the_o maintenance_n of_o peace_n and_o love_n among_o they_o this_o be_v a_o doctrine_n little_o know_v and_o less_o regard_v in_o the_o world_n for_o its_o a_o general_a opinion_n that_o a_o man_n may_v take_v his_o own_o and_o may_v lawful_o stand_v upon_o his_o own_o right_n which_o if_o it_o be_v mean_v general_o in_o all_o case_n be_v most_o false_a nay_o this_o be_v a_o common_a speech_n of_o all_o man_n i_o demand_v but_o my_o right_n and_o i_o will_v not_o loose_v my_o right_n and_o this_o be_v think_v a_o reasonable_a speech_n and_o he_o be_v esteem_v a_o good_a man_n who_o take_v no_o more_o than_o his_o right_n for_o oftentimes_o man_n stand_v so_o strict_o upon_o their_o right_n that_o they_o go_v further_o than_o their_o right_n reach_v but_o this_o be_v a_o very_a carnal_a practice_n and_o control_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o by_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n as_o we_o hear_v afore_o but_o if_o any_o man_n object_n that_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o to_o bind_v we_o because_o he_o be_v the_o mediator_n and_o therefore_o be_v to_o perform_v extraordinary_a obedience_n i_o then_o answer_v that_o not_o only_a christ_n but_o other_o holy_a man_n have_v practise_v this_o duty_n for_o he_o pay_v toll_v not_o only_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o peter_n also_o and_o there_o be_v a_o notable_a example_n of_o this_o duty_n in_o abraham_n who_o when_o his_o brother_n lot_n and_o his_o shepherd_n can_v not_o agree_v be_v content_a to_o depart_v from_o his_o right_n for_o whereas_o he_o be_v the_o elder_n may_v have_v choose_v first_o he_o notwithstanding_o stand_v not_o upon_o that_o but_o bid_v his_o brother_n let_v choose_v whether_o he_o will_v and_o he_o will_v take_v what_o he_o leave_v a_o most_o equal_a christian_n brotherly_a part_n of_o that_o holy_a abraham_n who_o faith_n be_v so_o much_o commend_v in_o the_o scripture_n if_o we_o therefore_o will_v be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n then_o must_v we_o be_v follower_n of_o he_o in_o his_o work_n and_o namely_o in_o this_o we_o must_v oftentimes_o depart_v from_o our_o own_o right_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o duty_n one_o caution_n only_o must_v be_v remember_v namely_o that_o we_o must_v distinguish_v of_o another_o right_a and_o our_o own_o in_o thy_o own_o right_n thou_o may_v yield_v but_o when_o thou_o be_v to_o deal_v for_o another_o man_n thou_o must_v not_o yield_v too_o much_o nor_o be_v too_o lavish_a of_o another_o man_n right_a but_o this_o caution_n hold_v especial_o when_o the_o cause_n be_v not_o we_o but_o god_n or_o his_o church_n for_o when_o it_o be_v such_o a_o truth_n which_o direct_o concern_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n or_o the_o good_a of_o his_o church_n they_o must_v a_o man_n take_v heed_n he_o yield_v not_o without_o warrant_n from_o god_n word_n for_o as_o it_o be_v equity_n often_o to_o yield_v thy_o right_n so_o to_o yield_v in_o god_n cause_n be_v to_o betray_v the_o truth_n if_o therefore_o thou_o may_v not_o give_v another_o man_n right_a from_o he_o without_o his_o consent_n much_o less_o may_v thou_o without_o warrant_n from_o god_n yield_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o of_o his_o right_n from_o he_o this_o duty_n therefore_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v in_o action_n that_o concern_v ourselves_o and_o wherein_o the_o loss_n be_v not_o god_n or_o his_o church_n but_o our_o own_o but_o it_o be_v lamentable_a to_o see_v many_o man_n how_o lavish_a they_o be_v in_o give_v from_o god_n and_o care_v not_o how_o much_o they_o lose_v of_o his_o glory_n but_o stand_v most_o strict_o upon_o their_o own_o point_n and_o will_v not_o yield_v one_o inch_n nor_o loose_v one_o foot_n of_o their_o own_o right_n and_o from_o hence_o come_v so_o many_o suit_n in_o law_n and_o other_o brabble_a contention_n in_o the_o world_n all_o which_o or_o many_o of_o they_o may_v be_v stay_v if_o man_n have_v but_o conscience_n to_o practice_v this_o christian_a equity_n to_o yield_v one_o to_o another_o in_o matter_n of_o their_o own_o and_o of_o small_a moment_n &_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o persuade_v some_o by_o religion_n and_o conscience_n some_o by_o natural_a reason_n and_o policy_n to_o practice_v this_o duty_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o the_o society_n of_o man_n long_o to_o continue_v upon_o the_o earth_n so_o much_o for_o the_o