both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v of_o his_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d good_a will_n it_o be_v the_o very_a same_o word_n wherewith_o the_o angel_n bring_v their_o glad_a tiding_n of_o great_a

which_o they_o have_v espouse_v either_o all_o the_o provision_n must_v be_v lose_v or_o some_o other_o mean_v use_v more_o suitab'l_a to_o the_o necessity_n than_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o fest_n we_o must_v therefore_o distinguish_v the_o principal_a end_n from_o the_o subordinate_a mean_n who_o be_v whole_a buisiness_n be_v to_o serve_v that_o end_n and_o since_o the_o end_n be_v choose_v for_o its_o own_o sake_n and_o the_o mean_v only_o for_o the_o end_v sake_n we_o must_v advance_v the_o spirit_n of_o love_n as_o much_o as_o be_v possib'l_a but_o that_o of_o fear_n only_o so_o much_o as_o be_v necessary_a comply_v with_o it_o so_o far_o as_o to_o follow_v it_o from_o the_o hedge_n to_o the_o house_n and_o then_o dismiss_v it_o to_o exercise_v its_o kind_a rudeness_n upon_o other_o who_o need_v it_o and_o thus_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v full_o account_v for_o my_o first_o position_n the_o gospel_n do_v not_o design_n to_o draw_v we_o by_o fear_n but_o love_n and_o it_o be_v for_o love_n sake_n if_o fear_v be_v at_o all_o employ_v come_v we_o now_o to_o our_o secund_n ii_o the_o mistake_n of_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o gospel_n and_o its_o preacher_n be_v so_o hate_v by_o the_o world_n what_o can_v we_o expect_v but_o contrary_a cause_n must_v produce_v contrary_a effect_n if_o therefore_o our_o preach_n be_v different_a from_o that_o of_o the_o
