A
SERMON
DEDICATORY
AT
THE
Consecration
of
Epping
Chappell
.
Exodus
20.
24.
In
all
places
where
I
record
my
Name
,
I
will
come
vnto
thee
,
and
I
will
blesse
thee
.
IT
is
worthy
our
observation
,
how
that
immediately
after
the
penning
of
the
ten
Commandements
,
the
holy
Ghost
falles
in
these
last
verses
of
this
Chapter
to
the
pressing
and
seconding
of
the
Second
Commandement
:
yea
,
and
when
the
Law
and
Covenant
was
renewed
at
the
second
writing
of
the
Tables
,
Exod
.
34.
10.
The
first
and
maine
thing
largely
insisted
on
in
sixe
whole
verses
,
from
the
twelfth
to
the
end
of
the
seventeenth
,
is
the
inculcation
of
of
obedience
to
this
Law
.
And
generally
we
may
obserue
it
,
that
in
all
the
bookes
of
Moses
there
is
no
one
Commandement
so
often
repeated
,
vrged
,
insisted
vpon
,
as
the
Second
and
the
Fourth
:
whence
haply
it
may
be
,
that
the
Iewes
say
,
that
the
precept
for
the
Sabbath
,
and
the
precept
against
Idolatrie
are
as
waighty
as
all
the
other
Commandements
of
the
Law
.
Now
,
what
may
the
reason
of
this
be
?
Why
such
vrging
of
this
Commandement
with
reasons
,
such
fencing
of
this
Commandement
with
prohibitions
,
and
threatenings
aboue
all
the
rest
of
the
Commandements
?
Questionlesse
God
saw
all
men
naturally
to
bee
as
the
Caldeans
Ier
.

mad
vpon
their
Idols
.
Hee
saw
man
to
be
so
naturally
prone
to
Idolatrie
and
superstion
,
that
all
Prohibitions
,
Repetitions
,
Inculcations
,
and
Restraints
,
would
be
all
little
enough
to
keepe
the
head-strong
violence
of
corrupt
nature
within
compasse
.
The
neighings
of
corrupt
nature
after
Idols
,
are
such
as
iustly
makes
the
Lord
a
Iealous
God
.
Mans
madnesse
vpon
spirituall
vncleanenesse
,
and
strange
loue
,
makes
the
Lord
thus
Iealous
,
and
his
iealousie
makes
him
thus
cautelous
,
and
provident
.
Who
would
haue
thought
,
that
after
such
a
terrible
sight
as
the
Children
of
Israell
saw
at
the
giuing
of
the
Law
,
after
such
deliberate
,
and
resolute
promises
as
those
,
Exod
.
19.

and
20.

that
they
would
at
all
,
or
at
least
,
in
a
long
time
,
haue
offered
to
haue
broken
any
of
these
Lawes
?
And
yet
notwithstanding
,
How
quickly
turned
they
out
of
the
way
which
God
commanded
them
?
Exod
.
34.
8.
Quickly
indeed
,
forty
dayes
were
not
yet
expired
,
before
they
haue
turned
out
of
the
way
.
And
what
was
the
first
Commandement
they
so
quickly
transgressed
?
That
Commandement
which
is
second
in
order
,
was
the
first
in
transgression
.
The
second
Commandement
was
the
first
that
was
openly
and
generally
transgressed
after
the
Law
was
given
.
Yea
,
not
onely
did
they
doe
it
quickly
,
but
(
that
it
may
appeare
they
did
it
madly
)
they
did
it
whilest
the
terrible
signes
of
Gods
presence
were
visibly
remaining
;
for
even
at
that
present
did
the
Mountaine
yet
burne
with
fire
,
as
appeares
,
Deut.
9.
15.
One
would
haue
thought
,
that
Gods
bare
Commandement
should
haue
beene
a
sufficient
restraint
,
or
if
that
not
enough
,
yet
withall
the
remembrance
of
the
late
terrible
sight
at
the
giving
of
the
Law
,
or
if
that
were
forgotten
,
yet
the
terrible
sight
now
in
their
eyes
,
the
Mountaine
yet
burning
with
fire
,
might
haue
kept
them
from
this
sin
.
All
serues
to
let
vs
see
mans
madnesse
vpon
superstition
,
and
the
cause
of
this
dealing
of
Gods
,
in
these
verses
,
to
insist
first
and
alone
vpon
the
pressing
of
this
second
Commandement
.
Now
in
these
fiue
last
verses
,
there
are
-
1
A
prohibition
,
with
a
reason
.
vers
.
22.
23.
-
2
Certaine
Canons
,
and
Constitutions
concerning
the
Altar
whereon
they
were
to
sacrifice
.
The
Canons
are
three
.
-
1
For
the
matter
of
the
Altar
,
an
Altar
of
earth
,
or
an
Altar
of
stone
.
vers
.
24.
25.
-
2
For
the
fashion
of
the
Altar
,
a
plaine
vnpolisht
fashion
.
vers
.
25.
-
3
For
the
manner
of
the
service
of
the
Altar
.
vers
.
26.
The
first
Canon
for
the
Altar
,
is
verse
24.
An
Altar
of
earth
shalt
thou
make
vnto
me
,
and
thereon
shalt
thou
sacrifice
,
&c.
Which
Iunius
will
haue
to
be
vnderstood
of
the
Altar
to
be
vsed
whilest
the
Arke
was
vnder
Curtaines
in
the
Itineary
condition
of
the
Church
,
before
the
Lord
took
vp
his
aboad
and
continuall
residence
in
the
Temple
,
at
which
time
the
Altar
was
of
brasse
.
1

64.
Others
vnderstand
it
of
the
earth
wherewith
the
Altar
was
to
bee
filled
,
there
being
a
brazen
Altar
in
the
Tabernacle
.
How
ever
,
yet
an
Altar
of
earth
is
prescribed
.
Now
God
having
prescribed
an
Altar
of
earth
for
sacrifice
;
flesh
and
carnall
reason
which
affects
a
pompous
and
a
portly
service
,
might
be
ready
to
take
offence
,
and
to
stumble
at
this
Altar
of
earth
.
What
an
Altar
of
earth
for
the
God
of
heaven
?
How
suite
they
,
what
proportion
betweene
the
glorious
God
of
heauen
,
and
a
homly
Altar
of
earth
?
Is
it
likely
that
God
will
smell
a
savour
of
Rest
from
such
an
Altar
?
Is
there
any
likelihood
that
Gods
presence
will
bee
at
,
or
his
blessing
vpon
such
a
place
?
Now
therefore
in
these
words
of
my
text
,
the
Lord
meets
with
this
,
and
prevents
the
scandall
that
might
bee
taken
at
the
mean
matter
of
the
Altar
.
As
if
he
should
haue
said
,
Let
not
the
meanenesse
,
or
the
homelinesse
of
mine
Altar
trouble
or
offend
you
,
thinke
not
that
that
shall
any
way
hinder
my
presence
,
or
communion
with
you
,
or
my
blessing
vpon
you
,
so
long
as
I
record
my
name
there
,
and
doe
appoint
it
the
place
vpon
which
my
name
shall
be
called
,
and
where
my
name
shall
be
called
vpon
,
bee
the
matter
of
the
Altar
what
it
will
,
and
the
place
as
meane
as
it
will
,
yet
in
all
places
where
I
record
my
name
,
where
I
set
vp
mine
ordinances
,
I
will
come
vnto
thee
,
there
shall
bee
my
presence
,
and
I
will
blesse
thee
,
and
there
shall
bee
my
blessing
.
The
earthen
Altar
shall
neither
hinder
my
comming
to
you
,
nor
my
blessing
vpon
you
,
I
will
record
my
name
there
,
I
will
appoint
mine
ordinances
to
be
there
,
and
my
Name
being
there
,
my
presence
,
and
my
blessing
shall
bee
as
well
there
,
even
at
the
Altar
of
earth
,
as
if
it
were
an
Altar
of
brasse
,
yea
an
Altar
of
beaten
gold
.
And
thus
we
haue
the
coherence
,
and
sense
of
the
wordes
:
So
that
the
summe
of
them
is
indeed
nothing
else
but
the
Consecration
,
or
Dedication
of
the
Altar
.
In
which
Consecration
there
is
a
promise
of
two
things
.
-
1
Of
Gods
presence
,
I
will
come
vnto
thee
.
-
2
Of
Gods
blessing
,
I
will
blesse
thee
.
Both
illustrated
from
the
latitude
and
extent
of
the
promise
:
God
confines
not
the
promise
of
his
presence
,
and
blessing
to
any
one
Angle
,
or
speciall
place
:
but
bee
the
place
where
it
will
be
,
if
his
Name
be
recorded
there
,
thither
will
he
come
,
there
will
hee
blesse
.
In
all
places
where
I
record
my
name
,
I
will
come
vnto
thee
,
and
I
will
blesse
thee
.
To
begin
first
with
the
coherence
,
and
occasion
,
and
to
take
the
drift
or
the
whole
together
.
Though
but
an
Altar
of
earth
,
yet
I
will
come
,
yet
I
will
blesse
.
Learne
hence
,
that
the
simplicity
of
Gods
ordinances
is
neither
barre
to
his
presence
,
nor
barre
to
his
blessing
.
God
will
bee
present
and
powerfull
in
meane
and
simple
ordinances
.
God
will
not
onely
come
and
giue
a
blessing
at
an
Altar
of
brasse
,

