be_v take_v do_v suppose_v that_o when_o man_n suffer_v for_o their_o sin_n they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v account_v great_a sinner_n mere_o for_o that_o reason_n than_o those_o who_o at_o the_o same_o time_n escape_v and_o suffer_v nothing_o for_o when_o he_o say_v that_o neither_o shall_v they_o escape_v that_o hear_v he_o unless_o they_o repent_v it_o be_v imply_v or_o at_o least_o not_o deny_v that_o those_o thing_n happen_v to_o the_o aforesaid_a galilean_n and_o jew_n as_o a_o punishment_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o a_o plain_a case_n it_o be_v that_o in_o this_o life_n where_o the_o tare_n and_o the_o wheat_n grow_v together_o that_o by_o the_o same_o affliction_n god_n punish_v the_o sin_n of_o some_o while_o he_o manifest_v the_o sincerity_n of_o other_o and_o in_o this_o case_n it_o remain_v true_a that_o those_o who_o be_v punish_v be_v not_o to_o be_v account_v great_a sinner_n than_o all_o those_o that_o escape_n of_o which_o we_o need_v not_o desire_v any_o other_o proof_n than_o our_o saviour_n word_n for_o it_o but_o in_o some_o case_n we_o have_v very_o evident_a and_o sensible_a demonstration_n of_o it_o for_o sometime_o god_n punish_v the_o sin_n of_o some_o man_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o other_o that_o be_v worse_o than_o they_o who_o he_o reserve_v for_o far_o great_a punishment_n in_o this_o life_n as_o the_o history_n of_o the_o church_n do_v abundant_o testify_v now_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o it_o must_v not_o be_v conclude_v of_o those_o that_o suffer_v under_o the_o oppression_n of_o other_o that_o they_o be_v worse_o than_o those_o that_o oppress_v they_o it_o ought_v not_o neither_o to_o be_v conclude_v of_o those_o that_o do_v not_o suffer_v by_o they_o that_o they_o be_v worse_o than_o those_o that_o do_v for_o the_o former_a observation_n be_v a_o evident_a proof_n that_o they_o do_v not_o suffer_v first_o who_o deserve_v it_o most_o which_o be_v a_o doctrine_n that_o our_o saviour_n think_v fit_a to_o deliver_v in_o his_o day_n and_o will_v be_v of_o constant_a use_n while_o the_o world_n last_v to_o keep_v christian_n at_o the_o great_a distance_n from_o that_o jewish_a error_n that_o man_n may_v discern_v god_n love_n and_o hatred_n by_o what_o befall_v they_o in_o this_o world_n i_o will_v therefore_o never_o suffer_v myself_o to_o be_v run_v into_o a_o ill_a opinion_n of_o any_o man_n or_o any_o people_n by_o any_o adversity_n how_o great_a soever_o it_o be_v which_o happen_v to_o they_o before_o my_o eye_n much_o less_o will_v i_o enter_v into_o comparison_n i_o will_v not_o conclude_v from_o the_o affliction_n i_o see_v that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o great_a sin_n at_o the_o bottom_n which_o vengeance_n have_v find_v out_o and_o when_o i_o see_v the_o sin_n and_o can_v forbear_v acknowledge_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n i_o will_v not_o go_v on_o to_o suppose_v there_o be_v something_o more_o than_o i_o do_v see_v and_o make_v he_o to_o be_v a_o worse_a man_n than_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v nor_o will_v i_o conclude_v that_o he_o be_v worse_a than_o those_o that_o do_v not_o suffer_v such_o thing_n and_o what_o construction_n i_o will_v forbear_v to_o make_v of_o a_o single_a person_n i_o will_v much_o more_o forbear_v to_o make_v of_o multitude_n because_o i_o know_v the_o reason_n of_o god_n proceed_n with_o peoples_n and_o nation_n and_o great_a body_n of_o man_n be_v by_o i_o unsearchable_a and_o that_o time_n discover_v that_o wisdom_n of_o his_o counsel_n which_o my_o reason_n can_v fathom_v in_o a_o word_n i_o will_v conclude_v ill_a of_o none_o because_o they_o suffer_v but_o rather_o well_o of_o they_o if_o i_o know_v no_o cause_n to_o the_o contrary_a because_o it_o be_v often_o god_n method_n to_o afflict_v his_o own_o best_a servant_n and_o when_o he_o punish_v for_o sin_n to_o begin_v with_o those_o that_o do_v not_o most_o of_o all_o deserve_v it_o shall_v i_o conclude_v for_o instance_n that_o the_o french_a protestant_n have_v be_v the_o great_a sinner_n of_o all_o the_o protestant_n in_o europe_n or_o great_a than_o ourselves_o because_o they_o have_v suffer_v such_o thing_n god_n forbid_v i_o speak_v not_o of_o those_o who_o to_o their_o glory_n in_o this_o world_n but_o alas_o that_o be_v little_a worth_n it_o become_v i_o to_o say_v and_o you_o to_o hear_v it_o who_o to_o their_o praise_n with_o god_n and_o to_o the_o increase_n of_o their_o reward_n hereafter_o in_o a_o better_a life_n have_v suffer_v the_o loss_n of_o all_o thing_n to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n