n etc._n he_o explain_v that_o rule_n by_o particular_a instance_n he_o will_v render_v to_o man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n 1._o to_o they_o which_o continue_v in_o well-doing_n he_o will_v render_v eternal_a life_n as_o their_o reward_n and_o to_o they_o that_o be_v contentious_a and_o disobedient_a shall_v be_v indignation_n and_o wrath_n by_o all_o which_o thus_o much_o be_v apparent_a that_o in_o general_a god_n reward_v well-doing_n with_o blessedness_n and_o eternal_a life_n 2._o now_o in_o the_o 2._o place_n let_v we_o consider_v how_o god_n reward_v particular_a and_o special_a virtue_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v 1._o that_o he_o reward_v martyrdom_n and_o patience_n in_o suffer_v for_o christ_n with_o blessedness_n and_o eternal_a life_n so_o say_v our_o saviour_n blessed_n be_v they_o which_o be_v persecute_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n for_o they_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n bless_a be_v you_o when_o man_n revile_v you_o and_o persecute_v you_o etc._n etc._n for_o great_a be_v your_o reward_n in_o heaven_n matt._n 5.10_o 11_o 12._o 2._o he_o reward_v mercifulnesse_n to_o christ_n disciple_n or_o confessor_n he_o that_o give_v a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n only_o to_o a_o believer_n in_o the_o name_n of_o a_o disciple_n he_o shall_v in_o no_o wise_n lose_v his_o reward_n matt._n 10.42_o 3._o he_o reward_v almsdeed_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a so_o our_o saviour_n when_o thou_o make_v a_o feast_n call_v the_o poor_a the_o maim_a the_o lame_a the_o blind_a and_o thou_o shall_v be_v bless_v for_o thou_o shall_v be_v recompense_v at_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o just_a luk._n 14.13_o 14._o 4._o affiance_n in_o god_n and_o his_o promise_n have_v a_o promise_n of_o reward_n so_o the_o apostle_n cast_v not_o away_o your_o confidence_n which_o have_v great_a recompense_n of_o reward_n heb._n 10.35_o 5._o faithfulness_n and_o obedience_n in_o servant_n towards_o their_o earthly_a master_n have_v a_o reward_n from_o god_n far_o more_o than_o their_o service_n be_v to_o man_n servant_n say_v the_o apostle_n obey_v in_o all_o thing_n your_o master_n not_o with_o eye_n service_n as_o men-pleasers_a but_o in_o singleness_n of_o heart_n fear_v god_n and_o whatsoever_o you_o do_v in_o your_o service_n to_o your_o master_n do_v it_o hearty_o as_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o unto_o man_n know_v that_o of_o the_o lord_n you_o shall_v receive_v the_o reward_n of_o the_o inheritance_n col._n 3.22_o 23_o 24._o thus_o the_o scripture_n go_v before_o we_o in_o diverse_a particular_a duty_n show_v how_o god_n do_v reward_v they_o and_o by_o these_o give_v we_o example_n how_o to_o judge_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o from_o hence_o the_o conclusion_n be_v apparent_a and_o clear_a that_o both_o in_o general_a and_o in_o each_o particular_a heaven_n and_o happiness_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o well-doing_n 2._o concl._n this_o reward_n of_o blessedness_n allot_v to_o good_a work_n be_v for_o the_o measure_n of_o it_o square_v &_o proportion_v according_a to_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o work_n for_o though_o all_o good_a work_n be_v reward_v with_o blessedness_n yet_o all_o be_v not_o reward_v in_o the_o like_a measure_n and_o degree_n those_o good_a work_n which_o excel_v other_o in_o goodness_n shall_v exceed_v other_o in_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o reward_n for_o every_o man_n say_v the_o apostle_n shall_v receive_v his_o own_o reward_n according_a to_o his_o own_o labour_n 1_o cor._n 3.8_o he_o speak_v there_o of_o some_o that_o plant_v and_o some_o that_o water_v and_o of_o they_o he_o say_v that_o every_o one_o shall_v receive_v his_o own_o reward_n he_o mean_v he_o that_o plant_v shall_v receive_v the_o reward_n of_o a_o plant_a and_o he_o that_o water_v shall_v have_v the_o reward_n of_o a_o waterer_n to_o the_o like_a purpose_n our_o

of_o a_o righteous_a man_n shall_v receive_v a_o righteous_a man_n reward_n matt._n 10.41_o by_o which_o speech_n this_o be_v imply_v that_o there_o be_v one_o kind_n of_o reward_n belong_v to_o a_o

will_v come_v short_a of_o the_o public_a because_o in_o the_o church_n man_n may_v join_v both_o read_n and_o hear_v together_o when_o they_o hear_v the_o minister_n voice_n they_o may_v look_v