nor
yet
at

But
be
it
an
Altar
of

Ezek

or
an
Altar
of
earth
,
here
in
the
Text
,
or
an
Altar
of
plaine
vnpolisht
stone
,
verse
25.
yet
the
meane
materialls
shall
neither
hinder
Gods
presence
,
nor
his
blessing
.
The
efficacy
of
Ordinances
depends
not
vpon
their
externall
matter
,
or
glory
,
but
vpon
Gods
Consecration
and
Institution
of
them
.
All
Ordinances
haue
their
efficacy
from
this
,
that
Gods
name
is
recorded
in
them
.
And
so
long
as
Gods
name
is
recorded
on
the
Altar
,
that
it
hath
Institution
,
and
sanctification
from
him
,
let
it
be
wooden
,
or
earthen
,
bee
it
what
it
will
be
,
Gods
presence
,
and
his
blessing
depends
vpon
his
Institution
,
and
not
vpon
the
earth
or
the
wood
:
no
,
nor
yet
the
brasse
and
gold
of
the
Altar
.
Yea
therefore
the
Lord
seemes
even
to
affect
a
kind
of
simplicity
in
the
eye
of
man
in
all
his
Ordinances
,
that
the
excellency
of
the
power
may
be
of
God
,
2
Cor
.
4.
7.
and
not
of
the
instruments
.
If
the
Altar
were
gold
,
how
many
carnall
eyes
would
so
dote
vpon
the
beautie
of
the
mettall
,
as
that
they
would
be
ready
to
ascribe
all
the
efficacy
thereof
rather
to
the
gold
,
then
to
God
himselfe
.
And
therefore
the
Lord
on
purpose
will
haue
it
of
earth
,
that
it
may
appeare
that
neither
gold
furthers
,
nor
earth
hinders
the
presence
and
blessing
of
God
.
Hee
will
come
never
the
sooner
,
blesse
never
the
more
for
a
golden
;
he
will
come
never
the
later
,
blesse
never
the
lesse
for
an
earthen
Altar
.
The
lesse
glory
in
the
Altar
,
the
more
glory
to
God
,
who
perfects
his
power
in
weaknesse
,
his
glory
in
outward
meannesse
,
and
gets
himselfe
great
glory
in
convaying
heavenly
blessings
by
earthly
instruments
.
Looke
ouer
all
Gods
Ordinances
,
&
we
shall
see
in
them
a
marvailous
simplicity
,
and
yet
notwithstanding
their
earthly
simplicitie
,
we
shall
finde
in
them
an
heavenly
and
a
divine
efficacy
.
The
Gospell
is
indeed
as
Saint
Paul
calls
it
,
the
glorious
Gospell
of
the
Lord
Iesus
,
but
yet
look
vpon
it
with
the
eye
of
flesh
,
and
what
glory
can
be
seene
in
it
more
then
in
an
Altar
of
earth
.
And
yet
as
meane
a
shew
as
it
makes
,
it
is
the
power
of
God
to
salvation
to
every
one
that
beleeves

The
ordinance
of
preaching
carryes
such
a
simplicitie
with
it
,
that
the
world
counts
it
foolishnesse
;
and
yet
vnto
such
as
are
saved
it
is
the
power
of
God
,
and
it
pleases
God
by
the
foolishnesse
of
preaching
to
saue

The
Sacraments
,
what
outward
port
,
or
glory
more
in
them
,
then
in
the
Altar
of
earth
?
The
spinkling
of
a
little
water
vpon
a
childs
face
,
the
eating
and
drinking
of
a
little
bread
and
wine
;
they
make
nothing
the
shew
that
the
pompous
ceremonies
and
services
of
Pagans
and
Papists
doe
,
they
are
but
as
Sacraments
of
earth
.
And
yet
as
the
Altar
of
earth
,
so
these
Sacraments
haue
the
promise
of
Christs
presence
,
and
his
blessing
,
and
are
the
excellent
and
powerfull
instruments
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
to
doe
more
then
all
the
golden
,
glittering
,
glorious
,
and
specious
inventions
,
and
pompous
services
of
man
are
able
to
doe
.
Though
Christ

a
triumphant
chariot
,
but

to
the
simplicity
of

ancient

Reioyce
greatly
O
daughter
of
Sion
,
shout
O
daughter
of
Ierusalem
,
behold
,
thy
King
comes
vnto
thee
.
This
simplicity
is
no
preiudice
to
his
Regall
power
.
So
in
the
Sacraments
,
how
simple
&
mean
an
outside
they
haue
,
yet
their
power
and
efficacy
is
no
whit
weakened
thereby
.
Christ
is
no
lesse
Christ
,
no
lesse
a
King
though
poore
vpon
his
Asse
,
then
if
hee
were
drawne
with
the
horses
and
chariots
of
Pharoah
.
The
people
make
Aaron
make
a
golden
calfe
,
there
is
gold
,
but
there
is
no
institution
.
God
commands
Moses
to
make
a
brazen
Serpent
.
There
was
but
a
mean
matter
,
but
yet
there
was
an
institution
.
The
Calfe
for
all
the
gold
brought
death
,
the
Serpent
though
but
brasse
,
yet
brought
health
and
life
.
Plaine
brasse
with
Gods
Name
is
more
soueraigne
,
then
the
most
precious
gold
without
his
Name
.
Therefore
God
on
purpose
opposes
the
Altar
of
earth
to
the
Gods
of
silver
and
gold
,
vers
.
23.
and
makes
a
promise
of
his
presence
and
blessing
to
the
earthen
Altar
,
when
those
golden
Gods
should
haue
neither
.
The
publike
assemblies
of
Gods
Saints
are
often
but
meane
,
and
infrequent
,
it
may
be
two
or
three
gathered
together
in
Christs
name
:
yet
where
,
he
saith
not
two
or
three
thousand
,
but
two
or
three
are
gathered
together
in
my
Name
,
there
will
I
bee

all
the
Altars
looked
,
and
pointed
,
even
Christ
himselfe
,
and
what
was
he
but
as
an
Altar
of
earth
in
the
eyes
of
the
world
:
but
yet
God
was
with
him
,
and
this
earthen
Altar
was
annoynted
with
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
with
power
.
Act.

His
visage
was
so
marred
more
then
any
man
,
and
his
forme
more
then
the
sonnes
of
men
,
Esa
.
52.

Hee
hath
no
forme
nor
comelinesse
,
no
more
then
had
an
Altar
of
earth
:
There
is
no
beauty
that
we
should
desire
him
,
Esa
.
53.

yet
shall
hee
sprinkle
many
nations
,
and
Kings
shall
shut
their
mouthes
at
him
,
Esa
.
52.
15.
The
chastisements
of
our
peace
was
vpon
him
,
and
with
his
stripes
we
are
healed
.
How
contemptible
was
hee
in
comparison
of
the
ruffling
Rabbins
,
the
Scribes
and
Pharisies
,
they
men
in
authority
,
but
alas
the
simplicity
that
was
in
Christ
,
2
Cor
.
11.

But
take
him
in
the
execution
of
his
Ministery
,
and
how
preaches
he
?
He
taught
as
one
having
authority
,
and
not
as
the
Scribes
,
Math
.
7.
29.
The
Scribes
and
Pharisies
happely
were
in
authority
,
Christ
but
a
Carpenters
son
:
and
yet
the
Scribes
outward
authority
,
addes
nothing
to
their
authority
in
preaching
,
nor
Christs
simplicity
,
takes
nothing
from
his
power
in
his
dispensation
.
There
is
more
power
,
and
authority
in
Christs
Ministery
,
then
in
the
Scribes
,
notwithstanding
Christs
meeke
simplicity
,
and
their
greatnes
and
outward
glory
.
This
meets
with
the
pride
and
presumption
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
who
being
ashamed
of
the
simplicity
of

Acts

the
Altar
of
earth
,
haue
reared
them
glorious
and
golden
Altars
.
The
simplicity
of
Christs
Gospell
will
not
downe
with
them
,
but
they
must
haue
a
Religion
wherein
every
sense
may
haue
his
play-fellow
.
A
pulpit
for
preaching
,
and
a
wooden
table
for
the
Sacrament
,
how
despicable
are
these
in
Bellarmine
eyes
?
His
sensuall
Religion
must
haue
an
outward
glory
,
and
maiestie
to
commend
it
to
mans
senses
:
and
they
must
haue
their
Temples
gloriously
set
forth
with
Crosses
,
Images
,
Altars
,
Tapers
,
or
else
their
devotion
is
in
the
dust
.
So
it
pleased
Weston
that
foule
mouthed
Prolocutor
,
at
that
disputation
in
Oxford
,
against
Cranmer
,
Ridley
,
and
Latimer
,
to
scoffe
at
the
simplicity
of
Gods
Ordinances
amongst
the
Professors
of
the
truth
.
They
will
haue
(
saith
hee
)
no
Churches
,
an
Hovell
is
good
enough
for
them
.
They
come
to
the
Communion
with
no
reverence
,
they
get
them
a
tankard
,
&c.
No
,
no
:
an
Hovell
was
a
fitter
harbour
for
him
,
and
his
harlots
,
which
cost
him
the
losse
of
all
his
Ecclesiasticall
preferments
.
And
yet
an
Hovell
,
yea
or
worse
then
an
Hovell
,
so
bee
it
Gods
Name
had
beene
recorded
there
,
and
Gods
Ordinances
there
was
to
be
preferred
before
their
Idolatrous
Temples
.
Whilest
their
persecutions
would
allow
no
better
then
Hovels
,
and
woods
,
an
Hovell
had
Gods
presence
and
blessing
,
whilest
their
glorious
Temples
had
nothing
but
their
puppets
,
and
mammets
there
,
yea
well
if
there
were
not
a
worse
there
,
such
an
one
as
Ieroboams
calues
had
,
2
Chron
.
11.

