exercise_v he_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v try_v what_o patience_n there_o be_v in_o he_o and_o so_o isaac_n know_v that_o if_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o give_v he_o peaceable_a dwell_n in_o that_o country_n where_o he_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v drive_v thence_o but_o in_o asmuch_o as_o he_o see_v man_n perk_v up_o against_o he_o he_o know_v that_o it_o be_v as_o a_o passport_n from_o god_n for_o he_o to_o depart_v now_o on_o the_o conttary_n we_o must_v also_o note_v that_o god_n move_v they_o upon_o the_o sudden_a to_o come_v towards_o isaac_n and_o to_o appease_v and_o abolish_v all_o enmity_n and_o quarrel_n which_o may_v yet_o be_v move_v either_o on_o the_o one_o side_n or_o on_o the_o other_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o then_o when_o any_o outrage_n be_v do_v against_o we_o and_o there_o where_o we_o shall_v have_v endeavour_v to_o do_v pleasure_n and_o service_n to_o every_o one_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v wonderful_o prick_v and_o torment_v that_o this_o shall_v be_v do_v by_o god_n appointment_n who_o will_v we_o to_o strive_v not_o in_o do_v evil_a or_o requite_v evil_a for_o evil_n but_o by_o possess_v our_o soul_n in_o patience_n as_o also_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v thereto_o exhort_v we_o and_o likewise_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o we_o shall_v see_v man_n to_o be_v favourable_a unto_o we_o and_o to_o intend_v no_o evil_a quarrel_n or_o riot_v against_o we_o let_v we_o know_v that_o god_n have_v pity_n upon_o we_o &_o that_o he_o govern_v his_o creature_n and_o direct_v they_o to_o such_o purpose_n as_o he_o see_v good_a and_o likewise_o let_v we_o beseech_v god_n as_o often_o as_o our_o enemy_n shall_v use_v any_o cruelty_n against_o we_o and_o that_o we_o can_v not_o win_v they_o by_o any_o mean_n nor_o by_o any_o moderation_n that_o we_o can_v use_v that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o to_o put_v too_o his_o hand_n know_v that_o he_o can_v turn_v when_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o those_o that_o be_v wolf_n into_o sheep_n this_o be_v that_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v first_o of_o all_o by_o this_o history_n but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o isaac_n at_o their_o first_o come_n speak_v blunt_o enough_o on_o this_o wise_a why_o be_v you_o come_v unto_o i_o see_v you_o hate_v i_o &_o drive_v i_o out_o from_o amongst_o you_o we_o shall_v see_v by_o the_o sequel_n of_o the_o matter_n that_o isaac_n nourish_v no_o spite_n nor_o bitterness_n nor_o any_o desire_n of_o revengement_n in_o his_o heart_n for_o he_o be_v quick_o appease_v and_o when_o he_o upbray_v abimilech_n and_o all_o his_o company_n that_o they_o have_v hate_v and_o persecute_v he_o it_o be_v not_o in_o manner_n of_o any_o injury_n so_o as_o we_o be_v accustom_v to_o do_v for_o if_o any_o spite_n be_v do_v unto_o we_o or_o any_o wrong_n we_o sharpen_v our_o tongue_n to_o speak_v evil_a and_o to_o slander_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o hatred_n contention_n and_o wrangle_n to_o be_v short_a if_o we_o can_v tear_v they_o in_o piece_n that_o have_v hurt_v we_o we_o will_v willing_o do_v it_o and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o solomon_n say_v that_o hatred_n discover_v reproach_n fault_n and_o injury_n when_o the_o heart_n than_o be_v thus_o set_v on_o fire_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a but_o that_o the_o tongue_n also_o must_v overflow_v too_o outrage_n one_o against_o the_o other_o but_o isaac_n take_v no_o such_o course_n but_o we_o have_v to_o note_v that_o whensoever_o we_o shall_v be_v patient_a that_o this_o let_v not_o but_o that_o we_o use_v our_o liberty_n to_o show_v they_o that_o have_v fault_v the_o wrong_n that_o they_o have_v do_v unto_o we_o and_o