when_o michael_n the_o archangel_n strive_v against_o the_o devil_n and_o dispute_v about_o the_o body_n of_o moses_n dare_v not_o blame_v he_o with_o curse_a speak_v or_o give_v he_o any_o rail_a

disposition_n which_o i_o have_v observe_v in_o many_o who_o be_v call_v by_o that_o name_n in_o utter_v such_o bitter_a word_n against_o gross_a offender_n and_o much_o more_o if_o they_o write_v or_o print_v book_n in_o that_o nature_n to_o tell_v you_o true_o i_o like_v not_o such_o satirical_a spirit_n citt._n why_o but_o sir_n by_o your_o favour_n i_o conceive_v that_o such_o book_n do_v much_o good_a for_o first_o thereby_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o such_o as_o have_v offend_v may_v come_v to_o see_v their_o offence_n thereby_o and_o so_o be_v bring_v to_o shame_n and_o afterward_o to_o repentance_n and_o then_o second_o hereby_o it_o be_v make_v apparent_a to_o the_o world_n what_o they_o be_v and_o so_o they_o come_v to_o be_v detest_v and_o at_o last_o cut_v off_o from_o trouble_v this_o our_o israel_n as_o one_o be_v and_o i_o hope_v more_o will_v follow_v gent._n sir_n i_o pray_v you_o conceive_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o matter_n of_o such_o book_n that_o i_o do_v simple_o condemn_v but_o the_o manner_n or_o stile_n of_o they_o for_o i_o conceive_v if_o such_o matter_n as_o be_v in_o some_o of_o they_o be_v compose_v after_o a_o sober_a pitiful_a and_o christian-like_a manner_n without_o tart_a or_o bitter_a speech_n than_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o work_v shame_n and_o repentance_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o offender_n let_v the_o sin_n be_v shame_v rather_o than_o the_o sinner_n the_o particular_n offensive_a than_o the_o person_n offend_v say_v a_o godly_a man_n but_o this_o tart_a manner_n spoil_v all_o for_o first_o it_o make_v the_o offender_n conceive_v that_o the_o author_n and_o approver_n of_o they_o do_v hate_v their_o person_n and_o so_o speak_v out_o of_o malice_n or_o desire_v of_o revenge_n and_o so_o by_o that_o mean_v they_o do_v but_o exasperate_v they_o or_o harden_v they_o and_o rather_o keep_v they_o from_o repentance_n then_o bring_v they_o unto_o it_o and_o beside_o without_o god_n prevent_v grace_n they_o will_v occasion_v the_o reader_n or_o hearer_n of_o they_o either_o to_o hate_v their_o person_n or_o jeer_v they_o or_o both_o it_o be_v a_o most_o intemperate_a zeal_n field_n zeal_n m._n by_o field_n say_v a_o godly_a divine_a that_o spend_v itself_o in_o the_o vain_a and_o bootless_a censure_n of_o the_o estate_n of_o those_o that_o be_v without_o those_o censure_n have_v in_o they_o much_o of_o provocation_n and_o nothing_o of_o edification_n it_o be_v happy_a for_o some_o christian_n if_o they_o can_v with_o the_o apotle_n say_v often_o to_o their_o own_o soul_n 13._o 1_o cor._n 5.12_o 13._o what_o have_v i_o to_o do_v to_o judge_v they_o that_o be_v without_o citt._n well_o sir_n one_o thing_n i_o can_v assure_v you_o of_o upon_o my_o own_o knowledge_n that_o the_o print_n and_o sell_v of_o such_o book_n have_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o help_v many_o a_o poor_a man_n in_o london_n these_o dead_a time_n of_o trade_v gent._n that_o may_v be_v indeed_o and_o yet_o the_o book_n never_o the_o more_o lawful_a or_o warrantable_a for_o that_o you_o know_v we_o must_v not_o do_v evil_a