three_o degree_n the_o four_o and_o last_o degree_n of_o private_a equity_n be_v to_o forbear_v and_o to_o forgive_v wrong_n and_o injury_n do_v unto_o we_o in_o word_n or_o deed_n the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a for_o this_o and_o so_o be_v natural_a reason_n which_o teach_v that_o every_o one_o that_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o a_o man_n shall_v forgive_v another_o because_o he_o be_v a_o man_n may_v deserve_v and_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o the_o same_o himself_o and_o therefore_o be_v to_o do_v as_o he_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o but_o especial_o a_o christian_a man_n who_o look_v for_o forgiveness_n at_o god_n hand_n for_o his_o own_o sin_n must_v needs_o forgive_v his_o brother_n so_o that_o to_o a_o christian_a man_n there_o be_v a_o double_a bond_n or_o reason_n to_o tie_v he_o to_o this_o duty_n one_o be_v as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n therefore_o must_v he_o forgive_v he_o that_o offend_v he_o that_o so_o another_o man_n may_v also_o forgive_v he_o when_o he_o offend_v for_o there_o be_v none_o but_o be_v a_o man_n and_o live_v amongst_o man_n he_o must_v needs_o offend_v another_o more_o forcible_a reason_n be_v as_o he_o be_v christian_a therefore_o must_v he_o forgive_v because_o else_o how_o can_v he_o in_o reason_n demand_n or_o pray_v for_o forgiveness_n at_o god_n hand_n for_o many_o thousand_o offence_n of_o his_o own_o and_o those_o exceed_a great_a when_o another_o man_n can_v obtain_v forgiveness_n at_o his_o hand_n for_o a_o few_o small_a offence_n this_o duty_n be_v of_o great_a necessity_n than_o all_o the_o former_a for_o upon_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o depend_v the_o preservation_n of_o peace_n but_o where_o this_o be_v not_o practise_v there_o be_v no_o religion_n no_o conscience_n nor_o salvation_n for_o where_o there_o be_v no_o forgive_n of_o another_o man_n that_o man_n be_v not_o forgive_v at_o god_n hand_n and_o he_o who_o sin_n be_v not_o in_o christ_n forgive_v and_o take_v away_o that_o man_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o damnation_n and_o till_o he_o be_v forgive_v he_o can_v never_o be_v save_v but_o he_o can_v never_o be_v forgive_v till_o he_o forgive_v his_o brother_n and_o so_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o even_o salvation_n itself_o in_o some_o sort_n depend_v upon_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o duty_n yet_o not_o as_o a_o cause_n but_o as_o a_o sign_n or_o a_o effect_n of_o salvation_n for_o this_o be_v not_o true_a that_o every_o one_o who_o forgive_v be_v forgive_v of_o god_n but_o this_o be_v true_a that_o whosoever_o be_v forgive_v of_o god_n will_v forgive_v his_o brother_n so_o then_o neither_o in_o reason_n nor_o in_o religion_n can_v a_o man_n look_v for_o forgiveness_n himself_o unless_o he_o make_v conscience_n to_o forgive_v another_o yea_o god_n have_v make_v every_o man_n a_o judge_n in_o this_o case_n to_o condemn_v himself_o if_o he_o do_v it_o not_o when_o he_o pray_v every_o day_n that_o god_n will_v forgive_v he_o even_o so_o as_o he_o do_v forgive_v other_o yet_o in_o this_o duty_n of_o forgive_a outward_a injury_n two_o caution_n be_v to_o be_v remember_v ●_o that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o a_o man_n be_v not_o to_o forbear_v and_o suffer_v but_o may_v stand_v upon_o his_o guard_n and_o defend_v himself_o from_o the_o injury_n and_o that_o be_v when_o his_o life_n be_v endanger_v as_o when_o a_o man_n be_v assault_v by_o a_o thief_n or_o by_o his_o deadly_a enemy_n who_o seek_v his_o life_n and_o can_v have_v no_o help_n he_o be_v in_o that_o case_n to_o help_v himself_o when_o he_o must_v either_o kill_v or_o be_v kill_v than_o reason_n and_o religion_n bid_v he_o defend_v himself_o &_o be_v in_o that_o case_n that_o a_o man_n can_v have_v the_o magistrate_n help_v that_o bear_v the_o sword_n for_o his_o defence_n god_n put_v for_o that_o time_n the_o sword_n into_o a_o man_n own_o hand_n and_o make_v he_o a_o magistrate_n for_o that_o time_n and_o occasion_n for_o in_o case_n of_o such_o extremity_n god_n allow_v every_o man_n to_o be_v a_o magistrate_n not_o only_o to_o defend_v himself_o but_o even_o to_o kill_v his_o enemy_n if_o it_o be_v impossible_a any_o way_n else_o to_o save_v his_o own_o life_n and_o this_o defence_n of_o a_o man_n self_n hinder_v not_o the_o duty_n of_o forgive_a for_o so_o far_o must_v a_o man_n forbear_v and_o forgive_v that_o he_o
