own_o end_n god_n but_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v all_o for_o a_o high_a end_n as_o he_o that_o make_v we_o have_v appoint_v for_o the_o efficient_a can_v make_v a_o thing_n to_o what_o end_n he_o please_v you_o see_v it_o be_v so_o with_o man_n as_o a_o knife_n be_v make_v to_o cut_v a_o key_n to_o open_v etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o they_o be_v all_o of_o one_o material_a so_o the_o lord_n look_v down_o from_o heaven_n he_o make_v of_o one_o heap_n of_o clay_n several_a creature_n and_o appoint_v to_o every_o one_o his_o several_a end_n which_o end_n they_o must_v observe_v and_o aim_v at_o and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o they_o wrong_v he_o that_o make_v they_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v he_o destroy_v they_o and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v for_o a_o

several_a gift_n and_o several_a calling_n himself_o indeed_o be_v the_o general_a end_n but_o beside_o the_o general_a he_o appoint_v to_o every_o call_v a_o particular_a end_n to_o a_o minister_n he_o say_v go_v and_o feed_v my_o sheep_n if_o he_o go_v and_o feed_v himself_o and_o not_o the_o people_n if_o he_o feed_v they_o with_o stubble_n and_o not_o with_o hay_n he_o do_v not_o attain_v his_o end_n and_o so_o may_v i_o say_v of_o every_o thing_n else_o of_o a_o scholar_n a_o magistrate_n a_o husband_n they_o have_v several_a place_n and_o divers_a gift_n give_v they_o and_o all_o for_o their_o several_a end_n and_o if_o they_o aim_v not_o at_o their_o end_n but_o work_n for_o themselves_o they_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v destroy_v as_o a_o man_n if_o he_o have_v a_o instrument_n that_o be_v crooked_a and_o unfit_a for_o use_v than_o he_o cast_v it_o away_o and_o take_v another_o but_o if_o it_o be_v fit_a he_o will_v lay_v it_o up_o for_o use_n and_o he_o will_v say_v let_v it_o not_o be_v lose_v so_o do_v the_o lord_n with_o man_n if_o they_o be_v pliable_a to_o he_o if_o they_o will_v work_v for_o the_o end_n that_o he_o have_v appoint_v they_o than_o he_o save_v and_o preserve_v they_o but_o if_o they_o will_v do_v thing_n for_o their_o own_o end_n it_o be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o destruction_n for_o observe_v this_o for_o any_o man_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n for_o his_o own_o end_n be_v to_o arrogate_v that_o to_o himself_o which_o be_v the_o lord_n who_o be_v without_o cause_n which_o be_v a_o high_a kind_n of_o idolatry_n let_v they_o consider_v this_o therefore_o that_o labour_n that_o they_o may_v be_v rich_a that_o labour_n that_o they_o may_v have_v outward_a excellency_n and_o to_o be_v something_o in_o the_o flesh_n that_o labour_n only_o for_o outward_a honour_n for_o place_n of_o employment_n and_o credit_n in_o all_o thing_n so_o a_o scholar_n that_o be_v negligent_a he_o say_v i_o shall_v make_v a_o shift_n to_o live_v but_o have_v thou_o not_o another_o end_n be_v thou_o not_o make_v be_v thou_o not_o a_o creature_n be_v it_o enough_o for_o thou_o to_o live_v and_o no_o more_o so_o they_o that_o have_v their_o estate_n

this_o and_o look_v to_o it_o have_v i_o not_o choose_v this_o course_n of_o life_n and_o have_v i_o not_o a_o end_n appoint_v to_o i_o that_o end_n be_v to_o be_v serviceable_a to_o god_n and_o

idolatrous_a and_o sinful_a thought_n god_n may_v do_v all_o thing_n for_o himself_o because_o he_o have_v nothing_o above_o himself_o object_n but_o if_o thou_o do_v so_o thou_o provoke_v he_o to_o

that_o thou_o do_v it_o not_o for_o his_o sake_n that_o have_v appoint_v thou_o but_o for_o thy_o own_o 2_o if_o thou_o be_v fit_a for_o a_o high_a place_n if_o thou_o rest_v in_o thing_n that_o be_v

and_o be_v put_v in_o it_o and_o thou_o put_v thyself_o out_o again_o for_o thy_o advantage_n than_o thy_o end_n be_v thou_o own_o self_n paul_n when_o he_o go_v to_o macedonia_n he_o find_v but_o bad_a entertainment_n there_o yet_o he_o go_v because_o he_o be_v send_v so_o john_n he_o go_v to_o pathmos_n where_o the_o people_n be_v but_o few_o and_o barbarous_a yet_o he_o obey_v god_n and_o go_v eliah_n when_o he_o be_v send_v to_o ahab_n and_o to_o prophesy_v to_o the_o israelite_n among_o who_o for_o all_o that_o he_o know_v there_o be_v not_o one_o soul_n that_o do_v not_o bow_v his_o

that_o they_o do_v it_o not_o for_o themselves_o a_o servant_n be_v not_o to_o do_v his_o own_o work_n he_o do_v it_o as_o his_o master_n will_v have_v he_o to_o do_v it_o if_o he_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o his_o master_n bid_v he_o and_o say_v i_o be_o his_o servant_n and_o if_o he_o bid_v i_o to_o go_v i_o will_v go_v or_o if_o he_o bid_v i_o come_v i_o will_v come_v if_o he_o bid_v i_o to_o keep_v within_o door_n and_o to_o do_v the_o mean_a work_n i_o will_v do_v they_o this_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o he_o do_v not_o seek_v himself_o when_o a_o man_n be_v thus_o dependent_a upon_o god_n willing_a to_o take_v employment_n not_o above_o he_o nor_o below_o he_o nor_o resist_v his_o providence_n but_o willing_a to_o be_v guide_v by_o he_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o seek_v the_o lord_n and_o not_o himself_o 4_o beside_o let_v a_o man_n consider_v what_o he_o do_v in_o these_o service_n that_o immediate_o concern_v the_o lord_n himself_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v study_v much_o and_o pray_v little_a if_o a_o man_n shall_v spend_v all_o his_o time_n in_o his_o call_n about_o worldly_a business_n and_o little_a time_n for_o duty_n to_o build_v up_o himself_o in_o knowledge_n as_o in_o prayer_n and_o read_v etc._n etc._n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o do_v it_o not_o for_o the_o lord_n but_o for_o himself_o for_o he_o that_o seek_v not_o the_o lord_n in_o that_o which_o be_v do_v to_o his_o person_n he_o do_v it_o not_o in_o that_o which_o be_v do_v in_o outward_a work_n he_o that_o will_v not_o be_v faithful_a in_o the_o great_a and_o that_o which_o god_n do_v immediate_o command_v in_o his_o worship_n he_o will_v never_o be_v faithful_a in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v further_o off_o that_o be_v of_o less_o consequence_n act._n 6.4_o 6.4_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n they_o give_v themselves_o in_o integrity_n to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n because_o they_o give_v themselves_o to_o prayer_n as_o well_o as_o it_o they_o do_v as_o it_o be_v divide_v the_o time_n between_o both_o if_o we_o be_v to_o preach_v only_o say_v the_o apostle_n we_o can_v then_o wait_v upon_o table_n but_o one_o half_a of_o our_o time_n be_v to_o be_v take_v up_o in_o prayer_n the_o other_o in_o preach_v and_o if_o you_o thus_o divide_v the_o time_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n you_o look_v to_o the_o lord_n 5_o beside_o consider_v