so_o make_v they_o to_o understand_v their_o offence_n to_o the_o end_n all_o may_v profit_v they_o it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o this_o case_n we_o must_v thorough_o examine_v our_o affection_n for_o it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a and_o rare_a thing_n that_o a_o man_n who_o shall_v have_v be_v provoke_v &_o offend_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v move_v with_o some_o passion_n and_o so_o always_o pursue_v his_o own_o particular_a cause_n and_o therefore_o i_o have_v say_v that_o we_o must_v enter_v into_o ourselves_o and_o diligent_o mark_v if_o we_o be_v not_o move_v with_o some_o desire_n of_o revenge_n or_o taint_v with_o some_o hatred_n or_o rancour_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v thorough_o know_v this_o and_o find_v ourselves_o clear_a than_o we_o may_v have_v a_o open_a mouth_n to_o show_v they_o their_o offence_n that_o shall_v have_v wrong_v we_o not_o too_o be_v revenge_v in_o condemn_v of_o they_o but_o to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o flatter_v not_o themselves_o in_o their_o sin_n as_o this_o be_v a_o very_a common_a evil_a amongst_o man_n loe_o than_o a_o point_n which_o we_o have_v diligent_o to_o mark_v that_o be_v that_o the_o patience_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v not_o without_o all_o touch_n of_o any_o passion_n neither_o be_v it_o against_o this_o that_o we_o frank_o show_v they_o you_o have_v do_v i_o wrong_n and_o you_o have_v offend_v god_o and_o you_o have_v have_v no_o occasion_n to_o do_v so_o and_o yet_o that_o they_o always_o have_v special_a regard_n unto_o the_o salvation_n of_o those_o who_o have_v persecute_v they_o and_o have_v be_v their_o enemy_n for_o this_o that_o isaac_n nip_v they_o withal_o be_v undoubted_o as_o a_o admonition_n whereby_o he_o seek_v the_o good_a and_o salvation_n of_o they_o to_o who_o he_o speak_v so_o blunt_o for_o if_o he_o have_v dissemble_v it_o what_o profit_n may_v come_v to_o he_o thereby_o the_o other_o will_v have_v think_v it_o deep_a hypocrisy_n if_o he_o have_v make_v show_n to_o have_v be_v content_v &_o well_o please_v with_o they_o and_o that_o he_o have_v nothing_o but_o honey_n in_o his_o mouth_n and_o have_v say_v loe_o it_o be_v even_o so_o abimilech_n know_v himself_o to_o be_v faulty_a will_v have_v think_v see_v a_o double_a man_n and_o a_o liar_n loe_o what_o they_o gain_v that_o dissemble_v so_o much_o and_o set_v such_o a_o fair_a countenance_n upon_o it_o so_o then_o although_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v patient_a and_o that_o they_o be_v always_o ready_a ro_o forgive_v all_o wrong_n commit_v against_o they_o and_o have_v not_o any_o manner_n of_o way_n canker_a heart_n against_o their_o enemy_n yet_o they_o cease_v not_o oftentimes_o too_o say_v see_v wherein_o you_o have_v do_v i_o wrong_n and_o this_o be_v to_o show_v that_o they_o walk_v in_o all_o roundness_n &_o simplicity_n and_o this_o end_n ought_v always_o to_o be_v keep_v that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o we_o shall_v be_v grieve_v or_o any_o wrong_n or_o extortion_n shall_v be_v do_v unto_o we_o that_o yet_o we_o procure_v always_o the_o good_a of_o our_o enemy_n and_o that_o the_o reproof_n and_o accusation_n that_o we_o make_v unto_o they_o be_v so_o many_o advertisement_n or_o warning_n to_o draw_v they_o to_o the_o right_a way_n and_o to_o touch_v they_o too_o the_o intent_n they_o be_v not_o harden_v and_o make_v obstinate_a and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v better_o advise_v in_o time_n too_o come_v and_o that_o they_o fight_v not_o against_o god_n think_v they_o have_v too_o do_v with_o man_n as_o it_o be_v very_o like_a that_o isaac_n do_v here_o who_o will_v likewise_o provide_v for_o the_o time_n too_o come_v for_o this_o shall_v be_v very_o lawful_a for_o we_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v