we_o cheat_n heretic_n false_a prophet_n and_o what_o not_o this_o be_v and_o have_v be_v our_o entertainment_n among_o you_o and_o be_v i_o at_o this_o day_n in_o prison_n because_o i_o can_v dare_v not_o play_v hypocrite_n and_o go_v contrary_a to_o my_o faith_n but_o you_o will_v say_v may_v be_v that_o my_o faith_n be_v not_o true_a faith_n but_o i_o believe_v a_o error_n i_o answer_v you_o can_v prove_v your_o charge_n against_o we_o from_o clear_a scripture_n which_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o give_v unto_o we_o to_o believe_v but_o also_o to_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n we_o believe_v in_o but_o it_o no_o where_o say_v it_o be_v give_v we_o also_o to_o make_v other_o suffer_v that_o do_v not_o believe_v and_o suppose_v i_o do_v want_v a_o right_a understanding_n and_o true_a faith_n i_o say_v again_o do_v you_o think_v that_o a_o prison_n will_v help_v i_o can_v a_o prison_n give_v faith_n can_v prison_n wall_n rectify_v man_n understanding_n lay_v aside_o these_o carnal_a crutch_n and_o bring_v spiritual_a weapon_n truth_n be_v sufficient_a to_o plead_v its_o own_o cause_n and_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n it_o be_v only_o base_a cain_n self_n worship_n that_o force_v he_o that_o will_v not_o worship_v the_o beast_n or_o receive_v his_o mark_n in_o his_o forehead_n or_o in_o his_o hand_n must_v be_v kill_v or_o no_o man_n must_v buy_v or_o sell_v with_o he_o at_o least_o so_o error_n and_o enmity_n envy_n and_o cruelty_n always_o go_v together_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v receive_v for_o its_o own_o worth_a and_o it_o be_v the_o manner_n and_o nature_n of_o true_a faith_n to_o work_v by_o love_n pure_a religion_n and_o true_a be_v love_v god_n above_o all_o and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o and_o in_o this_o love_n we_o shall_v visit_v the_o fatherless_a and_o widow_n and_o not_o make_v widow_n and_o fatherless_a in_o a_o sense_n by_o cast_v the_o father_n and_o husband_n in_o prison_n this_o be_v not_o to_o keep_v unspotted_a from_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v say_v the_o world_n shall_v hate_v we_o who_o be_v true_a follower_n of_o christ_n and_o persecute_v we_o and_o excommunicate_v we_o out_o of_o their_o

they_o but_o christ_n jesus_n no_o where_o bid_v his_o disciple_n excommunicate_v those_o out_o of_o their_o place_n of_o worship_n that_o will_v not_o believe_v nor_o bring_v they_o before_o king_n and_o ruler_n or_o cry_v to_o ruler_n for_o to_o put_v they_o in_o prison_n fine_a they_o and_o spoil_v their_o good_n its_o true_a he_o bid_v they_o shake_v the_o dust_n off_o their_o foot_n for_o a_o testimony_n against_o they_o that_o will_v not_o receive_v their_o testimony_n but_o when_o they_o will_v have_v have_v fire_n from_o heaven_n to_o have_v destroy_v those_o that_o do_v not_o receive_v he_o christ_n rebuke_v they_o and_o say_v you_o know_v not_o what_o manner_n of_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v not_o come_v to_o destroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_v they_o it_o be_v true_a he_o tell_v they_o the_o ruler_n of_o the_o gentile_n exercise_v lordship_n over_o they_o and_o their_o great_a one_o exercise_v authority_n upon_o they_o but_o say_v christ_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o among_o you_o etc._n etc._n remember_v what_o he_o compare_v the_o angry_a scribe_n and_o pharisee_n to_o who_o take_v offence_n at_o both_o john_n baptist_n and_o himself_o and_o indeed_o almost_o all_o that_o god_n send_v among_o they_o say_v he_o they_o be_v like_a unto_o child_n sit_v in_o the_o marketplace_n and_o call_v one_o to_o another_o and_o say_v we_o have_v pipe_v unto_o you_o and_o you_o have_v not_o dance_v we_o have_v mourn_v unto_o you_o and_o you_o have_v not_o lament_v etc._n etc._n and_o be_v not_o this_o like_o you_o who_o be_v still_o