among_o we_o we_o find_v by_o sad_a and_o woeful_a experience_n but_o will_v to_o god_n that_o not_o only_o those_o who_o pass_v she_o by_o so_o unconcerned_a and_o indifferent_a will_v consider_v how_o unacceptable_a and_o unpleasing_a such_o a_o lukewarm_a treacherous_a temper_n be_v to_o god_n and_o whether_o this_o be_v any_o better_a than_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o he_o before_o man_n but_o also_o those_o and_o those_o especial_o who_o do_v thus_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v open_a at_o least_o if_o not_o to_o widen_v her_o difference_n also_o will_v timely_o consider_v not_o only_o

the_o sinfulness_n of_o it_o there_o be_v nothing_o sure_a that_o can_v more_o easy_o be_v make_v appear_v for_o if_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v promise_v the_o great_a blessing_n to_o those_o that_o be_v peacemaker_n even_o to_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n sure_o than_o we_o may_v from_o hence_o most_o reasonable_o infer_v and_o conclude_v that_o no_o less_o than_o the_o great_a punishment_n and_o curse_n shall_v be_v the_o reward_n and_o portion_n of_o all_o such_o as_o do_v promote_v and_o encourage_v discord_n and_o dissension_n and_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o there_o be_v

of_o this_o they_o will_v not_o thus_o despise_v government_n and_o speak_v evil_a of_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o so_o little_o understand_v the_o forename_a apostle_n have_v take_v all_o the_o

they_o command_v be_v not_o plain_a and_o clear_a to_o they_o and_o therefore_o for_o aught_o they_o know_v may_v be_v unlawful_a as_o if_o he_o have_v foresee_v i_o say_v this_o pretence_n he_o have_v annex_v a_o very_a strong_a reason_n to_o enforce_v their_o obedience_n to_o all_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n which_o be_v this_o for_o they_o watch_v for_o your_o soul_n say_v he_o as_o they_o that_o must_v give_v account_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v more_o at_o large_a thus_o if_o your_o superior_n do_v command_v and_o enjoin_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v

not_o a_o bare_a conceit_n and_o fancy_n that_o the_o thing_n command_v may_v be_v unlawful_a that_o will_v excuse_v your_o disobedience_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o less_o than_o a_o plain_a command_n of_o god_n to_o the_o contrary_a that_o can_v supersede_n the_o command_n of_o your_o governor_n and_o because_o many_o of_o you_o may_v be_v apt_a to_o be_v overmistrustful_a of_o the_o

very_a good_a reason_n for_o the_o thing_n command_v do_v but_o consider_v that_o your_o governor_n be_v place_v over_o you_o by_o god_n himself_o that_o they_o watch_v for_o your_o soul_n their_o main_a business_n be_v to_o see_v that_o you_o lead_v your_o life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n nay_o consider_v further_o that_o they_o must_v all_o give_v a_o account_n unto_o god_n at_o the_o great_a and_o general_a audit_n when_o the_o secret_n of_o all_o heart_n shall_v be_v reveal_v how_o they_o have_v acquit_v themselves_o in_o such_o office_n and_o employment_n and_o therefore_o you_o may_v not_o without_o the_o plain_a reason_n suspect_v their_o good_a intention_n whatsoever_o they_o define_v and_o lay_v down_o they_o define_v not_o only_o for_o you_o but_o for_o themselves_o too_o they_o do_v not_o only_o teach_v other_o but_o themselves_o also_o and_o therefore_o if_o you_o have_v but_o common_a christian_a charity_n for_o your_o governor_n you_o will_v never_o thus_o deny_v obedience_n to_o their_o command_n nor_o withdraw_v yourselves_o from_o the_o communion_n of_o our_o church_n in_o which_o there_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o enjoin_v or_o
