and_o you_o god_n servant_n your_o master_n hire_v you_o to_o do_v god_n work_v and_o in_o the_o lord_n to_o do_v their_o work_n therefore_o this_o be_v a_o profane_a answer_n and_o these_o be_v ill_a

if_o no_o mean_n will_v serve_v a_o christian_n master_n must_v not_o have_v his_o house_n pester_v with_o such_o open_a rebel_n against_o god_n thus_o much_o god_n show_v the_o duty_n of_o

because_o in_o former_a time_n the_o place_n of_o judgement_n and_o where_o authority_n be_v exercise_v be_v in_o the_o gate_n hence_o then_o in_o that_o the_o magistrate_n must_v look_v to_o

how_o he_o must_v govern_v his_o servant_n and_o order_v his_o child_n and_o his_o whole_a household_n else_o if_o he_o lay_v load_n of_o doctrine_n upon_o other_o and_o do_v nothing_o himself_o they_o may_v say_v physician_n heal_v thyself_o and_o pull_v out_o the_o beam_n out_o of_o thy_o own_o eye_n thou_o hypocrite_n &_o this_o will_v make_v all_o his_o preach_v fruitless_o &_o vain_a for_o he_o that_o can_v govern_v himself_o &_o his_o own_o family_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a he_o shall_v order_v his_o flock_n aright_o therefore_o he_o must_v show_v his_o first_o skill_n in_o govern_v himself_o and_o his_o family_n and_o those_o that_o be_v near_o unto_o he_o the_o next_o duty_n of_o the_o minister_n be_v to_o preach_v the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n in_o season_n and_o out_o of_o season_n to_o feed_v the_o flock_n diligent_o and_o faithful_o to_o intend_v and_o take_v heed_n to_o such_o wholesome_a doctrine_n as_o may_v nourish_v the_o soul_n of_o his_o people_n to_o divide_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n aright_o to_o speak_v to_o the_o capacity_n and_o conscience_n of_o his_o people_n in_o all_o diligence_n &_o faithfulness_n not_o make_v merchandise_n of_o

