comparrison_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n yet_o i_o may_v say_v of_o outward_a thing_n as_o far_o as_o christ_n have_v enjoin_v they_o as_o christ_n say_v of_o tthe_a mint_n and_o annise_v when_o he_o speak_v of_o righteousness_n these_o thing_n ought_v you_o to_o have_v one_o but_o the_o other_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v leave_v undo_v so_o this_o be_v the_o main_a work_n for_o a_o christian_n to_o do_v and_o it_o be_v bless_v to_o see_v a_o saint_n make_v that_o his_o main_a study_n but_o if_o god_n make_v law_n and_o give_v command_n about_o external_a thing_n outward_a thing_n i_o must_v not_o neglect_v that_o neither_o it_o be_v as_o one_o observe_v as_o with_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o world_n they_o both_o see_v the_o misery_n but_o the_o saint_n begin_v to_o study_v the_o cause_n of_o contention_n and_o the_o old_a say_n be_v happy_a be_v he_o that_o know_v the_o cause_n contention_n one_o cause_n of_o contention_n one_o main_a cause_n of_o contention_n among_o we_o be_v god_n come_v now_o with_o more_o light_n than_o we_o have_v before_o we_o have_v more_o and_o more_o but_o this_o light_n be_v not_o a_o full_a light_n i_o mean_v thus_o this_o light_n come_v and_o shine_v but_o in_o part_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o we_o that_o be_v we_o see_v part_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o part_n we_o see_v not_o and_o while_o we_o learn_v one_o part_n we_o forget_v another_o part_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v ordinary_a among_o christian_n while_o they_o learn_v faith_n and_o justification_n they_o forget_v purity_n and_o holiness_n while_o they_o learn_v church-discipline_n they_o forget_v godliness_n while_o they_o learn_v holiness_n within_o they_o forget_v obedience_n without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n of_o people_n now_o a_o day_n as_o the_o sun_n shine_v on_o the_o earth_n how_o be_v that_o you_o know_v when_o the_o sun_n shine_v in_o our_o horizon_n it_o do_v not_o shine_v to_o the_o other_o end_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v night_n with_o they_o when_o it_o be_v day_n with_o we_o so_o when_o the_o light_n show_v one_o thing_n another_o truth_n be_v lose_v and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o division_n light_n be_v come_v but_o it_o be_v not_o a_o full_a light_n it_o reveal_v not_o all_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o teach_v one_o one_o thing_n and_o another_o another_z we_o see_v not_o all_o together_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n wherein_o man_n mistake_v though_o i_o much_o commend_v they_o for_o their_o prize_v of_o spiritual_a thing_n yet_o if_o their_o be_v a_o real_a command_n of_o god_n in_o outward_a thing_n i_o humble_o beseech_v you_o that_o you_o will_v not_o disdain_v and_o despise_v it_o that_o be_v all_o i_o have_v to_o say_v to_o they_o there_o be_v a_o second_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o mistake_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n law_n 2_o those_o that_o abolish_v the_o moral_n law_n and_o make_v the_o rule_n wide_o than_o it_o be_v those_o that_o go_v far_o than_o those_o that_o be_v that_o do_v not_o only_o slight_a external_a worship_n &_o government_n etc._n etc._n as_o far_o as_o god_n have_v lay_v it_o down_o but_o break_v down_o the_o pale_n even_o to_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n and_o think_v that_o the_o way_n be_v now_o so_o wide_o that_o even_o the_o ten_o commandment_n that_o the_o moral_a law_n itself_o be_v do_v away_o there_o be_v some_o conceive_v so_o but_o concern_v that_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o subject_n that_o i_o can_v prove_v more_o full_o with_o strong_a argument_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o nor_o myself_o now_o and_o i_o show_v before_o how_o christ_n come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o moral_a law_n neither_o for_o that_o use_n that_o paul_n make_v of_o it_o to_o reveal_v sin_n to_o make_v we_o esteem_v of_o christ_n or_o to_o be_v a_o light_n the_o spirit_n be_v within_o for_o they_o be_v not_o contradictory_n as_o some_o simple_o think_v and_o speak_v but_o the_o spirit_n within_o and_o the_o law_n without_o be_v a_o lantern_n only_o the_o damnation_n be_v go_v but_o there_o be_v other_o motive_n to_o obey_v it_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v but_o the_o law_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o pass_v so_o now_o you_o see_v two_o sort_n and_o i_o hope_v if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o