of_o this_o jude_n at_o his_o birth_n give_v he_o such_o a_o name_n as_o may_v move_v not_o only_a himself_o but_o his_o child_n after_o he_o to_o thankfulness_n and_o confession_n of_o god_n

in_o mind_n of_o the_o same_o duty_n here_o two_o question_n may_v be_v ask_v 〈◊〉_d first_o why_o be_v he_o call_v by_o so_o many_o name_n some_o think_v he_o have_v all_o these_o name_n give_v he_o by_o the_o people_n and_o multitude_n as_o signify_v all_o one_o thing_n other_o which_o be_v more_o probable_a that_o he_o be_v thus_o call_v by_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o rather_o then_o by_o his_o own_o name_n that_o the_o horrible_a fact_n of_o judas_n in_o betray_v his_o master_n shall_v be_v utter_o with_o his_o name_n forget_v 2._o a_o second_o question_n be_v whether_o may_v a_o man_n change_v his_o name_n or_o no_o 2._o if_o the_o change_n thereof_o be_v no_o preividce_n to_o any_o man_n much_o less_o hurtful_a to_o the_o church_n or_o commonwealth_n nor_o offend_v the_o

do_v faithful_o execute_v his_o function_n and_o perform_v his_o service_n first_o he_o plead_v his_o call_n for_o two_o cause_n first_o in_o regard_n of_o other_o and_o second_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o first_o that_o his_o doctrine_n may_v with_o more_o attention_n and_o reverence_n be_v receive_v of_o other_o see_v he_o run_v not_o unsent_a but_o be_v call_v and_o that_o to_o a_o

who_o have_v call_v he_o will_v stand_v by_o he_o both_o in_o protect_v his_o person_n and_o prosper_v his_o work_n in_o his_o hand_n use_v see_v the_o apostle_n jude_n before_o he_o write_v lay_v down_o his_o call_n so_o ought_v all_o minister_n to_o make_v their_o calling_n the_o foundation_n of_o all_o their_o proceed_n contain_v themselves_o within_o the_o compass_n thereof_o even_o as_o they_o be_v to_o teach_v the_o same_o duty_n unto_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o they_o tempt_v not_o the_o lord_n by_o pass_v the_o bond_n and_o limit_n of_o their_o call_n second_o in_o that_o jude_n though_o he_o be_v of_o the_o same_o tribe_n yea_o of_o near_a alliance_n unto_o christ_n yet_o he_o pass_v by_o all_o these_o respect_n which_o he_o may_v have_v stand_v upon_o and_o content_v himself_o with_o the_o title_n of_o a_o servant_n of_o christ_n we_o learn_v to_o make_v more_o account_n and_o esteem_v it_o a_o great_a privilege_n to_o be_v a_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n than_o to_o be_v of_o the_o kindred_n of_o king_n and_o ally_v to_o the_o great_a monarch_n of_o the_o world_n christ_n himself_o show_v we_o what_o kindred_n shall_v take_v up_o our_o chief_a

god_n and_o keep_v it_o this_o alliance_n in_o the_o faith_n be_v near_a and_o dear_a unto_o he_o then_o that_o in_o the_o flesh_n if_o then_o thou_o stand_v upon_o thy_o preferment_n strive_v to_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v more_o honourable_a then_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o a_o king_n to_o be_v a_o follower_n of_o chest_n be_v more_o than_o to_o go_v before_o the_o

thou_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o preferment_n and_o be_v admit_v a_o servant_n of_o christ._n three_o if_o we_o be_v admit_v the_o servant_n and_o follower_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v serve_v no_o