in_o public_a god_n have_v promise_v a_o blessing_n not_o only_o to_o the_o exercise_n themselves_o but_o to_o the_o place_n also_o where_o they_o be_v perform_v even_o because_o it_o be_v god_n house_n but_o if_o we_o perform_v the_o same_o duty_n at_o home_n though_o he_o have_v promise_v a_o blessing_n to_o the_o service_n if_o they_o be_v perform_v in_o due_a sort_n yet_o he_o have_v promise_v no_o blessing_n to_o the_o place_n because_o it_o be_v any_o man_n dwelling_n or_o his_o private_a closet_n and_o now_o according_a to_o this_o rule_n and_o observation_n a_o man_n may_v expect_v a_o further_a blessing_n upon_o his_o read_n and_o hear_v in_o the_o church_n than_o he_o can_v expect_v upon_o the_o like_a performance_n in_o his_o own_o house_n all_o these_o thing_n concern_v the_o two_o question_n lay_v together_o the_o sum_n be_v this_o read_v of_o god_n word_n and_o hear_v of_o it_o read_v be_v both_o of_o they_o good_a exercise_n which_o god_n have_v couple_v together_o and_o man_n must_v not_o put_v they_o a_o sunder_o again_o the_o performance_n of_o these_o duty_n at_o home_n and_o in_o private_a be_v good_a in_o its_o season_n and_o may_v be_v a_o help_n that_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n may_v dwell_v rich_o in_o we_o but_o it_o must_v not_o in_o any_o case_n justle_v out_o the_o public_a service_n of_o the_o temple_n where_o god_n more_o especial_o do_v dwell_v and_o therefore_o as_o our_o lord_n say_v of_o the_o duty_n of_o mercy_n and_o justice_n compare_v with_o the_o duty_n of_o tithing_n anise_v and_o mint_n and_o cumine_fw-la these_o thing_n ought_v you_o to_o have_v do_v and_o not_o to_o leave_v the_o other_o undo_v matt._n 23.23_o so_o may_v i_o say_v of_o public_a and_o private_a both_o read_n and_o hear_v these_o we_o shall_v do_v and_o not_o leave_v the_o other_o undo_v my_o conclusion_n shall_v be_v a_o exhortation_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n 1._o that_o as_o occasion_n and_o opportunity_n will_v serve_v we_o be_v careful_a to_o read_v the_o scripture_n in_o our_o private_a house_n when_o i_o say_v as_o occasion_n and_o opportunity_n will_v serve_v i_o mean_v that_o i_o do_v not_o desire_v much_o less_o require_v that_o servant_n shall_v steal_v from_o their_o master_n the_o hour_n that_o be_v due_a to_o their_o service_n or_o that_o master_n themselves_o shall_v neglect_v the_o business_n of_o their_o call_n in_o which_o god_n have_v set_v they_o but_o i_o mean_v that_o both_o master_n and_o servant_n and_o all_o other_o christian_n shall_v redeem_v the_o time_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v that_o be_v shall_v take_v the_o occasion_n and_o make_v their_o best_a advantage_n of_o it_o while_o the_o time_n serve_v and_o he_o or_o she_o who_o beside_o the_o time_n allot_v for_o such_o exercise_n on_o sunday_n and_o holy_a day_n shall_v take_v those_o shred_n of_o time_n on_o the_o other_o day_n which_o each_o man_n business_n will_v permit_v he_o without_o either_o wrong_v of_o other_o or_o neglect_v of_o his_o own_o estate_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o within_o a_o few_o year_n he_o may_v be_v well_o read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n it_o be_v report_v of_o alphonsus_n king_n of_o arragon_n etc._n serar_fw-it in_o josh_n l._n 2._o pag._n 289._o etc._n etc._n that_o notwithstanding_o his_o great_a affair_n of_o government_n and_o the_o daily_a business_n of_o a_o kingdom_n yet_o he_o gain_v so_o much_o time_n for_o this_o use_n as_o that_o he_o read_v over_o the_o bible_n fourteen_o time_n with_o gloss_n &_o commentary_n upon_o the_o text._n and_o by_o this_o we_o may_v gather_v that_o no_o man_n place_n who_o be_v his_o own_o master_n be_v so_o full_a of_o business_n but_o if_o he_o will_v husband_n his_o time_n well_o &_o not_o drown_v himself_o in_o worldly_a care_n or_o lavish_a away_o his_o time_n in_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o sport_v he_o may_v gain_v sufficient_a time_n for_o read_v without_o neglect_v of_o the_o work_n of_o his_o place_n and_o calling_n yea_o and_o servant_n and_o labour_a man_n who_o have_v the_o few_o hour_n to_o spare_v yet_o if_o they_o be_v provident_a for_o their_o soul_n may_v now_o and_o then_o find_v some_o leisurable_a time_n for_o this_o exercise_n without_o either_o wrong_v of_o other_o who_o work_n they_o do_v or_o defraud_v of_o themselves_o of_o needful_a time_n of_o refresh_v 2._o my_o exhortation_n also_o be_v that_o we_o do_v not_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v keep_v at_o home_n without_o urgent_a cause_n when_o god_n by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o his_o church_n do_v call_v we_o into_o his_o house_n there_o be_v not_o a_o few_o in_o the_o world_n who_o partly_o through_o idleness_n and_o partly_o through_o fansifulnesse_n and_o contempt_n of_o government_n despise_v the_o good_a order_n of_o our_o church_n and_o neglect_v the_o public_a service_n to_o the_o offence_n of_o god_n and_o wrong_v of_o their_o own_o soul_n but_o they_o who_o be_v sober_a mind_v though_o they_o live_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o such_o a_o froward_a generation_n yet_o will_v consider_v and_o i_o beseech_v they_o so_o to_o do_v with_o heedfulnes_n &_o care_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o meet_v with_o his_o people_n in_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o that_o his_o eye_n will_v be_v open_a &_o his_o ear_n attent_a to_o the_o prayer_n that_o be_v make_v in_o the_o temple_n and_o that_o where_o two_o or_o three_o be_v gather_v together_o in_o his_o name_n he_o will_v be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o and_o they_o may_v further_o be_v remember_v that_o david_n when_o he_o hear_v that_o his_o child_n be_v dead_a go_v into_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o worship_v 2_o sam._n 12.20_o and_o not_o only_o the_o pharisee_n who_o delight_v to_o show_v his_o devotion_n in_o

question_n of_o it_o but_o that_o the_o house_n of_o god_n be_v the_o fit_a place_n to_o serve_v god_n in_o and_o that_o the_o hour_n appoint_v for_o public_a prayer_n be_v the_o best_a season_n for_o
