in_o general_a every_o one_o of_o we_o have_v a_o court_n in_o his_o own_o conscience_n wherinto_o all_o our_o thought_n word_n and_o action_n must_v be_v present_o summon_v and_o inquisition_n must_v

god_n in_o thing_n forbid_v he_o must_v as_o a_o judge_n far_o from_o partiality_n give_v sentence_n against_o himself_o and_o commit_v the_o evil_n do_v to_o true_a and_o unfeigned_a repentance_n &_o bound_v himself_o by_o the_o law_n of_o obedience_n not_o to_o sin_n again_o which_o be_v it_o perform_v of_o all_o man_n in_o particular_a there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o the_o magistrate_n sword_n to_o compel_v the_o same_o in_o general_n but_o since_o our_o corrupt_a inclination_n do_v fight_v daily_o against_o this_o godly_a course_n good_a the_o magistrate_n who_o bear_v not_o the_o sword_n for_o nought_o must_v now_o if_o ever_o he_o do_v show_v himself_o zealous_a in_o the_o lord_n cause_n for_o the_o good_a of_o all_o the_o land_n in_o general_n which_o as_o it_o seem_v much_o miss_v with_o negligence_n of_o every_o man_n particular_a duty_n to_o god_n and_o his_o sovereign_n whereby_o god_n be_v not_o honour_v of_o we_o as_o he_o ought_v nor_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n obey_v as_o they_o shall_v be_v there_o must_v be_v a_o general_a care_n in_o the_o ministry_n to_o teach_v every_o man_n his_o duty_n for_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o teach_v to_o reprove_v to_o approve_v and_o

belong_v who_o must_v compel_v they_o by_o force_n that_o will_v not_o do_v their_o duty_n in_o love_n and_o if_o than_o the_o vulgar_a and_o inferior_a sort_n strive_v not_o to_o amend_v and_o to_o

therefore_o now_o call_v your_o duty_n to_o mind_v you_o minister_n and_o speedy_o with_o diligence_n perform_v the_o same_o and_o think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o be_v call_v the_o messenger_n of_o

for_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n understand_v his_o will_n the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o wisdom_n and_o therefore_o every_o one_o from_o the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a prince_n and_o minister_n magistrate_n and_o subject_n god_n must_v here_o begin_v as_o a_o prince_n covet_v to_o govern_v prudent_o as_o minister_n endeavour_v to_o speak_v true_o and_o bold_o as_o magistrate_n desire_v to_o rule_v in_o their_o place_n righteous_o and_o courageous_o and_o as_o people_n willing_a to_o live_v obedient_o and_o religious_o so_o shall_v there_o be_v a_o most_o

to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o discern_v betwixt_o good_a and_o evil_a that_o by_o they_o sin_n the_o cause_n of_o our_o danger_n may_v be_v remove_v and_o faith_n and_o religion_n the_o
