cover_v our_o shame_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o not_o extremity_n but_o equity_n become_v a_o christian_n and_o let_v every_o man_n take_v heed_n of_o this_o as_o he_o will_v be_v know_v to_o be_v a_o christian_n for_o the_o know_a badge_n of_o christianity_n be_v mercifullnes_n the_o more_o merciful_a the_o better_a christian._n for_o he_o have_v taste_v deep_a of_o god_n mercy_n to_o himself_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v merciful_a to_o his_o brother_n and_o the_o worse_a christian_a the_o less_o merciful_a for_o he_o never_o feel_v god_n mercy_n to_o himself_o therefore_o he_o can_v be_v merciful_a to_o his_o brother_n now_o to_o go_v to_o law_n for_o every_o trifle_n or_o to_o steal_v law_n upon_o thy_o brother_n or_o to_o sue_v he_o before_o thou_o offer_v he_o peace_n it_o argue_v a_o hard_a hart_n and_o unmerciful_a and_o far_o from_o this_o duty_n of_o forgive_a but_o to_o be_v loath_a to_o go_v to_o law_n and_o to_o put_v it_o of_o as_o long_o as_o may_v be_v and_o first_o to_o give_v warning_n and_o to_o offer_v peace_n and_o not_o to_o do_v it_o but_o in_o matter_n of_o weight_n it_o argue_v a_o merciful_a heart_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v ready_a to_o forgive_v and_o such_o a_o one_o in_o who_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v dwell_v and_o thus_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v open_v this_o duty_n of_o forgive_a and_o forbear_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o a_o christian_a may_v see_v how_o to_o practice_v it_o with_o comfort_n to_o his_o conscience_n also_o without_o any_o great_a loss_n in_o this_o world_n or_o hurt_v to_o his_o estate_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o four_o several_a duduty_n and_o degree_n of_o private_a equity_n now_o have_v open_v the_o nature_n &_o kind_n of_o christian_a equity_n let_v we_o proceed_v further_o in_o the_o

may_v see_v it_o and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v know_v to_o other_o man_n and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o avouch_v for_o we_o that_o our_o deal_n be_v upright_o equal_a and_o indifferent_a join_v with_o equity_n and_o moderation_n and_o free_a from_o extremity_n and_o oppression_n this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o which_o we_o be_v here_o command_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n urge_v we_o to_o make_v it_o know_v be_v because_o there_o be_v a_o privy_a hypocrisy_n in_o our_o nature_n whereby_o we_o be_v give_v to_o make_v show_n of_o more_o than_o be_v in_o us._n against_o which_o vice_n we_o do_v true_o labour_v when_o we_o labour_v to_o make_v our_o virtue_n manifest_a and_o know_v to_o the_o world_n that_o so_o the_o tree_n may_v be_v know_v by_o his_o fruit_n he_o be_v a_o holy_a and_o religious_a man_n not_o who_o know_v and_o can_v talk_v well_o but_o he_o who_o religion_n and_o holiness_n be_v know_v in_o the_o world_n and_o see_v of_o man_n he_o be_v a_o merciful_a man_n of_o who_o mercy_n man_n do_v taste_v so_o he_o be_v a_o equal_a &_o upright_a man_n who_o equity_n be_v feel_v &_o find_v by_o they_o who_o deal_v with_o he_o let_v therefore_o our_o action_n with_o man_n testify_v the_o virtue_n of_o our_o heart_n that_o man_n who_o live_v with_o we_o and_o deal_v with_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o say_v for_o

the_o master_n must_v gentle_o tell_v he_o of_o it_o and_o private_o and_o seldom_o and_o advise_v he_o what_o be_v the_o best_a help_n for_o nature_n in_o this_o case_n and_o though_o he_o see_v

be_v angry_a again_o with_o he_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n christian_a equity_n teach_v a_o man_n not_o to_o see_v it_o nor_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o nor_o to_o be_v angry_a again_o nor_o to_o

without_o betray_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o by_o the_o way_n in_o conference_n hold_v it_o always_o for_o a_o rule_n of_o christian_a wisdom_n and_o private_a equity_n never_o to_o stick_v stiff_o to_o any_o opinion_n unless_o it_o be_v in_o a_o plain_a truth_n and_o of_o great_a moment_n now_o thus_o do_v to_o our_o brother_n and_o spare_v his_o weakness_n and_o continue_v on_o our_o speech_n as_o though_o we_o see_v not_o that_o he_o be_v angry_a hereby_o the_o conference_n hold_v on_o and_o love_n be_v continue_v as_o afore_o but_o if_o contrariwise_o we_o take_v the_o advantage_n of_o

to_o forbear_v the_o natural_a weakness_n of_o our_o brethren_n if_o we_o purpose_v to_o live_v in_o any_o comfort_n with_o they_o in_o this_o world_n yet_o this_o forbearance_n must_v be_v with_o
