one_o of_o falsehood_n to_o take_v part_n with_o he_o in_o suffer_v calamity_n and_o not_o to_o bear_v he_o company_n in_o do_v of_o injury_n but_o before_o i_o go_v far_o i_o must_v answer_v two_o objection_n the_o first_o be_v whether_o it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o praise_v without_o flattery_n and_o whether_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o all_o praiser_n consequent_o must_v be_v flatterer_n the_o second_o be_v a_o answer_n to_o a_o objection_n to_o those_o who_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o flatter_v because_o they_o think_v it_o be_v no_o sin_n and_o if_o they_o shall_v advantage_v themselves_o and_o sin_n not_o they_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v not_o use_v it_o but_o first_o to_o the_o former_a objection_n whether_o it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o please_v without_o flattery_n this_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o if_o we_o true_o and_o moderate_o commend_v any_o for_o those_o thing_n w_z ch_z just_o deserve_v praise_n our_o praise_n tend_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n or_o good_a of_o he_o that_o be_v praise_v that_o the_o virtue_n for_o which_o he_o be_v commend_v may_v increase_v in_o he_o or_o for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o those_o that_o hear_v to_o the_o like_a virtue_n and_o not_o for_o any_o private_a end_n or_o profit_n to_o our_o self_n he_o i_o say_v that_o praise_n thus_o and_o with_o these_o caution_n can_v be_v term_v a_o flatterer_n for_o thus_o saint_n paul_n commend_v the_o thessalonian_n colossian_n philippian_n and_o ephesian_n and_o as_o saint_n paul_n do_v it_o to_o their_o good_a and_o god_n glory_n it_o be_v charity_n not_o flattery_n it_o be_v the_o mark_n of_o true_a friendship_n and_o not_o of_o feign_a love_n the_o second_o be_v to_o resolve_v the_o question_n whither_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n or_o no_o for_o if_o it_o be_v one_o why_o do_v s._n paul_n say_v give_v no_o offence_n etc._n etc._n even_o as_o i_o please_v all_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n 10.32.33_o see_v that_o to_o please_v all_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n can_v be_v without_o flattery_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o fault_n to_o dispraise_v a_o ill_a man_n why_o be_v it_o not_o good_a to_o commend_v a_o good_a man_n to_o these_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o neither_o to_o praise_n nor_o to_o please_v in_o themselves_o be_v flattery_n but_o may_v be_v make_v so_o by_o their_o end_n and_o circumstance_n and_o so_o s._n paul_n expound_v himself_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o this_o verse_n mean_v that_o he_o will_v have_v we_o please_v all_o man_n in_o every_o lawful_a thing_n seek_v not_o thereby_o our_o own_o glory_n and_o profit_n but_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o good_a of_o our_o neighbour_n and_o if_o we_o do_v thus_o neither_o please_v nor_o praise_v can_v be_v call_v flattery_n more_o than_o the_o just_a reprehension_n of_o he_o that_o be_v faulty_a can_v be_v call_v detraction_n and_o now_o to_o return_v again_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o that_o nothing_o be_v more_o dangerous_a to_o a_o prince_n and_o state_n then_o these_o deceiver_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o a_o little_a to_o show_v unto_o you_o the_o curiosity_n of_o wise_a man_n in_o ancient_a time_n for_o the_o abandon_v and_o punish_v of_o these_o flatterer_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o they_o may_v be_v safe_a &_o for_o the_o safety_n of_o their_o country_n and_o state_n wherefore_o i_o will_v all_o prince_n and_o potentate_n will_v say_v unto_o flatterer_n as_o christ_n do_v to_o the_o devil_n avoid_v satan_n so_o they_o avaunt_o flatterer_n and_o to_o proceed_v to_o tell_v you_o how_o many_o great_a &_o good_a man_n have_v diverse_o use_v diverse_a mean_n to_o avoid_v these_o it_o will_v ask_v a_o far_o large_a discourse_n but_o a_o few_o i_o will_v now_o name_v to_o encourage_v other_o by_o their_o example_n to_o do_v the_o like_a some_o have_v punish_v they_o by_o banishment_n so_o do_v augustus_n caesar_n and_o alexander_n severus_n who_o be_v so_o strict_a against_o flatterer_n that_o if_o