How
well
therefore
hath
the
holy
Ghost
fitted
Rome
in
this
regard
,
with
the
title
of
an
Whore
.
Revel
.
17.
Why
an
Whore
?
One
reason
,
because
she
is
degenerated
from
that
simplicity
,
and
matron-like
modesty
where
with
Christs
chast
Spouse
is
attyred
,
and
shee
is
now
,
as
Prov.
7.
10.
in
the
attyre
of
an
harlot
.
What
may
that
attyre
be
?
A
garish
gallantry
,
and
a
glorious
outside
,
not
like
the
Kings
daughter
all
glorious
within
,
Psal
.
45.
but
like
an
Whore
,
all
glorious
without
alone
.
For
the
woman
was
arayed
in
purple
,
and
scarlet
colour
,
and
decked
with
gold
,
and
precious
stones
,
and
pearles
,
having
a
golden
Cup
in
her
hand
,

She
is
arrayed
in
purple
,
and
scarlet
colour
,
a
glorious
habit
,
and
farre
more
desirable
in
the
eyes
of
carnall

,
then
the
despicable
and
base
habit
of
the
two

She
is

with

gold
,
and
precious

:
so
are
her
Churches
,
her
Images
,
her
Idols
,
all
gloriously
adorned
to
set
foorth
an
outward
maiestie
to
sense
:
and
shee
hath
a
golden
Cup
,
but
what
is
within
?
Abomination
and
filthinesse
of
fornication
.
And
so
her
golden
Altars
,
who
hath
despised
the
earthen
Altar
of
Gods
Institution
,
that
is
,
the
simplicity
of
his
Ordinances
,
are
no
better
then
her
Images
,
and
her
Images
no
better
then
those
Ezek
.
7.
20.
Images
of
Abomination
.
Thus
their
golden
Churches
,
their
golden
Altars
,
their
golden
Religion
is
full
of
abomination
,
and
the
filthinesse
of
her
fornication
.
All
is
but
the
Whores
garish
habite
to
catch
carnall
eyes
.
It
was
an
old
observation
,
that
at
first
the
Church
had
wooden
chalices
,
and
golden
Priests
,
and
so
also
golden
Christians
:
but
afterwards
it
had
golden
chalices
,
and
wooden
Priests
,
and
so
wooden
Christians
also
.
And
surely
it
is
maruailous
iust
with
God
,
when
men
will
not
be
content
with
the
simplicity
of
his
Ordinances
,
but
will
be
turning
his
earth
into
gold
,
to
meet
with
them
in
their
kinde
,
and
to
turne
their
gold
into
earth
.
Oh
the
simplicity
of
the
Primitiue
Church
,
and
Christians
,
then
no
Popish
pomp
in
Gods
services
,
and
yet
what
excellent
Christians
,
what
rare
measures
of
grace
and
holinesse
!
Oh
how
glorious
was
the
Kings
Daughter
,
within
?
But
when
once
superstition
and
Popery
began
to
creepe
in
,
and
that
would
needs
be
gilding
,
and
graving
Gods
earthen
Altar
,
as
fast
as
they
turned
earth
into
gold
and
silver
,
so
fast
their
silver
became
drosse
.
Esa
.
1.
22.
And
as
fast
as
their
outward
glorie
came
in
,
so
fast
their
inward
beauty
decayed
,
as
many
a
naturall
and
natiue
beauty
is
marred
with
artificiall
paint
,
and
plastering
.
It
is
true
indeed
,
that
the
service
of
the
Tabernacle
,
and
the
Temple
were
outwardly
glorious
,
but
that
glory
was
not
so
much
for
pompe
,
as
in
type
,
and
mystery
to
shadow
forth
those
excellent
perfections
that
were
to
bee
in
Christ
.
And
therefore
the
type
being
fulfilled
,
and
ceased
,
why
should
that
outward
glory
continue
?
why
will
they
set
vp
that
glorious
Temple
of
Ierusalem
againe
,
which
was
neither
built
nor
demolished
without
reference
to
Christ
.
A
seemly
and
a
graue
comelinesse
becomes
Gods
Ordinances
,
and
the
places
of
publike
Assemblies
,
but
golden
and
graven
Altars
wee
dare
not
meddle
with
,
least
we
should
seeme
to
controule
his
wisedome
that
hath
prescribed
an
Altar
of
earth
.
It
is
a
faire
Item
to
all
those
that
are
to
waite
at
the
Altar
,
the
Ministers
of
the
Word
.
Doth
not
the
simplicity
of
Gods
Ordinances
barre
Gods
presence
,
nor
his
blessing
,
take
we
heed
then
of
being
ashamed
of
their
simplicity
.
Will
God
come
to
,
and
blesse
from
the
Altar
of
earth
?
be
not
ashamed
then
to
serue
at
such
an
Altar
.
We
must
not
be
wiser
then
God
,
to
build
Altars
of
gold
,
when
he
prescribes
Altars
of
earth
.
I
am
ready
sayes
Paul
,
to
preach
the
Gospell
to
you
that
are
at
Rome
also
.
Rom.
1.
15.
At
Rome
?
Rome
is
the
most
glorious
Citie
of
the
world
,
there
is
a
confluence
of
all
the
most
wise
and
iudicious
men
of
the
earth
;
the
Gospell
is
counted
a
silly
ridiculous
foolish
thing
,
what
then
will
Paul
doe
preaching
it
at
Rome
?
well
for
all
this
,
I
am
ready
to
preach
it
at
Rome
,
for
I
am
not
ashamed
of
the
Gospell
of
Christ
,
for
it
is
the
power
of
God
to
salvation
.
As
meane
and
contemptible
as
it
is
,
as
little
shew
of
wisedom
,
and
learning
as
it
carries
with
it
,
yet
so
long
as
I
know
that
Gods
powerfull
blessing
accompanies
it
,
I
am
not
,
nor
will
not
be
ashamed
of
it
,
no
not
at
Rome
.
Oh
shame
for
too
many
of
vs
,
wee
are
ashamed
of
the
Gospell
of
Christ
,
of
the
plaine
,
and
profitable
dispensation
of
the
Word
.
If
they
should
go
that
wayes
to
worke
,
they
should
shew
no
learning
,
no
schollership
,
no
art
,
no
reading
,
no
wit
.
Such
kinde
of
preaching
would
but
disgrace
,
and
shame
them
.
And
thus
are
too
many
ashamed
to
serue
at
this
Altar
of
earth
,
and
would
bee
at
a
golden
Altar
.
Why
should
we
be
ashamed
of
that
Altar
whereof
God
is
not
ashamed
?
How
hath
experience
iustified
,
that
God
is
powerfully
present
with
his
blessing
at
the
earthen
Altar
of
plaine
preaching
!
What
needs
a
better
patterne
of
preaching
,
then
to
preach
as
Christ
preacht
?
Such
as
was
Gods
Altar
,
such
was
his
preaching
.
Iohn
3.
12.
If
I
haue
told
you
earthly
things
,
that
is
,
If
I
haue
preacht
vnto
to
you
in
a
plain
familiar
manner
,
with
earthly
similitudes
,
such
as
hee
had
vsed
from
the
winde
before
.
Loe
here
was
a
Sermon
like
the
Altar
,
an
Altar
of
earth
,
a
plaine
Altar
,
a
Sermon
of
earth
,
a
plaine
familiar
Sermon
.
Indeed
God
giues
leaue
in
the
next
verse
,
to
make
an
Altar
of
stone
,
which
was
more
solid
,
and
substantiall
than
earth
,
but
yet
it
must
be
a
plaine
Altar
still
,
it
must
not
be
hewed
,
and
curiously
squared
.
I
but
if
the
Altar
had
bin
hewed
&
squared
,
would
it
not
haue
bin
so
much
the
neater
,
and
handsommer
?
But
what
sayes
the
Text
,
verse
25
?
If
thou
lift
vp
thy
toole
vpon
it
,
thou
hast
polluted
it
.
Thus
that
which
in
mans
iudgement
would
haue
been
polition
,
Gods
Law
makes
pollution
,
that
which
men
would
count
finenesse
,
God
counts
filthinesse
.
So
for
preaching
,
where
curiosity
of
method
,
Art
,
disposition
,
phrase
,
and
ostentation
of
learning
,
and
reading
,
rather
then
substance
for
edification
is
affected
,
it
is
no
better
then
polluting
the
pulpit
,
and
wisedome
of
words
makes
the
Crosse
of
Christ
of
none
effect
.
1
Cor
.

