the_o outcry_n of_o people_n say_v these_o man_n do_v exceed_o trouble_v our_o city_n yea_o for_o preach_v the_o 5_o act_n 34_o 5_o truth_n you_o shall_v be_v the_o man_n that_o turn_v the_o kingdom_n

be_v at_o peace_n with_o all_o man_n i_o do_v so_o conceive_v answ_n answ_n too_o provide_v that_o reformation_n be_v real_a not_o verbal_a that_o under_o pretence_n of_o reformation_n in_o religion_n

to_o hinder_v but_o further_o a_o reformation_n in_o that_o truth_n must_v be_v the_o foundation_n truth_n must_v be_v the_o instrumental_a case_n yea_o truth_n must_v be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o a_o true_a reformation_n so_o that_o your_o scripture_n if_o a_o true_a exposition_n be_v give_v thereon_o be_v much_o important_a to_o the_o question_n in_o hand_n in_o that_o a_o word_n in_o due_a

be_v the_o season_n if_o not_o to_o reprove_v a_o child_n when_o he_o offend_v if_o not_o to_o reprove_v david_n upon_o the_o act_n of_o adultery_n so_o when_o be_v a_o time_n more_o seasonable_a for_o elijah_n to_o divulge_v a_o famine_n but_o when_o ahab_n have_v idolise_v his_o pride_n and_o voluptuousness_n so_o that_o dear_a friend_n to_o conceal_v a_o truth_n when_o error_n be_v publish_v be_v not_o the_o season_n but_o to_o speak_v a_o word_n in_o due_a season_n be_v to_o preach_v light_n in_o darkness_n to_o divulge_v truth_n in_o opposition_n to_o error_n as_o say_v the_o

provide_v the_o god_n of_o truth_n carry_v out_o thy_o heart_n by_o the_o power_n of_o truth_n to_o speak_v nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n i_o say_v to_o thou_o it_o

in_o you_o be_v be_v at_o peace_n with_o all_o man_n true_a it_o be_v a_o bless_a condition_n but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o apostle_n intend_v there_o the_o silence_v of_o truth_n that_o thereby_o you_o may_v attain_v love_n and_o peace_n with_o all_o man_n or_o that_o when_o thou_o be_v revile_v of_o any_o man_n not_o to_o revile_v again_o as_o when_o thou_o be_v evil_a speak_v off_o not_o to_o speak_v evil_a again_o to_o this_o purpose_n the_o apostle_n have_v his_o say_n recompense_n to_o no_o man_n evil_a for_o evil_n but_o if_o thy_o 17._o verse_n 17._o enemy_n hunger_n feed_v
