with_o peter_n if_o they_o have_v fall_v with_o he_o when_o yet_o the_o wicked_a shall_v lie_v still_o and_o wax_v worse_o 3.13_o but_o you_o demand_v and_o will_v needs_o have_v i_o answer_v

they_o may_v break_v out_o some_o other_o way_n if_o i_o may_v answer_v a_o wise_a and_o sober_a demaunder_n i_o will_v not_o refuse_v to_o speak_v my_o mind_n although_o it_o may_v in_o part_n be_v

let_v he_o impute_v it_o to_o his_o own_o sin_n rather_o than_o to_o my_o rashness_n i_o say_v therefore_o see_v rare_a and_o dear_a servant_n of_o god_n have_v fall_v thus_o into_o shameful_a sin_n it_o may_v seem_v scarce_o possible_a for_o the_o best_a in_o these_o latter_a time_n be_v far_o inferior_a to_o some_o of_o they_o in_o grace_n to_o be_v free_a from_o the_o like_o fearful_a fall_n fall_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v know_v that_o some_o other_o of_o his_o good_a people_n god_n have_v preserve_v from_o that_o kind_n of_o shameful_a sin_n and_o stain_n as_o enoch_n abraham_n caleb_n josua_n with_o many_o other_o and_o therefore_o it_o may_v of_o we_o be_v hope_v for_o especial_o see_v it_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n than_o we_o be_v command_v to_o have_v special_a regard_n and_o care_n of_o 1.27_o that_o be_v to_o live_v without_o just_a reproach_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o crooked_a generation_n and_o unstained_a saint_n peter_n say_v if_o you_o have_v these_o thing_n you_o shall_v never_o fall_v that_o be_v dangerous_o 1.10_o to_o take_v any_o great_a hurt_n thereby_o therefore_o by_o these_o and_o such_o other_o persuasion_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v encourage_v for_o to_o we_o there_o be_v good_a hope_n to_o obtain_v grace_n hereunto_o but_o see_v all_o god_n child_n can_v alike_o be_v persuade_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o give_v all_o diligence_n hereunto_o even_o that_o they_o may_v be_v unrebukeable_a among_o man_n as_o paul_n do_v 4.3.4_o and_o so_o teach_v other_o to_o do_v but_o think_v it_o impossible_a to_o live_v so_o constant_o 26.18.19_o but_o that_o they_o shall_v sometime_o break_v out_o dangerous_o therefore_o such_o must_v be_v teach_v wisdom_n by_o experience_n and_o some_o of_o they_o be_v more_o proud_a than_o other_o must_v have_v their_o pride_n humble_v and_o heal_v by_o such_o medicine_n fall_n for_o grievous_a fall_n be_v physic_n for_o pride_n and_o many_o who_o have_v some_o grace_n but_o not_o the_o grace_n which_o be_v sufficient_a for_o they_o be_v dangerous_o proud_a because_o they_o have_v not_o fall_v shameful_o that_o be_v into_o some_o odious_a crime_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v fall_v shameful_o if_o they_o can_v see_v it_o in_o that_o they_o be_v dangerous_o proud_a if_o god_n therefore_o see_v it_o meet_v to_o abate_v their_o pride_n thereby_o they_o may_v possible_o fall_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n or_o if_o it_o be_v for_o the_o more_o manifest_v of_o his_o glory_n in_o forgive_a they_o so_o great_a a_o trespass_n they_o may_v also_o fall_v dangerous_o 21.15_o this_o do_v our_o merciful_a

his_o faithful_a people_n which_o never_o fall_v in_o that_o manner_n as_o peter_n answer_n and_o david_n psalm_n do_v clear_o testify_v yea_o and_o such_o love_v he_o the_o more_o luk._n 7.47_o even_o for_o that_o very_a cause_n see_v they_o obtain_v mercy_n against_o so_o great_a sin_n of_o they_o and_o fearful_a iniquity_n yea_o and_o to_o add_v a_o three_o end_n god_n be_v high_o

their_o fall_n for_o these_o cause_n therefore_o the_o lord_n may_v and_o often_o have_v let_v some_o of_o his_o dear_a servant_n fall_v dangerous_o first_o for_o the_o humble_v of_o they_o and_o
