that_o do_v slander_v he_o in_o this_o very_a point_n as_o be_v more_o than_o likely_a as_o you_o may_v easy_o perceive_v in_o rom._n 3._o 31._o by_o his_o speech_n there_o as_o by_o way_n of_o

null_a the_o moral_a law_n by_o his_o preach_n of_o faith_n nor_o yet_o by_o his_o believe_v it_o therefore_o o_o you_o antinomian_n detest_v your_o curse_a tenet_n for_o the_o best_a of_o we_o do_v

all_o even_o the_o best_a of_o we_o need_v of_o a_o guide_n for_o god_n have_v ordain_v outward_a mean_n as_o well_o as_o inward_a for_o the_o edify_n of_o his_o saint_n and_o if_o we_o retain_v the_o

beware_v lest_o you_o have_v unaware_o admit_v of_o some_o jesuitical_a spirit_n i_o will_v note_v one_o thing_n more_o out_o of_o that_o in_o mat._n 5._o 17._o viz._n that_o our_o saviour_n join_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n together_o and_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o come_v to_o destroy_v the_o law_n or_o the_o prophet_n why_o will_v you_o understand_v one_o of_o they_o in_o the_o spiritual_a sense_n only_o and_o the_o other_o in_o the_o literal_a only_o for_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v all_o conclude_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o literal_a sense_n that_o their_o prophecy_n that_o be_v write_v shall_v last_v no_o long_o than_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o law_n also_o that_o be_v write_v that_o our_o saviour_n mean_v and_o

26._o and_o 2_o chron._n 19_o 1._o therefore_o be_v wrath_n upon_o thou_o from_o before_o the_o lord_n for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v conclude_v with_o saint_n paul_n and_o say_v i_o be_o under_o the_o law_n to_o christ_n 1_o cor._n 9_o 21._o for_o he_o in_fw-la almost_o all_o his_o epistle_n bring_v some_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n against_o they_o dehort_v they_o from_o sin_n contain_v in_o it_o as_o for_o this_o moral_a law_n it_o bring_v to_o we_o no_o curse_n that_o rule_n may_v still_v we_o awe_n
as_o some_o expositor_n affirm_v and_o yet_o they_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a therefore_o this_o be_v no_o true_a infallible_a sign_n neither_o six_o be_v you_o not_o as_o forward_o to_o corporal_a pride_n as_o the_o presbyterial_n too_o although_o i_o think_v you_o be_v not_o so_o sick_a of_o the_o fashion_n as_o some_o of_o the_o presbyterial_n be_v seven_o be_v you_o not_o more_o obstinate_a in_o your_o way_n of_o separation_n after_o conviction_n than_o the_o presbyterial_n be_v i_o wish_v i_o can_v not_o just_o complain_v of_o this_o for_o i_o have_v know_v many_o when_o they_o have_v yield_v in_o many_o chief_a thing_n in_o their_o way_n of_o separation_n and_o yet_o will_v go_v on_o still_o in_o their_o way_n of_o division_n so_o that_o with_o you_o be_v wilful_a obstinacy_n also_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v this_o to_o excuse_v the_o presbyterial_n from_o many_o sin_n no_o i_o blame_v ourselves_o exceed_o too_o but_o this_o be_v the_o main_a thing_n which_o i_o aim_v at_o to_o beat_v down_o man_n from_o esteem_v of_o themselves_o above_o that_o which_o they_o be_v and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o point_n also_o some_o have_v such_o shallow-head_n and_o gnat_n about_o their_o ear_n i_o think_v their_o heart_n be_v dead_a where_o be_v their_o hope_n their_o fear_n now_o far_o you_o say_v that_o many_o of_o our_o side_n be_v ignorant_a in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o live_v loose_o in_o their_o conversation_n it_o be_v true_a they_o do_v so_o and_o you_o say_v they_o be_v proud_a and_o scornful_a in_o their_o carriage_n to_o their_o inferior_n and_o think_v to_o have_v other_o to_o stoop_v to_o they_o because_o of_o their_o gay-cloath_n and_o big_a look_n they_o have_v many_o of_o they_o much_o of_o this_o world_n good_a but_o yet_o they_o have_v little_a or_o no_o virtue_n in_o they_o the_o which_o be_v that_o which_o be_v worthy_a of_o the_o true_a respect_n and_o not_o a_o bare_a title_n in_o this_o i_o will_v not_o dissent_v from_o you_o but_o will_v conclude_v that_o a_o wise_a man_n will_v not_o much_o respect_n any_o thing_n that_o be_v but_o a_o adjunct_n of_o a_o man_n and_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o man_n for_o dives_fw-la be_v gay_a and_o have_v this_o world_n good_n but_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o any_o whit_n the_o better_o esteem_v of_o god_n but_o hell_n must_v be_v the_o place_n of_o such_o a_o one_o ease_n but_o yet_o these_o with_o we_o may_v have_v some_o save_a grace_n in_o they_o for_o you_o must_v endeavour_v to_o distinguish_v degree_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a otherwise_o you_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o make_v a_o true_a conclusion_n and_o true_o this_o be_v a_o great_a reason_n for_o i_o to_o conclude_v that_o your_o leader_n be_v either_o ignorant_a of_o these_o thing_n or_o else_o they_o keep_v you_o blind_a on_o purpose_n that_o so_o you_o may_v remain_v separatist_n still_o you_o may_v know_v that_o those_o that_o have_v this_o world_n good_n be_v liable_a to_o many_o temptation_n which_o other_o inferior_a people_n be_v more_o free_a from_o and_o though_o they_o themselves_o fail_v as_o much_o another_o way_n perhaps_o too_o have_v you_o never_o see_v a_o

more_o vain_a than_o those_o who_o he_o before_o count_v wicked_a fail_n see_v how_o good_a david_n fail_v in_o godliness_n when_o great_a temptation_n encounter_v he_o as_o be_v at_o rest_n in_o his_o kingdom_n of_o wealth_n walk_v and_o solace_v himself_o upon_o his_o house_n top_n and_o have_v such_o a_o object_n of_o carnal_a delight_n and_o that_o sin_n do_v occasion_n another_o as_o

the_o more_o tolerable_a and_o therefore_o he_o adventure_v upon_o the_o cut_n off_o of_o uriah_n that_o so_o he_o may_v take_v she_o to_o be_v his_o wife_n to_o cover_v the_o sin_n from_o be_v know_v to_o be_v short_a they_o be_v more_o liable_a to_o carnality_n and_o vanity_n than_o many_o other_o man_n be_v although_o they_o have_v save_v grace_n in_o they_o but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o for_o

to_o think_v of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a trial_n indeed_o and_o especial_o if_o man_n have_v not_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o grace_n but_o yet_o i_o hope_v we_o do_v consider_v that_o god_n
