be_v do_v to_o person_n without_o their_o consent_n and_o these_o though_o be_v not_o always_o the_o great_a michief_n yet_o they_o be_v the_o great_a injury_n and_o these_o injury_n be_v do_v either_o by_o fraud_n and_o cunning_a or_o by_o violence_n and_o oppression_n either_o by_o overreach_v another_o man_n in_o wit_n or_o over-bearing_a he_o by_o power_n and_o these_o usual_o either_o

health_n either_o by_o fraud_n or_o force_n be_v bind_v so_o far_o as_o he_o be_v able_a to_o make_v reparation_n for_o the_o injury_n or_o they_o respect_v the_o estate_n of_o man_n if_o by_o cunning_a or_o by_o violence_n or_o by_o false_a testimony_n or_o accusation_n thou_o have_v hinder_v a_o man_n of_o any_o benefit_n which_o otherwise_o will_v have_v come_v to_o he_o thou_o be_v

another_o to_o do_v injustice_n to_o his_o neighbour_n thou_o be_v bind_v to_o restitution_n though_o not_o as_o the_o principal_a yet_o as_o the_o accessary_n if_o thou_o have_v overreach_v thy_o brother_n in_o any_o contract_n make_v advantage_n of_o his_o ignorance_n or_o unskilfulness_n if_o thou_o have_v make_v a_o gain_n of_o his_o necessity_n if_o thou_o have_v by_o thy_o power_n and_o interest_n or_o by_o any_o more_o violent_a and_o forcible_a way_n detain_v his_o right_n or_o take_v away_o that_o which_o be_v his_o thou_o be_v bind_v to_o make_v reparation_n for_o these_o injury_n to_o restore_v that_o which_o thou_o have_v borrow_v to_o return_v the_o pledge_n which_o thou_o have_v wrongful_o keep_v to_o release_v unconscionable_a forfeiture_n to_o pay_v debt_n to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o fraud_n and_o cheat_n to_o take_v off_o all_o unjust_a invasion_n and_o surprisal_n of_o estate_n yea_o though_o the_o fraud_n be_v such_o that_o thou_o be_v not_o liable_a to_o make_v satisfaction_n by_o any_o humane_a law_n yet_o thou_o be_v as_o much_o bind_v to_o it_o in_o conscience_n to_o god_n and_o thy_o duty_n as_o if_o thou_o have_v steal_v it_o or_o take_v it_o by_o violence_n from_o thy_o neighbour_n for_o in_o truth_n and_o reality_n fraud_n be_v as_o great_a a_o injury_n as_o violence_n although_o humane_a law_n can_v take_v cognizance_n of_o it_o so_o as_o to_o relieve_v every_o man_n that_o be_v overreach_v in_o a_o bargain_n nay_o of_o the_o two_o it_o be_v worse_o for_o whenever_o thou_o deceive_v a_o man_n in_o this_o kind_n thou_o do_v not_o only_o wrong_v he_o in_o point_n of_o estate_n but_o thou_o abuse_v his_o understanding_n and_o so_o likewise_o in_o respect_n of_o a_o man_n fame_n and_o reputation_n if_o thou_o have_v hurt_v any_o man_n good_a name_n by_o slander_n or_o calumny_n by_o false_a witness_n by_o render_v he_o ridiculous_a or_o any_o other_o way_n thou_o be_v bind_v to_o give_v such_o satisfaction_n as_o the_o thing_n be_v capable_a of_o or_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o injury_n which_o i_o have_v not_o mention_v thou_o be_v oblige_v to_o make_v reparation_n for_o it_o iii_o as_o to_o the_o manner_n how_o restitution_n be_v to_o be_v make_v 1._o thou_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v it_o voluntary_o and_o of_o thy_o own_o accord_n though_o the_o person_n injure_v do_v not_o know_v who_o it_o be_v that_o do_v he_o the_o injury_n though_o he_o do_v not_o seek_v reparation_n by_o law_n when_o a_o man_n be_v force_v by_o law_n to_o make_v restitution_n it_o be_v not_o a_o virtue_n but_o necessity_n this_o be_v not_o a_o fruit_n of_o repentance_n and_o a_o good_a mind_n but_o of_o good_a law_n and_o that_o thou_o do_v not_o do_v it_o unless_o the_o law_n compel_v thou_o to_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n thou_o will_v not_o have_v do_v it_o if_o thou_o can_v have_v avoid_v it_o and_o though_o the_o thing_n be_v do_v yet_o thou_o have_v not_o do_v it_o but_o the_o law_n and_o unless_o thou_o hearty_o repent_v of_o thy_o crime_n the_o injury_n still_o lie_v at_o thy_o door_n and_o in_o god_n account_n thou_o be_v as_o guilty_a as_o if_o no_o restitution_n have_v be_v make_v not_o that_o thou_o be_v bind_v in_o this_o case_n to_o make_v new_a restitution_n over_o again_o but_o thou_o be_v bind_v to_o bewail_v thy_o neglect_n that_o thou_o do_v not_o do_v it_o voluntary_o and_o without_o the_o compulsion_n of_o the_o law_n 2._o thou_o must_v do_v it_o in_o kind_n if_o the_o thing_n be_v capable_a of_o it_o and_o the_o