and
when
we
preach
our selues
,
we
preach
not
Christ
Iesus
the
Lord
.
2

I
would
not
be
misconstrued
,
I
pleade
not
for
idle
negligent
,
and
slubbering
handling
of
the
Word
,
I
condemne
not
Art
,
diligence
,
learning
,
painfulnesse
,
and
substance
.
For
cursed
is
every
one
that
doth
the
worke
of
the
Lord
negligently
.
And
I
would
haue
all
Ministers
in
their
ministeriall
provision
,
doe
as
David
did
,
1
Chron
.
29.
2.
I
haue
prepared
with
all
my
might
for
the
house
of
my
God
.
The
oyle
for
the
lamps
of
the
Tabernacle
must
be
beaten
,
Exo
.
27.
20.
It
must
not
be
powred
out
of
the
Iarre
into
the
Lampe
,
but
first
it
must
be
wel
beaten
.
God
would
not
haue
his
Ministers
idle
,
he
would
not
haue
them
only
poure
the
oyle
out
of
the
Iarre
,
not
haue
them
to
be
translators
,
and
transcribers
,
but
would
haue
them
beat
their
heads
,
and
beat
their
braines
thoroughly
,
to
prepare
for
light
in
the
ministery
of
the
Word
.
So
in
the
Consecration
of
the
Priests
,
Exod
.
29.
27.
The
brest
of
the
waue
offering
,
and
the
shoulder
of
the
heaue
offering
must
be
sanctified
.
To
teach
the
Priests
,
that
with
all
their
heart
in
their
brest
,
and
with
all
the
strength
in
their
shoulders
,
they
should
doe
the
service
of
the
Ministry
.
By
no
meanes
therefore
doe
I
plead
for
idlenesse
:
a
man
may
worke
hard
though
hee
paint
not
,
and
there
is
a
meane
betweene
curiosity
and
slovenry
,
betweene
painted
bravery
and
sordid
basenes
in
apparell
.
And
as
excessiue
curiosity
in
apparell
,
though
by
the
Iewish
gallant
Dames
was
counted
finenesse
,
Esa
.
3.
yet
,
Esa
.
4.

God
calls
it
the
filthinesse
of
the
daughters
of
Sion
.
So
affected
eloquence
,
swelling
phrases
,
the
over
pompous
and
gaudy
enterlacements
of
Poetry
,
Philophy
and
other
secular
learning
,
meerly
for
ostentation
,
whereby
many
thinke
to
adorne
,
and
set
forth
preaching
,
and
which
many
esteeme
the
onely
fine
preaching
,
this
God
counts
the
filth
of
preaching
,
the
very
dung
of
the
sacrifice
,
that
pollutes
his
Ordinance
,
as
hewing
and
graving
was
the
polluting
of
the
Altar
.
Surely
God
would
neither
bee
present
at
,
nor
giue
a
blessing
from
a
polluted
Altar
.
God
forbad
hony
in
all
the
sacrifices
,
Levit
.
2.
11.
The
Iewes
say
the
reason
was
,
because
hony
would
froth
vpon
the
hot
Altar
,
and
God
would
haue
no
frothy
stuffe
vpon
his
Altar
.
How
true
their
reason
is
I
know
not
,
but
whether
God
hated
froth
vpon
his
Altar
or
no
,
yet
certainly
hee
hates
it
in
the
Pulpit
,
and
that
which
some
men
thinke
to
sweeten
their
preaching
withall
,
doth
but
turne
it
into
vnwholsome
frothinesse
,
and
their
delectable
things
shall
not
profit
.
Esa

In
the
last
verse
of
this
chapter
,
God
would
haue
no
steps
vp
to
his
Altar
,
that
the
Priests
nakednes
be
not
discovered
thereon
.
It
is
a
thing
would
be
thought
on
by
Gods
Ministers
,
so
oft
as
they
ascend
the
steps
vp
into
the
Pulpit
,
take
heed
we
goe
not
vp
the
steppes
into
the
Pulpit
,
to
discover
our
nakednesse
therein
.
Whilest
some
as
being
ashamed
of
the
simplicity
of
Gods
Ordinance
,
thinke
to
discover
their
wit
,
their
art
,
their
eloquence
,
they
doe
in
truth
discover
their
nakednesse
,
their
emptinesse
,
their
vanity
and
folly
.
This
it
is
,
when
men
are
ashamed
of
an
earthen
Altar
,
and
must
haue
golden
,
and
graven
ones
.
I
know
no
disparagement
,
nor
disgrace
that
it
would
haue
beene
to
Aaron
hinselfe
,
the
high
Priest
,
even
in
all
his
pontificall
glory
,
to
haue
ministered
at
an
earthen
Altar
,
so
long
as
Gods
presence
,
and
blessing
were
there
.
Let
people
take
heed
of
taking
offence
at
the
meanenesse
of
Gods
Ordinances
;
Some
stumble
at
the
outward
meanenesse
of
the
Ministers
person
,
some
at
the
plainnesse
of
his
teaching
.
Either
Christ
is
the
Carpenter
Iosephs
son
,
or
else
Paul
is
rude
in
speech
:
either
hee
is
a
plaine
man
of
no
port
,
and
parentage
,
or
else
hee
is
a
plaine
preacher
,
shewes
nothing
that
learning
that
others
doe
,
therefore
they
cannot
profit
by
him
:
If
hee
were
a
man
of
greater
place
,
or
great
gifts
,
then
they
could
gaine
good
by
him
.
But
what
if
God
will
bee
served
at
an
Altar
of
earth
,
canst
not
thou
serue
him
because
it
is
not
an
Altar
of
gold
?
Must
God
call
mans
wisedome
to
counsell
when
hee
reares
an
Altar
?
Must
God
frame
his
Altar
to
mens
humors
,
or
men
subiect
their
folly
to
Gods
wisedome
?
Ill
would
they
with
the
wise
men
,
Mat
.
2.
haue
fell
down
,
and
haue
worshipped
Christ
in
that
meane
fashion
they
found
him
in
,
that
will
not
worship
at
an
Altar
of
earth
.
And
so
much
for
the
generall
drift
,
and
scope
of
the
whole
verse
.
To
come
now
to
the
promise
.
The
first
thing
promised
is
,
I
will
come
vnto
thee
.
But
where
will
hee
come
?
In
all
places
where
my
name
is
recorded
,
that
is
,
where
mine
Ordidinances
are
.
Where
Gods
Name
is
,
there
is
God
himselfe
.
Where
two
,
or
three
be
gathered
together
in
my
Name
,
there
will
I
be
in
the
midst
of
them
,
Mat
.
18.
Where
Christs
Name
is
,
Christs
presence
is
,
Apoc
.

