people_n think_v that_o the_o doctrine_n be_v true_a when_o they_o that_o preach_v it_o live_v not_o thereafter_o will_v not_o the_o people_n reason_n thus_o if_o his_o doctrine_n be_v good_a sure_o he_o will_v follow_v it_o if_o his_o life_n be_v good_a sure_o he_o will_v teach_v we_o to_o live_v as_o he_o do_v therefore_o whatsoever_o he_o say_v we_o will_v not_o believe_v he_o but_o as_o he_o do_v so_o will_v we_o do_v and_o we_o hope_v to_o escape_v aswell_o as_o he_o thus_o with_o the_o one_o hand_n they_o build_v up_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o with_o the_o other_o hand_n they_o pull_v it_o down_o because_o they_o do_v more_o hurt_n by_o their_o bad_a example_n than_o they_o can_v do_v good_a with_o all_o their_o preach_n these_o be_v the_o ungodly_a that_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o prophet_n reprove_v psalm_n 50._o why_o do_v thou_o preach_v my_o law_n and_o take_v my_o word_n etc._n etc._n so_o long_o as_o esay_n be_v a_o man_n of_o pollute_a lip_n the_o office_n of_o preach_v be_v not_o commit_v unto_o he_o but_o when_o his_o lip_n be_v cleanse_v esay_n 6._o then_o be_v he_o fit_v for_o that_o office_n and_o function_n even_o so_o as_o long_o as_o we_o delight_v in_o sin_n as_o much_o as_o any_o we_o be_v not_o meet_v to_o reproove_v the_o sin_n of_o other_o but_o when_o we_o behave_v ourselves_o as_o it_o become_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n then_o have_v we_o commission_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o to_o reproove_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n therefore_o to_o a_o good_a churchman_n as_o you_o use_v to_o call_v we_o two_o thing_n be_v necessary_a the_o first_o be_v to_o teach_v well_o the_o second_o be_v to_o live_v well_o for_o as_o we_o be_v resemble_v to_o salt_n because_o we_o must_v season_v the_o people_n with_o sound_n and_o wholesome_a doctrine_n so_o be_v we_o resemble_v to_o the_o sun_n because_o we_o must_v shine_v as_o light_n in_o the_o world_n by_o our_o holy_a life_n as_o john_n baptist_n be_v the_o voice_n of_o a_o crier_n so_o he_o be_v a_o burn_a lamp_n as_o the_o apostle_n be_v will_v to_o teach_v and_o baptise_v so_o their_o light_n be_v command_v to_o shine_v that_o man_n see_v their_o good_a work_n may_v glorify_v god_n three_o we_o here_o may_v see_v that_o truth_n be_v truth_n and_o to_o be_v commend_v from_o whosoever_o it_o come_v for_o though_o this_o lawyer_n come_v to_o tempt_v christ_n yet_o because_o he_o tell_v the_o truth_n christ_n admit_v his_o answer_n and_o commend_v he_o for_o it_o whereby_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v to_o embrace_v and_o receive_v the_o truth_n by_o whosoever_o it_o be_v bring_v for_o as_o a_o jewel_n be_v to_o be_v esteem_v though_o it_o be_v find_v in_o a_o stink_a dunghill_n so_o the_o truth_n be_v to_o be_v regard_v though_o it_o be_v find_v in_o a_o wicked_a man_n and_o last_o of_o all_o we_o here_o may_v see_v that_o to_o be_v verify_v which_o be_v speak_v of_o christ_n esa._n 42._o mat._n 12_o a_o bruise_a reed_n shall_v he_o not_o

direct_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n christ_n approove_v his_o answer_n and_o exhort_v he_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o same_o whereby_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v to_o commend_v and_o

man_n have_v do_v well_o commend_v he_o and_o he_o will_v do_v better_o but_o alas_o with_o we_o it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o for_o if_o a_o man_n have_v do_v amiss_o it_o shall_v be_v often_o cast_v
