not_o believe_v that_o the_o school_n distinction_n of_o scandal_n into_o datum_fw-la &_o acceptum_fw-la be_v apparent_o false_a and_o impertinent_a and_o be_v the_o main_a thing_n that_o have_v perplex_v all_o discourse_n of_o this_o article_n much_o less_o that_o all_o the_o obligation_n of_o scandal_n proceed_v pure_o from_o that_o extraordinary_a height_n of_o charity_n and_o tenderness_n of_o good_a nature_n etc._n etc._n nor_o yet_o that_o if_o it_o proceed_v from_o humour_n or_o pride_n or_o wilfulness_n or_o any_o other_o vicious_a principle_n then_o be_v the_o man_n to_o be_v treat_v as_o a_o peevish_a and_o stubborn_a person_n and_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o part_n with_o his_o own_o freedom_n because_o his_o neighbour_n be_v froward_a and_o humourous_a etc._n etc._n i_o perceive_v by_o many_o such_o passage_n as_o these_o that_o we_o differ_v in_o doctrinal_n as_o well_o as_o in_o ceremony_n from_o some_o that_o be_v for_o our_o suffering_n yea_o that_o indeed_o we_o be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o religion_n for_o love_n be_v the_o life_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o our_o love_n be_v not_o not_o so_o limit_v and_o narrow_a a_o kind_n of_o love_n

