strange_a discovery_n thereof_o of_o maim_v wound_n and_o stripe_n §_o 1._o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o part_n of_o duty_n neighbour_n those_o to_o our_o neighbour_n which_o be_v by_o the_o

particular_a duty_n we_o owe_v to_o our_o neighbour_n on_o those_o two_o general_a one_o justice_n and_o charity_n 2._o i_o begin_v with_o justice_z whereof_o there_o be_v two_o part_n the_o one_o negative_a the_o other_o positive_a justice_z the_o negative_a justice_n be_v to_o do_v no_o wrong_n or_o injury_n to_o any_o the_o positive_a justice_n be_v to_o do_v right_a to_o all_o that_o be_v to_o yield_v they_o whatsoever_o appertain_v or_o be_v due_a unto_o they_o i_o shall_v first_o speak_v of_o the_o negative_a justice_n the_o not_o injure_v negative_a or_o wrong_v any_o now_o because_o a_o man_n be_v capable_a of_o receive_v wrong_n in_o several_a respect_n this_o first_o part_n of_o justice_n extend_v itself_o into_o several_a branch_n answerable_a to_o those_o capacity_n of_o injury_n a_o man_n may_v be_v injure_v either_o in_o his_o soul_n his_o body_n his_o possession_n or_o credit_n and_o therefore_o this_o duty_n of_o negative_a justice_n lay_v a_o restraint_n on_o we_o in_o every_o of_o these_o that_o we_o do_v no_o wrong_n to_o any_o man_n in_o respect_n either_o of_o his_o soul_n his_o body_n his_o possession_n or_o credit_n 3._o first_o this_o justice_n tie_v we_o to_o do_v no_o soul_n hurt_n to_o his_o soul_n and_o here_o my_o first_o work_n must_v be_v to_o examine_v what_o harm_n it_o be_v that_o the_o soul_n can_v receive_v it_o be_v we_o know_v a_o invisible_a substance_n which_o we_o can_v reach_v with_o our_o eye_n much_o less_o with_o our_o sword_n and_o weapon_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v hurt_v and_o wound_v and_o that_o even_o to_o death_n 4._o now_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v consider_v either_o sense_n in_o a_o natural_a or_o spiritual_a sense_n in_o the_o natural_a it_o signify_v that_o which_o we_o usual_o call_v the_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n and_o this_o we_o all_o know_v may_v be_v wound_v with_o gry_n or_o sadness_n as_o solomon_n say_v prov._n 15._o 13._o by_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n the_o spirit_n be_v break_v therefore_o whoever_o do_v causeless_o afflict_v or_o grieve_v his_o neighbour_n he_o transgress_v this_o part_n of_o justice_n and_o hurt_n and_o wrong_v his_o soul._n this_o sort_n of_o injury_n malicious_a and_o spiteful_a man_n be_v very_o often_o guilty_a of_o they_o will_v do_v thing_n by_o which_o themselves_o reap_v no_o good_a nay_o often_o much_o harm_n only_o that_o they_o may_v vex_v and_o grieve_v another_o this_o be_v a_o most_o savage_a inhuman_a humour_n thus_o to_o take_v pleasure_n in_o the_o sadness_n and_o affliction_n of_o other_o and_o whoever_o harbour_v it_o in_o his_o heart_n may_v true_o be_v say_v to_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o devil_n for_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n only_o of_o those_o accurse_a spirit_n to_o delight_v in_o the_o misery_n of_o man_n and_o till_o that_o be_v cast_v out_o they_o be_v fit_v only_o to_o dwell_v as_o the_o possess_v person_n do_v mar_n 5._o 2._o among_o grave_n and_o tomb_n where_o there_o be_v none_o capable_a of_o receive_v affliction_n by_o they_o 5._o but_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v consider_v also_o in_o the_o spiritual_a spiritual_a sense_n and_o so_o it_o signify_v that_o immortal_a part_n of_o we_o which_o must_v live_v eternal_o either_o in_o bliss_n or_o woe_n in_o another_o world_n and_o the_o soul_n thus_o understand_v be_v capable_a of_o two_o sort_n of_o harm_n first_o that_o of_o sin_n second_o that_o of_o punishment_n the_o latter_a whereof_o be_v certain_o the_o consequent_a of_o the_o former_a and_o therefore_o though_o god_n be_v the_o inflict_a of_o punishment_n yet_o since_o it_o be_v but_o the_o effect_n of_o sin_n we_o may_v just_o reckon_v that_o he_o that_o draw_v a_o man_n to_o sin_n be_v likewise_o the_o betrayer_n of_o he_o to_o punishment_n as_o he_o that_o give_v a_o man_n a_o mortal_a wound_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o death_n therefore_o under_o the_o evil_n of_o sin_n both_o be_v contain_v so_o that_o i_o need_v speak_v only_o of_o that_o 6._o and_o sure_o there_o can_v be_v a_o high_a sort_n injury_n of_o wrong_n than_o the_o bring_v this_o great_a evil_n upon_o the_o soul_n sin_n be_v the_o disease_n and_o wound_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o be_v the_o direct_a contrary_n to_o grace_n which_o be_v the_o health_n and_o soundness_n of_o it_o now_o this_o wound_n we_o give_v to_o every_o soul_n who_o we_o do_v by_o any_o mean_n whatsoever_o draw_v into_o sin_n 7._o the_o way_n of_o do_v that_o be_v divers_a i_o it_o shall_v mention_v some_o of_o they_o whereof_o though_o some_o be_v more_o direct_a than_o other_o yet_o all_o tend_v to_o the_o same_o end_n of_o the_o more_o direct_a one_o there_o be_v first_o the_o command_a of_o sin_n that_o be_v when_o a_o person_n that_o have_v power_n over_o another_o shall_v require_v he_o to_o do_v something_o which_o be_v unlawful_a a_o example_n of_o this_o we_o have_v in_o nebuchadnezar_n command_v the_o worship_n of_o the_o golden_a image_n dan._n

when_o its_o part_n do_v not_o right_o perform_v their_o office_n 11._o the_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v especial_o these_o three_o the_o understanding_n the_o will_n and_o the_o affection_n and_o that_o these_o be_v disorder_v there_o needs_o little_a proof_n let_v any_o man_n look_v sevious_o into_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o consider_v how_o little_a it_o be_v he_o know_v of_o spiritual_a

and_o that_o i_o shall_v now_o brief_o tell_v you_o 12._o god_n create_v the_o first_o man_n adam_n without_o sin_n and_o endue_v his_o covenant_n soul_n with_o the_o full_a knowledge_n of_o his_o

with_o he_o to_o this_o purpose_n that_o if_o he_o continue_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n without_o commit_v sin_n then_o first_o that_o strength_n of_o soul_n which_o he_o then_o have_v shall_v still_o be_v continue_v to_o he_o and_o second_o that_o he_o shall_v never_o die_v but_o he_o take_v up_o into_o heaven_n there_o to_o be_v happy_a for_o ever_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o he_o commit_v sin_n and_o disobeyed_n god_n then_o both_o he_o and_o all_o his_o child_n after_o he_o shall_v lose_v that_o knowledge_n and_o that_o perfect_a strength_n which_o enable_v he_o to_o do_v all_o that_o god_n require_v of_o he_o and_o second_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o death_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o to_o eternal_a damnation_n in_o hell_n 13._o this_o be_v the_o agreement_n

but_o this_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o one_o only_a tree_n of_o that_o garden_n wherein_o he_o have_v place_v he_o but_o he_o by_o the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o devil_n eat_v of_o that_o