suffer_v any_o wrong_n to_o do_v asmuch_o as_n lie_v in_o we_o to_o rid_v ourselves_o from_o it_o for_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n command_v we_o to_o be_v ready_a when_o we_o shall_v have_v receive_v one_o blow_n upon_o the_o one_o cheek_n to_o turn_v the_o other_o yet_o it_o mean_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v go_v &_o provoke_v our_o enemy_n &_o give_v they_o occasion_n to_o vex_v we_o we_o ought_v to_o avoid_v this_o asmuch_o as_o be_v possible_a for_o we_o &_o by_o all_o good_a and_o love_a mean_n we_o ought_v to_o stop_v their_o malice_n who_o have_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o they_o isaac_n then_o have_v respect_n to_o himself_o in_o this_o case_n but_o it_o be_v not_o too_o the_o end_n too_o be_v avenge_v nor_o to_o render_v like_a for_o like_v he_o only_o content_v himself_o to_o have_v set_v a_o bar_n against_o all_o those_o which_o have_v entreat_v he_o evil_a and_o deal_v unjust_o with_o he_o before_o time_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v stay_v and_o may_v surcease_v from_o such_o wrong_n this_o brief_o be_v that_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v out_o of_o this_o place_n and_o this_o rule_n be_v very_o necessary_a for_o oftentimes_o when_o man_n be_v reconcile_v one_o to_o the_o other_o they_o must_v be_v silent_a and_o then_o there_o shall_v need_v

yet_o the_o evil_a shall_v be_v enrol_v before_o god_n &_o cry_v more_o loud_o before_o his_o majesty_n then_o if_o all_o man_n be_v arm_v and_o set_v themselves_o against_o we_o so_o then_o to_o the_o end_n our_o fault_n may_v be_v blot_v out_o &_o deface_v before_o god_n &_o that_o there_o be_v no_o cry_n that_o may_v hasten_v the_o lord_n to_o judgement_n against_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o offence_n that_o we_o have_v commit_v let_v we_o learn_v in_o such_o sort_n to_o appease_v all_o strife_n &_o quarrel_n that_o every_o one_o may_v prevent_v it_o by_o humble_v himself_o with_o a_o upright_o &_o pure_a confession_n this_o be_v that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o point_n now_o on_o the_o otherside_n we_o see_v as_o i_o have_v already_o touch_v that_o isaac_n have_v not_o as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v a_o heart_n puff_v up_o neither_o that_o nourish_v any_o manner_n of_o rancour_n against_o such_o as_o have_v be_v his_o enemy_n for_o he_o pursue_v they_o not_o he_o have_v in_o deed_n special_a cause_n against_o abimilech_n and_o his_o company_n for_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v they_o which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o flock_n &_o body_n of_o the_o church_n we_o can_v judge_v they_o to_o the_o end_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n as_o we_o may_v those_o which_o make_v profession_n of_o christianity_n who_o ought_v out_o of_o hand_n as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o they_o to_o receive_v admonition_n of_o their_o fault_n for_o this_o be_v the_o order_n which_o god_o have_v set_v amongst_o all_o those_o that_o be_v he_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o receive_v admonition_n both_o from_o great_a and_o small_a so_o that_o there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o mutual_a jurisdiction_n without_o the_o sword_n and_o without_o authority_n if_o we_o do_v our_o duty_n for_o every_o one_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o his_o mouth_n be_v as_o a_o judge_n to_o show_v his_o neighbour_n the_o fault_n which_o he_o have_v commit_v he_o shall_v be_v a_o judge_n in_o one_o respect_n &_o he_o shall_v suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v judge_v in_o a_o other_o mark_v then_o how_o we_o judge_v these_o that_o be_v of_o the_o household_n as_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o be_v to_o say_v such_o as_o be_v of_o our_o body_n and_o