they_o if_o this_o be_v practise_v we_o shall_v not_o so_o much_o fall_v out_o into_o distemper_n passion_n froward_a speech_n and_o unjust_a action_n against_o one_o another_o second_o if_o when_o we_o have_v wrong_v man_n we_o will_v acknowledge_v the_o wrong_n to_o the_o party_n offend_v it_o will_v be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o pacify_v their_o heart_n and_o to_o make_v they_o think_v well_o of_o we_o and_o to_o affect_v we_o notwithstanding_o the_o wrong_n do_v unto_o they_o and_o if_o we_o will_v grieve_v ourselves_o because_o we_o have_v greeve_v they_o and_o offend_v they_o it_o will_v be_v a_o special_a mean_n to_o make_v the_o party_n wrong_v to_o send_v up_o many_o a_o hearty_a prayer_n unto_o god_n for_o the_o offendor_n that_o he_o will_v vouchsafe_v to_o forgive_v he_o as_o well_o as_o himself_o and_o this_o benefit_n will_v confession_n of_o wrong_n do_v to_o the_o party_n it_o will_v make_v our_o foe_n to_o become_v our_o faithful_a and_o love_a friend_n three_o if_o we_o do_v use_v to_o confess_v the_o wrong_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o have_v do_v a_o wrong_n it_o will_v make_v we_o beware_v and_o take_v heed_n of_o commit_v of_o wrong_n again_o for_o if_o the_o

injury_n to_o god_n but_o also_o to_o my_o husband_n this_o will_v make_v the_o wife_n ashamed_a and_o so_o by_o that_o mean_n break_v the_o neck_n of_o sin_n and_o it_o work_v humility_n in_o one_o soul_n so_o that_o one_o shall_v have_v little_a lust_n to_o fall_v out_o and_o to_o wrong_v one_o again_o now_o fith_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o confess_v and_o acknowledge_v the_o wrong_n do_v to_o man_n unto_o god_n but_o we_o must_v confess_v it_o to_o the_o party_n offend_v it_o serve_v first_o for_o reproof_n of_o such_o person_n that_o come_v to_o this_o point_n that_o if_o they_o have_v wrong_v any_o one_o they_o will_v confess_v it_o to_o god_n and_o so_o think_v they_o have_v do_v enough_o but_o they_o must_v as_o well_o perform_v it_o to_o man_n as_o well_o as_o to_o god_n for_o the_o plaster_n ought_v to_o go_v as_o far_o as_o the_o sore_a oh_o but_o what_o need_v there_o be_v any_o confession_n to_o man_n when_o we_o have_v confess_v it_o to_o god_n for_o none_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n but_o you_o must_v not_o only_o repent_v to_o god_n in_o heaven_n but_o also_o ask_v forgiveness_n of_o man_n on_o earth_n or_o else_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o forgive_v it_o for_o hypocrite_n may_v do_v the_o one_o as_o judas_n saul_n etc._n etc._n but_o those_o which_o be_v true_o upright_o will_v perform_v they_o both_o but_o such_o as_o neglect_v this_o duty_n to_o man_n as_o well_o as_o perform_v it_o to_o god_n argue_v they_o be_v in_o love_n with_o their_o sin_n and_o loath_a to_o have_v their_o nature_n heal_v and_o their_o sin_n pardon_v second_o it_o serve_v for_o instruction_n that_o therefore_o we_o shall_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o wrong_v any_o one_o for_o this_o will_v follow_v confession_n and_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o fault_n not_o only_o to_o god_n but_o the_o party_n offend_v for_o until_o we_o confess_v the_o wrong_n to_o the_o party_n and_o get_v reconciliation_n with_o he_o we_o must_v not_o look_v god_n in_o the_o face_n nor_o can_v have_v entertainment_n to_o any_o of_o god_n ordinance_n as_o the_o word_n sacrament_n prayer_n for_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o love_n feast_n for_o the_o sheep_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o for_o wraul_a dog_n now_o if_o the_o husband_n have_v give_v any_o angry_a and_o churlish_a speech_n to_o his_o wife_n whereby_o she_o have_v take_v they_o to_o heart_n and_o trouble_v her_o mind_n let_v he_o confess_v the_o fault_n to_o she_o before_o he_o approach_v never_o unto_o god_n in_o any_o of_o his_o service_n so_o if_o the_o wife_n have_v wrong_v the_o husband_n the_o child_n the_o parent_n the_o servant_n the_o master_n or_o any_o one_o one_o another_o let_v they_o humble_v themselves_o who_o soever_o be_v guilty_a and_o acknowledge_v the_o fault_n to_o the_o party_n offend_v and_o so_o get_v reconciliation_n or_o else_o we_o can_v lift_v up_o pure_a hand_n without_o wrath_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v ob._n ob._n oh_o but_o he_o who_o i_o have_v