straight_o to_o rate_v and_o revile_v they_o no_o he_o be_v not_o of_o that_o mind_n he_o love_v his_o neighbour_n name_n better_o than_o so_o and_o therefore_o he_o pity_v they_o and_o be_v careful_a to_o heal_v their_o fault_n as_o he_o will_v have_v be_v deal_v with_o all_o in_o the_o like_a case_n so_o that_o if_o one_o have_v pity_n and_o compassion_n of_o his_o neighbour_n fault_n and_o pray_v for_o he_o and_o admonish_v he_o and_o use_v all_o mean_n to_o bring_v he_o to_o repentance_n he_o love_v his_o neighbour_n credit_n and_o he_o that_o can_v thus_o convert_v his_o brother_n from_o go_v astray_o he_o have_v do_v the_o part_n of_o a_o good_a man_n and_o love_a friend_n for_o he_o have_v heal_v the_o soul_n and_o clear_v the_o name_n and_o cover_v a_o multitude_n of_o sin_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o inward_a duty_n and_o the_o three_o note_n and_o trial_n of_o it_o now_o follow_v the_o outward_a duty_n which_o be_v either_o general_a or_o special_a and_o first_o for_o the_o general_a that_o be_v to_o speak_v the_o truth_n from_o one_o heart_n as_o david_n in_o the_o 15._o psalm_n not_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n alone_o but_o from_o our_o heart_n neither_o after_o a_o flatter_a &_o dissemble_a manner_n nor_o after_o a_o rail_n and_o reproachful_a manner_n not_o for_o hope_n or_o fear_n or_o that_o so_o it_o be_v wrest_v from_o one_o by_o any_o sinister_a affection_n but_o hearty_o to_o speak_v just_a as_o the_o cause_n be_v without_o serve_v one_o self_n this_o be_v one_o commendation_n of_o christ_n and_o a_o chief_a commendation_n that_o no_o guile_n be_v find_v in_o his_o mouth_n but_o yet_o these_o two_o rule_n must_v be_v keep_v in_o speak_v the_o truth_n first_o that_o one_o speak_v with_o a_o good_a affection_n for_o if_o one_o speak_v the_o truth_n in_o wrath_n and_o passion_n in_o a_o distemper_a mind_n the_o word_n indeed_o be_v not_o sinful_a but_o the_o manner_n be_v wicked_a and_o break_v the_o commandment_n many_o will_v have_v a_o care_n to_o speak_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o they_o can_v justify_v &_o prove_v to_o be_v true_a but_o for_o their_o affection_n it_o be_v altogether_o disorder_a for_o in_o a_o revengeful_a mind_n to_o ease_v themselves_o what_o ever_o evil_o they_o know_v by_o a_o man_n out_o it_o shall_v go_v without_o any_o regard_n of_o edify_v other_o or_o convert_n the_o person_n only_o in_o a_o rage_n they_o care_v not_o how_o they_o discredit_v their_o neighbour_n now_o this_o rude_a and_o ungodly_a speak_v of_o the_o truth_n be_v sin_n against_o our_o neighbour_n name_n as_o well_o as_o to_o lie_v and_o backebite_n so_o that_o always_o truth_n must_v be_v bound_v with_o a_o love_a heart_n with_o a_o quiet_a and_o well_o temper_a mind_n if_o one_o speak_v unreasonable_o to_o hurt_v his_o neighbour_n he_o offend_v in_o speak_v the_o truth_n so_o for_o the_o end_n that_o be_v the_o second_o rule_n that_o one_o must_v look_v his_o end_n be_v good_a that_o one_o do_v aim_n at_o god_n glory_n and_o the_o edification_n of_o man_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v colloss_n 4._o what_o ever_o you_o do_v let_v all_o be_v do_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n if_o one_o be_v about_o to_o speak_v any_o thing_n let_v he_o first_o look_v what_o glory_n he_o may_v bring_v to_o god_n by_o speak_v it_o second_o see_v what_o profit_n may_v redound_v either_o to_o those_o to_o who_o we_o speak_v or_o to_o the_o party_n of_o who_o else_o never_o speak_v of_o other_o man_n fault_n or_o of_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o when_o we_o can_v say_v this_o profit_n will_v come_v either_o to_o give_v warning_n to_o other_o that_o they_o may_v take_v heed_n or_o that_o out_o self_n may_v learn_v more_o to_o hate_v the_o sin_n or_o that_o the_o party_n of_o who_o the_o speech_n be_v may_v be_v bring_v to_o a_o sight_n of_o his_o fault_n and_o to_o amendment_n if_o one_o can_v see_v some_o good_a or_o other_o that_o will_v arise_v by_o his_o speech_n it_o be_v sure_a it_o be_v sin_n and_o at_o the_o least_o a_o idle_a word_n so_o that_o one_o must_v speak_v the_o truth_n from_o his_o heart_n with_o a_o good_a affection_n and_o in_o good_a discretion_n so_o that_o god_n may_v have_v his_o due_a praise_n and_o man_n his_o due_a edification_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o general_a duty_n now_o the_o special_a concern_v either_o other_o or_o ourselves_o in_o speak_v of_o other_o these_o rule_n must_v be_v observe_v in_o praise_v to_o speak_v in_o one_o commendation_n rather_o in_o his_o absence_n because_o if_o one_o be_v commend_v before_o one_o face_n though_o his_o commendation_n be_v true_a yet_o it_o savour_v rather_o of_o flattery_n then_o like_v of_o the_o grace_n &_o beside_o through_o our_o infirmity_n it_o be_v not_o without_o danger_n of_o make_v one_o proud_a and_o conceit_a but_o in_o one_o absence_n speak_v the_o truth_n as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n child_n that_o so_o we_o may_v win_v more_o credit_n to_o their_o grace_n and_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o do_v more_o good_a with_o they_o and_o thus_o as_o time_n and_o place_n require_v it_o be_v duty_n to_o give_v due_a and_o true_a commendation_n to_o god_n servant_n but_o for_o reproof_n and_o speak_v of_o other_o man_n fault_n do_v that_o always_o before_o their_o face_n the_o time_n and_o season_n of_o commend_v be_v in_o absence_n but_o the_o time_n and_o season_n of_o reprehend_v be_v when_o either_o the_o party_n alone_o be_v present_a or_o he_o be_v one_o that_o be_v present_a or_o at_o least_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o he_o who_o it_o concern_v for_o so_o the_o holy_a ghost_n command_v hate_v not_o thy_o neighbour_n but_o tell_v he_o plain_o of_o his_o fault_n till_o it_o not_o a_o other_o be_v as_o plain_a and_o as_o round_o with_o he_o as_o one_o can_v so_o that_o it_o be_v in_o good_a term_n and_o that_o one_o know_v his_o better_n and_o superior_n this_o be_v contrary_a in_o many_o that_o never_o speak_v so_o much_o to_o magnify_v one_o good_a part_n as_o when_o the_o man_n himself_o be_v within_o the_o hear_n and_o never_o so_o much_o of_o one_o fault_n and_o frailty_n as_o when_o he_o be_v far_o enough_o of_o this_o show_v that_o the_o one_o come_v from_o a_o fawn_a disposition_n to_o curry_v favour_n rather_o than_o in_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o grace_n and_o the_o other_o rather_o from_o malice_n and_o revenge_n more_o than_o from_o love_n and_o desite_fw-la of_o the_o party_n good_a for_o one_o shall_v not_o in_o modesty_n make_v a_o rehearsal_n of_o one_o good_a thing_n before_o his_o face_n unless_o it_o be_v when_o he_o be_v deject_a and_o to_o much_o depress_v to_o comfort_v he_o &_o to_o raise_v he_o up_o and_o this_o we_o must_v observe_v in_o speak_v concern_v other_o now_o concern_v ourselves_o this_o must_v be_v keep_v that_o one_o speak_v as_o spare_o as_o may_v be_v either_o of_o his_o infirmity_n lest_o it_o give_v a_o suspicion_n of_o pride_n or_o else_o disgrace_v himself_o so_o much_o that_o he_o be_v make_v less_o able_a to_o do_v the_o good_a he_o may_v otherwise_o do_v or_o else_o of_o his_o good_a thing_n and_o matter_n of_o advancement_n for_o fear_v lest_o he_o shall_v grow_v at_o the_o length_n to_o wax_v proud_a and_o big_a in_o his_o imagination_n now_o these_o thing_n no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v able_a perfect_o to_o