Behold
the
Tabernacle
of
God
is
with
men
.
There
is
Gods
Name
,
his
Ordinances
.
And
mark
what
followes
,
And
he
will
dwell
with
men
,
and
they
shall
be
his
people
,
and
God
himselfe
shall
bee
with
them
,
and
bee
their
God
.
So
Exod
.
23.
8.
And
let
them
make
me
a
Sanctuary
,
that
I
may
dwel
amongst
them
.
Therfore
the
Prophet
Ezekiel
after
a
large
description
of
the
ordinances
of
Gods
worship
,
that
should
be
in
that
Ierusalem
,
giues
the
Citie
this
name
,
The
Lord
is
there
,
Ezek
.
48.
35.
And
so
may
every
place
be
called
where
Gods
Name
is
.
So
soone
as
the
Tabernacle
was
raysed
,
the
Altar
,
and
the
rest
of
Gods
Ordinances
were
erected
;
and
Moses
had
finished
the
worke
:
Then
a
cloud
covered
the
Corgregation
,
and
the
glory
of
the
Lord
filled
the
Tabernacle
.
No
sooner
his
House
vp
,
but
then
God
came
and
tooke
possession
.
Hereupon
the
Tabernacle
is
frequently
called
the
Tabernacle
of
cogregation
,
or
the
Tabernacle
of
meeting
,
not
because
the
people
met
there
together
to
perform
holy
duties
,
but
because
God
himselfe
came
thither
,
and
there
hee
and
the
people
met
,
according
to
that
,
Exod
.
29.
42.
43.
At
the
doore
of
the
Tabernacle
of
the
Congregation
before
the
Lord
,
where
I
will
meete
you
,
to
speake
there
vnto
thee
,
And
there
I
will
meete
with
the
children
of
Israel
.
To
which
the
Prophet
alludes
,
Esa
.
6.
4.
5.
Thou
meetest
him
that
reioyceth
,
and
worketh
righteousnes
.
And
is
God
himselfe
in
those
places
where
his
Name
is
recorded
?
How
are
such
places
then
honoured
that
haue
Gods
name
in
them
?
Who
am
I
,
sayes
Elizabeth
,
that
the
mother
of
my
Lord
should
come
vnto
mee
,
Luk
.
1.
43.
But
behold
a
greater
then
the
mother
of
the
Lord
is
here
,
where
the
Name
of
God
is
recorded
,
even
God
himselfe
is
there
.
Such
great
honour
doth
God
doe
those
places
,
to
which
hee
vouchsafes
his
Ordinances
.
How
much
then
are
such
places
bound
to
praise
his
Name
,
to
walke
worthy
of
his
Name
,
to
make
much
of
his
Name
,
and
to
take
heed
of
taking
his
Name
in
vaine
?
It
is
good
keeping
God
amongst
vs
,
and
therefore
good
keeping
of
his
Name
,
for
where
his
Name
is
,
hee
is
.
Take
heed
therefore
of
taking
his
Name
in
vaine
,
by
an
vnprofitable
vse
of
his
ordinances
,
lest
hee
remoue
his
Name
,
and
so
himselfe
remoue
.
For
when
his
Name
goes
,
hee
goes
.
Is
God
where
his
Name
is
?
Say
then
of
such
places
where
thou
seest
Gods
Name
recorded
,
as
Peter
said
of
the
Mount
,
It
is
good
for
vs
to
be
here
.
It
is
good
being
where
God
is
,
good
dwelling
where
God
dwels
.
Say
to
the
Lord
,
as
Ruth
to
Naomi
,
Ruth
1.
16.
Whither
thou
goest
I
will
goe
,
and
where
thou
dwellest
I
will
dwell
.
Sodome
was
a
pleasant
place
,
was
a
profitable
place
,
and
Lot
is
in
loue
with
it
for
the
commodious
pastures
,
and
waters
:
But
what
were
the
Inhabitants
?
Exceeding
sinners
before
the
Lord
,
Gen.
13.
The
place
like
the
Garden
of
God
,
a
very
Paradise
,
but
very
Divels
that
were
in
this
Paradise
.
Profit
was
there
,
pleasure
was
there
,
a
paradise
was
there
,
but
God
was
not
there
:
for
his
Name
was
not
there
.
What
a
sorrow
then
makes
Lot
there
?
God
dwels
where
his
Name
is
,
they
doe
not
chuse
their
dwellings
in
Gods
Name
,
that
seeke
to
dwell
other
where
then
where
he
dwels
.
Isaacks
patterne
is
worthy
imitation
,
Gen.
26.
25.
Hee
pitched
his
Tent
there
.
Where
?
He
builded
an
Altar
there
,
and
called
vpon
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
pitched
his
Tent
there
.
Where
Gods
Altar
was
,
there
was
Gods
Name
,
and
where
Gods
Name
was
,
there
was
Isaacks
Tent
.
It
is
good
pitching
ones
Tent
where
the
Altar
is
.
Why
so
?
Gods
Name
is
there
.
And
what
if
his
Name
be
there
?
In
all
places
where
I
record
my
Name
,
I
will
come
vnto
thee
.
The
Arke
went
ever
before
the
Israelites
to
finde
them
a
resting
place
.
Numb
.
10.
It
is
good
following
the
Arke
,
for
God
is
where
the
Arke
is
:
and
when
wee
pitch
where
the
Arke
pitches
,
then
with
Ruth
wee
come
vnder
Gods
wing
.
But
liue
wee
in
a
Paradise
as
the
Sodomites
did
,
And
in
the
meane
time
want
Gods
Ordinances
,
and
wee
liue
no
better
then
the
Ephesians
did
before
their
conversion
,
Without
God
in
the
world
,
Ephes
.
2.
12.
For
Israell
liued
without
God
,
whilest
they
liued
without
a
teaching
Priest
.
2
Chron
.
15.
3.
Therefore
if
ever
it
should
be
any
ones
lot
to
dwell
in
a
land
of
darknesse
,
where
Gods
Ordinances
are
not
,
and
God
dwels
not
,
I
giue
him
that
aduise
which
the
Congregation
gaue
to
Ruben
,
Gad
,
and
the
halfe
Tribe
of
Manasseh
,
Iosh
.
22.
19.
If
the
land
of
your
possession
bee
vncleane
,
then
passe
ye
over
vnto
the
land
of
the
possession
of
the
Lord
,
wherein
the
Lords
Tabernacle
dwels
,
and
take
possession
there
.
Is
God
where
his
Name
is
?
Then
according
to
the
occasion
of
our
present
assembly
,
see
what
is
the
onely
course
to
Consecrate
Churches
,
and
Chappels
.
Then
may
a
man
say
,
such
places
are
consecrated
,
when
God
is
in
them
,
and
dwels
in
them
.
When
doth
God
dwell
in
any
place
?
Then
when
his
Name
is
recorded
there
,
when
his
Ordinances
are
there
.
See
Exod
.

I
will
meet
you
to
speake
there
vnto
thee
,
and
there
I
will
meete
with
the
children
of
Israel
:
And
the
Tabernacle
shall
be
sanctified
by
my
glory
,
And
I
will
sanctifie
the
Tabernacle
of
the
Congregation
,
and
the
Altar
.
What
then
sanctified
the
Tabernacle
?
Not
the
sprinkling
of
the
blood
,
not
the
anoynting
of
it
with
the
oyle
.
These
were
but
ceremoniall
sanctifications
,
these
did
sanctifie
onely
touching
the
purification
of
the
flesh
,
Heb
.
9.
But
what
then
did
sanctifie
the
Tabernacle
?
It
shall
be
sanctified
by
my
glory
,
and
,
I
will
meet
you
to
speake
there
vnto
you
,
and
I
will
sanctifie
the
Tabernacle
.
The
sprinkling
and
annoynting
would
never
haue
consecrated
the
Tabernacle
,
if
God
had
not
dwelt
there
,
if
God
had
not
met
them
there
.
Gods
dwelling
there
was
the
thing
indeed
that
sanctified
it
.
Heere
then
is
for
our
direction
,
wee
haue
here
built
a
place
,
an
house
for
the
Lord
.
Now
if
we
get
not
God
into
it
what
are
we
the
neare
for
all
our
cost
?
Let
our
next
care
be
to
get
God
,
and
keepe
God
in
it
.
How
may
that
bee
done
?
Let
vs
get
and
keepe
his
Name
recorded
here
.
And
if
wee
haue
his
Name
here
,
his
Ordinances
of
the
Word
,
and
Prayer
,
then
hee
himselfe
is
here
,
and
wee
shall
haue
him
here
.
This
is
the
principall
Consecration
of
all
,
without
which
other
Consecrations
are
to
little
purpose
.
All
things
are
sanctified
by
the
Word
and
Prayer
,
1
Tim
.
4.

as
well
as
meates
and
drinkes
.
Places
built
for
Gods
worship
are
sanctified
by
the
Word
,
Gods
Word
is
his
Name
.
Acts

Ioh
.