here_o that_o they_o will_v also_o take_v their_o share_n for_o if_o every_o one_o will_v here_o with_o humility_n and_o take_v his_o part_n i_o hope_v there_o will_v soon_o be_v a_o end_n of_o most_o of_o our_o contention_n the_o three_o sort_n go_v far_o than_o those_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n spirit_n 3_o those_o that_o allow_v outward_a profaneness_n &_o only_o serve_v god_n in_o their_o spirit_n they_o make_v it_o so_o broad_a this_o all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a that_o not_o only_o in_o point_n of_o government_n or_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o those_o that_o hold_v against_o the_o moral_a law_n they_o hold_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v the_o thing_n but_o not_o upon_o the_o same_o motive_n they_o hold_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o be_v whoremonger_n and_o drunkard_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o three_o sort_n say_v if_o we_o worship_v god_n in_o our_o spirit_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n what_o we_o do_v with_o our_o body_n we_o may_v worship_n god_n in_o our_o spirit_n and_o go_v to_o mass_n and_o do_v any_o thing_n the_o body_n be_v but_o as_o a_o tool_n in_o a_o carpenter_n hand_n it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o while_n to_o confute_v those_o i_o can_v give_v many_o reason_n to_o the_o contrary_n christ_n have_v redeem_v soul_n and_o body_n therefore_o we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o both_o and_o you_o know_v the_o soul_n and_o body_n that_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n shall_v be_v damn_v the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o therefore_o the_o body_n have_v need_v to_o look_v to_o it_o as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n and_o we_o be_v command_v to_o bear_v witness_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n how_o can_v we_o do_v it_o if_o the_o body_n may_v do_v any_o thing_n we_o need_v never_o suffer_v persecution_n as_o all_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n must_v if_o i_o will_v be_v content_a to_o serve_v christ_n in_o my_o soul_n only_o i_o will_v not_o suffer_v persecution_n i_o will_v go_v to_o mass_n and_o swear_v and_o be_v drink_v etc._n etc._n again_o we_o be_v call_v to_o be_v like_o christ_n and_o he_o be_v holy_a in_o soul_n and_o body_n how_o can_v we_o be_v like_o he_o if_o we_o will_v be_v holy_a in_o our_o soul_n only_o and_o not_o in_o our_o body_n nay_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v that_o be_v if_o the_o soul_n be_v holy_a the_o body_n will_v be_v so_o too_o if_o there_o be_v wickedness_n in_o the_o heart_n there_o must_v be_v wickedness_n in_o the_o body_n and_o if_o there_o be_v holiness_n in_o the_o soul_n there_o will_v be_v also_o in_o the_o body_n if_o any_o hold_v a_o opinion_n to_o make_v contention_n by_o it_o let_v they_o take_v it_o as_o a_o admonition_n from_o the_o lord_n to_o consider_v what_o they_o do_v thus_o you_o see_v the_o error_n on_o the_o lefthand_n as_o i_o desire_v power_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o tell_v you_o what_o think_v so_o i_o desire_v that_o you_o will_v endeavour_v to_o understand_v the_o error_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n be_v contrary_a to_o this_o hand_n 2_o error_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n when_o as_o paul_n say_v all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a as_o the_o one_o make_v it_o universal_a that_o every_o thing_n be_v lawful_a so_o the_o other_o make_v nothing_o lawful_a almost_o my_o meaning_n be_v this_o they_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n have_v a_o old_a testament_n spirit_n mark_v that_o word_n for_o from_o thence_o be_v the_o contention_n have_v a_o spirit_n not_o suitable_a to_o the_o new_a testament_n though_o mistake_v i_o not_o they_o differ_v but_o in_o degree_n chief_o and_o principal_o they_o make_v law_n and_o tie_n and_o bond_n and_o knot_n and_o knack_n and_o many_o ridiculous_a thing_n to_o tie_v and_o bind_v themselves_o where_o christ_n jesus_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v not_o bind_v they_o and_o hence_o come_v chief_o the_o contention_n and_o controversy_n of_o these_o time_n between_o two_o sort_n of_o people_n you_o know_v who_o they_o be_v though_o i_o constant_o conceive_v that_o in_o the_o thing_n themselves_o the_o one_o may_v be_v in_o when_o the_o other_o be_v out_o and_o the_o other_o may_v be_v in_o when_o they_o be_v out_o the_o one_o party_n may_v be_v in_o in_o something_n &_o the_o other_o may_v be_v in_o when_o they_o be_v wrong_v in_o something_n yet_o though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o