nor_o so_o feeble_a and_o impotent_a as_o this_o here_o describe_v much_o less_o do_v we_o number_v it_o with_o thing_n indifferent_a or_o that_o be_v leave_v to_o our_o liberty_n or_o with_o those_o that_o some_o call_v either_o work_n of_o supererogation_n or_o of_o evangelical_n perfection_n as_o answer_v to_o counsel_n and_o not_o to_o command_n we_o be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o our_o judgement_n in_o this_o point_n whoever_o shall_v account_v it_o heresy_n or_o error_n we_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o and_o that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o act_n of_o extraordinary_a charity_n unless_o as_o the_o malice_n of_o uncharitable_a man_n do_v eventual_o make_v and_o denominate_v it_o extraordinary_a but_o that_o it_o be_v essential_a to_o all_o true_a save_a love_n and_o common_a to_o every_o true_a member_n of_o christ_n that_o shall_v be_v save_v we_o believe_v that_o this_o love_n must_v be_v extend_v to_o the_o proud_a and_o peevish_a and_o unto_o our_o very_a enemy_n and_o therefore_o we_o pray_v more_o conformable_o to_o the_o liturgy_n than_o such_o conformist_n that_o god_n will_v forgive_v our_o enemy_n persecutor_n and_o slanderer_n and_o turn_v their_o heart_n according_o it_o be_v part_n of_o our_o religion_n that_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o do_v good_a to_o the_o proud_a and_o peevish_a as_o well_o as_o other_o yea_o unto_o all_o man_n to_o the_o utmost_a of_o our_o power_n except_o those_o who_o by_o law_n be_v take_v out_o of_o our_o care_n by_o be_v destine_v to_o death_n for_o their_o crime_n who_o body_n we_o may_v not_o endeavour_v to_o save_v but_o their_o soul_n be_v as_o much_o under_o our_o necessary_a duty_n as_o other_o we_o hold_v that_o even_o a_o traitor_n murderer_n or_o felon_n go_v to_o the_o gallow_n must_v be_v so_o far_o love_v pity_v and_o help_v that_o we_o must_v do_v much_o more_o than_o forbear_v a_o thing_n indifferent_a to_o save_v their_o soul_n for_o we_o long_v ago_o receive_v paul_n opinion_n that_o we_o shall_v rather_o choose_v never_o to_o eat_v flesh_n while_o we_o live_v than_o to_o hinder_v their_o salvation_n for_o who_o christ_n die_v we_o believe_v very_o confident_o that_o if_o a_o proud_a or_o peevish_a man_n be_v cut_v his_o own_o throat_n or_o hang_v or_o drown_v himself_o that_o by_o a_o ordinary_a obligation_n common_a to_o man_n we_o be_v bind_v in_o charity_n to_o do_v our_o best_a to_o save_v his_o life_n to_o cut_v the_o rope_n to_o pull_v he_o out_o of_o the_o water_n though_o we_o lose_v for_o it_o the_o liberty_n of_o a_o lawful_a game_n or_o feast_n or_o rest_n yea_o though_o it_o must_v cost_v we_o dear_a and_o we_o believe_v that_o if_o we_o do_v not_o this_o we_o do_v not_o only_o fail_v of_o a_o extraordinary_a height_n of_o charity_n but_o that_o we_o be_v murderer_n and_o that_o we_o do_v not_o only_o cross_v the_o tenderness_n of_o good_a nature_n but_o common_a humanity_n we_o can_v deny_v but_o we_o take_v he_o for_o a_o beast_n and_o worse_o than_o a_o infidel_n that_o will_v not_o only_o famish_v his_o family_n but_o stand_v by_o and_o let_v they_o cut_v their_o own_o throat_n if_o he_o can_v but_o say_v they_o be_v stubborn_a proud_a and_o peevish_a or_o drink_v or_o that_o will_v see_v his_o neighbour_n drown_v or_o hang_v themselves_o if_o they_o do_v it_o in_o pride_n or_o peevishness_n or_o stubbornness_n rather_o than_o he_o will_v forsake_v his_o liberty_n in_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o our_o religion_n to_o sell_v a_o soul_n much_o more_o many_o thousand_o for_o a_o ceremony_n we_o take_v the_o six_o commandment_n to_o mean_v thou_o shall_v not_o murder_v the_o good_a or_o the_o bad_a the_o patient_a or_o the_o peevish_a by_o commission_n or_o by_o omission_n and_o as_o much_o as_o soul_n be_v more_o worth_a than_o body_n and_o everlasting_a life_n than_o temporal_a so_o much_o the_o great_a sin_n do_v we_o take_v it_o for_o to_o be_v the_o murderer_n of_o soul_n by_o omission_n than_o of_o body_n and_o that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o insufficient_a excuse_n for_o omissive_a soul-murdering_a to_o say_v he_o be_v peevish_a and_o i_o shall_v have_v part_v with_o my_o freedom_n can_v we_o once_o think_v that_o do_v no_o harm_n be_v all_o our_o necessary_a religion_n and_o that_o do_v good_a be_v only_o the_o work_n of_o a_o extraordinary_a height_n of_o charity_n than_o we_o can_v be_v in_o this_o of_o another_o mind_n and_o can_v think_v a_o stone_n or_o tree_n more_o religious_a than_o a_o mortal_a saint_n but_o we_o have_v not_o so_o learn_v to_o be_v religious_a 2._o and_o indeed_o we_o think_v that_o this_o opinion_n will_v almost_o excuse_v the_o whole_a world_n from_o work_n of_o charity_n to_o any_o at_o least_o except_o idiot_n and_o infant_n for_o to_o confess_v all_o our_o cross_a opinion_n free_o we_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o we_o hold_v the_o doctrine_n of_o original_a sin_n as_o inherent_a in_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o adam_n and_o we_o must_v have_v pardon_n in_o our_o nonconformity_n for_o conformity_n so_o far_o to_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o article_n and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o of_o the_o universal_a church_n and_o therefore_o we_o hold_v that_o the_o whole_a nature_n of_o man_n be_v corrupt_v from_o the_o womb_n with_o some_o vicious_a principle_n yea_o more_o than_o so_o with_o the_o particular_a principle_n of_o pride_n humour_n and_o stubbornness_n and_o peevishness_n and_o therefore_o that_o according_a to_o this_o rule_n which_o we_o dissent_v from_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v suffer_v to_o be_v hang_v and_o damn_v for_o ever_o rather_o than_o a_o conformist_n shall_v lose_v a_o game_n at_o chess_n or_o a_o cup_n of_o sack_n or_o abate_v a_o ceremony_n because_o if_o it_o proceed_v from_o humour_n pride_n or_o peevishness_n or_o any_o other_o vicious_a principle_n no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o part_n with_o his_o own_o freedom_n because_o his_o neighbour_n be_v froward_a and_o humourous_a and_o we_o hold_v that_o there_o be_v few_o man_n or_o none_o that_o have_v live_v so_o innocent_o but_o that_o if_o original_a sin_n be_v deny_v they_o have_v by_o practice_n contract_v some_o vicious_a principle_n even_o of_o pride_n and_o humour_n and_o frowardness_n and_o we_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v to_o cure_v such_o vitiated_a soul_n and_o such_o principle_n that_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o that_o he_o make_v the_o gospel_n and_o institute_v the_o ministry_n and_o that_o we_o

and_o that_o though_o dogged_a hear_v we_o and_o swinish_a contempt_n of_o the_o gospel_n itself_o may_v excuse_v we_o from_o further_a importunity_n with_o some_o and_o allow_v we_o to_o shake_v

the_o number_n of_o they_o that_o mourn_v for_o the_o reproach_n of_o those_o pitified_a church_n where_o the_o pastor_n be_v of_o these_o opinion_n and_o think_v that_o if_o all_o the_o child_n of_o
