man_n much_o more_o shall_v man_n humble_v himself_o for_o man_n therefore_o though_o paul_n speak_v of_o a_o matter_n wherein_o he_o may_v command_v as_o he_o say_v to_o philemon_n i_o may_v command_v thou_o yet_o as_o he_o do_v rather_o beseech_v he_o so_o he_o do_v rather_o beseech_v they_o mark_v the_o subtlety_n of_o wisdom_n as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o as_o the_o serpent_n do_v use_v policy_n to_o tempt_v so_o the_o preacher_n may_v use_v policy_n to_o convert_v 1._o and_o so_o paul_n win_v agrippa_n to_o believe_v by_o persuade_v he_o that_o he_o do_v believe_v 27._o it_o be_v paul_n office_n to_o teach_v the_o roman_n but_o it_o be_v paul_n policy_n to_o beseech_v the_o roman_n until_o compulsion_n need_n gentleness_n be_v better_a than_o bitterness_n lenity_n deserve_v to_o go_v first_o and_o correction_n have_v no_o place_n if_o persuasion_n will_v serve_v i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n we_o do_v not_o use_v to_o entreat_v and_o beseech_v but_o for_o our_o profit_n but_o paul_n do_v beseech_v they_o for_o their_o profit_n we_o will_v have_v other_o humble_a themselves_o to_o we_o but_o paul_n humble_v himself_o to_o his_o inferior_n to_o make_v they_o humble_v themselves_o to_o god_n here_o the_o preacher_n may_v take_v example_n of_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gentile_n 13_o the_o love_a phrase_n be_v the_o apostle_n phrase_n and_o he_o which_o beseech_v shall_v persuade_v easy_a than_o he_o which_o thunder_v many_o have_v be_v draw_v with_o the_o cord_n of_o love_n which_o can_v never_o be_v hale_v with_o the_o chain_n of_o iron_n god_n be_v love_n and_o his_o minister_n must_v speak_v like_o love_n or_o else_o they_o do_v not_o speak_v like_o paul_n he_o which_o fish_v for_o soul_n and_o do_v not_o take_v his_o net_n shall_v fish_v all_o day_n as_o peter_n fish_v all_o night_n and_o catch_v nothing_o although_o a_o temperate_a preacher_n be_v a_o wise_a preacher_n and_o this_o be_v our_o policy_n to_o entreat_v and_o beseech_v you_o like_o paul_n 22._o yet_o you_o shall_v not_o look_v to_o be_v entreat_v like_o the_o guest_n which_o will_v not_o come_v but_o to_o be_v compel_v like_o the_o guest_n which_o come_v to_o the_o banquet_n for_o you_o must_v be_v entreat_v to_o your_o profit_n it_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o christ_n shall_v pay_v and_o pray_v the_o servant_n pray_v but_o the_o master_n command_v yet_o paul_n have_v not_o do_v his_o preparative_n he_o be_v loath_a that_o his_o suit_n shall_v take_v the_o repulse_n and_o therefore_o he_o use_v a_o mediator_n unto_o they_o and_o beseech_v they_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n mercy_n be_v a_o love_a solicitor_n and_o worthy_a to_o be_v hear_v because_o it_o hear_v again_o god_n do_v entreat_v we_o by_o the_o same_o mediator_n that_o we_o entreat_v god_n we_o entreat_v god_n for_o his_o mercy_n and_o god_n intreat_v we_o for_o his_o mercy_n so_o that_o mercy_n be_v like_o a_o sign_n between_o we_o which_o call_v god_n to_o hear_v we_o and_o we_o to_o hear_v he_o what_o will_v not_o a_o good_a subject_n do_v for_o a_o merciful_a prince_n many_o sweet_a thing_n be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o the_o name_n of_o mercy_n be_v the_o sweet_a word_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n which_o make_v david_n harp_n upon_o it_o 26._o time_n in_o one_o psalm_n six_o and_o twenty_o time_n he_o repeat_v this_o in_o the_o hundred_o thirty_o and_o sixth_o psalm_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v such_o a_o cheerful_a note_n