a_o willing_a heart_n to_o ask_v forgiveness_n if_o he_o be_v in_o the_o country_n as_o also_o if_o thou_o do_v resolve_v within_o thy_o own_o soul_n that_o if_o ever_o the_o party_n offend_v return_n

as_o we_o see_v this_o prodigal_a child_n before_o there_o be_v no_o place_n in_o the_o family_n good_a enough_o and_o now_o there_o be_v no_o place_n in_o the_o house_n that_o be_v bad_a enough_o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n to_o be_v son_n to_o such_o a_o godly_a father_n this_o we_o may_v see_v prove_v out_o of_o the_o example_n of_o all_o holy_a man_n when_o they_o come_v to_o repentance_n as_o jacob_n i_o be_o less_o than_o the_o lest_o of_o thy_o mercy_n nehemiah_n ezra_n daniel_n they_o be_v ashamed_a and_o confound_v in_o their_o face_n and_o that_o shame_n and_o

the_o lord_n behold_v i_o be_o vile_a what_o shall_v i_o answer_v thou_o i_o will_v lay_v my_o hand_n upon_o my_o mouth_n etc._n etc._n and_o in_o a_o other_o place_n job_n speak_v when_o he_o come_v

his_o own_o innocency_n and_o paul_n that_o worthy_a apostle_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n when_o he_o come_v to_o repentance_n he_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v call_v a_o

their_o own_o eye_n and_o see_v their_o own_o unworthines_n the_o reason_n to_o prove_v this_o doctrine_n be_v because_o repentance_n open_v our_o eye_n to_o see_v more_o perfect_o god_n glorious_a

punish_v they_o as_o a_o sin_n do_v against_o his_o majesty_n so_o many_o master_n which_o deal_v cruel_o towards_o their_o servant_n because_o they_o be_v poor_a and_o mean_a both_o in_o parentage_n and_o outward_a friend_n they_o care_v not_o what_o wrong_n they_o do_v unto_o they_o and_o how_o bad_a they_o use_v they_o but_o such_o master_n must_v know_v that_o in_o wrong_v their_o poor_a servant_n they_o sin_n against_o god_n and_o howsoever_o their_o servant_n be_v base_a in_o their_o eye_n yet_o they_o may_v be_v member_n of_o christ_n and_o heir_n of_o heaven_n or_o at_o least_o

well_o as_o thou_o and_o if_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o almighty_a than_o they_o touch_v the_o apple_n of_o his_o eye_n and_o better_o it_o be_v a_o millstone_n be_v hang_v about_o your_o