of_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n but_o those_o that_o be_v without_o although_o we_o condemn_v they_o yet_o can_v not_o we_o call_v they_o so_o familiar_o to_o say_v thou_o haste_v offend_v for_o they_o have_v no_o such_o acquaintance_n with_o we_o and_o there_o be_v no_o such_o mutual_a right_n as_o there_o be_v amongst_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o isaac_n deal_v not_o so_o earnest_o with_o abimelech_n and_o his_o people_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v knit_v together_o in_o one_o faith_n &_o worship_v the_o same_o god_n and_o have_v be_v of_o one_o church_n and_o have_v have_v one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o order_n establish_v amongst_o they_o it_o be_v very_o like_a that_o isaac_n will_v not_o have_v pass_v this_o over_o to_o have_v say_v unto_o he_o what_o come_v you_o hither_o with_o your_o brag_n make_v as_o though_o you_o be_v my_o good_a friend_n and_o have_v use_v nothing_o but_o courtesy_n towards_o i_o and_o what_o courtesy_n be_v that_o to_o deny_v i_o water_n yea_o and_o too_o dam_n up_o the_o well_n that_o i_o have_v dig_v by_o my_o own_o labour_n and_o the_o sweat_n of_o those_o that_o be_v i_o and_o this_o can_v bring_v you_o no_o loss_n or_o hindrance_n and_o yet_o through_o malice_n you_o have_v go_v about_o to_o put_v out_o my_o eye_n and_o in_o the_o end_n you_o have_v drive_v i_o out_o and_o have_v not_o suffer_v i_o too_o dwell_v amongst_o you_o and_o what_o friendship_n be_v this_o isaac_n therefore_o may_v have_v stand_v too_o have_v maintain_v his_o cause_n if_o abimelech_n have_v be_v capable_a to_o have_v receive_v such_o reproof_n but_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o free_o to_o have_v lay_v open_a his_o affection_n for_o see_v abimelech_n will_v not_o be_v correct_v neither_o have_v any_o such_o repentance_n as_o be_v requisite_a for_o he_o thereupon_o he_o leave_v he_o so_o they_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v labour_v to_o bring_v those_o to_o repentance_n that_o have_v offend_v if_o we_o see_v they_o obstinate_a we_o can_v no_o further_o press_v or_o urge_v they_o it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o they_o be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n we_o must_v follow_v they_o to_o the_o end_n they_o continue_v not_o obstinate_a and_o if_o they_o will_v not_o endeavour_n too_o open_v themselves_o and_o that_o we_o see_v they_o will_v not_o be_v displease_v with_o their_o fault_n that_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o hold_v they_o as_o vanquish_v for_o mark_v how_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o handle_v they_o who_o be_v so_o wild_a and_o hard_o heart_v my_o friend_n now_o thou_o show_v thy_o impudency_n before_o i_o well_o perceive_v that_o thou_o be_v stray_v out_o of_o the_o right_a path_n but_o now_o i_o see_v that_o thou_o be_v altogether_o desperate_a and_o without_o hope_n for_o thou_o do_v manifest_o despite_n god_n and_o what_o get_v thou_o either_o in_o this_o or_o in_o that_o for_o thine_o offence_n be_v well_o know_v and_o thus_o we_o may_v very_o well_o beat_v they_o down_o who_o imagine_v through_o toughness_n &_o stubborness_n to_o win_v their_o cause_n but_o if_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o those_o which_o have_v no_o acquaintance_n with_o we_o and_o be_v not_o our_o brethren_n let_v it_o suffice_v we_o too_o have_v show_v they_o the_o truth_n in_o one_o word_n for_o this_o shall_v be_v dear_o enough_o buy_v of_o they_o if_o they_o think_v not_o better_o upon_o it_o to_o humble_v themselves_o and_o for_o our_o part_n when_o we_o shall_v be_v reprove_v for_o any_o offence_n let_v we_o not_o wait_v for_o any_o long_a process_n and_o such_o great_a enquest_n too_o be_v convince_v as_o it_o be_v by_o fine_a force_n of_o many_o witness_n but_o let_v we_o receive_v correction_n patient_o