in_o his_o ear_n when_o he_o strike_v upon_o mercy_n that_o like_o a_o bird_n which_o be_v teach_v to_o record_v when_o he_o have_v sing_v it_o he_o sing_v it_o again_o and_o when_o he_o have_v sing_v it_o again_o he_o record_v it_o again_o and_o make_v it_o the_o burden_n of_o his_o song_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o like_o a_o nightingale_n which_o when_o she_o be_v in_o a_o pleasant_a vain_a quaver_n and_o caper_n and_o treble_v upon_o it_o so_o do_v david_n upon_o his_o mercy_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o but_o here_o paul_n speak_v in_o the_o plural_a number_n not_o by_o the_o mercy_n but_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o plurality_n of_o god_n mercy_n his_o lesser_a mercy_n in_o his_o corporal_a blessing_n and_o his_o great_a mercy_n in_o his_o spiritual_a blessing_n his_o temporal_a mercy_n in_o earth_n and_o his_o everlasting_a mercy_n in_o heaven_n his_o prevent_a mercy_n in_o deliver_v we_o from_o sin_n and_o his_o follow_a mercy_n in_o pardon_v of_o our_o sin_n 3._o how_o many_o sin_n come_v with_o adam_n and_o how_o many_o curse_n come_v with_o sin_n so_o many_o mercy_n come_v with_o christ_n to_o answer_v they_o both_o therefore_o when_o paul_n can_v not_o number_v they_o for_o multitude_n he_o be_v fain_o to_o lay_v they_o down_o together_o in_o the_o gross_a sum_n and_o in_o a_o word_n call_v they_o mercy_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o can_v number_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o the_o less_o i_o can_v number_v they_o the_o more_o they_o be_v thus_o much_o why_o paul_n call_v they_o brethren_n and_o why_o he_o beseech_v they_o and_o why_o he_o remember_v they_o of_o god_n mercy_n now_o he_o have_v prepare_v the_o way_n he_o commence_v his_o suit_n that_o they_o will_v give_v their_o body_n to_o god_n he_o speak_v not_o here_o of_o the_o soul_n though_o he_o will_v have_v they_o give_v their_o soul_n too_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n but_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o the_o body_n be_v a_o servant_n to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n both_o be_v too_o little_a and_o therefore_o one_o be_v not_o enough_o and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o soul_n too_o 20_o but_o here_o he_o speak_v the_o rather_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o their_o battle_n will_v be_v with_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o the_o flesh_n will_v be_v unwilling_a to_o this_o sacrifice_n as_o christ_n say_v the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a but_o the_o flesh_n be_v frail_a 43._o that_o be_v the_o flesh_n will_v not_o afford_v any_o thing_n to_o god_n though_o he_o do_v never_o so_o much_o for_o she_o yet_o she_o be_v like_o churlish_a naball_n which_o will_v do_v nothing_o again_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n urge_v so_o to_o give_v the_o body_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v draw_v forward_o that_o which_o he_o draw_v backward_o and_o let_v the_o conversion_n begin_v where_o sin_n have_v his_o root_n if_o you_o can_v win_v the_o flesh_n which_o be_v like_o nabal_n the_o soul_n will_v come_v like_o abigail_n and_o bring_v her_o train_n with_o she_o now_o to_o show_v how_o we_o shall_v give_v our_o body_n to_o god_n the_o apostle_n say_v give_v your_o body_n a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n that_o be_v you_o must_v give_v your_o body_n to_o god_n 13._o as_o if_o you_o do_v sacrifice_v they_o the_o law_n appoint_v a_o sacrifice_n in_o which_o