whatsoever_o and_o this_o be_v the_o resolution_n of_o a_o very_a eminent_a bishop_n of_o our_o church_n in_o the_o case_n of_o one_o of_o a_o considerable_a figure_n among_o they_o after_o he_o have_v write_v his_o book_n de_fw-fr veritate_fw-la you_o be_v the_o steward_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n so_o that_o you_o can_v with_o fidelity_n to_o your_o great_a master_n dispense_v the_o

they_o down_o with_o their_o own_o hand_n so_o that_o you_o see_v the_o very_a repentance_n of_o those_o who_o shall_v turn_v many_o to_o unrighteousness_n be_v a_o hard_a and_o fearful_a discipline_n and_o what_o then_o how_o much_o beyond_o the_o common_a measure_n will_v the_o punishment_n of_o those_o among_o they_o be_v who_o shall_v remain_v impenitent_a and_o indeed_o it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o case_n will_v be_v vast_o different_a betwixt_o those_o who_o have_v only_o in_o their_o own_o person_n transgress_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o such_o who_o make_v a_o party_n and_o fight_v the_o devil_n battle_n against_o he_o these_o man_n must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v first_o at_o perfect_a enmity_n with_o he_o and_o their_o whole_a nature_n must_v be_v envenom_a against_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v expect_v but_o that_o the_o fury_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o the_o very_a dregs_o of_o his_o anger_n will_v be_v pour_v out_o against_o such_o and_o now_o if_o of_o all_o other_o sinner_n those_o will_v be_v the_o most_o exquisite_o punish_v who_o shall_v any_o way_n corrupt_a and_o deprave_v the_o principle_n and_o manner_n of_o mankind_n then_o by_o parity_n of_o reason_n of_o all_o the_o righteous_a servant_n of_o god_n those_o will_v be_v exalt_v to_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o glory_n who_o shall_v be_v most_o industrious_a in_o the_o instruction_n and_o conversion_n of_o man_n or_o shall_v lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o christian_a knowledge_n or_o contribute_v towards_o the_o promote_a of_o it_o for_o this_o we_o need_v no_o other_o testimony_n than_o that_o remarkable_a place_n of_o st._n james_n v._n 20._o know_v that_o he_o which_o convert_v a_o sinner_n from_o the_o error_n of_o his_o way_n shall_v save_v a_o soul_n from_o death_n and_o shall_v cover_v a_o multitude_n of_o sin_n these_o word_n speak_v such_o a_o regard_n to_o the_o charitable_a endeavour_n of_o those_o who_o do_v any_o way_n promote_v or_o do_v labour_n in_o the_o instruction_n and_o conversion_n of_o sinner_n that_o through_o the_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o only_o it_o be_v that_o god_n become_v propitious_a to_o our_o best_a performance_n this_o kind_n of_o charity_n will_v be_v have_v in_o no_o mean_a consideration_n when_o god_n shall_v take_v cognizance_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o failures_n and_o if_o the_o convert_v of_o one_o sinner_n shall_v be_v so_o consider_v what_o glory_n will_v await_v those_o who_o turn_v many_o to_o righteousness_n i_o can_v possible_o

and_o proportionable_o as_o the_o assistance_n give_v to_o turn_v many_o to_o righteousness_n shall_v be_v most_o extensive_a and_o last_a in_o the_o same_o measure_n we_o must_v suppose_v the_o degree_n of_o glory_n will_v be_v allot_v to_o such_o piety_n and_o therefore_o since_o next_o to_o what_o the_o apostle_n do_v by_o their_o personal_a labour_n and_o inspire_v write_n to_o convert_v mankind_n to_o god_n scarce_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v think_v of_o a_o more_o direct_a and_o immediate_a tendency_n to_o the_o same_o glorious_a and_o bless_a end_n than_o to_o lay_v up_o those_o magazine_n of_o christian_a knowledge_n on_o the_o confine_n of_o satan_n kingdom_n out_o of_o which_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n word_n may_v be_v constant_o supply_v both_o with_o the_o food_n of_o soul_n and_o with_o that_o spiritual_a armour_n wherewith_o they_o may_v carry_v on_o the_o war_n with_o success_n so_o as_o at_o length_n to_o drive_v that_o arch-rebel_n out_o of_o those_o vast_a territory_n he_o now_o possess_v it_o will_v therefore_o follow_v that_o those_o pious_a person_n will_v most_o effectual_o consult_v their_o future_a happiness_n and_o provide_v best_a for_o a_o exalt_v glory_n who_o shall_v expend_v most_o in_o fix_v library_n of_o necessary_a and_o useful_a book_n in_o divinity_n in_o order_n to_o the_o instruction_n both_o of_o minister_n and_o people_n such_o indeed_o can_v be_v say_v by_o so_o do_v to_o hazard_v their_o person_n in_o the_o convert_v of_o mankind_n and_o so_o may_v not_o be_v entitle_v thereby_o to_o the_o reward_n of_o martyr_n