but_o of_o those_o who_o the_o terror_n of_o this_o world_n have_v prevail_v with_o more_o than_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o who_o the_o desire_n of_o ease_n here_o have_v be_v too_o hard_o for_o the_o desire_n of_o salvation_n hereafter_o i_o will_v not_o say_v and_o we_o must_v not_o say_v that_o even_o these_o be_v great_a sinner_n than_o ourselves_o who_o have_v not_o fall_v into_o their_o temptation_n such_o instance_n as_o these_o brethren_n do_v best_a explain_v the_o intention_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o these_o word_n and_o will_v affect_v we_o with_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o they_o and_o the_o more_o that_o we_o look_v abroad_o into_o the_o world_n and_o consider_v the_o unsearchableness_n of_o god_n judgement_n and_o that_o his_o way_n be_v past_o find_v out_o as_o we_o can_v but_o do_v if_o we_o ask_v ourselves_o the_o reason_n why_o this_o and_o that_o happen_v the_o more_o sensible_o we_o shall_v acknowledge_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o saviour_n doctrine_n in_o this_o place_n and_o shall_v forbear_v pass_v judgement_n upon_o the_o unhappy_a mere_o because_o they_o be_v so_o but_o yet_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o god_n do_v of_o this_o kind_n in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o a_o unprofitable_a observation_n and_o that_o because_o the_o second_o point_n of_o the_o three_o which_o i_o have_v mention_v be_v as_o true_a as_o the_o first_o and_o that_o be_v this_o 2._o that_o one_o reason_n why_o the_o evil_n of_o this_o life_n do_v not_o befall_v all_o person_n at_o the_o same_o time_n who_o be_v equal_o sinner_n be_v that_o while_o some_o be_v visit_v with_o the_o rod_n of_o god_n other_o may_v take_v warning_n by_o it_o this_o proposition_n i_o lay_v down_o with_o great_a confidence_n not_o only_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o in_o general_a but_o also_o of_o the_o pertinence_n of_o it_o to_o the_o text_n for_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o our_o saviour_n upon_o mention_n make_v of_o the_o former_a of_o the_o two_o tragical_a story_n observe_v the_o latter_a himself_o and_z takes_z occasion_n from_o thence_o to_o divert_v his_o hearer_n from_o censure_v those_o miserable_a person_n as_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v and_o to_o employ_v they_o in_o reflect_v upon_o themselves_o i_o tell_v you_o nay_o but_o except_o you_o repent_v you_o shall_v all_o likewise_o perish_v he_o employ_v they_o in_o reflect_v upon_o their_o own_o sin_n for_o say_v he_o except_o you_o repent_v and_o upon_o their_o own_o danger_n except_o you_o repent_v you_o shall_v all_o likewise_o perish_v and_o now_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o will_v be_v grant_v that_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o wander_v from_o the_o true_a intent_n of_o god_n providence_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o happen_v to_o those_o person_n nor_o make_v a_o application_n of_o they_o which_o be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o therefore_o since_o he_o give_v warning_n by_o their_o example_n it_o remain_v true_a as_o i_o say_v that_o one_o reason_n why_o the_o evil_n of_o this_o life_n do_v not_o befall_v all_o person_n at_o the_o same_o time_n who_o equal_o deserve_v they_o and_o i_o will_v add_v who_o equal_o need_v they_o be_v this_o that_o while_o some_o be_v correct_v other_o may_v be_v instruct_v i_o rather_o keep_v to_o the_o case_n of_o punish_v sin_n than_o try_v virtue_n because_o that_o be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o text_n though_o i_o may_v say_v too_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o all_o that_o can_v bear_v a_o trial_n be_v not_o try_v at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v because_o the_o trial_n of_o some_o righteous_a man_n be_v not_o only_o profitable_a to_o themselves_o but_o the_o example_n of_o they_o also_o be_v profitable_a to_o other_o good_a man_n to_o encourage_v and_o fortify_v they_o but_o when_o god_n punish_v he_o do_v not_o at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n punish_v all_o that_o deserve_v it_o equal_o but_o he_o punish_v some_o that_o the_o rest_n may_v take_v warning_n for_o if_o the_o suffering_n of_o a_o few_o in_o comparison_n will_v instruct_v all_o the_o rest_n god_n end_n be_v gain_v which_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v learn_v righteousness_n when_o his_o judgement_n be_v abroad_o in_o the_o earth_n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o those_o argument_n