assoon_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v offer_v we_o &_o not_o be_v like_a to_o those_o that_o throw_v up_o a_o handful_n of_o ash_n to_o take_v away_o the_o clear_a light_n let_v we_o therefore_o confess_v our_o fault_n for_o this_o be_v the_o only_a remedy_n except_o we_o will_v resist_v god_n &_o let_v we_o know_v that_o when_o any_o warning_n or_o admonition_n shall_v be_v give_v that_o then_o god_n will_v have_v his_o grace_n feel_v of_o we_o and_o that_o he_o be_v careful_a too_o draw_v we_o back_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o perish_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o remain_v obstinate_a and_o that_o satan_n shall_v not_o take_v possession_n of_o we_o let_v we_o know_v this_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v come_v to_o repentance_n and_o true_a lowliness_n now_o isaac_n show_v yet_o better_a that_o he_o keep_v no_o mind_n of_o revengement_n or_o enmity_n although_o they_o have_v offend_v he_o for_o he_o prepare_v a_o banquet_n and_o they_o eat_v and_o drink_v together_o loe_o here_o a_o point_n which_o we_o have_v well_o too_o meditate_v upon_o for_o this_o also_o show_v how_o that_o we_o must_v fight_v against_o our_o passion_n all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n so_o that_o this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o a_o b_o c_o of_o christian_n not_o too_o requite_v evil_a for_o evil_n but_o contrariwise_o too_o render_v good_a for_o evil_n and_o to_o get_v the_o victory_n in_o this_o matter_n the_o which_o can_v not_o enter_v into_o our_o fancy_n this_o i_o say_v be_v as_o it_o be_v our_o a_o b_o c_o and_o there_o be_v no_o such_o perfection_n in_o we_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v begin_v here_o that_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o desire_v and_o have_v a_o will_n to_o serve_v god_n it_o behoove_v that_o we_o be_v spoil_v of_o all_o bitterness_n hatred_n &_o rancour_n of_o all_o desire_n to_o revenge_n not_o only_o to_o forgive_v our_o enemy_n without_o procure_v of_o their_o hurt_n but_o also_o that_o we_o be_v ready_a too_o do_v they_o good_a but_o now_o who_o be_v he_o that_o discharge_v himself_o herein_o of_o the_o hundred_o part_n but_o we_o shall_v find_v albeit_o it_o seem_v that_o many_o be_v as_o they_o say_v petty_a angel_n and_o have_v nothing_o but_o a_o fervent_a desire_n to_o serve_v god_n &_o to_o honour_v he_o yea_o &_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o love_n &_o they_o be_v therein_o resolute_a &_o settle_a yet_o assoon_o as_o they_o be_v provoke_v the_o poison_n so_o break_v forth_o and_o afterwards_o dwell_v so_o long_o in_o they_o that_o

shall_v put_v any_o difference_n between_o one_o and_o a_o other_o &_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v acceptance_n of_o person_n in_o he_o behold_v then_o the_o dog_n that_o bark_n and_o whet_v their_o

with_o thou_o yea_o i_o the_o god_n of_o abraham_n thy_o father_n when_o he_o say_v fear_v not_o we_o have_v expound_v this_o already_o before_o that_o god_n mean_v not_o too_o exempt_v those_o too_o who_o he_o speak_v from_o all_o fear_n for_o howsoever_o the_o father_n be_v conqueror_n against_o all_o the_o defiaunce_n which_o can_v be_v make_v against_o they_o yet_o be_v they_o not_o

it_o be_v say_v express_o i_o be_o with_o thou_o to_o show_v that_o when_o we_o have_v god_n on_o our_o side_n this_o aught_o to_o suffice_v we_o though_o all_o the_o world_n mischievous_o practice_v

all_o the_o death_n in_o the_o world_n i_o will_v assure_v myself_o upon_o god_n shepherd_n crook_n loe_o how_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o three_o and_o twenty_o psalm_n oh_o lord_n thy_o hook_n that_o

therefore_o now_o altogether_o like_a as_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o rest_v ourselves_o upon_o the_o only_a goodness_n of_o god_n and_o in_o his_o fatherly_a favour_n so_o contrariwise_o we_o have_v to_o
