precipitation_n the_o second_o consequence_n remain_v as_o the_o devil_n tempt_v to_o presumption_n by_o instigate_a to_o dangerous_a end_n in_o neglect_n of_o ordinary_a mean_n so_o do_v he_o by_o a_o scriptum_fw-la est_fw-la tempt_v thereunto_o by_o pretence_n of_o a_o good_a and_o holy_a end_n of_o honour_v god_n thereby_o as_o have_v be_v say_v notwithstanding_o christ_n give_v he_o a_o shameful_a repulse_n by_o this_o his_o scriptum_fw-la est_fw-la thou_o shall_v not_o tempt_v etc._n etc._n the_o full_a theorem_n in_o this_o be_v give_v by_o the_o apostle_n not_o to_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v thereby_o which_o draw_v i_o to_o a_o doctrine_n than_o which_o none_o be_v more_o necessary_a for_o these_o time_n when_o our_o pretence_n for_o violent_a rapine_n our_o sic_fw-la volumus_fw-la imprisonment_n our_o thirst_n after_o wound_n and_o bloodshed_n as_o engender_v foment_v foster_v and_o enforce_v by_o that_o which_o be_v call_v a_o cause_n be_v it_o never_o so_o godly_a yet_o sure_o we_o know_v that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o can_v be_v say_v for_o a_o good_a intent_n of_o glorify_v god_n by_o unjust_a mean_n it_o can_v but_o be_v to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o he_o whilst_o it_o want_v god_n own_o warrant_n and_o scriptum_fw-la est_fw-la as_o have_v be_v plain_o show_v only_o we_o can_v conceal_v that_o this_o theorem_n do_v draw_v from_o we_o another_o inference_n as_o our_o last_o conclusion_n the_o end_n of_o all_o action_n moral_o according_a as_o the_o learned_a know_v be_v the_o principal_a form_n like_o the_o form_n of_o creature_n dant_fw-la nomen_fw-la et_fw-la esse_fw-la make_v they_o good_a or_o ill_a therefore_o will_v it_o direct_o follow_v that_o if_o ill_a action_n for_o good_a end_n be_v condemnable_a then_o good_a action_n for_o wicked_a end_n much_o more_o and_o that_o such_o action_n may_v be_v devilish_a the_o devil_n themselves_o have_v show_v by_o their_o address_n to_o christ_n which_o have_v be_v allege_v where_o they_o make_v that_o open_a and_o joint_a confession_n of_o our_o fundamental_a article_n of_o christian_a faith_n say_v thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o again_o the_o son_n of_o the_o high_a which_o they_o do_v more_o than_o once_o now_o none_o can_v deny_v but_o the_o confession_n itself_o sever_v from_o all_o evil_a circumstance_n have_v be_v divine_o good_a but_o christ_n never_o will_v endure_v to_o hear_v devil_n preach_v though_o a_o truth_n concerning_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o godhead_n but_o he_o put_v they_o to_o silence_n know_v that_o the_o devil_n speak_v he_o well_o or_o ill_a he_o will_v be_v the_o devil_n still_o he_o either_o speak_v a_o falsum_fw-la a_o lie_n or_o if_o truth_n yet_o ad_fw-la falsum_fw-la to_o a_o false_a and_o wicked_a end_n enough_o of_o this_o doctrine_n i_o come_v to_o our_o citation_n of_o three_o party_n which_o may_v appear_v as_o they_o shall_v be_v summon_v first_o be_v the_o pharisaical_a hypocrite_n boast_v of_o their_o fast_n and_o prayer_n and_o just_a tithing_n but_o to_o what_o end_n the_o gospel_n tell_v we_o to_o have_v applause_n of_o man_n only_o their_o long_a prayer_n except_v which_o be_v to_o devour_v widow_n house_n behold_v their_o downfall_n woe_n be_v unto_o you_o woe_n be_v unto_o you_o thus_o do_v christ_n multiply_v woe_n upon_o they_o 2._o romish_a pharisee_n be_v the_o next_o who_o pride_n themselves_o in_o the_o merit_n of_o their_o work_n merit_n of_o condignity_n according_a to_o the_o exact_a justice_n of_o god_n which_o be_v a_o act_n of_o excellence_n proper_a to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o against_o that_o scriptum_fw-la est_fw-la luke_n 17._o 10._o when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o that_o be_v command_v say_v you_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n and_o their_o downfall_n be_v elegant_o resemble_v by_o pope_n gregory_n the_o first_o and_o best_a of_o that_o name_n and_o therefore_o entitle_v a_o saint_n who_o as_o he_o do_v disclaim_v all_o conceit_n of_o merit_n in_o himself_o so_o do_v he_o condemn_v it_o in_o all_o other_o his_o simile_n be_v this_o eleazar_n the_o valiant_a man_n of_o war_n kill_v a_o elephant_n that_o be_v come_v upon_o he_o but_o so_o that_o the_o beast_n have_v receive_v his_o deadly_a wound_n in_o his_o downfall_n light_n upon_o eleazar_n and_o crush_v he_o to_o death_n even_o so_o they_o who_o glory_n in_o conquer_a their_o vice_n be_v therein_o conquer_v and_o subdue_v themselves_o through_o their_o opinion_n of_o merit_n 3._o last_o to_o reflect_v upon_o our_o english_a self_n if_o it_o be_v that_o our_o fast_n and_o prayer_n be_v not_o boast_v of_o they_o may_v be_v better_o think_v of_o but_o do_v never_o any_o so_o before_o we_o yes_o in_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n the_o jew_n do_v exprobate_a god_n we_o have_v fast_v and_o thou_o see_v not_o but_o let_v we_o see_v what_o god_n say_v thereunto_o you_o fast_v to_o strife_n and_o debate_n be_v this_o a_o fast_n that_o i_o have_v choose_v show_v that_o god_n do_v abhor_v it_o prayer_n we_o have_v and_o that_o extraordinary_a long_a beyond_o all_o example_n of_o all_o time_n in_o whatsoever_o people_n of_o god_n whether_o some_o of_o they_o fish_n thereby_o for_o widow_n house_n they_o themselves_o know_v best_o but_o questionless_a it_o be_v do_v in_o a_o singularity_n if_o not_o as_o christ_n speak_v of_o the_o pharisaical_a think_v the_o rather_o to_o be_v hear_v of_o god_n as_o for_o alm_n deed_n i_o wish_v they_o be_v so_o visible_a as_o to_o deserve_v a_o question_v the_o end_n why_o the_o act_n which_o be_v most_o in_o sight_n be_v contribution_n against_o rebellious_a ireland_n and_o the_o popery_n thereof_o and_o this_o we_o may_v be_v persuade_v of_o if_o we_o see_v not_o visible_o the_o bait_n of_o their_o condition_n for_o devour_v not_o only_o house_n but_o all_o of_o those_o papist_n possession_n and_o livedome_n within_o the_o nation_n beside_o the_o like_a faith_n here_o at_o home_n devour_v in_o hope_n the_o