the_o plain_a answer_n to_o these_o harangue_n be_v this_o that_o christian_n be_v not_o unite_v into_o one_o body_n or_o church_n in_o all_o respect_n but_o in_o some_o they_o be_v there_o be_v the_o unity_n of_o one_o lord_n and_o one_o faith_n and_o one_o baptism_n which_o make_v they_o one_o body_n but_o then_o alas_o they_o be_v not_o always_o one_o body_n in_o respect_n of_o unity_n and_o

ought_v to_o be_v but_o now_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o same_o faith_n which_o be_v once_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n and_o admission_n into_o the_o state_n of_o christian_a duty_n and_o privilege_n by_o baptism_n be_v that_o which_o make_v a_o christian_n and_o which_o unite_v all_o christian_a society_n into_o one_o body_n they_o indeed_o who_o be_v defective_a in_o this_o be_v no_o christian_n and_o they_o who_o come_v thus_o far_o be_v so_o because_o we_o be_v all_o baptize_v into_o one_o body_n but_o then_o we_o grant_v there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o far_a unity_n and_o in_o particular_a a_o unity_n of_o communion_n for_o the_o unite_n of_o the_o member_n of_o this_o body_n more_o strict_o to_o one_o another_o but_o though_o there_o be_v not_o unity_n of_o communion_n they_o do_v not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o be_v member_n of_o one_o body_n but_o all_o that_o can_v be_v true_o say_v be_v that_o some_o of_o the_o member_n be_v contentious_a and_o either_o give_v just_a cause_n of_o offence_n or_o take_v offence_n when_o none_o be_v give_v which_o be_v indeed_o contrary_a to_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n but_o not_o utter_o inconsistent_a with_o their_o be_v member_n of_o it_o and_o for_o this_o we_o have_v the_o authority_n of_o st._n paul_n in_o the_o two_o verse_n next_o but_o one_o to_o the_o text_n if_o the_o foot_n shall_v say_v because_o i_o be_o not_o the_o hand_n i_o be_o not_o of_o the_o body_n be_v it_o therefore_o not_o of_o the_o body_n that_o be_v if_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n do_v contrary_a to_o their_o duty_n in_o some_o respect_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v present_o that_o they_o be_v no_o long_a part_n of_o the_o church_n and_o if_o one_o church_n will_v have_v no_o

so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v a_o unity_n of_o faith_n i._n e._n a_o consent_n in_o profess_v the_o necessary_a article_n of_o christianity_n they_o be_v yet_o one_o body_n though_o one_o part_n of_o it_o do_v not_o perform_v the_o duty_n incumbent_a on_o it_o as_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o church_n but_o will_v perhaps_o be_v the_o whole_a or_o nothing_o and_o be_v not_o content_a to_o

may_v therefore_o in_o respect_n of_o faith_n and_o baptism_n grant_v that_o church_n which_o will_v be_v all_o in_o all_o to_o be_v within_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n though_o we_o be_v not_o in_o communion_n with_o it_o but_o then_o in_o respect_n of_o unity_n of_o affection_n and_o charity_n and_o unity_n of_o communion_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o in_o oppose_v all_o dangerous_a error_n and_o unity_n of_o government_n in_o these_o respect_n i_o say_v she_o be_v not_o within_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o body_n in_o as_o much_o as_o she_o do_v contrary_a to_o

indeed_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v unity_n in_o maintain_v communion_n in_o all_o christian_a office_n and_o to_o that_o end_n no_o false_a doctrine_n be_v to_o be_v add_v to_o the_o profession_n of_o