injure_a party_n demand_v it_o thou_o must_v restore_v the_o very_a thing_n which_o thou_o have_v deprive_v thy_o neighbour_n of_o if_o it_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o can_v be_v restore_v and_o be_v still_o in_o thy_o power_n unless_o he_o voluntary_o accept_v of_o some_o other_o thing_n in_o exchange_n 3._o if_o thou_o can_v not_o restore_v it_o in_o kind_n thou_o be_v bind_v to_o restore_v it_o in_o value_n in_o something_o that_o be_v as_o good_a as_o for_o spiritual_a injury_n do_v to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o make_v such_o reparation_n and_o compensation_n as_o we_o can_v those_o who_o we_o have_v draw_v into_o sin_n and_o engage_v in_o wicked_a course_n by_o our_o influence_n and_o example_n or_o by_o neglect_n of_o our_o duty_n towards_o they_o we_o be_v so_o far_o as_o become_v the_o relation_n we_o stand_v in_o to_o they_o to_o make_v acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n to_o endeavour_v by_o our_o instruction_n and_o counsel_n to_o reclaim_v they_o from_o those_o sin_n which_o we_o lead_v they_o into_o and_o to_o recover_v they_o out_o of_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o shall_v never_o be_v at_o rest_n till_o we_o have_v do_v as_o much_o or_o more_o for_o the_o furtherance_n of_o their_o salvation_n and_o help_v they_o forward_o towards_o heaven_n as_o we_o do_v contribute_v before_o to_o their_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n if_o we_o have_v violate_v any_o one_o chastity_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o marry_v they_o if_o it_o be_v do_v upon_o that_o condition_n and_o if_o they_o require_v it_o thou_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v and_o maintain_v those_o child_n which_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o thy_o lust_n and_o to_o make_v reparation_n to_o the_o person_n who_o thou_o have_v injure_v by_o dowry_n or_o otherwise_o if_o thou_o have_v defraud_v and_o injure_v any_o man_n in_o his_o good_a name_n thou_o be_v oblige_v to_o make_v he_o a_o compensation_n by_o acknowledgement_n of_o thy_o fault_n by_o a_o studious_a vindication_n of_o he_o and_o by_o do_v he_o honour_n and_o repair_v his_o credit_n in_o all_o fit_a way_n and_o if_o the_o injury_n be_v irreparable_a as_o it_o frequent_o happen_v that_o we_o can_v hardly_o so_o effectual_o vindicate_v a_o man_n as_o we_o can_v defame_v he_o and_o it_o be_v seldom_o see_v that_o those_o wound_n which_o be_v give_v to_o man_n reputation_n be_v perfect_o heal_v i_o say_v if_o the_o injury_n be_v irreparable_a especial_o if_o it_o prove_v real_o prejudicial_a to_o a_o man_n in_o his_o call_v and_o civil_a interest_n if_o no_o other_o satisfaction_n will_v be_v accept_v it_o be_v to_o be_v make_v in_o money_n which_o solomon_n say_v answer_v all_o thing_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o the_o reason_n and_o equity_n of_o humane_a law_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o assign_v this_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n in_o many_o case_n upon_o action_n of_o scandal_n and_o defamation_n and_o whatever_o the_o law_n will_v give_v in_o any_o case_n if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o be_v the_o least_o we_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o do_v when_o we_o be_v guilty_a to_o our_o self_n though_o the_o law_n can_v take_v hold_n of_o we_o so_o likewise_o if_o thou_o have_v wound_v a_o man_n thou_o be_v bind_v to_o pay_v the_o cure_n to_o repair_v to_o he_o and_o his_o relation_n the_o disability_n for_o his_o call_v and_o his_o way_n of_o livelihood_n and_o subsistance_n which_o he_o have_v contract_v by_o thy_o injury_n and_o so_o for_o false_a imprisonment_n the_o real_a detriment_n which_o come_v to_o he_o by_o it_o be_v to_o be_v make_v amends_o for_o and_o so_o in_o all_o other_o case_n the_o injure_a person_n be_v so_o far_o as_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v restore_v to_o the_o good_a condition_n in_o which_o he_o be_v before_o the_o injury_n iv_o as_o to_o the_o measure_n and_o proportion_n of_o the_o restitution_n we_o be_v to_o make_v zacheus_n here_o offer_v fourfold_a which_o be_v much_o beyond_o what_o any_o law_n require_v in_o like_a case_n the_o measure_n of_o restitution_n by_o the_o

