fox_n upon_o you_o which_o day_n as_o they_o hope_v for_o so_o if_o it_o shall_v come_v which_o yet_o god_n forbid_v as_o he_o have_v forbid_v these_o many_o year_n of_o his_o goodness_n &_o infinite_a mercy_n yet_o than_o you_o will_v wish_v though_o too_o late_o you_o have_v take_v the_o fox_n it_o be_v best_o therefore_o for_o all_o magistrate_n to_o be_v wise_a in_o time_n lest_o peril_n bring_v repentance_n when_o it_o will_v be_v too_o late_o and_o therefore_o diligent_o to_o inquire_v for_o fox_n namely_o for_o papist_n &_o to_o let_v they_o have_v neither_o liberty_n nor_o life_n where_o the_o vine_n of_o christ_n may_v stand_v in_o danger_n of_o waste_v by_o they_o for_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o this_o precept_n be_v give_v oh_o but_o there_o be_v small_a love_n in_o your_o lip_n will_v catholic_n say_v nothing_o but_o cruelty_n in_o your_o mouth_n will_v other_o say_v to_o who_o i_o answer_v that_o so_o shall_v object_v &_o that_o out_o of_o my_o last_o part_n that_o there_o be_v small_a charity_n in_o they_o whosoever_o they_o be_v that_o will_v have_v the_o fox_n spare_v where_o there_o be_v danger_n lest_o the_o vine_n by_o the_o fox_n be_v waste_v for_o they_o that_o have_v no_o love_n to_o the_o vine_n may_v pity_v the_o fox_n &_o in_o very_a deed_n there_o be_v none_o that_o wish_v the_o freedom_n of_o the_o fox_n but_o he_o that_o wish_v danger_n to_o the_o vine_n but_o herein_o i_o need_v not_o to_o answer_v much_o i_o appeal_v to_o you_o all_o whether_o ever_o the_o vine_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o great_a peril_n of_o waste_v than_o now_o it_o be_v &_o why_o but_o because_o the_o fox_n have_v be_v too_o long_o suffer_v &_o have_v not_o by_o mercy_n &_o patience_n be_v win_v but_o wax_v worse_o as_o experience_n &_o too_o too_o late_o have_v make_v lamentable_a trial_n whereas_o if_o the_o fox_n have_v be_v take_v in_o time_n his_o might_n &_o malice_n have_v quite_o be_v cut_v off_o and_o the_o vine_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v in_o better_a safety_n but_o for_o this_o only_a thus_o i_o say_v you_o know_v and_o see_v all_o what_o mischief_n have_v come_v to_o the_o world_n what_o danger_n to_o the_o vine_n because_o the_o fox_n have_v not_o be_v take_v from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o therefore_o hereafter_o for_o the_o lord_n cause_n delay_v you_o no_o time_n but_o see_v that_o you_o take_v they_o let_v the_o vine_n of_o christ_n be_v dear_a unto_o you_o and_o spare_v not_o the_o fox_n lest_o you_o lose_v the_o vine_n oh_o spare_v we_o not_o papist_n for_o what_o be_v they_o but_o fox_n for_o this_o be_v the_o charity_n that_o this_o my_o text_n crave_v of_o you_o this_o be_v the_o charity_n that_o you_o owe_v to_o the_o vine_n and_o if_o any_o spare_v the_o fox_n to_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o vine_n that_o be_v no_o charity_n but_o cruelty_n and_o justice_n will_v be_v sharp_a to_o punish_v it_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n when_o all_o man_n shall_v have_v no_o judge_n but_o god_n who_o be_v charity_n who_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o smite_v home_o if_o the_o fox_n be_v not_o catch_v that_o go_v about_o to_o waste_v his_o vine_n but_o suffer_v to_o work_v his_o spite_n upon_o

save_v it_o you_o will_v perhaps_o say_v i_o have_v answer_v and_o add_v permit_v they_o not_o free_a take_v care_n to_o inquire_v and_o catch_v and_o when_o they_o be_v take_v take_v care_n to_o