that_o a_o great_a &_o more_o excellent_a work_n be_v do_v namely_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v reason_n that_o the_o great_a work_n shall_v carry_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o day_n

the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n to_o think_v upon_o and_o to_o remember_v by_o the_o celebrate_n of_o their_o seven_o day_n then_o how_o much_o more_o be_v we_o bind_v to_o this_o reverence_n and_o a_o great_a since_o beside_o this_o benefit_n of_o our_o make_n we_o have_v a_o great_a of_o our_o redeem_n by_o the_o blood_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n add_v unto_o it_o so_o that_o any_o

to_o god_n by_o how_o much_o he_o have_v show_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o we_o so_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o speak_v or_o think_v of_o this_o change_n but_o we_o shall_v also_o call_v to_o mind_n this_o great_a benefit_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o if_o adam_n have_v cause_n to_o spend_v a_o day_n in_o praise_v god_n for_o his_o creation_n than_o we_o have_v great_a cause_n see_v

therefore_o the_o duty_n be_v abollish_v and_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v none_o then_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n one_o may_v conclude_v thus_o you_o see_v we_o have_v not_o the_o same_o

and_o of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n hallow_v the_o jew_n have_v no_o such_o matter_n since_o these_o sign_n be_v alter_v i_o think_v it_o be_v but_o a_o ceremony_n and_o we_o need_v not_o regard_v

then_o it_o will_v not_o hold_v that_o we_o have_v no_o sacrament_n because_o the_o outward_a seal_n be_v alter_v than_o it_o be_v as_o weak_a a_o consequence_n that_o we_o have_v no_o seven_o day_n to_o be_v sanctify_v because_o the_o day_n be_v alter_v and_o we_o keep_v not_o the_o same_o that_o they_o do_v so_o that_o no_o proof_n can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o vary_a of_o the_o day_n that_o

that_o one_o can_v live_v in_o to_o make_v child_n have_v a_o long_a and_o happy_a life_n be_v to_o be_v obedient_a to_o their_o parent_n therefore_o let_v child_n learn_v to_o be_v dutiful_a and_o
