all_o such_o instance_n we_o be_v transgressor_n and_o though_o our_o cause_n be_v very_o good_a and_o our_o end_n very_o allowable_a yet_o since_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o we_o will_v accomplish_v those_o end_n be_v unwarrantable_a the_o whole_a action_n though_o proceed_v from_o never_o so_o much_o zeal_n for_o god_n be_v very_a bad._n for_o true_a zeal_n as_o it_o always_o suppose_v a_o right_a information_n of_o judgement_n as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o so_o likewise_o it_o suppose_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v act_v in_o honest_a way_n and_o endeavour_v to_o attain_v his_o end_n by_o lawful_a mean_n and_o thus_o have_v i_o lay_v before_o you_o the_o property_n and_o character_n of_o that_o zeal_n which_o be_v according_a to_o knowledge_n which_o be_v the_o three_o and_o

especial_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n all_o that_o remain_v now_o be_v to_o make_v some_o brief_a application_n of_o my_o text_n with_o reference_n to_o the_o business_n of_o the_o day_n these_o word_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o jew_n but_o the_o character_n here_o give_v of_o they_o do_v so_o well_o fit_a a_o sort_n of_o man_n who_o fiery_a zeal_n for_o god_n and_o their_o religion_n give_v occasion_n to_o the_o solemnity_n of_o this_o day_n that_o it_o look_v as_o if_o it_o be_v make_v for_o they_o it_o be_v the_o bigot_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o i_o mean_v to_o who_o we_o must_v do_v the_o same_o right_n that_o st._n paul_n here_o do_v his_o countryman_n we_o must_v bear_v they_o record_n that_o they_o have_v a_o zeal_n of_o god_n but_o not_o according_a to_o knowledge_n zealous_a they_o be_v sufficient_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v no_o body_n doubt_v of_o it_o but_o as_o for_o their_o zeal_n be_v according_a to_o knowledge_n there_o be_v great_a reason_n to_o doubt_v they_o be_v as_o faulty_a in_o that_o point_n as_o st._n paul_n countryman_n be_v indeed_o if_o you_o be_v to_o draw_v the_o comparison_n between_o the_o jewish_a and_o the_o popish_a zealot_n as_o to_o all_o the_o several_a particular_n that_o our_o saviour_n and_o st._n paul_n take_v notice_n of_o as_o instance_n of_o blind_a zeal_n in_o the_o former_a you_o will_v find_v in_o all_o those_o particular_n both_o their_o zeal_n to_o be_v much_o of_o a_o piece_n not_o only_o as_o to_o the_o fervour_n but_o as_o to_o the_o blindness_n of_o they_o be_v it_o a_o instance_n of_o ignorant_a zeal_n in_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o set_v up_o their_o tradition_n to_o the_o disparagement_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n i_o pray_v who_o be_v those_o that_o disparage_v the_o holy_a scripture_n by_o set_v their_o tradition_n upon_o a_o equal_a foot_n with_o they_o be_v the_o jew_n to_o be_v blame_v for_o that_o they_o be_v so_o zealous_a for_o their_o old_a religion_n as_o to_o oppose_v that_o reformation_n of_o it_o which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n endeavour_v to_o introduce_v among_o they_o because_o they_o think_v it_o be_v a_o innovation_n i_o pray_v who_o be_v those_o who_o upon_o that_o very_a ground_n oppose_v all_o reformation_n at_o this_o day_n though_o yet_o the_o wise_a and_o best_a man_n among_o themselves_o be_v sufficient_o sensible_a that_o there_o be_v great_a corruption_n both_o in_o their_o doctrine_n and_o worship_n be_v it_o a_o fault_n in_o the_o jewish_a zeal_n that_o it_o place_v religion_n too_o much_o in_o ceremony_n and_o formality_n in_o wash_v cup_n and_o platter_n in_o tithing_n mint_n and_o cummin_n and_o the_o like_a to_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o weighty_a matter_n of_o the_o law_n justice_n and_o mercy_n
