and_o other_o this_o be_v the_o apostle_n meaning_n and_o thus_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n understand_v he_o who_o be_v content_a to_o sacrifice_v any_o thing_n but_o the_o christian_a faith_n

of_o corinth_n where_o he_o show_v that_o those_o contention_n which_o begin_v in_o st._n paul_n day_n and_o can_v not_o it_o seem_v be_v suppress_v by_o the_o apostolical_a authority_n alone_o will_v

before_o they_o for_o peace-sake_n be_v fulfil_v as_o we_o find_v in_o the_o monument_n of_o the_o church_n where_o there_o be_v example_n of_o such_o self-denial_n as_o make_v they_o desire_v to_o

make_v any_o public_a disturbance_n no_o nor_o private_a quarrel_n with_o our_o neighbour_n unto_o which_o we_o be_v now_o so_o prone_a that_o we_o fall_v out_o even_o about_o a_o trifle_a opinion_n wherein_o we_o differ_v one_o from_o another_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o we_o be_v too_o full_a of_o ourselves_o and_o too_o void_a of_o charity_n and_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n which_o if_o it_o do_v possess_v our_o heart_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o much_o wed_v as_o we_o be_v to_o our_o own_o opinion_n much_o less_o indulge_v our_o passion_n but_o resign_v they_o all_o to_o be_v rule_v and_o order_v by_o this_o grace_n which_o teach_v we_o to_o be_v of_o a_o yield_a spirit_n as_o far_o as_o piety_n will_v permit_v nay_o if_o our_o passion_n and_o our_o pride_n be_v keep_v under_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v impatient_a to_o be_v contradict_v nor_o think_v ourselves_o bind_v to_o engage_v in_o the_o defence_n of_o every_o thing_n that_o we_o judge_v to_o be_v true_a nor_o to_o

they_o do_v no_o great_a hurt_n to_o the_o world._n be_v we_o possess_v with_o this_o desire_n alone_o to_o make_v other_o better_a we_o shall_v not_o trouble_v ourselves_o about_o every_o error_n and_o mistake_n if_o the_o remedy_n will_v prove_v worse_o than_o the_o disease_n that_o be_v breed_v quarrel_n and_o break_v the_o peace_n by_o endless_a dispute_n and_o jarring_n about_o it_o our_o bless_a saviour_n himself_o the_o prince_n of_o peace_n do_v not_o undertake_v to_o free_a man_n from_o every_o error_n whatsoever_o but_o those_o only_a which_o concern_v the_o mean_n of_o their_o salvation_n and_o in_o such_o matter_n when_o we_o be_v constrain_v to_o declare_v our_o dissent_n from_o other_o who_o be_v we_o apprehend_v in_o dangerous_a error_n the_o peace_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o to_o do_v it_o in_o such_o sweet_a and_o gentle_a manner_n that_o they_o may_v see_v we_o aim_v only_o at_o their_o good_a and_o they_o may_v not_o by_o our_o rough_a treat_v they_o take_v occasion_n of_o disgust_n not_o only_o unto_o we_o but_o to_o the_o truth_n also_o which_o we_o defend_v for_o we_o oftentimes_o give_v distaste_n to_o other_o and_o make_v they_o irreconcilable_a not_o so_o much_o by_o our_o contrary_a opinion_n as_o by_o a_o fierce_a insolent_a presumptuous_a and_o disdainful_a way_n of_o propose_v our_o own_o opinion_n and_o oppose_v they_o but_o it_o be_v far_o worse_a when_o we_o come_v to_o term_n of_o contempt_n and_o reproach_n which_o be_v common_o observe_v to_o make_v such_o breach_n as_o be_v never_o to_o be_v repair_v the_o peace_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o quite_o another_o lesson_n and_o constrain_v we_o to_o compassionate_v the_o weakness_n of_o our_o brethren_n to_o treat_v they_o with_o tenderness_n as_o well_o as_o humanity_n and_o when_o they_o be_v peevish_a and_o passionate_a and_o prone_a to_o quarrel_v even_o then_o to_o bear_v with_o they_o and_o meek_o reduce_v they_o to_o a_o better_a temper_n for_o the_o weakness_n of_o our_o brethren_n make_v they_o object_n of_o our_o pity_n not_o of_o our_o anger_n and_o they_o be_v never_o more_o to_o be_v pity_v than_o when_o they_o can_v be_v cure_v by_o our_o charitable_a compassion_n and_o forbearance_n of_o they_o unto_o which_o we_o shall_v be_v the_o more_o incline_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o we_o be_v man_n also_o and_o may_v possible_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o error_n and_o commit_v the_o same_o fault_n and_o than_o what_o we_o tolerate_v in_o they_o it_o will_v be_v their_o turn_n to_o bear_v withal_o in_o we_o but_o especial_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o we_o be_v christian_n who_o lie_v under_o this_o law_n bear_v you_o one_o another_o barden_n and_o so_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n gal._n vi_o 2._o which_o law_n of_o charity_n and_o