all_o the_o member_n be_v offer_v together_o so_o you_o must_v give_v your_o member_n to_o god_n for_o the_o body_n be_v all_o all_o be_v but_o part_n of_o the_o body_n therefore_o if_o you_o must_v give_v your_o body_n 8._o you_o must_v geve_v eye_n &_o ear_n &_o tongue_n &_o hand_n and_o foot_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o heart_n say_v paul_n do_v but_o believe_v because_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o believe_v therefore_o he_o add_v the_o mouth_n do_v confess_v as_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o confess_v unto_o salvation_n as_o to_o believe_v unto_o justification_n so_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o sacrifice_v the_o tongue_n as_o the_o heart_n what_o then_o be_v the_o tongue_n enough_o nay_o say_v christ_n he_o which_o have_v a_o ear_n to_o hear_v let_v he_o hear_v 15_o be_v the_o ear_n enough_o nay_o say_v david_n lift_v up_o your_o hand_n to_o his_o sanctuary_n 2._o be_v the_o hand_n enough_o nay_o say_v solomon_n let_v thy_o eye_n behold_v the_o right_n 25._o be_v the_o eye_n enough_o 27._o nay_o say_v solomon_n remove_v thy_o foot_n from_o evil_n so_o the_o word_n pass_v like_o a_o collectour_n from_o one_o member_n to_o another_o to_o gather_v tribute_n for_o god_n until_o the_o body_n have_v pay_v as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n therefore_o in_o deut._n 6._o 5._o god_n command_v not_o only_o thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n &_o with_o all_o thy_o mind_n but_o with_o all_o thy_o strength_n that_o be_v if_o thou_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n for_o he_o with_o the_o strength_n of_o thy_o hand_n or_o the_o strength_n of_o thy_o eye_n or_o the_o strength_n of_o thy_o ear_n or_o any_o part_n else_o
we_o will_v not_o sin_n 18._o therefore_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v call_v a_o contrite_a heart_n 17_o but_o the_o heart_n the_o wicked_a be_v call_v a_o heart_n that_o can_v repent_v 5._o beside_o 30._o as_o christ_n cast_v out_o a_o legion_n of_o devil_n at_o once_o so_o the_o godly_a will_v be_v purge_v of_o all_o their_o sin_n together_o but_o the_o wicked_a never_o consent_v to_o leave_v all_o but_o as_o naaman_n say_v let_v the_o lord_n spare_v i_o in_o this_o 18._o so_o ever_o he_o except_v one_o sin_n which_o be_v his_o belove_a sin_n like_o herod_n 3._o which_o reform_v many_o thing_n &_o yet_o will_v not_o leave_v his_o brother_n wife_n they_o be_v distinguish_v in_o charity_n for_o you_o shall_v never_o see_v the_o wicked_a love_n their_o enemy_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o pharisy_n can_v not_o love_v their_o enemy_n 43._o they_o teach_v that_o man_n may_v hate_v their_o enemy_n and_o christ_n speak_v of_o publican_n and_o sinner_n 32._o exhort_v his_o disciple_n not_o to_o love_v like_o they_o because_o they_o love_v none_o but_o their_o friend_n they_o be_v distinguish_v in_o prayer_n for_o the_o wicked_a can_v pray_v therefore_o david_n say_v they_o call_v not_o upon_o the_o lord_n 4._o as_o if_o they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n 10._o and_o therefore_o christ_n call_v their_o prayer_n 16._o babble_a for_o they_o think_v not_o of_o god_n when_o they_o speak_v unto_o he_o 7._o they_o be_v distinguish_v in_o patience_n no_o hypocrite_n can_v bear_v the_o cross_n but_o say_v like_o cain_n 13._o it_o be_v heavy_a than_o i_o can_v suffer_v but_o paul_n and_o silas_n sing_v in_o prison_n 25._o for_o a_o faithful_a man_n will_v have_v something_o to_o humble_v he_o &_o rejoice_v to_o bear_v his_o master_n mark_n 17._o