6.
And
the
Word
is
the
boxe
,
in
the
ministery
whereof
the
sweet
savour
of
his
Name
is
poured
foorth
.
Cant
.
1.

Gods
Word
is
his
Name
,
where
his
Word
is
,
his
Name
is
,
where
his
Name
is
hee
is
,
where
hee
is
and
dwels
,
there
he
sanctifies
.
The
maine
substantials
therfore
requirable
in
a
Consecration
,
are
the
Word
and
Prayer
,
which
haue
the
promise
of
Gods
presence
.
Who
would
build
an
ordinary
dwelling
house
to
haue
it
stand
empty
?
who
would
build
an
house
for
Zijm
and
Iim
,
Ostriches
and
Scrichowles
to
dwell
in
?
Now
,
since
all
this
cost
hath
beene
bestowed
on
this
place
,
let
our
care
now
be
that
it
stand
not
empty
,
that
Zijm
and
Iim
inhabit
not
here
.
If
wee
will
keepe
them
out
,
get
God
to
dwell
here
,
get
him
to
bee
tenant
to
it
,
giue
him
possession
of
it
.
How
shall
that
be
done
?
Get
and
keepe
his
Name
recorded
here
.
Be
carefull
to
hold
vp
the
service
of
his
Name
,
the
ministery
of
the
Gospell
here
,
and
then
be
sure
it
shall
not
stand
empty
:
for
,
in
all
places
where
my
Name
is
recorded
,
I
will
come
vnto
thee
.
And
if
God
come
,
it
shall
not
stand
empty
.
The
second
promise
follows
:
And
I
will
blesse
thee
.
Where
Gods
Name
is
,
there
is
Gods
blessing
.
Gods
blessing
attends
his
Ordinances
:
Gods
blessing
is
as
the
shadow
of
his
Name
,
that
alwayes
followes
and
goes
with
it
.
In
all
places
where
my
Name
is
recorded
I
will
blesse
thee
.
The
former
point
is
a
reason
of
this
,
God
and
his
blessing
goe
not
asunder
,
and
where
Gods
Name
is
,
God
himselfe
is
:
of
necessity
therefore
where
his
Name
is
,
his
blessing
must
be
.
His
presence
and
his
blessing
go
not
asunder
.
Gen.
26.
24.
I
will
be
with
thee
and
I
will
blesse
thee
:
His
presence
attends
his
Ordinances
,
and
so
his
Ordinances
are
attended
with
blessing
.
Gods
Ordinances
are
not
onely
blessed
,
but
blessing
Ordinances
.
Therefore
the
Lord
amongst
other
his
Ordinances
,
appointed
a
seruice
of
blessing
.
Numb
.
6.
23.
Aaron
and
his
sonnes
must
blesse
.
Where
Aaron
and
his
sonnes
are
,
there
a
blessing
is
.
But
what
shall
Israel
be
the
better
for
their
blessing
?
see
verse
27.
They
shall
put
my
Name
vpon
the
children
of
Israel
,
and
I
will
blesse
them
.
Obserue
how
Gods
Name
and
his
blessing
goe
together
.
Neither
doth
God
onely
promise
it
,
but
it
was
made
good
:
2
Chron
.
30.
27.
Then
the
Priests
,
the
Levites
arose
and
blessed
the
people
,
and
their
voyce
was
heard
,
and
their
prayer
came
vp
to
his
holy
dwelling
place
,
even
into
Heaven
.
Where
God
giues
his
Priests
hee
giues
a
blessing
,
an
effectuall
blessing
.
A
point
by
the
way
,
if
some
would
take
better
notice
of
it
,
it
would
learne
them
to
take
heed
,
not
onely
of
hating
,
and
cursing
their
Ministers
,
but
to
blesse
God
for
them
.
The
phrase
of
the
Psalmist
is
remarkeable
.
Psal
.
128.
5.
and
Psal
.
134.
3.
The
Lord
that
made
heaven
and
earth
,
blesse
thee
out
of
Sion
.
Not
out
of
heaven
,
but
out
of
Sion
.
Though
all
blessings
come
originally
from
heaven
,
yet
Sion
is
the
place
through
which
they
passe
to
vs
,
and
we
cannot
haue
them
immediatly
from
heaven
,
but
they
must
come
to
vs
through
Sion
,
the
place
whereon
they
light
from
heaven
,
yea
there
the
Lord
hath
commanded
the
blessing
.
Psal
.
133.
3.
The
windes
and
the
seas
obey
him
,
therefore
the
blessing
shall
,
and
there
,
namely
,
out
of
Sion
hath
God
commanded
the
blessing
.
Out
of
Sion
then
as
well
as
out
of
Heaven
comes
the
blessing
.
And
why
so
?
Because
out
of
Sion
God
hath
shined
.
Psal
.
50.
2.
And
his
Word
and
his
Law
come
thence
.
Esa
.
2.
3.
and
therefore
thence
hath
hee
commanded
a
blessing
.
The
blessings
of
God
are
of
two
sorts
,
by
Moses
his
division
.

After

of

So
the
Lord
blessed
Obed
Edom
and
all
his
houshold
.
Whence
came
this
blessing
?
It
was
told
King
David
,
saying
;
The
Lord
hath
blessed
the
house
of
Obed

,
and
all
that
pertained

of

The

Yea

not

Now
I

seeing
I
haue

If
hee
had
had
the
Lord
to
be
his
God
,
and
had
had
his
ordinances
which
he
had
prescribed
,
his
argument
had
had
much
strength
,
and
his
heart
might
with
much
confidence
haue
expected
a
blessing
from
God

Doth
Gods
blessing
accompanie
his

The
people
blessed
all
the
men
that
willingly
offered
themselues
to
dwell
at
Ierusalem
.
That
was
somewhat
that
the
people
blessed
them
.
But
what
is
the
peoples
blessing
to
Gods
blessing
?
God
will
blesse
them
that
willingly
,
and
desirously
dwell
at
Ierusalem
,
where
himselfe
dwelt
betweene
the
Cherubins
.
When
David
heard
of
a
blessing
vpon
Obed
Edom
for
the
Arke
,
see
what
hee
did
,
2
Sam
.
6.
12.
So
David
went
and
brought
vp
the
Arke
of
God
from
the
house
of
Obed
Edom
,
into
the
Citie
of
David
with
gladnesse
.
David
would
fetch
a
blessing
into
his
Citie
,
by
fetching
the
Ark
thither
.
When
therefore
wee
heare
of
Gods
blessing
to
goe
with
the
Arke
,
with
all
gladnesse
seeke
to
get
and
set
the
Arke
amongst
vs
,
and
follow
it
as
the
Israelites
did
in
their
iourneyes
,
whither
soever
it
went
.
Surely
they
that
liue
from
vnder
Gods
Ordinances
,
doe
liue
without
the
verge
of
Gods
blessing
.
Outward
things
they
may
haue
,
but
blessings
they
are
not
worthy
to
be
reckoned
,
vnlesse
they
come
out
of
Sion
.
Blessings
they
may
be
counted
in
a
large
sense
,
but
they
are
but
like
Esaus
blessing
:
Gen.
27.
39
40.
In
which
there
is
neither
the
name
of
God
,
nor
the
name
of
blessing
,
wheras
in
Iacobs
ver
.
27.
28.
29.
there
is
the
name
of
both
.
They
be
poor
blessings
that
come
not
from
Gods
blessing
.
Gods
blessing
followes
the
recording
of
his
Name
,
is
annexed
to
his
Ordinance
.
Then
it
is
in
vain
to
expect
a
blessing
from
any
thing
which
hath
not
first
the
Name
of
God
recorded
vpon
it
.
No
Ordinance
,
no
blessing
.
He
that
shall
obserue
the
learning
,
the
austere
regularity
of
the
Pharisies
in
our
Saviours
time
,
may
wonder
that
that
order
did
no
more
good
among
the
people
.
A
strict
Sect
,
full
of
seeming
devotion
,
and
holines
,
and
a
Sect
both
potent
and
diligent
in
seeking
to
make
Proselytes
,
and
yet
brought
no
man
to
God
,
or
true
holinesse
indeede
.
What
might
the
reason
be
?
The
order
and
rule
of
Pharisaisme
was
none
of
Gods
making
,
and
therefore
had
none
of
Gods
blessing
.
It
had
not
Gods
Name
recorded
in
it
,
and
therefore
not
Gods
blessing
with
it
.
Who
would
not
haue
expected
that
all
trayned
vp
in
the
strict
and
devout
schoole
of
the
Pharisies
should
haue
prooved
generations
of
Angels
,
rare
and
worthy
instruments
in
the
Church
of
God
,
to
haue
done
speciall
and
excellent
service
,
and
yet
both
Iohn
and
our
Saviour
call
them
generations
of
vipers
.
Where
Gods
Ordinance
is
not
,
there
is
a
curse
,
and
his
curse
brings
forth
vipers
in
stead
of
Angels
.
So
is
it
with
all
the
fictitious
religions
of
Popish
religious
orders
,
of
Dominicans
,
Franciscans
,
Iesuits
,
and
the
rest
of
that
rabble
.
They
haue
not
the
Name
of
God
,
but
of
Dominicke
,
and
Francis
,
recorded
in
them
,
and
therefore
notwithstanding
all
their
strictnesse
,
severity
,
regularity
,
and
pretended
holinesse
,
they
are
but
generations
of
Locusts
,
Apoc-
9
.
10.
The
Iesuites
indeed
haue
the
Name
of
Iesus
called
vpon
their
order
.
But
by
whose
institution
?
By
what
authority
did
Ignatius
record
the
Name
of
Iesus
vpon
a
fictitious
order
of
his
owne
devising
.
An
order
like
the
moneth
wherein
was
Ieroboam
feast
,
The
month
which
he
had
devised
of
his
owne
heart
.
1
Kin
.
12.
33.
They
haue
the
institution
,
and
so
the
blessing
of
Ignatius
:
a
Souldier
was
their
founder
,
and
their
courses
and
practises
haue
beene
sutable
.
Since
they
are
not
of
Gods
Ordinance
,
they
must
needs
want
Gods
blessing
.
It
belongs
to
the
same
hand
to
ordaine
and
blesse
,
therefore
no
blessing
in
the
vse
of
humane
Ordinances
not
warranted
by
Gods
Word
,
because
Gods
blessiing
onely
followes
his
owne
Ordinance
.
It
is
with
Ordinances
as
it
is
with
creatures
,
Mules
are
barren
,
and
doe
not
increase
and
and
multiply
:
What
may
the
reason
bee
?
Because
their
vnnaturall
generation
,
was
not
from
God
,
but
of
Anah
his
invention
;
by
the
copulation
of
Horses
and
Asses
,
Gen.
36.
24.
And
Gods
blessing
of
increase
and
multiplication
is
onely
vpon
workes
of
his
owne
hands
,
and
creatures
generated
according
to
his
owne
order
,
Gen.
1.
22.
26.
In
like
manner
it
is
with
Ordinances
for
the
worship
of
God
.
If
they
want
Gods
making
,
they
shall
also
want
Gods
blessing
.
Doth
Gods
blessing
accompany
his
Ordinance
?
Then
rest
wee
not
contented
with
the
bare
presence
,
and
enioyment
of
his
Ordinances
;
but
labour
with
his
Ordinances
to
get
his
blessing
.
This
is
the
maine
,
and
the
end
of
his
ordinances
,
and
better
never
haue
his
Ordinances
,
then
not
withall
to
haue
his
blessing
.
It
is
a
curse
to
haue
the
Ordinances
without
the
blessing
.
Bethsaida
and
Corazin
had
Gods
Ordinances
,
and
Capernaum
had
them
in
so
eminent
a
measure
in
regard
of
Christs
personall
Ministery
,
and
often
residence
there
,
that
shee
was
even
lifted
vp
to
heaven
in
regard
of
these
priviledges
.
But
what
were
those
in
those
places
that
got
not
the
blessing
the
better
for
these
things
?
Woe
to
thee
Bethsaida
,
wo
vnto
thee
Corazin
,
Sodome
it selfe
not
so
cursed
.
A
seasonable
meditation
for
our selues
of
this
place
.
Gods
Name
is
here
recorded
amongst
vs
,
and
ye
haue
been
at
cost
in
building
,
that
yee
might
haue
Gods
Name
recorded
amongst
you
.
Your
intention
is
religious
,
and
commendable
,
but
now
take
heed
of
setting
vp
your
rest
here
.
Now
let
your
care
be
to
get
Gods
blessing
with
his
Ordinances
.
What
shall
you
be
the
better
for
your
Chappell
,
for
the
Ministery
amongst
you
,
if
you
want
the
blessing
,
if
your
soules
prosper
not
in
grace
,
and
goodnesse
,
if
you
get
not
the
blessings
of
faith
,
&
repentance
.
What
are
you
the
better
that
you
can
cry
,
The
Temple
of
the
Lord
,
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
,
and
yet
in
the
meane
time
cannot
say
,
the
blessing
of
the
Lord
,
the
blessing
of
the
Lord
.
Better
a
blessing
without
a
Temple
,
then
a
Temple
without
blessing
.
Since
therefore
yee
haue
beene
at
cost
,
and
charges
to
build
vp
an
house
for
Gods
Ordinances
,
improue
your
cost
,
let
it
be
but
so
much
put
out
to
spirituall
vsury
,
get
the
advantage
,
and
returne
of
a
blessing
.
In
any
case
beware
that
the
imputation
of
foolish
builders
lie
not
vpon
you
.
It
is
a
byting
mocke