so_o childish_a to_o be_v angry_a with_o we_o because_o we_o do_v not_o dance_v after_o your_o pipe_n nor_o lament_v after_o your_o mourn_a why_o will_v you_o not_o do_v as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v by_o you_o will_v not_o take_v it_o well_o to_o be_v force_v to_o conform_v to_o we_o will_v you_o then_o i_o ask_v you_o why_o will_v you_o not_o be_v merciful_a as_o christ_n command_v you_o as_o your_o father_n say_v he_o be_v merciful_a who_o be_v kind_a say_v he_o to_o the_o unthankful_a and_o to_o the_o evil_a let_v your_o fruit_n declare_v you_o to_o be_v branch_n of_o the_o true_a vine_n and_o child_n of_o god_n have_v you_o forget_v what_o be_v say_v of_o the_o man_n that_o fall_v among_o thief_n as_o he_o go_v from_o jerusalem_n to_o jericho_n the_o thief_n strip_v he_o and_o wound_v he_o and_o leave_v he_o half_o dead_a now_o the_o priest_n pass_v by_o and_o the_o levite_n look_v on_o he_o also_o pass_v by_o and_o leave_v he_o but_o the_o good_a samaritan_n take_v pity_n on_o he_o when_o he_o come_v by_o and_o bind_v up_o his_o wound_n pour_v in_o oil_n and_o wine_n and_o set_v he_o on_o his_o own_o beast_n and_o bring_v he_o to_o a_o inn_n and_o take_v care_n of_o he_o and_o say_v christ_n go_v thou_o and_o do_v likewise_o alack_o how_o many_o lie_v wound_v in_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n and_o naked_a of_o all_o that_o be_v good_a and_o must_v none_o take_v pity_n of_o they_o what!_o though_o it_o be_v a_o man_n of_o another_o city_n or_o society_n if_o he_o have_v oil_n and_o wine_n and_o will_v lend_v a_o hand_n of_o help_n and_o do_v good_a to_o the_o wound_a and_o help_v the_o naked_a to_o a_o garment_n why_o shall_v you_o be_v offend_v it_o be_v ill_a in_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n that_o will_v not_o help_v he_o themselves_o and_o show_v a_o churlish_a idle_a easeful_a selfish_a spirit_n in_o they_o that_o care_v not_o what_o come_v of_o man_n so_o they_o can_v eat_v the_o fat_a and_o clothe_v themselves_o with_o the_o fleece_n and_o live_v at_o ease_n but_o it_o will_v have_v be_v much_o worse_a in_o they_o if_o they_o will_v neither_o a_o help_v he_o themselves_o nor_o suffer_v another_o to_o help_v he_o but_o if_o he_o do_v take_v he_o and_o cast_v he_o in_o prison_n spoil_v his_o good_n or_o put_v he_o to_o death_n and_o christ_n say_v woe_n unto_o you_o scribe_n pharisee_n and_o hypocrite_n for_o you_o shut_v up_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n against_o man_n for_o you_o neither_o go_v in_o yourselves_o neither_o suffer_v you_o they_o that_o be_v enter_v to_o go_v in_o woe_n unto_o you_o scribe_n pharisee_n hypocrite_n for_o you_o devour_v widow_n house_n yes_o in_o our_o day_n leave_v she_o not_o a_o cow_n to_o give_v her_o milk_n nor_o a_o bed_n to_o lie_v on_o and_o for_o a_o pretence_n say_v he_o make_v long_a prayer_n therefore_o you_o shall_v receive_v the_o great_a condemnation_n woe_n unto_o you_o blind_a guide_n who_o lie_v heavy_a burden_n and_o grievous_a to_o bear_v upon_o man_n but_o will_v not_o touch_v they_o with_o one_o of_o your_o finger_n but_o say_v christ_n they_o walk_v in_o long_a robe_n love_v the_o uppermost_a room_n at_o feast_n and_o the_o chief_a place_n in_o the_o synagogue_n and_o greeting_n in_o the_o market_n and_o to_o be_v call_v of_o man_n rabbi_n master_n but_o say_v he_o to_o his_o disciple_n be_v not_o you_o call_v master_n for_o one_o be_v your_o

be_v your_o enemy_n but_o if_o we_o be_v not_o your_o brethren_n why_o do_v you_o take_v tithe_n from_o we_o for_o it_o be_v never_o know_v that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n take_v tithe_n of_o any_o but_o only_o their_o brethren_n see_v heb._n 7._o 5._o however_o you_o ought_v to_o do_v all_o thing_n in_o charity_n for_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n work_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n it_o