that_o good_a may_v come_v thereof_o citt._n well_o sir_n let_v we_o leave_v off_o this_o discourse_n concern_v the_o book_n and_o let_v we_o proceed_v a_o little_a further_o in_o our_o discourse_n concern_v the_o person_n who_o be_v the_o subject_a matter_n of_o such_o book_n and_o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o how_o you_o conceive_v a_o christian_a man_n be_v to_o stand_v affect_v towards_o such_o person_n gent._n without_o question_n he_o ought_v to_o love_v their_o person_n as_o they_o be_v man_n you_o know_v who_o word_n they_o be_v mat._n 5.44_o but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o love_v your_o enemy_n citt._n indeed_o i_o grant_v if_o they_o be_v my_o private_a enemy_n i_o ought_v to_o love_v they_o yea_o and_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o be_v so_o i_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o but_o these_o man_n be_v public_a enemy_n yea_o god_n enemy_n such_o as_o oppose_v and_o hate_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o persecute_v it_o in_o the_o professor_n thereof_o yea_o they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v enemy_n to_o any_o good_a course_n and_o godly_a proceed_n gent._n though_o they_o be_v god_n enemy_n and_o public_a enemy_n yet_o for_o aught_o you_o know_v while_o they_o be_v alive_a they_o may_v be_v curable_a and_o therefore_o though_o you_o may_v hate_v their_o sin_n and_o pray_v against_o their_o device_n yet_o must_v you_o love_v their_o person_n citt._n but_o do_v not_o paul_n and_o david_n hate_v the_o person_n of_o such_o and_o pray_v against_o they_o and_o may_v not_o we_o imitate_v they_o therein_o gent._n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o paul_n pray_v against_o alexander_n the_o coppersmith_n 139.32_o 2_o tim._n 4._o psal_n 139.32_o that_o god_n will_v reward_v he_o according_a to_o his_o work_n so_o david_n say_v do_v not_o i_o hate_v they_o o_o lord_n that_o hate_v thou_o etc._n etc._n and_o so_o in_o many_o other_o psalm_n he_o pray_v for_o the_o final_a and_o utter_a destruction_n of_o his_o enemy_n which_o indeed_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o utter_a hatred_n yet_o this_o be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o only_a god_n enemy_n but_o desperate_a and_o irrecoverable_a one_o which_o they_o see_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v extraordinary_o and_o infallible_o inform_v thereof_o and_o therefore_o their_o prayer_n be_v but_o prophecy_n of_o the_o final_a destruction_n of_o these_o man_n as_o psal_n 63.9_o and_o 54._o and_o 5._o but_o for_o we_o because_o we_o have_v not_o the_o like_a measure_n or_o gift_n of_o spirit_n we_o have_v no_o such_o warrant_n either_o to_o hate_v or_o pray_v direct_o against_o any_o man_n person_n citt._n well_o sir_n i_o tell_v you_o true_o i_o do_v not_o consider_v these_o thing_n before_o now_o and_o i_o begin_v to_o fear_v my_o heart_n have_v not_o be_v so_o right_o affect_v towards_o these_o man_n who_o i_o have_v name_v as_o it_o ought_v therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o proceed_v further_o in_o this_o matter_n gent._n i_o will_v as_o the_o lord_n shall_v enable_v i_o and_o first_o as_o touch_v they_o that_o be_v yet_o live_v i_o conceive_v it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o that_o which_o do_v most_o express_a a_o christian-like_a spirit_n to_o express_v our_o love_n to_o they_o in_o be_v sorry_a yea_o and_o in_o mourning_n for_o they_o yea_o and_o the_o more_o we_o hear_v their_o fault_n discover_v the_o more_o we_o be_v to_o sorrow_n for_o they_o &_o this_o i_o be_o confident_a have_v warrant_n from_o scripture_n do_v you_o not_o remember_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o the_o corinthian_n touch_v the_o incestuous_a person_n and_o you_o be_v puff_v up_o say_v he_o 5.2_o 1_o cor_fw-la 5.2_o and_o have_v not_o rather_o sorrow_v it_o be_v a_o place_n that_o i_o have_v often_o think_v upon_o and_o to_o tell_v you_o true_o i_o have_v find_v such_o a_o disposition_n in_o my_o own_o heart_n as_o be_v in_o these_o corinthian_n and_o that_o be_v when_o i_o have_v heard-of_a other_o that_o have_v commit_v some_o gross_a offence_n i_o have_v as_o it_o be_v find_v my_o heart_n glad_a within_o i_o or_o rather_o puff_v up_o with_o pride_n because_o i_o have_v not_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o like_a transgression_n when_o as_o it_o be_v clear_a by_o the_o text_n that_o i_o shall_v rather_o have_v sorrow_v for_o they_o for_o want_v of_o which_o disposition_n the_o apostle_n blame_v the_o corinthian_n it_o be_v well_o say_v therefore_o of_o one_o in_o the_o book_n call_v the_o live_v of_o the_o father_n when_o it_o be_v tell_v he_o that_o one_o of_o his_o brethren_n be_v fall_v into_o whoredom_n he_o fall_v yesterday_o say_v he_o and_o i_o may_v fall_v to_o day_n to_o this_o purpose_n luther_n have_v a_o excellent_a say_n we_o must_v not_o say_v he_o measure_v our_o own_o holiness_n by_o other_o man_n sin_n therefore_o let_v he_o that_o stand_v take_v

shall_v commit_v hereafter_o the_o text_n say_v that_o he_o look_v upon_o he_o steadfast_o and_o weep_v now_o if_o that_o the_o prophet_n of_o god_n weep_v when_o he_o consider_v the_o evil_n which_o that_o wicked_a man_n shall_v commit_v hereafter_o ought_v not_o we_o think_v you_o to_o do_v the_o like_a when_o we_o consider_v what_o wickedness_n man_n have_v commit_v heretofore_o and_o indeed_o sir_n if_o we_o do_v well_o we_o shall_v make_v this_o good_a use_n thereof_o unto_o ourselves_o that_o be_v when_o we_o hear_v what_o transgression_n other_o have_v commit_v we_o shall_v therein_o as_o in_o a_o glass_n behold_v our_o own_o nature_n we_o be_v the_o very_a same_o by_o nature_n as_o they_o be_v and_o if_o we_o have_v the_o same_o temptation_n which_o they_o have_v and_o the_o

as_o we_o ourselves_o have_v the_o same_o murderous_a and_o traitorous_a disposition_n in_o we_o by_o nature_n to_o this_o purpose_n austin_n speak_v well_o say_v there_o be_v no_o sin_n which_o any_o
