those_o who_o have_v not_o be_v blessed_v with_o a_o liberal_a education_n but_o the_o common_a reason_n of_o all_o mankind_n can_v tell_v we_o that_o when_o we_o be_v affect_v by_o a_o foolish_a

particular_a man_n endure_v too_o much_o even_o a_o real_a injury_n to_o himself_o be_v to_o be_v bear_v with_o patience_n till_o great_a charity_n require_v he_o to_o seek_v for_o some_o redress_n and_o that_o too_o must_v be_v do_v with_o a_o charitable_a mind_n and_o after_o as_o just_a and_o as_o kind_a a_o manner_n as_o may_v be_v and_o after_o all_o it_o shall_v be_v consider_v that_o the_o reparation_n get_v may_v not_o answer_v the_o damage_n wherein_o a_o man_n involve_v himself_o and_o other_o for_o want_v of_o patience_n at_o first_o 3._o there_o be_v yet_o a_o three_o reason_n why_o charity_n shall_v teach_v we_o to_o endure_v all_o thing_n and_o it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o kindness_n we_o owe_v even_o those_o our_o enemy_n that_o bring_v we_o into_o affliction_n and_o perhaps_o design_o as_o unjust_a as_o they_o be_v christian_a charity_n oblige_v we_o to_o do_v our_o best_a to_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o sense_n of_o their_o wickedness_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v lead_v to_o repentance_n now_o patience_n be_v a_o very_a probable_a mean_n of_o bring_v this_o about_o because_o it_o be_v a_o most_o amiable_a virtue_n and_o the_o sight_n of_o it_o be_v

make_v the_o spirit_n of_o cruel_a man_n relent_v when_o hardly_o any_o thing_n else_o can_v it_o be_v indeed_o a_o common_a say_v that_o by_o bear_v one_o injury_n you_o do_v invite_v and_o encourage_v wicked_a people_n to_o load_v you_o with_o more_o but_o such_o instance_n be_v very_o rare_a where_o there_o be_v a_o true_a sense_n of_o religion_n or_o humanity_n and_o those_o nature_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o foul_a and_o dreggy_a which_o take_v delight_n and_o pleasure_n in_o heap_v up_o injury_n upon_o injury_n yet_o even_o in_o that_o case_n time_n and_o patience_n do_v miracle_n because_o conscience_n if_o it_o stir_v once_o be_v a_o very_a troublesome_a thing_n to_o a_o wicked_a man_n and_o that_o which_o make_v the_o pursue_v of_o mischief_n a_o very_a

he_o when_o i_o see_v the_o christian_n go_v to_o their_o torment_n and_o death_n so_o undaunted_o i_o think_v it_o impossible_a that_o such_o people_n shall_v live_v in_o wickedness_n and_o the_o

the_o very_a pagan_n where_o patience_n be_v there_o be_v god_n the_o power_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o who_o know_v how_o soon_o and_o how_o powerful_o that_o holy_a spirit_n may_v work_v upon_o the_o heart_n even_o of_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n i_o tell_v you_o before_o that_o the_o law_n of_o charity_n tie_v we_o to_o endure_v all_o thing_n with_o patience_n however_o trouble_v come_v upon_o we_o whether_o by_o the_o injustice_n and_o enmity_n of_o some_o or_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o different_a persuasion_n of_o other_o concern_v matter_n of_o religion_n and_o before_o i_o shut_v up_o this_o discourse_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a for_o i_o to_o say_v something_o upon_o that_o point_n of_o charity_n any_o one_o may_v see_v how_o vast_o prejudicial_a it_o be_v to_o the_o peace_n and_o interest_n not_o only_o of_o particular_a person_n but_o of_o the_o public_a state_n that_o even_o those_o who_o we_o may_v reasonable_o presume_v to_o be_v pious_a and_o sincere_a christian_n can_v differ_v in_o their_o judgement_n as_o to_o some_o opinion_n that_o be_v in_o vogue_n but_o on_o each_o side_n they_o be_v very_o hardly_o think_v and_o very_o hardly_o speak_v of_o nay_o as_o if_o the_o persecution_n of_o the_o tongue_n be_v not_o keen_a enough_o the_o uncharitableness_n of_o heady_a people_n have_v proceed_v to_o confiscation_n and_o flame_n also_o before_o i_o go_v on_o upon_o this_o theme_n i_o must_v lay_v down_o these_o two_o caution_n 1._o that_o i_o do_v not_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o prescribe_v to_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n who_o office_n it_o be_v to_o look_v after_o the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a community_n what_o be_v most_o necessary_a or_o prudent_a for_o he_o whether_o to_o permit_v or_o to_o prohibit_v difference_n of_o opinion_n i_o do_v not_o presume_v to_o define_v here_o nor_o 2._o be_v it_o my_o mean_v that_o all_o opinion_n shall_v pass_v abroad_o without_o let_n or_o contradiction_n though_o they_o direct_o tend_v some_o of_o they_o to_o subvert_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o common_a christian_a faith_n or_o to_o corrupt_v good_a manner_n or_o to_o destroy_v or_o injure_v humane_a society_n but_o when_o man_n be_v not_o legislator_n for_o other_o but_o judge_n for_o themselves_o only_o when_o point_n be_v knotty_a and_o disputable_a and_o hard_o to_o be_v clear_o determine_v and_o when_o opinion_n be_v harmless_a enough_o especial_o while_o they_o lodge_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o peaceable_a and_o modest_a man_n we_o shall_v express_v our_o charity_n to_o each_o other_o by_o allow_v every_o one_o the_o liberty_n of_o his_o own_o private_a judgement_n without_o deny_v those_o of_o a_o different_a persuasion_n from_o we_o either_o our_o communion_n or_o our_o affection_n it_o be_v