of_o condemnation_n against_o such_o at_o his_o second_o come_n which_o omit_v work_n of_o mercy_n to_o his_o member_n how_o much_o sore_a punishment_n shall_v such_o have_v which_o wrong_a and_o hurt_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n second_o since_o god_n be_v offend_v when_o man_n be_v injure_v it_o serve_v to_o teach_v we_o if_o we_o have_v wrong_v any_o either_o in_o word_n or_o deed_n whether_o it_o be_v husband_n to_o his_o wife_n or_o the_o wife_n towards_o the_o husband_n the_o child_n to_o the_o parent_n servant_n towards_o the_o master_n or_o the_o superior_a to_o the_o inferior_a we_o must_v not_o only_o content_v ourselves_o with_o confess_v our_o fault_n to_o the_o party_n thus_o wrong_v but_o we_o must_v also_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o god_n who_o law_n we_o have_v violate_v and_o break_v as_o david_n do_v when_o he_o have_v commit_v adultery_n with_o bathsheba_n and_o kill_v vriah_n against_o thou_o thou_o only_o have_v i_o sin_v and_o this_o david_n will_v have_v do_v put_v case_n that_o vriah_n shall_v have_v live_v he_o will_v have_v first_o go_v to_o god_n and_o have_v confess_v his_o fault_n before_o he_o will_v have_v go_v to_o vriah_n though_o both_o be_v require_v herein_o many_o be_v very_o faulty_a for_o they_o think_v if_o they_o have_v fall_v out_o with_o their_o neighbour_n and_o be_v make_v friend_n again_o they_o have_v do_v enough_o and_o they_o suppose_v than_o they_o may_v lawful_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n because_o they_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o man_n and_o have_v get_v reconciliation_n with_o those_o which_o they_o have_v offend_v it_o be_v true_a if_o you_o have_v only_o offend_v man_n than_o it_o be_v sufficient_a if_o you_o have_v do_v no_o more_o but_o since_o there_o be_v two_o person_n offend_v the_o person_n of_o god_n and_o the_o person_n of_o man_n therefore_o there_o must_v be_v reconciliation_n get_v of_o both_o and_o the_o fault_n must_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o to_o man_n before_o we_o can_v come_v prepare_o to_o the_o sacrament_n at_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n rob_v another_o by_o the_o way_n side_n and_o from_o he_o take_v his_o purse_n and_o by_o this_o fact_n he_o break_v not_o only_o the_o law_n of_o the_o king_n but_o also_o the_o law_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o the_o offender_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o fault_n to_o the_o party_n rob_v and_o pray_v he_o forgive_v he_o but_o he_o must_v also_o get_v his_o pardon_n from_o the_o king_n who_o law_n he_o have_v break_v or_o else_o it_o may_v be_v he_o may_v die_v for_o his_o trespass_n notwithstanding_o the_o party_n rob_v have_v forgive_v he_o in_o like_a manner_n when_o we_o have_v wrong_v man_n we_o must_v not_o only_o seek_v to_o he_o for_o to_o have_v the_o wrong_n remit_v but_o also_o to_o god_n who_o law_n we_o have_v break_v that_o he_o will_v forgive_v it_o and_o so_o we_o must_v seek_v for_o a_o pardon_n from_o god_n as_o well_o as_o from_o man_n or_o else_o we_o be_v liable_a to_o have_v his_o judgment_n execute_v upon_o us._n the_o want_n of_o this_o duty_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o those_o agreement_n that_o be_v so_o make_v up_o betwixt_o man_n and_o man_n be_v so_o soon_o break_v that_o within_o two_o or_o three_o day_n if_o occasion_n be_v offer_v their_o hatred_n be_v as_o great_a again_o as_o ever_o it_o be_v and_o that_o be_v because_o they_o be_v at_o so_o little_a pain_n and_o so_o small_a charge_n to_o sue_v out_o these_o pardon_n whereas_o if_o they_o buy_v they_o at_o a_o high_a rate_n and_o go_v to_o heaven_n for_o they_o by_o sound_a repentance_n confession_n and_o godly_a sorrow_n they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o hasty_a to_o fall_v out_o with_o their_o neighbour_n again_o and_o the_o neglect_n of_o this_o duty_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o many_o time_n we_o have_v such_o check_n and_o gall_v in_o our_o conscience_n because_o we_o make_v up_o these_o wrong_n offer_v so_o slight_o we_o go_v to_o man_n who_o we_o have_v wrong_v but_o never_o to_o god_n who_o we_o have_v offend_v wherefore_o to_o avoid_v all_o inconvenience_n which_o may_v follow_v upon_o this_o wrong_n do_v let_v we_o be_v exhort_v for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v not_o only_o to_o go_v to_o man_n but_o a_o so_o to_o seek_v to_o god_n for_o a_o acquittance_n for_o have_v a_o pardon_n from_o the_o king_n we_o need_v not_o fear_v the_o arrest_n of_o a_o petty_a constable_n or_o any_o inferior_a officer_n belong_v to_o he_o and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o handle_n of_o this_o point_n and_o against_o thou_o that_o be_v against_o thou_o my_o natural_a parent_n i_o confess_v i_o have_v sin_v from_o hence_o we_o learn_v doct._n 5_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o confess_v our_o sin_n unto_o

this_o duty_n christ_n do_v exhort_v unto_o 24._o math._n 5.23_o 24._o if_o thou_o bring_v thy_o gift_n unto_o the_o altar_n and_o there_o remember_v that_o thy_o brother_n have_v aught_o against_o

if_o the_o party_n offend_v will_v return_v and_o confess_v their_o fault_n for_o if_o they_o perform_v their_o duty_n to_o seek_v reconciliation_n we_o must_v not_o fail_v of_o our_o mercy_n to_o
