VVhereunto is added good newes from heaven; to the worst of sinners on earth. The former in nine sermons on 1 Cor. 10. 23. All things are lawfull for me, but all things are not expeaient.

violent_a though_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o devour_v one_o another_o and_o ready_a to_o set_v the_o kingdom_n &_o nation_n on_o fire_n and_o say_v we_o will_v have_v our_o way_n and_o you_o shall_v not_o have_v you_o yet_o mark_v it_o they_o both_o agree_v in_o this_o all_o these_o contention_n they_o come_v from_o the_o same_o principle_n i_o speak_v not_o of_o every_o particular_a man_n but_o of_o the_o generality_n of_o both_o way_n it_o come_v from_o a_o old_a testament_n spirit_n in_o the_o one_o and_o in_o the_o other_o and_o though_o they_o be_v contrary_a as_o light_v and_o darkness_n point_v blank_a enemy_n yet_o as_o i_o have_v sometime_o see_v two_o river_n run_v contrary_a way_n that_o have_v spring_v from_o the_o same_o head_n and_o hill_n so_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o of_o the_o great_a controversy_n at_o this_o time_n it_o come_v from_o a_o old_a testament_n spirit_n in_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o other_o what_o be_v a_o old_a testament_n spirit_n i_o speak_v not_o to_o make_v the_o breach_n wide_o what_o old_a testament_n spirit_n what_o but_o desire_v that_o it_o may_v be_v heal_v therefore_o i_o say_v that_o you_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o it_o &_o take_v heed_n of_o it_o a_o old_a testament_n spirit_n be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v in_o both_o a_o disposition_n to_o make_v a_o curious_a external_a piece_n of_o government_n as_o curious_a nay_o say_v they_o why_o not_o more_o curious_a than_o moses_n make_v in_o the_o old_a i_o say_v in_o external_a thing_n and_o out_o of_o this_o principle_n every_o one_o will_v have_v his_o brat_n and_o strain_n and_o squeeze_v the_o scripture_n one_o this_o way_n and_o another_o that_o and_o make_v fine_a piece_n that_o will_v never_o stand_v only_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o the_o one_o side_n that_o in_o this_o be_v the_o honest_a of_o the_o two_o they_o endlesse_o make_v law_n and_o tie_n for_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o the_o other_o party_n they_o make_v law_n and_o tie_n upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o other_o the_o one_o party_n be_v always_o scrupulous_a themselves_o 1._o such_o as_o make_v law_n to_o tie_v themselves_o and_o why_o shall_v not_o the_o lord_n be_v more_o honourable_a than_o the_o servant_n and_o moses_n that_o be_v a_o servant_n be_v faithful_a in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o he_o make_v a_o curious_a piece_n even_o to_o a_o snuff_n to_o aloope_v to_o a_o eyelet_n hole_n and_o there_o must_v certain_o be_v a_o curious_a piece_n if_o we_o can_v see_v it_o not_o know_v that_o god_n purpose_n be_v to_o make_v his_o worship_n glorious_a in_o spirituall_n and_o so_o they_o go_v on_o a_o long_a and_o search_v the_o scripture_n to_o every_o jot_n and_o tittle_n &_o squeeze_v blood_n out_o of_o it_o and_o so_o tie_v knot_n and_o will_v not_o stoop_v a_o ace_n to_o their_o brother_n for_o a_o kingdom_n thus_o they_o bind_v themselves_o as_o the_o silkworm_n or_o the_o spider_n with_o their_o own_o web_n and_o when_o they_o have_v make_v law_n they_o lay_v such_o a_o stress_n on_o they_o that_o if_o they_o miss_v in_o a_o nick_n they_o conclude_v there_o be_v no_o church_n nor_o no_o commonwealth_n etc._n etc._n i_o can_v give_v divers_a instance_n as_o in_o that_o of_o dip_v over_o head_n and_o ear_n because_o the_o word_n bapto_fw-la signify_v over_o head_n and_o ear_n sometime_o and_o because_o the_o preposition_n they_o signify_v to_o go_v into_o from_o that_o they_o bind_v all_o the_o saint_n all_o the_o world_n over_o to_o go_v into_o river_n so_o that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o dip_v but_o only_o sprinkle_v because_o of_o the_o preposition_n they_o that_o make_v a_o nullity_n of_o the_o church_n that_o it_o be_v no_o church_n and_o so_o consequent_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o church_n at_o all_o so_o from_o preposition_n and_o particle_n they_o make_v rule_n that_o christ_n have_v not_o tie_v they_o to_o i_o speak_v not_o to_o disparage_v the_o least_o tittle_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v before_o one_o jot_n or_o tittle_n of_o it_o shall_v pass_v but_o take_v this_o too_o it_o be_v

