but_o in_o thing_n disputable_a possible_o in_o many_o thing_n indifferent_a as_o if_o heaven_n and_o hell_n do_v hang_v at_o our_o girdle_n as_o if_o those_o be_v in_o a_o damnable_a estate_n who_o

of_o god_n keep_v back_o nothing_o needful_a for_o our_o salvation_n what_o tyranny_n be_v it_o then_o to_o impose_v any_o new_a certain_o doubtful_a matter_n on_o the_o faith_n of_o christian_n especial_o as_o some_o popeling_n daily_o do_v under_o that_o canand_a form_n he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n or_o a_o little_a after_o as_o be_v judge_v there_o be_v twelve_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n but_o now_o we_o have_v more_o creed_n than_o they_o have_v article_n so_o many_o man_n so_o many_o mind_n nay_o so_o many_o opinion_n which_o yet_o be_v far_o from_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n so_o many_o faith_n and_o though_o our_o lord_n jesus_n say_v he_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v be_v save_v we_o now_o can_v be_v save_v but_o by_o believe_v more_o and_o as_o the_o world_n continue_v so_o we_o increase_v in_o our_o belief_n and_o upon_o this_o giddy_a account_n poor_a ignorant_a distract_a sinner_n know_v not_o when_o they_o shall_v believe_v enough_o to_o salvation_n but_o when_o our_o redeemer_n shall_v appear_v he_o will_v not_o prefer_v one_o opinion_n and_o reject_v another_o so_o much_o as_o prefer_v all_o the_o upright_a and_o reject_v all_o the_o hypocrite_n he_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n of_o opinion_n but_o of_o soul_n not_o one_o sheep_n that_o have_v his_o mark_n shall_v be_v leave_v out_o of_o his_o fold_n nor_o one_o child_n that_o bear_v his_o image_n shall_v either_o be_v keep_v or_o thrust_v out_o of_o his_o family_n now_o they_o be_v faith_n and_o love_n singleness_n and_o sincerity_n of_o heart_n six_o remember_v that_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o his_o grave_n wherein_o he_o lie_v but_o the_o throne_n whereon_o he_o sit_v as_o king_n of_o his_o church_n that_o you_o shall_v never_o be_v above_o ordinance_n until_o you_o be_v above_o tentation_n and_o that_o they_o lose_v not_o their_o authority_n because_o sometime_o we_o miss_v their_o influence_n and_o that_o they_o be_v appoint_v not_o only_o to_o bring_v man_n into_o but_o also_o to_o bring_v man_n up_o in_o christ_n the_o bible_n be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v imprint_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n but_o because_o it_o be_v write_v by_o the_o inspiration_n and_o finger_n of_o god_n these_o be_v breast_n though_o sometime_o we_o can_v suck_v or_o milk_n out_o consolation_n from_o they_o for_o otherwise_o every_o time_n we_o have_v new_a affection_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o new_a gospel_n and_o in_o the_o end_n there_o shall_v be_v as_o many_o distinct_a bibles_n as_o there_o be_v new_a experience_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v true_a they_o be_v the_o conduit-pipe_n and_o we_o have_v no_o comfort_n from_o they_o unless_o christ_n convey_v his_o blood_n through_o they_o yet_o shall_v they_o be_v nothing_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n authority_n because_o they_o quoad_fw-la hic_fw-la &_o nunc_fw-la do_v nothing_o upon_o we_o the_o ordinance_n be_v dead_a creature_n only_o to_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a in_o their_o conscience_n and_o be_v not_o alive_a in_o christ_n the_o ordinance_n can_v work_v without_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n ordinary_o will_v not_o work_v without_o the_o ordinance_n wherefore_o christian_n prefer_v not_o the_o letter_n before_o the_o spirit_n neither_o oppose_v the_o spirit_n to_o the_o letter_n as_o the_o manner_n of_o some_o be_v lest_o in_o the_o end_n you_o prove_v neither_o for_o the_o letter_n nor_o the_o spirit_n but_o the_o flesh_n as_o ever_o you_o will_v be_v comfort_v by_o take_v heed_n of_o scoff_v at_o the_o spirit_n quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n in_o yourselves_o grieve_v it_o not_o in_o other_o seven_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o lukewarmness_n let_v we_o not_o spend_v that_o time_n in_o examine_v the_o lamp_n of_o other_o while_o we_o neglect_v to_o get_v oil_n