because_o the_o wound_n of_o a_o lover_n be_v sweet_a they_o be_v distinguish_v in_o the_o use_n of_o adversity_n for_o this_o be_v a_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a mark_n of_o god_n child_n to_o profit_v by_o affliction_n and_o therefore_o we_o read_v not_o in_o all_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o wicked_a that_o one_o of_o they_o say_v like_o david_n 71._o it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o that_o i_o have_v be_v afflict_v they_o be_v distinguish_v in_o humility_n for_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o humble_v before_o the_o cross_n like_a pharaoh_n that_o never_o sorrow_v 15._o but_o when_o he_o suffer_v but_o the_o apostle_n learned_a humility_n of_o their_o master_n 29_o before_o their_o persecution_n come_v they_o be_v distinguish_v in_o their_o judgement_n of_o the_o word_n for_o to_o the_o wicked_a it_o seem_v the_o hard_a and_o simple_a &_o unpleasant_a book_n that_o be_v 18._o and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v that_o it_o be_v foolishness_n unto_o they_o but_o to_o the_o godly_a it_o seem_v the_o wise_a and_o eloquent_a and_o sweet_a and_o easy_a book_n of_o all_o other_o as_o though_o god_n do_v sudden_o bring_v the_o understanding_n of_o it_o to_o they_o 20._o as_o jacob_n say_v of_o his_o venison_n according_a to_o that_o 17._o he_o that_o will_v do_v his_o will_n shall_v know_v his_o doctrime_n they_o be_v distinguish_v in_o their_o judgement_n of_o god_n the_o wicked_a be_v persuade_v now_o and_o then_o of_o god_n mercy_n for_o the_o present_a time_n while_o they_o feel_v it_o as_o the_o jew_n praise_v he_o always_o 20._o when_o he_o do_v as_o they_o will_v have_v he_o but_o they_o can_v persuade_v themselves_o that_o god_n will_v be_v merciful_a to_o they_o still_o like_a job_n 15._o which_o say_v though_o the_o lord_n kill_v i_o yet_o will_v i_o trust_v in_o he_o therefore_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o righteous_a be_v call_v hope_n in_o death_n 32._o beside_o if_o the_o wicked_a love_n god_n it_o be_v but_o for_o his_o benefit_n 18._o as_o saul_n love_v he_o for_o his_o kingdom_n and_o this_o be_v always_o to_o be_v note_v 6_o that_o in_o the_o wicked_a the_o fear_n of_o hell_n be_v great_a than_o be_v their_o hope_n of_o heaven_n but_o in_o the_o faithful_a the_o hope_n of_o heaven_n be_v great_a than_o their_o fear_n of_o hell_n they_o be_v distinguish_v in_o their_o delight_n for_o the_o sport_n of_o the_o ungodly_a be_v folly_n 4._o like_o belshazzer_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o be_v sick_a or_o trouble_a they_o never_o run_v to_o the_o word_n for_o comfort_n as_o though_o god_n promise_n pertain_v not_o to_o they_o but_o to_o feast_n or_o table_n or_o tale_n 23_o or_o music_n as_o saul_n do_v to_o the_o harp_n but_o all_o the_o delight_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v like_o david_n dance_n about_o the_o ark_n 14._o they_o be_v never_o merry_a but_o when_o they_o be_v do_v well_o nor_o at_o peace_n but_o when_o their_o prayer_n have_v overcome_v god_n 28._o like_a jacob_n they_o be_v distinguish_v in_o their_o opinion_n of_o death_n 23._o for_o the_o faithful_a long_o to_o be_v dissolve_v 29._o &_o although_o they_o may_v live_v ever_o in_o continual_a prosperity_n yet_o they_o will_v not_o stay_v so_o long_o out_o of_o heaven_n but_o the_o wicked_a will_v never_o be_v dissolve_v because_o death_n come_v always_o unto_o they_o like_o a_o jailor_n to_o hale_v unto_o prison_n 8._o as_o ahab_n say_v to_o michaiah_n that_o he_o never_o prophesy_v good_a to_o