that_o every_o thing_n there_o must_v bind_v all_o the_o saint_n in_o all_o the_o world_n that_o be_v a_o mistake_n the_o other_o sort_n of_o people_n have_v the_o same_o principle_n also_o other_o 2._o such_o as_o make_v law_n to_o bind_v other_o they_o will_v have_v a_o curious_a external_a piece_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o scrupulous_a to_o themselves_o for_o many_o of_o they_o walk_v large_a &_o broad_a enough_o but_o their_o finger_n itch_n to_o make_v law_n and_o tie_n to_o bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o other_o and_o so_o they_o look_v upon_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o see_v that_o a_o complete_a piece_n how_o the_o passeover_n be_v prescribe_v how_o they_o must_v take_v the_o lamb_n and_o at_o what_o

curious_a piece_n and_o they_o look_v on_o the_o new_a testament_n though_o they_o speak_v not_o so_o as_o if_o christ_n have_v leave_v it_o very_o dark_a and_o short_a and_o brief_a and_o indeed_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n if_o the_o design_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v to_o make_v a_o curious_a external_a piece_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o under_o the_o old_a they_o do_v think_v right_a no_o man_n can_v disprove_v they_o but_o christ_n of_o purpose_n leave_v thing_n brief_a as_o i_o show_v before_o how_o moderate_o and_o spair_o and_o covert_o the_o lord_n mention_n ordinance_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n now_o they_o conclude_v that_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n must_v be_v more_o glorious_a than_o in_o the_o old_a and_o in_o outward_a thing_n there_o upon_o they_o make_v canon_n and_o eke_v it_o out_o and_o in_o so_o do_v they_o make_v such_o tie_n upon_o indifferent_a thing_n and_o thing_n that_o christ_n have_v not_o determine_v to_o the_o saint_n that_o though_o the_o thing_n be_v otherwise_o good_a in_o themselves_o yet_o they_o have_v this_o evil_a one_o of_o the_o great_a in_o any_o church_n in_o the_o world_n they_o bring_v the_o glorious_a son_n of_o zion_n under_o the_o new-testament_n back_o again_o to_o the_o old_a so_o it_o have_v be_v always_o from_o the_o beginning_n practice_n pope_n practice_n for_o we_o see_v the_o pope_n heretofore_o they_o always_o look_v on_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o a_o lame_a thing_n short_a and_o dark_a therefore_o they_o make_v canon_n upon_o canon_n and_o article_n upon_o article_n every_o pope_n make_v canon_n and_o law_n and_o decretall_n till_o they_o be_v endless_a to_o determine_v thing_n that_o be_v undetermined_a that_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o their_o ripe_a age_n all_o a_o long_a a_o old_a testament_n spirit_n that_o they_o may_v make_v a_o curious_a outward_a piece_n and_o so_o the_o bishop_n practice_n bishop_n practice_n they_o look_v on_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o dark_a and_o lame_a and_o they_o will_v take_v it_o and_o digest_v it_o into_o a_o method_n and_o make_v other_o book_n instead_o of_o a_o new_a testament_n that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o protestant_n and_o never_o see_v the_o bible_n and_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o good_a catholic_a and_o never_o see_v the_o bible_n so_o they_o make_v the_o thirtie-nine_a article_n and_o decree_n and_o canon_n to_o eke_v out_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o minister_n must_v say_v this_o with_o a_o loud_a voice_n and_o that_o with_o a_o

with_o it_o there_o will_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n void_a for_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o every_o example_n no_o not_o every_o precept_n do_v not_o make_v a_o absolute_a rule_n to_o bind_v the_o saint_n so_o it_o seem_v there_o will_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n void_a and_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v with_o it_o to_o answer_v that_o brief_o i_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o this_o bless_a book_n that_o be_v unprofitable_a answ_n 1_o use_n nothing_o in_o the_o scripture_n but_o be_v of_o use_n but_o i_o deny_v this_o also_o that_o every_o thing_n in_o the_o new-testament_n be_v
