mind_n then_o in_o humility_n and_o meekness_n to_o condescend_v to_o other_o yea_o to_o lay_v ourselves_o at_o their_o foot_n and_o beg_v of_o they_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o peace_n that_o they_o will_v be_v the_o child_n of_o peace_n this_o be_v to_o become_v the_o son_n of_o the_o most_o high_a and_o heir_n of_o the_o great_a glory_n and_o now_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o for_o what_o end_n will_v you_o shut_v up_o yourself_o in_o your_o closet_n or_o make_v a_o cell_n of_o your_o house_n be_v it_o not_o that_o you_o may_v improve_v yourself_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o

nothing_o will_v so_o much_o promote_v your_o end_n as_o love_n of_o your_o neighbour_n this_o will_v make_v you_o feel_v what_o god_n be_v and_o give_v you_o the_o clear_a and_o strong_a sense_n of_o he_o and_o the_o large_a and_o wide_a your_o charity_n grow_v the_o more_o able_a will_v you_o be_v to_o conceive_v the_o vastness_n of_o god_n love_n and_o the_o less_o doubt_n you_o will_v have_v of_o his_o universal_a good_a will_n it_o will_v dispose_v you_o also_o more_o than_o any_o thing_n else_o to_o believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o will_v win_v your_o assent_n to_o those_o report_n which_o seem_v most_o incredible_a when_o you_o find_v in_o yourself_o such_o a_o great_a loye_n to_o other_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o you_o to_o conclude_v that_o god_n may_v love_v we_o so_o much_o as_o to_o send_v his_o only_a son_n into_o the_o world_n and_o give_v he_o also_o to_o die_v for_o we_o sinner_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n of_o great_a force_n than_o other_o to_o bring_v you_o acquaint_v with_o the_o joy_n and_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o to_o make_v discovery_n beforehand_o of_o it_o this_o must_v be_v that_o happy_a spy_n for_o they_o consist_v very_o much_o in_o the_o dear_a love_n and_o friendship_n which_o there_o be_v between_o all_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o that_o bless_a place_n but_o these_o thing_n i_o will_v leave_v to_o your_o own_o

full_a of_o god_n and_o as_o a_o man_n inspire_v to_o do_v much_o good_a for_o this_o active_a devotion_n be_v that_o which_o god_n love_v he_o will_v impart_v more_o of_o his_o blessing_n to_o you_o if_o you_o open_v your_o hand_n in_o do_v benefit_n to_o other_o then_o if_o you_o shall_v lift_v they_o up_o all_o day_n in_o prayer_n to_o heaven_n he_o refuse_v nothing_o to_o the_o stir_v and_o diligent_a soul_n who_o love_n and_o goodwill_n have_v set_v in_o motion_n he_o delight_v to_o give_v to_o those_o who_o employ_v his_o grace_n it_o be_v a_o pleasure_n to_o he_o to_o bless_v those_o who_o go_v forth_o to_o meet_v his_o favour_n and_o do_v not_o expect_v they_o in_o their_o chamber_n but_o we_o never_o employ_v his_o grace_n better_o than_o when_o we_o imitate_v the_o effusion_n of_o it_o upon_o we_o in_o our_o kindness_n and_o benignity_n to_o other_o and_o we_o be_v never_o more_o like_a to_o meet_v his_o blessing_n then_o when_o they_o be_v blessing_n of_o he_o for_o the_o good_a that_o we_o have_v bring_v unto_o they_o i_o know_v you_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v hereafter_o that_o you_o can_v design_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o you_o doubt_v you_o shall_v ever_o do_v that_o the_o idea_n you_o have_v of_o this_o noble_a quality_n be_v very_o high_a but_o you_o be_v afraid_a it_o be_v above_o your_o reach_n and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o before_o

that_o will_v dispose_v you_o still_o to_o do_v more_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n you_o be_v to_o take_v care_n of_o this_o to_o rejoice_v hearty_o that_o there_o be_v other_o in_o the_o world_n who_o can_v do_v more_o good_a than_o you_o if_o we_o be_v once_o arrive_v at_o this_o noble_a disposition_n of_o rejoice_v in_o the_o good_a of_o other_o either_o in_o that_o which_o they_o enjoy_v or_o that_o which_o they_o can_v do_v we_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o want_v charity_n that_o we_o shall_v equal_v ourselves_o with_o the_o most_o excellent_a and_o bless_a nature_n as_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o cause_n to_o complain_v that_o we_o be_v not_o in_o the_o same_o throne_n with_o prince_n nor_o to_o envy_v the_o learning_n of_o those_o who_o sit_v in_o the_o chair_n of_o wisdom_n so_o we_o shall_v not_o come_v behind_o the_o devotion_n of_o the_o great_a saint_n nor_o be_v much_o inferior_a to_o the_o angel_n who_o think_v it_o no_o small_a part_n of_o their_o

who_o soul_n surmount_v all_o discouragement_n and_o rejoice_v in_o the_o universal_a good_a of_o mankind_n by_o whosoever_o it_o be_v procure_v hereby_o we_o shall_v make_v the_o happiness_n of_o

and_o what_o great_a charity_n than_o that_o which_o endeavour_v to_o preserve_v it_o we_o can_v conceive_v of_o none_o high_o unless_o it_o be_v this_o to_o sacrifice_v our_o own_o life_n for_o the_o

our_o lord_n use_v these_o man_n with_o great_a clemency_n and_o give_v they_o his_o pardon_n whilst_o they_o be_v commit_v of_o the_o fault_n nay_o he_o not_o only_o forgive_v they_o himself_o but_o

we_o shall_v not_o then_o be_v backward_o to_o forgive_v injury_n to_o do_v good_a to_o enemy_n to_o repay_v wrong_n with_o courtesy_n to_o bear_v with_o man_n folly_n and_o weakness_n to_o envy_v no_o man_n prosperity_n but_o to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o good_a of_o all_o as_o if_o it_o be_v our_o own_o happiness_n but_o poor_a pilgrim_n will_v find_v themselves_o in_o such_o need_n of_o the_o

fare_v the_o better_a for_o it_o in_o your_o after-course_n and_o first_o i_o must_v not_o have_v you_o lay_v more_o load_n upon_o yourself_o then_o christ_n have_v do_v nor_o oblige_v yourself_o without_o the_o liberty_n of_o a_o dispensation_n to_o so_o many_o hour_n of_o prayer_n and_o read_v every_o day_n let_v it_o suffice_v to_o do_v what_o you_o can_v all_o other_o thing_n be_v due_o

to_o make_v use_n of_o some_o innocent_a recreation_n and_o harmless_a pastime_n as_o you_o go_v along_o and_o therefore_o what_o i_o do_v but_o then_o advise_v let_v i_o now_o enjoin_v that_o you_o

because_o i_o have_v the_o judgement_n to_o set_v such_o a_o esteem_n upon_o yourself_o for_o i_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o though_o your_o favour_n can_v have_v impose_v a_o great_a necessity_n upon_o i_o of_o love_a than_o you_o will_v allow_v yet_o i_o feel_v that_o i_o be_o not_o beholden_a to_o they_o for_o my_o inclination_n to_o love_v you_o that_o be_v something_o more_o ancient_a

that_o your_o favour_n be_v a_o part_n of_o your_o desert_n and_o that_o there_o be_v something_o peculiar_a in_o they_o to_o merit_v my_o affection_n they_o flow_v pure_o from_o your_o own_o