to_o another_o duty_n and_o there_o be_v guilt_n arise_v from_o that_o they_o do_v one_o thing_n when_o their_o conscience_n tell_v they_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v another_o as_o for_o instance_n it_o be_v your_o duty_n to_o pray_v morning_n and_o evening_n in_o your_o family_n it_o be_v so_o and_o more_o seven_o time_n a_o day_n if_o you_o can_v but_o you_o make_v all_o thing_n lawful_a you_o will_v do_v nothing_o upon_o expediency_n you_o make_v it_o so_o of_o necessity_n that_o if_o you_o miss_v in_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o you_o sin_n as_o for_o instance_n you_o have_v take_v apart_o your_o family_n to_o pray_v and_o you_o be_v call_v at_o that_o time_n to_o relieve_v a_o poor_a man_n and_o though_o you_o have_v do_v a_o better_a deed_n yet_o because_o you_o bind_v yourselves_o where_o god_n have_v not_o bind_v you_o there_o be_v guilt_n on_o your_o conscience_n so_o you_o make_v another_o law_n to_o read_v chapter_n twice_o a_o day_n you_o have_v bind_v yourselves_o and_o you_o sin_n if_o you_o do_v it_o not_o but_o a_o great_a duty_n come_v that_o be_v worth_a the_o read_n often_o chapter_n yet_o because_o you_o neglect_v that_o you_o sin_n and_o carry_v guilt_n on_o you_o so_o three_o part_n of_o four_o of_o your_o guilt_n it_o arise_v from_o ignorance_n you_o know_v not_o which_o god_n will_v have_v i_o pray_v when_o i_o shall_v read_v or_o i_o preach_v when_o i_o shall_v pray_v or_o when_o i_o shall_v do_v good_a to_o my_o brother_n it_o come_v from_o ignorance_n god_n have_v not_o tie_v we_o to_o the_o number_n of_o chapter_n or_o these_o thing_n but_o as_o it_o may_v be_v for_o expediency_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o edification_n of_o our_o brethren_n which_o if_o you_o do_v know_v when_o a_o great_a duty_n come_v you_o will_v take_v it_o in_o hand_n so_o you_o make_v a_o law_n you_o must_v begin_v read_v with_o prayer_n it_o be_v sin_n to_o read_v without_o pray_v it_o be_v convenient_a to_o pray_v at_o all_o time_n but_o if_o you_o make_v it_o a_o absolute_a law_n there_o will_v be_v guilt_n upon_o your_o conscience_n when_o you_o omit_v it_o though_o the_o occasion_n be_v never_o so_o great_a labour_v to_o know_v your_o christian_a liberty_n shall_v i_o go_v a_o little_a further_o other_o ignorance_n of_o christian_a liberty_n hindere_fw-la from_o win_v other_o for_o the_o want_n of_o know_v and_o understand_v your_o christian_a liberty_n there_o be_v this_o misery_n that_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o win_v the_o soul_n of_o other_o why_o so_o because_o you_o have_v tie_v yourselves_o hand_n and_o foot_n that_o you_o can_v stoop_v to_o win_v soul_n say_v paul_n 1_o cor._n 9_o to_o the_o jew_n i_o become_v as_o a_o jew_n and_o to_o they_o without_o law_n as_o without_o law_n i_o be_v weak_a to_o the_o weak_a i_o be_v all_o thing_n to_o all_o that_o i_o may_v win_v some_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v christ_n have_v give_v i_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o liberty_n to_o this_o end_n that_o i_o may_v accommodate_v and_o apply_v myself_o beware_v of_o mistake_v i_o not_o to_o accommodate_v myself_o to_o my_o own_o end_n to_o please_v my_o lust_n but_o he_o have_v give_v i_o a_o latitude_n to_o stoop_v to_o man_n disposition_n and_o way_n to_o win_v their_o soul_n now_o if_o paul_n religion_n have_v be_v as_o many_o now_o that_o be_v to_o be_v tie_v hand_n and_o foot_n that_o either_o all_o be_v lawful_a or_o unlawful_a he_o will_v not_o have_v bend_v a_o ace_n to_o win_v the_o world_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o know_v our_o liberty_n i_o can_v give_v many_o sad_a instance_n how_o hence_o man_n tie_v knot_n that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o come_v into_o such_o a_o house_n as_o this_o it_o may_v be_v it_o may_v not_o be_v expedient_a but_o they_o make_v it_o absolute_o unlawful_a one_o man_n make_v it_o unlawful_a to_o come_v into_o a_o pulpit_n it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v inexpedient_a but_o they_o will_v not_o have_v it_o lawful_a and_o so_o hundred_o of_o soul_n be_v starve_v they_o make_v tie_n where_o god_n have_v make_v none_o and_o so_o we_o can_v do_v good_a to_o other_o for_o want_n of_o know_v our_o liberty_n last_o let_v we_o study_v to_o know_v our_o liberty_n for_o the_o want_n of_o know_v our_o christian_a liberty_n contention_n ignorance_n of_o christian_a liberty_n the_o cause_n of_o contention_n be_v the_o
