so_o froward_a a_o generation_n and_o hereof_o they_o must_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o careful_a because_o the_o wicked_a by_o such_o slip_n and_o infirmity_n will_v not_o only_o take_v occasion_n to_o discredit_v they_o but_o even_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o all_o their_o profession_n yea_o and_o to_o blaspheme_v the_o glorious_a word_n of_o god_n and_o his_o eternal_a truth_n then_o if_o we_o be_v careful_a of_o our_o own_o good_a name_n if_o we_o have_v any_o zeal_n of_o god_n his_o glory_n if_o we_o have_v any_o care_n of_o the_o world_n if_o we_o have_v any_o love_n of_o the_o saint_n then_o let_v we_o careful_o shun_v all_o and_o every_o infirmity_n whereby_o god_n name_n be_v dishonour_v his_o glorious_a gospel_n blaspheme_v his_o child_n greeve_v and_o we_o ourselves_o discredit_v among_o the_o wicked_a and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o open_a and_o outward_a sin_n as_o open_v and_o outward_a sin_n commit_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n have_v always_o the_o punishment_n of_o a_o ill_a name_n join_v with_o it_o so_o also_o secret_a sin_n which_o be_v hide_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o dark_a corner_n of_o our_o heart_n do_v bring_v we_o out_o of_o favour_n and_o credit_n with_o god_n and_o when_o we_o be_v out_o of_o credit_n with_o he_o then_o do_v he_o further_o make_v our_o sin_n know_v unto_o man_n for_o our_o further_a discredit_n for_o nothing_o be_v so_o hide_a which_o shall_v not_o be_v bring_v to_o light_v and_o nothing_o so_o secret_a which_o shall_v not_o be_v discover_v even_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o further_o persuade_v of_o this_o let_v we_o all_o know_v of_o a_o surety_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v many_o mean_n to_o bring_v such_o thing_n to_o light_n for_o he_o can_v make_v the_o field_n to_o have_v eye_n to_o see_v our_o wickedness_n he_o can_v make_v the_o wood_n to_o have_v ear_n to_o hear_v our_o ungodly_a counsel_n yea_o he_o can_v cause_v the_o wall_n of_o our_o bedchamber_n to_o bear_v witness_n against_o we_o of_o our_o sin_n commit_v upon_o our_o bed_n if_o this_o will_v not_o serve_v he_o can_v go_v further_o and_o cause_v our_o friend_n to_o fall_v out_o with_o we_o and_o the_o man_n of_o our_o counsel_n to_o bewray_v our_o wickedness_n and_o though_o we_o have_v not_o any_o such_o purpose_n when_o we_o make_v he_o privy_a to_o our_o devise_n yet_o in_o displeasure_n the_o lord_n do_v cause_v he_o all_o at_o once_o to_o break_v out_o the_o matter_n yea_o rather_o than_o thou_o shall_v bear_v no_o reproach_n for_o thy_o secret_a sin_n the_o

else_o the_o torment_n of_o thy_o evyll_n conscience_n be_v so_o sharp_a that_o even_o to_o thy_o own_o shame_n and_o confusion_n thou_o shall_v confess_v thy_o fault_n last_o of_o all_o when_o thou_o

do_v never_o hear_v of_o they_o so_o doubtless_o do_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o evil_a motion_n thou_o devise_v evyll_n against_o another_o he_o in_o some_o strange_a manner_n have_v a_o hart_n burn_v and_o ielowsie_n over_o thou_o thou_o think_v hardly_o of_o another_o man_n &_o he_o also_o be_v hardly_o persuade_v of_o thou_o thus_o the_o lord_n do_v cause_v thou_o to_o be_v discredit_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o other_o as_o thou_o mean_v evil_a against_o other_o in_o thy_o hart_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o party_n may_v sin_v and_o do_v very_o ill_a if_o he_o suspect_v without_o

who_o see_v the_o cause_n to_o be_v just_a do_v stir_v up_o such_o suspicion_n in_o his_o mind_n then_o to_o return_v to_o our_o purpose_n if_o we_o will_v avoid_v a_o evyll_n name_n than_o we_o

be_v keep_v close_o this_o than_o must_v make_v we_o afraid_a to_o do_v evyll_n or_o imagine_v ill_a on_o our_o bed_n or_o to_o declare_v our_o deep_a counsel_n even_o unto_o they_o that_o lie_v in_o our_o bosom_n and_o this_o as_o it_o be_v a_o good_a mean_n to_o provide_v for_o a_o good_a name_n so_o it_o be_v a_o special_a rule_n of_o all_o godliness_n when_o we_o be_v afraid_a not_o of_o open_a sin_n alone_o but_o even_o of_o the_o secret_a cogitation_n of_o the_o hart_n thus_o we_o have_v hear_v the_o first_o step_n that_o lead_v to_o a_o good_a name_n the_o second_o remain_v to_o be_v declare_v and_o that_o be_v a_o godly_a ielowsie_n over_o a_o man_n own_o do_n that_o they_o may_v not_o breed_v suspicion_n of_o evil_a for_o it_o do_v often_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o albeit_o a_o man_n do_v not_o that_o which_o be_v simple_o evil_a yet_o he_o may_v just_o be_v suspect_v and_o suffer_v some_o blemish_v in_o his_o good_a name_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n do_v the_o apostle_n charge_v we_o to_o procure_v honest_a thing_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o man_n for_o this_o cause_n he_o command_v we_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n honest_a or_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n of_o good_a report_n that_o we_o must_v follow_v and_o that_o we_o must_v embrace_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o therefore_o that_o man_n do_v say_v i_o do_v think_v no_o evyll_n i_o mean_v no_o harm_n for_o if_o through_o want_n of_o care_n or_o of_o discretion_n thou_o have_v venture_v upon_o the_o occasion_n thou_o have_v give_v great_a matter_n of_o evil_a speech_n to_o thy_o great_a

lord_n do_v cause_v a_o evyll_n report_n to_o be_v lay_v upon_o they_o that_o those_o which_o in_o deed_n be_v desperate_a may_v suffer_v just_a discredit_n and_o they_o that_o be_v otherwise_o may_v be_v reclaim_v from_o the_o same_o and_o sure_o such_o be_v the_o crookedness_n of_o man_n nature_n that_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v not_o take_v this_o course_n even_o his_o child_n will_v fall_v