shall_v think_v of_o every_o action_n and_o indeed_o the_o more_o we_o think_v of_o his_o particular_a providence_n the_o more_o we_o conceive_v of_o his_o infiniteness_n for_o why_o do_v we_o think_v man_n to_o be_v present_a but_o because_o they_o see_v and_o hear_v because_o they_o do_v something_o if_o the_o body_n be_v there_o and_o the_o soul_n go_v we_o say_v that_o the_o man_n be_v absent_a it_o be_v the_o action_n that_o make_v they_o present_a therefore_o the_o schoolman_n say_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v say_v to_o be_v present_a here_o or_o there_o because_o they_o work_v there_o therefore_o i_o say_v the_o more_o that_o we_o can_v see_v god_n hand_n in_o every_o action_n the_o more_o we_o acknowledge_v his_o presence_n therefore_o we_o shall_v labour_v to_o be_v abundant_a in_o consider_v the_o omnipresence_n of_o god_n upon_o all_o occasion_n as_o if_o a_o man_n be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o one_o come_v and_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o be_v so_o we_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v that_o god_n send_v he_o if_o we_o be_v in_o a_o strait_a and_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v and_o there_o come_v one_o and_o help_v we_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o it_o come_v from_o god_n so_o do_v david_n when_o abigail_n come_v and_o meet_v he_o he_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n send_v she_o 1_o sam_n 25.32_o and_o this_o will_v easy_o be_v believe_v if_o we_o will_v think_v that_o he_o be_v present_a every_o where_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o speak_v for_o we_o or_o against_o we_o that_o do_v we_o either_o hurt_n or_o good_a but_o god_n be_v present_a with_o he_o and_o stir_v he_o up_o to_o it_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v 1_o chro._n 5.26_o and_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n stir_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o pull_v king_n of_o assyria_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v he_o himself_o be_v present_a with_o his_o spirit_n he_o stir_v he_o up_o for_o the_o thought_n of_o man_n have_v their_o rise_n up_o from_o their_o spirit_n stir_v they_o to_o good_a or_o evil_n so_o also_o for_o their_o speech_n when_o shimei_n curse_v david_n david_n say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o send_v he_o so_o the_o lord_n be_v present_a with_o the_o creature_n it_o be_v he_o that_o act_v they_o and_o set_v they_o on_o work_n to_o do_v we_o any_o good_a and_o this_o be_v the_o next_o use_n that_o we_o be_v to_o make_v of_o it_o use_v 4_o four_o if_o god_n be_v present_v every_o where_o it_o shall_v teach_v we_o patience_n and_o meekness_n and_o quietness_n of_o mind_n in_o all_o injury_n and_o hard_a measure_n which_o we_o suffer_v from_o man_n offer_v this_o use_v you_o shall_v see_v make_v of_o it_o phil._n 4.5_o let_v your_o moderation_n be_v know_v unto_o all_o man_n the_o lord_n be_v at_o hand_n jam._n 5.8_o be_v you_o also_o patient_a establish_v your_o heart_n for_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n draw_v nigh_o therefore_o when_o any_o injury_n be_v do_v you_o when_o you_o be_v oppress_v by_o man_n that_o have_v power_n over_o you_o yet_o be_v quiet_a for_o god_n see_v it_o and_o know_v it_o and_o he_o take_v care_n for_o you_o a_o man_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v shall_v i_o take_v this_o shall_v i_o be_v trample_v under_o foot_n as_o i_o shall_v be_v if_o i_o resist_v they_o not_o say_v the_o apostle_n you_o need_v not_o to_o fear_v for_o the_o lord_n be_v present_a we_o use_v to_o say_v if_o the_o magistrate_n be_v not_o present_a we_o may_v offend_v another_o to_o defend_v ourselves_o but_o if_o the_o magistrate_n be_v present_a there_o be_v no_o excuse_n so_o here_o the_o judge_n stand_v at_o the_o door_n servant_n 9_o if_o their_o master_n be_v absent_a will_v defend_v themselves_o against_o their_o fellow-servant_n but_o if_o the_o master_n be_v there_o and_o look_v on_o they_o will_v let_v they_o alone_o because_o he_o have_v power_n to_o punish_v and_o know_v better_o how_o to_o revenge_v they_o so_o be_v it_o in_o this_o case_n when_o we_o consider_v that_o god_n be_v present_a and_o that_o he_o see_v what_o we_o suffer_v we_o shall_v be_v quiet_a and_o patient_a and_o not_o only_o be_v patient_a within_o but_o let_v our_o patient_a mind_n be_v know_v unto_o all_o man_n that_o be_v carry_v ourselves_o so_o that_o man_n may_v see_v it_o and_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o and_o if_o you_o say_v that_o nothing_o be_v do_v but_o he_o abuse_v i_o more_o and_o more_o i_o answer_v consider_v it_o be_v not_o because_o the_o lord_n be_v weak_a and_o can_v help_v we_o or_o because_o he_o be_v negligent_a and_o will_v not_o do_v it_o no_o he_o be_v present_a and_o see_v it_o all_o the_o while_n but_o you_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o due_a time_n be_v not_o come_v therefore_o you_o must_v be_v quiet_a and_o not_o tumultuous_a in_o your_o thought_n and_o revengeful_a in_o your_o spirit_n because_o the_o lord_n look_v on_o and_o will_v avenge_v you_o in_o due_a time_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n add_v in_o phil._n 4._o because_o when_o a_o man_n suffer_v any_o thing_n from_o another_o man_n than_o he_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o be_v solicitous_a how_o to_o defend_v himself_o and_o what_o he_o shall_v do_v hereafter_o say_v the_o apostle_n be_v you_o in_o nothing_o

worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n see_v that_o thy_o spirit_n be_v as_o near_o he_o as_o thy_o word_n be_v as_o for_o example_n in_o prayer_n thou_o confess_v thy_o sin_n and_o profess_v that_o thou_o do_v

close_o to_o his_o wealth_n as_o ever_o it_o be_v before_o so_o that_o he_o be_v loath_a to_o part_v with_o any_o thing_n and_o take_v a_o thief_n that_o come_v before_o the_o judge_n he_o confess_v his_o fault_n and_o beg_v pardon_n and_o say_v that_o he_o will_v do_v so_o no_o more_o but_o yet_o his_o heart_n sit_v as_o near_o to_o his_o theft_n he_o be_v as_o far_o from_o honesty_n as_o ever_o

as_o he_o do_v before_o therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v worship_v god_n in_o spirit_n take_v care_n that_o thy_o spirit_n draw_v near_o to_o he_o upon_o all_o such_o occasion_n as_o thy_o word_n do_v

this_o you_o be_v the_o man_n that_o the_o prophet_n do_v speak_v too_o you_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n with_o your_o lip_n but_o your_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o he_o and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o
