we
find
that
the
eyes
of Chrift
were as
a
flaming fire
:
wifdome makes
a
mans face
to thine
;
And ma-
ny times
there
appears
a
great
majefty in
the
very countenance
of
a
Miniíler,aind
a
great déale of
ufe is
made
by
the Minihers
looking upon
the
i;eole,
and
the peoples
looking upon
the
Minitier
:
Therefore
becaufe
Chriíl
would have
hi3
word effe&
the more, the
text faith;
he
lifted
up
his
eyes upon his
Di
pies,
and lookt upon
them
:
And
it
hath
a
great deale
of
pow-
er
in
way
of
reprehenfion and
threatning
;
and many
times,a
guilty
con
cience
is
not
able
to
beare
the
faftening
of
the eyes
of
a
Manlier
upon
them
:
Therefore
in
./leas
i
3.9.
we
read
of
Paul,
when
as
Elimas
the Sorcerer would
have taken
off
Sergius
Poullius
that
was
the Deputy
of the
place, and would
have
hindered the
worke
of
the
miniftry upon
his
heart. Paul
was
a
preaching, and
the Deputy
began
to be furred
up,and
to
hearken
to
what
Paul
should
fay,
and
there
cornes one
Elimas
and would
have
taken off
the Deputy
;
now when
Paul
having
hopes
to
have
gain'd
fuch
a
man
that might be
a publick
inflru-
ment
in
the
place where
God
had
fet
him
:
the
text
faith, that
Paul
fet
his eyes upon
Elimas,
and fpake
to
himin
a
terrible
manner,as
if
he should
fay,0
wretch, (for
fo
he
faith,)
O
child
of the Devill,
and full
of
all
fubtilty, what
wilt
thou
Peek
to
hinder the
word upon fuch
an
eminent
man
:
ô
thou child of
the
Devill
:
There
is a
great deale
of
power fometimes in
the
eyes of
a
Mintier
of
the
word
:
---
And we find
that
when
Peter
had
denyed
Chriíl,
the
text
faith,
that Chrift
looks
upon
him,
and
then
Peter
went forth
and
wept bitterly'! there
was
much
darted
through
the
eyes
of
Jefus
Chrift,
and
there
is
much
many
times
darted
through
the
eyes
of
a
Minitier
of
Cod:
Now
then
my
Brethren,
-this is
the
clofe
of
this Sermon for
the
prefent.
I
befeech
you
while we are
preaching over this
large
Sermon
of
Jefus
Chriíl,
do
you
apprehend
that
the eyes
of
gJefus
Chrift
are upon you
all
:
why
fhould
we
not
appre-
hend
it
fo
now
as
well
as
then
;
when
hritt
fairh,he
that
hear
-
eth
you
hearer me.
It
is
the
Sermon
that
Chriíl
preached
hinafelfe,
and
as
he
lift
up
his
eyes upon
his
auditors at that
D
x
time
:
