have_v be_v of_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o a_o christian_a magistrate_n by_o justice_n to_o put_v all_o those_o to_o death_n or_o any_o other_o offendor_n because_o jesus_n christ_n have_v forbid_v we_o to_o revenge_v evil_a and_o for_o that_o he_o have_v command_v all_o christian_n to_o suffer_v all_o injury_n patient_o this_o be_v a_o strange_a charity_n the_o shepherd_n for_o pity_n and_o compassion_n he_o take_v on_o the_o wolf_n he_o dare_v not_o hunt_v they_o from_o his_o flock_n but_o suffer_v they_o to_o devour_v his_o sheep_n and_o take_v more_o pity_n of_o the_o poor_a wolf_n then_o of_o his_o sheep_n and_o to_o be_v charitable_a towards_o the_o wolf_n will_v be_v more_o cruel_a to_o the_o sheep_n than_o the_o wolf_n themselves_o but_o when_o all_o shall_v be_v well_o examine_v i_o sect._n sect._n fear_v much_o that_o the_o disease_n of_o our_o flesh_n proceed_v not_o so_o much_o from_o fear_n that_o it_o have_v of_o offence_n as_o for_o fear_n of_o death_n wherefore_o without_o seek_v reason_n any_o further_a to_o prove_v this_o i_o ask_v but_o the_o testimony_n of_o conscience_n of_o those_o which_o love_n rather_o to_o cloak_v their_o infirmity_n with_o his_o veil_n of_o fear_n they_o have_v to_o offend_v then_o flat_o to_o confess_v it_o i_o ask_v then_o in_o conscience_n if_o they_o be_v out_o of_o danger_n &_o in_o such_o liberty_n that_o they_o dare_v bold_o confess_v that_o they_o understand_v whether_o for_o fear_n of_o offence_n they_o dare_v not_o speak_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o whether_o they_o will_v join_v themselves_o with_o idolater_n and_o keep_v they_o company_n in_o all_o their_o sacrifice_n &_o ceremony_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a they_o will_v not_o or_o else_o be_v they_o very_o evil_o instruct_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n wherein_o we_o may_v bear_v with_o the_o weak_a and_o wherein_o sect._n sect._n we_o ought_v to_o be_v well_o advise_v to_o take_v from_o they_o all_o just_a cause_n of_o offence_n if_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o i_o shall_v eat_v flesh_n or_o not_o eat_v i_o may_v well_o use_v my_o liberty_n if_o by_o eat_v i_o know_v i_o may_v alienate_v &_o drive_v any_o poor_a ignorant_a man_n from_o the_o gospel_n and_o in_o abstayn_v may_v draw_v he_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o gospel_n sure_o i_o ought_v to_o abstain_v and_o to_o have_v more_o regard_n to_o the_o edify_a of_o he_o then_o to_o my_o liberty_n consider_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v knowledge_n puff_v up_o and_o charity_n do_v edify_v for_o god_n have_v not_o forbid_v i_o to_o eat_v flesh_n or_o to_o abstain_v some_o day_n rather_o than_o other_o but_o have_v leave_v that_o to_o my_o choice_n on_o condition_n that_o i_o do_v all_o thing_n to_o his_o honour_n and_o glory_n and_o to_o the_o edyfi_v of_o my_o neighbour_n but_o when_o question_n arise_v of_o any_o thing_n sect._n sect._n which_o god_n have_v express_o command_v or_o forbid_v we_o must_v no_o long_o there_o deliberate_a or_o take_v counsel_n or_o dispute_v whether_o we_o must_v do_v it_o or_o no_o for_o it_o rest_v no_o long_o in_o our_o power_n nor_o our_o judgement_n for_o the_o council_n be_v already_o take_v either_o we_o must_v do_v it_o or_o determine_v to_o make_v war_n with_o god_n and_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o god_n have_v express_o forbid_v and_o with_o grievous_a threaten_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o honour_v nor_o worship_n image_n nor_o strange_a god_n nor_o yet_o bow_v to_o they_o nor_o do_v any_o homage_n to_o they_o nor_o to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o table_n of_o devil_n neither_o by_o hypocrisy_n nor_o of_o purpose_n wherefore_o we_o ought_v to_o beware_v thereof_o if_o that_o we_o fear_v to_o incur_v the_o displeasure_n of_o indignation_n of_o almighty_a god_n and_o rather_o to_o choose_v the_o bodily_a death_n or_o if_o we_o have_v do_v otherwise_o we_o must_v crave_v mercy_n and_o pardon_n of_o god_n with_o tear_n and_o weep_a as_o peter_n do_v i_o know_v well_o that_o some_o wise_a man_n which_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o teach_v other_o and_o confess_v sect._n sect._n jesus_n christ_n private_o but_o deny_v he_o open_o tell_v the_o faithful_a that_o if_o they_o dissemble_v not_o they_o shall_v put_v themselves_o in_o great_a danger_n &_o other_o with_o they_o &_o can_v no_o long_o serve_v in_o the_o church_n but_o shall_v leave_v it_o in_o great_a trouble_n it_o seem_v that_o such_o man_n will_v govern_v the_o church_n by_o their_o wisdom_n and_o not_o leave_v it_o to_o be_v govern_v of_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n do_v we_o think_v we_o can_v find_v a_o jesus_n christ_n who_o we_o may_v serve_v without_o cross_n without_o persecution_n and_o without_o thorn_n think_v we_o to_o find_v a_o jesus_n christ_n so_o delicate_a &_o soft_a as_o velvet_n where_o shall_v we_o find_v that_o the_o holy_a apostle_n &_o true_a disciple_n of_o christ_n jesus_n have_v consent_v to_o or_o allow_v either_o in_o word_n or_o deed_n the_o idolatry_n &_o abomination_n of_o the_o pagan_n to_o avoid_v danger_n &_o persecution_n for_o fear_n to_o trouble_v the_o church_n in_o deed_n such_o be_v the_o apostle_n of_o circumstion_n who_o do_v great_o molest_v &_o trouble_v s._n 3._o gal._n 5._o phi._n 1._o 3._o paul_n for_o they_o endeavour_v to_o please_v man_n

preach_v many_o good_a and_o faithful_a man_n have_v be_v in_o danger_n to_o those_o both_o body_n and_o good_n and_o many_o have_v be_v put_v to_o death_n and_o many_o town_n &_o country_n move_v &_o trouble_v if_o s._n paul_n will_v have_v dissemble_v support_v and_o approve_v their_o error_n abuse_n and_o superstition_n of_o jew_n and_o gentile_n without_o speak_v so_o plain_o and_o reprove_v and_o condemn_v they_o so_o open_o both_o in_o word_n and_o deed_n he_o may_v well_o have_v avoid_v all_o those_o inconvenience_n shall_v we_o then_o condemn_v he_o as_o undiscrete_a rash_a arrogant_a and_o one_o that_o be_v mad_a but_o if_o he_o have_v do_v otherwise_o and_o if_o he_o have_v please_v man_n he_o have_v not_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n he_o have_v be_v a_o traitor_n to_o 1._o gal._n 1._o his_o church_n if_o for_o his_o own_o bodily_a ease_n and_o to_o procure_v the_o same_o to_o other_o he_o have_v hide_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n this_o great_a apostle_n ought_v in_o deed_n to_o have_v fear_v sect._n sect._n as_o much_o that_o the_o church_n shall_v find_v lack_n of_o he_o if_o any_o harm_n shall_v come_v to_o he_o as_o of_o any_o of_o we_o for_o there_o have_v be_v far_o great_a loss_n yet_o do_v not_o that_o hinder_v he_o from_o execute_v his_o office_n according_a to_o the_o charge_n give_v he_o he_o will_v not_o appoint_v rule_n and_o limit_n to_o

and_o all_o the_o heir_n of_o our_o head_n be_v count_v and_o that_o nothing_o shall_v befall_v unto_o we_o but_o by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n who_o win_v determine_v nothing_o but_o to_o his_o

his_o church_n than_o our_o life_n if_o he_o call_v we_o out_o of_o this_o world_n he_o will_v send_v other_o into_o his_o harness_a if_o man_n be_v not_o altogether_o unworthy_a thereof_o if_o it_o please_v he_o that_o we_o live_v and_o serve_v long_o in_o his_o church_n he_o be_v mighty_a and_o wise_a enough_o to_o keep_v we_o by_o such_o mean_n as_o shall_v please_v he_o wtout_o our_o dream_a