he_o hereby_o a_o man_n shall_v know_v whether_o he_o have_v faith_n for_o if_o he_o do_v believe_v the_o promise_n he_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o receive_v they_o they_o be_v distinguish_v in_o their_o sense_n of_o sin_n wicked_a man_n feel_v the_o loathsomeness_n of_o their_o vice_n but_o none_o but_o the_o faithful_a feel_v the_o defect_n of_o their_o righteousness_n the_o natural_a man_n never_o complain_v of_o his_o good_a work_n but_o vaunt_v of_o they_o but_o a_o godly_a man_n find_v fault_n with_o his_o prayer_n 6._o and_o his_o alm_n and_o his_o watch_n 2._o like_o isaiah_n that_o say_v his_o righteousness_n be_v like_o a_o menstruous_a cloth_n as_o christ_n meet_v the_o tempter_n in_o the_o wilderness_n 2._o a_o place_n of_o prayer_n and_o fast_v and_o meditation_n so_o a_o godly_a man_n meet_v the_o tempter_n in_o his_o prayer_n and_o in_o his_o fast_n and_o in_o his_o meditation_n that_o be_v he_o find_v some_o let_n or_o spot_n or_o want_v in_o all_o his_o devotion_n therefore_o unless_o thy_o righteousness_n mislike_v thou_o as_o well_o as_o thy_o profaneness_n know_v that_o yet_o thou_o be_v no_o further_a than_o the_o wicked_a they_o be_v distinguish_v in_o their_o end_v for_o the_o child_n of_o god_n propose_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o level_v all_o their_o thought_n and_o speech_n and_o action_n as_o if_o they_o be_v messenger_n send_v to_o carry_v he_o present_n of_o honour_n thus_o do_v david_n when_o he_o say_v 1._o all_o that_o be_v within_o i_o praise_v the_o lord_n as_o though_o himself_o have_v rather_o be_v without_o praise_n than_o his_o master_n but_o the_o child_n of_o the_o world_n set_v up_o their_o own_o glory_n for_o their_o mark_n like_o nabuchadnezzar_n 27._o which_o say_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o my_o majesty_n dan._n 4._o 27._o therefore_o they_o speak_v and_o look_v and_o walk_v as_o if_o they_o do_v say_v to_o their_o tongue_n and_o eye_n and_o foot_n and_o apparel_n as_o saul_n say_v to_o samuel_n 30._o honour_v i_o before_o this_o people_n last_o they_o be_v distinguish_v in_o perseverance_n for_o the_o zeal_n of_o the_o wicked_a last_v not_o and_o therefore_o god_n say_v 8._o they_o be_v soon_o turn_v out_o of_o the_o way_n but_o the_o zeal_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v represent_v by_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o temple_n 12._o which_o never_o go_v out_o by_o these_o difference_n thou_o may_v see_v how_o much_o thou_o do_v differ_v from_o the_o wicked_a or_o whether_o thou_o be_v of_o their_o band_n then_o come_v to_o the_o three_o examination_n examination_n as_o the_o devil_n tempt_v thou_o ●_o to_o see_v what_o thou_o will_v do_v for_o he_o so_o thou_o must_v tempt_v thyself_o and_o get_v of_o thy_o soul_n what_o it_o will_v do_v for_o god_n and_o what_o it_o will_v suffer_v for_o he_o which_o have_v suffer_v death_n for_o it_o therefore_o here_o we_o will_v set_v down_o certain_a interrogatory_n whereof_o thou_o shall_v examine_v it_o first_o whether_o thou_o have_v the_o heart_n of_o joshua_n to_o worship_n god_n as_o bold_o as_o thou_o do_v 15_o though_o all_o the_o world_n do_v renounce_v he_o and_o every_o one_o do_v mock_v thou_o as_o they_o do_v noah_n while_o he_o build_v the_o ark_n whether_o thou_o will_v not_o deny_v christ_n as_o peter_n do_v 70_o if_o thou_o be_v in_o peter_n strait_n and_o nothing_o to_o succour_v thou_o but_o thy_o policy_n whether_o thou_o will_v not_o steal_v 81._o if_o thou_o do_v see_v a_o booty_n as_o fit_a as_o achan_n which_o thou_o may_v catch_v up_o