This
man
began
to
build
,
and
was
not
able
to
finish
.
Let
it
never
therefore
be
said
of
you
,
These
men
began
to
build
,
they
built
the
outside
,
but
neglected
the
inside
,
they
built
a
Chappell
,
but
built
not
vp
themselues
.
Labour
therfore
vnder
the
Ministery
to
be
built
vp
in
grace
,
knowledge
,
to
bee
built
vp
in
your
most
holy
faith
,
in
the
power
of
godlinesse
,
and
religion
.
This
is
the
blessing
.
If
yee
had
not
beene
able
to
haue
brought
this
worke
about
,
and
yee
had
beene
so
to
seeke
for
good
benefactors
,
as
that
yee
had
beene
forced
to
haue
left
it
in
the
suddes
(
as
the
hopes
and
desires
of
too
many
were
,
and
of
those
who
seemed
to
be
somewhat
,
as
Paul
speaks
,
Gal.
2.
)
What
a
ridiculous
mocking-stocke
had
yee
beene
to
the
whole
Countrey
round
about
?
Not
one
traveller
would
haue
past
your
road
,
but
would
haue
bestowed
some
gibe
or
flout
vpon
you
.
Now
therefore
that
yee
haue
gone
thus
farre
,
if
yet
here
ye
cease
,
and
sit
you
downe
,
and
now
labour
not
for
the
blessing
,
it
wil
proue
a
matter
of
far
greater
disgrace
and
reproach
,
then
the
other
would
haue
done
,
and
you
will
another
day
make
your selues
gazing-stocks
to
men
and
Angels
,
that
you
were
at
all
this
cost
for
nothing
,
yea
to
adde
to
your
owne
smart
and
sorrow
.
It
is
a
great
worke
which
is
already
done
,
but
yet
the
one
halfe
,
yea
the
farre
greater
halfe
is
behinde
:
go
thorow
stich
with
it
,
your
wals
are
vp
,
now
vp
with
your selues
.
Wherefore
doe
yee
spend
your
money
and
not
for
bread
?
sayes
the
Prophet
Esay
,
55.
2.
So
here
,
wherefore
doe
you
spend
your
money
,
and
not
for
a
blessing
?
To
what
purpose
is
all
this
waste
?
why
haue
yee
cast
away
so
much
silver
?
It
had
beene
better
for
you
to
haue
kept
your
money
in
your
purses
,
then
to
goe
and
lay
it
out
,
and
then
Esau-like
,
to
go
without
the
blessing
.
Since
therefore
ye
haue
been
at
this
cost
,
get
somewhat
for
your
money
.
Ye
haue
done
a
good
deed
,
labour
now
as
the
Apostle
speakes
,
to
be
blessed
in
your
deed

If
now
you
shall
get
grace

,
holines
,
then
blessed
are
you
in
your
deed
.
If
not
it
had
beene

for

,
that
never
bricke
had
been

and
yee

one

the

,
for
now
saith
hee
,
the
Lord
hath
made
roome
for
vs
,
and
wee
shall
be
fruitfull
in
the
Land
.
So
the
Lord
here
hath
made
vs
a
Rehoboth
,
hee
hath
made
roome
for
vs
,
who
before
in
that
former
place
of
so
small
capacity
,
and
receipt
,
were
so
exceedingly
strayted
.
Now
if
we
can
say
that
in
a
spirituall
sense
which
followes
,
And
we
shall
be
fruitfull
in
the
Land
,
then
shall
wee
be
blessed
in
our
Rehoboth
.
Let
vs
not
rest
in
it
that
we
haue
a
Rehoboth
,
nor
yet
in
this
that
we
haue
Gods
Name
recorded
in
our
Rehoboth
:
but
let
our
care
now
bee
to
be
fruitfull
vnder
the
meanes
of
grace
,
and
in
the
vse
of
Gods
Ordinances
,
To
be
fruitfull
in
every
good
worke
,
Col.

and
then
we
haue
the
blessing
:
fruitfulnesse
is
a
speciall
blessing
of
God
.
When
David
saw
the
marvailous
willingnesse
of
the
people
in
offering
towards
the
building
of
the
Temple
,
he
both
blesses
God
,
and
blesses
the
people
.
And
what
blessing
bestowes
he
vpon
the
people
?
O
Lord
keepe
this
for
ever
in
the
imagination
of
the
thoughts
of
the
heart
of
thy
people
,
and
prepare
their
heart
vnto
thee
.
1
Chron
.

As
if
hee
had
said
,
I
reioyce
to
see
this
people
so
forward
to
so
good
a
worke
:
as
they
haue
beene
ready
to
giue
to
thee
,
so
now
I
pray
thee
returne
them
a
blessing
,
even
giue
them
good
hearts
.
So
now
that
yee
haue
bestowed
this
cost
vpon
the
place
of
Gods
worship
,
all
I
wish
you
,
and
the
best
I
can
wish
you
,
is
that
God
would
prepare
your
hearts
vnto
him
,
that
having
honest
and
good
hearts
to
Gods
ordinances
,
you
may
like
the
good
ground
bring
forth
fruit
,
and
so
with
Gods
Name
haue
Gods
blessing
.
So
much
for
the
promise
.
The
extent
and
latitude
of
it
followes
.
God
hath
promised
heere
goodly
things
,
but
where
,
and
in
what
places
will
God
thus
come
,
and
come
with
his
blessing
?
In
all
places
where
I
record
my
Name
.
As
God
is
no
respecter
of
persons
,
so
no
respecter
of
places
,
but
in
all
places
where
his
Name
is
,
his
presence
and
his
blessing
is
.
1
Tim
.