forfeit_v the_o eternal_a inheritance_n which_o be_v not_o purchase_v with_o corruptible_a thing_n but_o with_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o if_o this_o consideration_n which_o be_v the_o weighty_a in_o the_o world_n will_v not_o prevail_v with_o man_n i_o can_v only_o say_v with_o the_o angel_n rev._n 22.11_o he_o that_o be_v unjust_a let_v he_o be_v unjust_a still_o let_v he_o continue_v in_o his_o injustice_n at_o his_o peril_n and_o remember_v what_o be_v add_v at_o the_o 12_o verse_n behold_v i_o come_v quick_o and_o my_o reward_n be_v with_o i_o to_o give_v to_o every_o man_n according_a as_o his_o work_n shall_v be_v ii_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o child_n and_o posterity_n it_o be_v great_o our_o interest_n to_o make_v restitution_n god_n many_o time_n suffer_v a_o estate_n get_v by_o oppression_n to_o prosper_v for_o a_o little_a while_n but_o there_o be_v a_o curse_n attend_v it_o which_o descend_v upon_o the_o estate_n like_o a_o encumbrance_n and_o parent_n many_o time_n when_o they_o think_v they_o entail_v a_o estate_n they_o entail_v poverty_n upon_o their_o child_n job_n 20.10_o speak_v of_o the_o child_n of_o the_o

to_o he_o that_o covet_v a_o evil_a covetousness_n or_o gain_v a_o evil_a gain_n to_o his_o house_n etc._n etc._n thou_o think_v to_o raise_v thy_o family_n by_o those_o way_n but_o thou_o have_v consult_v shame_n to_o thy_o house_n no_o such_o effectual_a way_n to_o ruin_n thy_o family_n as_o injustice_n and_o oppression_n as_o than_o you_o will_v not_o transmit_v a_o curse_n to_o your_o child_n and_o devolve_v misery_n upon_o your_o family_n free_a your_o estate_n from_o the_o burden_n and_o weight_n of_o what_o be_v other_o man_n lest_o by_o god_n just_a judgement_n and_o secret_a providence_n that_o little_a which_o you_o injurious_o detain_v from_o other_o carry_v away_o your_o whole_a estate_n to_o they_o and_o their_o family_n god_n providence_n many_o time_n make_v abundant_a restitution_n when_o we_o will_v not_o have_v now_o endeavour_v to_o satisfy_v man_n that_o it_o be_v their_o true_a interest_n to_o make_v restitution_n for_o the_o injury_n they_o have_v do_v to_o other_o it_o remain_v only_o that_o i_o shall_v answer_v a_o objection_n or_o two_o which_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o make_v against_o this_o duty_n first_o man_n say_v they_o be_v ashamed_a to_o do_v it_o ans_fw-fr it_o be_v not_o matter_n of_o shame_n but_o of_o praise_n and_o commendation_n but_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o will_v say_v it_o be_v matter_n of_o shame_n to_o have_v injure_v another_o and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o lay_v open_a thy_o shame_n indeed_o if_o the_o injury_n be_v public_a the_o restitution_n ought_v to_o be_v so_o too_o as_o the_o only_a way_n to_o take_v off_o the_o shame_n of_o the_o injury_n for_o thy_o restitution_n do_v not_o in_o this_o case_n publish_v thy_o shame_n but_o thy_o honesty_n but_o if_o the_o injury_n be_v private_a thou_o may_v preserve_v thy_o own_o credit_n by_o conceal_v thyself_o and_o provide_v thou_o do_v the_o thing_n effectual_o thou_o may_v be_v as_o prudent_a as_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o do_v it_o as_o thou_o please_v second_o another_o objection_n be_v the_o prejudice_n it_o will_v be_v to_o man_n estate_n but_o this_o i_o have_v answer_v already_o by_o show_v that_o it_o be_v more_o their_o interest_n to_o make_v restitution_n than_o to_o continue_v in_o the_o sin_n i_o shall_v only_o add_v that_o as_o our_o saviour_n reason_n in_o another_o case_n it_o be_v profitable_a for_o thou_o that_o one_o of_o thy_o member_n shall_v perish_v rather_o than_o that_o thy_o whole_a body_n shall_v be_v cast_v into_o hell_n it_o be_v true_a likewise_o here_o it_o be_v profitable_a for_o thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v go_v a_o beggar_n to_o heaven_n rather_o than_o that_o thou_o shall_v go_v to_o hell_n lade_v with_o the_o spoil_n and_o gild_n of_o rapine_n and_o injustice_n three_o the_o last_o objection_n that_o i_o shall_v mention_v be_v disability_n to_o make_v restitution_n this_o indeed_o be_v something_o where_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v have_v every_o man_n must_v lose_v his_o right_n but_o then_o remember_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o hearty_a repentance_n for_o the_o sin_n