In
every
place
.
God
thinkes
no
place
to
meane
for
his
Chamber
of
presence
,
but
if
his
Name
be
there
,
hee
will
bee
there
also
.
In
all
places
,
at
an
Altar
of
earth
as
well
as
any
other
place
,
in
the
Countrey
as
well
as
in
the
Citie
,
in
Shiloh
as
well
as
in
Ierusalem
,
in
the
Wildernesse
as
well
as
in
Canaan
,
in
Chappels
as
well
as
churches
.
If
his
ordinances
bee
there
,
thither
will
hee
come
.
I
wonder
then
why
many
men
should
thinke
the
places
of
publike
Assemblings
too
meane
for
their
greatnesse
.
They
think
themselues
too
great
to
honour
vulgar
Assemblies
with
their
presence
.
Behold
a
greater
then
Salomon
,
and
therefore
a
better
then
themselues
is
here
.
God
will
come
,
and
God
doth
come
,
how
meane
soever
the
place
and
Company
be
:
Why
should
any
then
thinke
their
greatnesse
disparaged
by
comming
where
God
himselfe
comes
.
I
question
no
mans
priviledges
,
I
envie
no
man
his
conveniences
,
onely
I
blame
such
pride
as
casts
a
contempt
vpon
Assemblies
of
the
meaner
ranke
.
Iohn
was
not
worthie
to
loose
Christs
shooe
latchet
,
and
yet
Christ
thinkes
him
worthie
the
honour
to
lay
his
hands
vpon
his
head
in
Baptisme
,
and
does
him
the
honour
of
comming
in
person
to
the
place
where
Iohn
baptized
,
Then
came
Iesus
from
Galilee
to
Iordan
vnto
Iohn
;
to
be
baptized
of
him
.
Mat
.
3.
13.
Not
then
sent
Iesus
to
Iohn
,
to
come
from
Iordan
to
Galilee
to
come
to
him
.
Such
was
the
honor
that
Christ
would
doe
Gods
Ministers
,
Gods
Ordinances
,
and
the
Assemblies
of
his
Saints
.
And
is
it
true
indeed
that
God
is
no
respecter
of
places
,
but
if
his
Name
be
recorded
in
any
place
then
hee
is
there
!
Now
what
an
incouragement
is
this
to
frequent
all
places
of
Gods
worship
,
and
where
his
Ordinances
are
,
let
this
one
thing
beare
downe
all
obiections
whatsoever
before
it
.
A
little
paines
,
a
little
losse
of
time
for
the
world
,
will
be
abundantly
recompenced
in
this
so
great
benefite
of
Gods
presence
,
and
his
blessing
.
I
know
many
would
willingly
be
present
at
any
holy
service
,
and
publike
religious
duety
,
but
that
the
place
in
their
iudgement
is
not
so
convenient
:
were
it
that
it
were
in
some
other
more
convenient
place
,
they
would
not
bee
wanting
in
any
good
dutie
,
but
onely
the
place
is
not
thought
so
convenient
,
and
therefore
they
thinke
it
not
so
fitte
to
come
to
such
a
place
.
But
where
other
necessities
,
and
inconveniences
giue
leaue
&
liberty
,
what
pitie
it
is
so
small
a
thing
should
absent
any
from
the
Word
of
grace
,
that
is
able
to
saue
our
soules
!
I
impose
a
necessity
vpon
no
man
in
a
free-will-offering
,
I
call
no
man
from
the
necessary
affaires
of
his
calling
,
but
so
be
it
it
be
not
done
with
purposed
neglect
,
nor
intended
contempt
of
holy
voluntary
services
,
giue
vnto
your
callings
that
which
is
your
callings
.
But
when
a
mans
calling
and
condition
giues
him
leaue
and
liberty
to
giue
vnto
God
that
which
is
Gods
,
and
hee
hath
no
other
cause
of
absence
from
such
duties
,
but
a
disaffecting
of
the
place
,
I
conceiue
this
too
weake
a
cord
to
hold
in
any
,
the
least
strength
of
good
affections
.
This
present
point
will
breake
this
cord
,
as
Samson
did
his
,
as
it
were
a
raw
threed
.
Let
the
place
be
what
,
or
where
it
will
be
,
the
question
is
,
whether
Gods
Name
be
there
or
no
?
Are
his
Ordinances
there
?
yes
,
that
will
not
be
denyed
:
well
,
if
Gods
Name
be
there
,
my
Text
tels
vs
,
that
God
he
will
come
,
In
all
places
where
my
Name
is
recorded
I
will
come
.
And
shall
I
refuse
to
come
where
God
comes
?
God
forbid
.
Specially
his
blessing
comming
where
he
comes
.
It
is
good
comming
where
God
and
his
blessing
come
.
Why
then
should
any
disconceit
of
place
barre
me
from
comming
?
So
I
may
meet
God
and
his
blessing
,
I
would
come
to
any
place
,
so
Gods
blessing
may
light
vpon
me
,
I
care
not
in
what
place
it
be
.
But
the
Iewes
tell
the
Samaritans
,
that
Ierusalem
is
the
place
where
men
ought
to
worship
,
Iohn

But
whatsoever
they
say
,
marke
what
Christ
sayes
,
Woman
I
say
vnto
thee
,
neither
in
this
Mountaine
,
nor
in
Ierusalem
.
But
where
then
?
Saint
Paul
tels
vs
,
1
Tim
.

〈◇〉
,
in
every
place
.
It
is
sufficient
to
the
Eagles
that
there
be
a
carcasse
in
any
place
,
For
wheresoever
the
carcasse
is
,
thither
will
the
Eagles
resort
.
Let
them
haue
a
carcasse
,
and
they
stand
not
much
vpon
the
place
.
And
the
hundred
and
forty
foure
thousand
which
were
redeemed
from
the
earth
,
follow
the
Lambe
whither
soever
hee
goes
.
Apoc
.

And
therefore
if
Gods
Name
bee
recorded
in
Samaria
,
Ierusalem
hath
no
more
priviledge
for
Gods
presence
,
and
blessing
then
Samaria
hath
.
I
finde
none
to
take
offence
at
Pauls
preaching
place
,
Act.
28.

31.
It
was
but
a
meane
place
,
yet
as
long
as
Paul
preached
the
kingdome
of
God
,
and
those
things
which
concerned
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
they
tooke
no
such
offence
at
the
place
,
as
to
lose
the
good
that
might
be
had
in
that
place
.
It
is
a
good
note
of
Father
Latimers
vpon
Christs
preaching
out
of
Simons
boate
,
or
ship
.
It
In
his
sixt
Sermon
before
King
Edward
.
was
a
goodly
Pulpit
sayes
hee
,
that
Christ
had
gotten
him
here
,
an
old
rotten
boate
,
and
yet
hee
preacht
his
Fathers
will
out
of
this
Pulpit
.
He
cared
not
for
the
Pulpit
,
so
hee
might
doe
the
people
good
.
So
,
looke
wee
not
at
the
place
what
it
is
,
or
where
it
is
,
but
so
we
may
doe
our
soules
good
,
let
vs
goe
to
any
place
.
Let
vs
make
the
Lord
himselfe
the
Iudge
in
this
case
.

Vnto
the
place
which
the
Lord
your
God
shall
chuse
to
put
his
Name
there
,
even
vnto
his
habitation
shall
yee
seeke
,
and
thither
thou
shalt
come
.
As
if
he
had
said
,
where
my
Name
is
I
will
come
,
and
whither
I
come
,
thither
shalt
thou
come
.
Christ
comes
to
vs
leaping
over
hills
and
mountaines
.

Hee
cannot
take
it
well
at
our
hands
if
our
zeale
shall
stick
at
such
petty
hillocks
as
these
,
if
it
cannot
leape
over
such
mole-hils
as
these
to
come
to
him
,
and
to
his
blessing
.
So
the
Gospell
were
preacht
,
whatsoever
their
grounds
were
that
preacht
it
,
yet
Paul
reioyced
therein
,
yea
,
and
would
reioyce
.

So
let
it
be
with
vs
,
so
wee
may
haue
the
Gospell
preacht
in
what
places
soever
it
bee
,
whether
in
Churches
,
or
Chappels
,
yet
let
vs
reioyce
therein
,
especially
when
in
both
places
,
both
Churches
and
Chappels
.
Thankefully
acknowledge
we
Gods
mercy
,
and
improue
all
opportunities
to
advance
our
soules
in
the
wayes
of
heaven
.
The
Lord
make
vs
wise
to
come
where
he
comes
,
whilest
we
may
come
.
The
time
may
come
when
we
would
be
glad
to
haue
the
Gospell
in
any
place
,
and
may
wander
as
they
from
Sea
to
Sea
,
so
wee
from
Church
to
Chappell
,
and
from
Chappell
to
Church
,
and
yet
meet
neither
with
God
nor
his
blessing
,
in
either
.
Wheresoever
therefore
God
records
his
Name
,
let
vs
be
found
there
,
and
so
shall
we
finde
God
and
his
blessing
.
Let
vs
so
distaste
no
place
,
as
to
misse
the
blessing
,
for
not
in
some
places
,
not
in
speciall
,
eminent
,
and
choyce
places
,
but
,
in
all
places
where
I
record
my
Name
,
I
will
come
vnto
thee
,
and
I
will
blesse
thee
.