and_o thy_o sorrow_n must_v be_v so_o much_o great_a by_o how_o much_o thy_o ability_n to_o make_v restitution_n be_v less_o and_o there_o must_v be_v a_o willing_a mind_n a_o firm_a purpose_n and_o resolution_n of_o do_v it_o when_o god_n shall_v enable_v thou_o and_o diligent_a endeavour_n to_o that_o purpose_n under_o the_o law_n those_o who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v restitutution_n be_v sell_v for_o six_o year_n if_o their_o service_n do_v not_o make_v reparation_n in_o less_o time_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o the_o moderation_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o suffer_v christian_n to_o deal_v so_o hardly_o with_o one_o another_o but_o if_o the_o gospel_n remit_v of_o this_o rigour_n and_o do_v not_o allow_v christian_n to_o challange_n it_o we_o shall_v voluntary_o do_v in_o effect_n that_o which_o they_o be_v force_v to_o that_o be_v we_o shall_v use_v our_o best_a endeavour_n and_o diligence_n to_o put_v ourselves_o into_o a_o condition_n of_o make_v satisfaction_n and_o we_o shall_v not_o look_v upon_o any_o thing_n beyond_o the_o necessary_a convenience_n of_o life_n as_o our_o own_o till_o we_o have_v do_v it_o unless_o the_o party_n injure_v will_v recede_v from_o his_o right_n in_o whole_a or_o in_o part_n for_o though_o the_o impossibility_n of_o the_o thing_n do_v discharge_v we_o for_o the_o present_a yet_o the_o obligation_n still_o lie_v upon_o we_o to_o do_v it_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v able_a and_o here_o it_o will_v be_v proper_a to_o consider_v the_o case_n of_o those_o who_o have_v compound_v with_o their_o creditor_n for_o a_o small_a part_n whether_o they_o be_v in_o conscience_n and_o equity_n release_v from_o the_o whole_a debt_n i_o be_o loath_a to_o lay_v unnecessary_a burden_n upon_o man_n conscience_n therefore_o i_o be_o very_o tender_a in_o resolve_v such_o case_n but_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o more_o tender_a care_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n than_o of_o their_o estate_n therefore_o to_o deal_v plain_o and_o to_o discharge_v my_o conscience_n in_o this_o matter_n i_o think_v such_o person_n do_v notwithstanding_o the_o composition_n stand_v oblige_v in_o equity_n and_o conscience_n for_o the_o whole_a debt_n and_o be_v bind_v to_o discharge_v it_o so_o soon_o as_o they_o can_v with_o tolerable_a convenience_n my_o reason_n be_v because_o though_o they_o be_v discharge_v in_o law_n yet_o the_o law_n do_v not_o intend_v to_o take_v off_o the_o obligation_n of_o conscience_n or_o equity_n which_o they_o be_v under_o but_o leave_v that_o as_o it_o find_v it_o thus_o the_o case_n stand_v man_n who_o be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o trade_n be_v engage_v by_o the_o necessity_n of_o their_o call_n to_o venture_v a_o great_a part_n of_o their_o estate_n in_o other_o man_n hand_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n become_v liable_a many_o time_n to_o be_v undo_v without_o their_o own_o fault_n therefore_o it_o be_v usual_a when_o any_o man_n in_o a_o way_n of_o trade_n become_v disable_v for_o the_o creditor_n to_o make_v such_o a_o composition_n with_o he_o as_o his_o estate_n will_v bear_v and_o upon_o this_o composition_n to_o give_v he_o a_o full_a discharge_n so_o as_o that_o they_o can_v afterward_o by_o law_n require_v of_o he_o the_o remainder_n of_o their_o debt_n now_o though_o this_o be_v a_o favour_n to_o the_o debtor_n yet_o it_o be_v principal_o intend_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o creditor_n because_o it_o be_v his_o act_n it_o be_v to_o be_v presume_v that_o he_o intend_v it_o as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v for_o his_o own_o advantage_n and_o so_o it_o be_v for_o the_o creditor_n have_v as_o much_o satisfaction_n at_o present_a as_o can_v be_v have_v and_o the_o debtor_n be_v hereby_o leave_v in_o a_o capacity_n of_o recover_v himself_o again_o by_o his_o industry_n and_o diligence_n which_o can_v not_o be_v if_o he_o be_v not_o full_o discharge_v for_o if_o he_o be_v still_o liable_a for_o the_o rest_n he_o will_v continual_o be_v obnoxious_a to_o imprisonment_n which_o will_v render_v he_o incapable_a of_o follow_v his_o call_n or_o if_o he_o be_v at_o liberty_n he_o can_v have_v no_o credit_n to_o enable_v he_o to_o do_v
