3.9_o nor_o that_o any_o mean_n shall_v be_v leave_v untried_a to_o prevent_v their_o perish_v therefore_o he_o bear_v with_o sinner_n because_o this_o be_v the_o day_n of_o his_o patience_n and_o

their_o convicttion_n as_o he_o do_v by_o the_o prophet_n ezek._n 18.25_o etc._n etc._n where_o he_o fair_o debate_v the_o case_n with_o those_o who_o say_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o

with_o what_o a_o invincible_a patience_n do_v he_o endure_v the_o contradiction_n of_o sinner_n when_o so_o many_o ill_a thing_n be_v witness_v against_o he_o he_o be_v silent_a 19.9_o to_o

hence_o that_o those_o who_o will_v be_v like_o their_o heavenly_a father_n must_v bear_v reproach_n and_o contradiction_n patient_o when_o any_o thing_n be_v say_v against_o we_o reflect_v never_o

well_o to_o be_v angry_a for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v endure_v not_o to_o be_v endure_v o_o think_v how_o much_o god_n bear_v with_o the_o contempt_n and_o reproach_n cast_v upon_o his_o great_a name_n and_o that_o will_v sure_o qualify_v our_o resentment_n of_o any_o indignity_n do_v to_o our_o little_a name_n who_o be_v we_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v speak_v against_o or_o what_o be_v our_o say_n that_o they_o must_v not_o be_v contradict_v 2.23_o such_o affront_v as_o these_o we_o shall_v learn_v to_o bear_v as_o david_n do_v when_o sbimei_n curse_v he_o so_o let_v

be_v the_o child_n of_o our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n god_n adjourn_v his_o vindication_n to_o the_o great_a day_n and_o then_o sure_o we_o may_v adjourn_v we_o to_o that_o day_n as_o st._n paul_n do_v he_o 1_o cor._n 4.5_o second_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v the_o power_n of_o divine_a grace_n in_o keep_v up_o the_o christian_a religion_n in_o the_o world_n notwithstanding_o the_o universal_a contradiction_n and_o opposition_n it_o have_v meet_v with_o one_o will_v think_v that_o a_o way_n thus_o speak_v against_o every_o where_o shall_v have_v be_v long_o ere_o this_o lose_a and_o ruin_v and_o the_o christian_a name_n cut_v off_o to_o be_v no_o more_o in_o remembrance_n

under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n for_o neglect_v it_o it_o be_v a_o very_a small_a thing_n to_o be_v judge_v of_o man_n day_n but_o he_o that_o judge_v we_o be_v the_o lord_n 4._o let_v we_o therefore_o be_v more_o afraid_a of_o be_v sectary_n than_o of_o be_v call_v so_o second_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v here_o say_v to_o be_v every_o where_o speak_v against_o that_o it_o be_v speak_v against_o be_v evident_a enough_o but_o that_o it_o be_v every_o where_o speak_v against_o be_v more_o than_o they_o can_v be_v sure_a of_o they_o do_v not_o know_v all_o place_n nor_o have_v they_o correspondence_n with_o or_o intelligence_n from_o every_o country_n but_o we_o must_v not_o wonder_v if_o those_o that_o oppose_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n make_v no_o conscience_n of_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o truth_n in_o common_a conversation_n but_o we_o will_v suppose_v that_o the_o acquaintance_n and_o converse_n of_o those_o jew_n at_o rome_n lie_v most_o with_o those_o that_o be_v enemy_n to_o christianity_n and_o speak_v against_o it_o and_o they_o therefore_o conclude_v it_o every_o where_o speak_v against_o because_o they_o find_v it_o speak_v against_o in_o all_o place_n that_o they_o come_v to_o or_o have_v advice_n from_o thus_o apt_a be_v we_o to_o embrace_v that_o as_o a_o general_a sentiment_n and_o observation_n which_o we_o find_v receive_v by_o those_o that_o we_o usual_o associate_v with_o and_o so_o we_o run_v ourselves_o into_o mistake_n which_o large_a and_o more_o impartial_a inquiry_n will_v soon_o rectify_v but_o we_o will_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v however_o that_o what_o they_o say_v be_v true_a not_o because_o they_o say_v it_o but_o because_o the_o experience_n of_o all_o age_n do_v confirm_v it_o and_o concur_v with_o it_o so_o that_o a_o little_a acquaintance_n with_o book_n and_o the_o world_n will_v prove_v the_o observation_n which_o we_o ground_n upon_o this_o text_n doct._n that_o it_o be_v and_o always_o have_v be_v the_o lot_n of_o christ_n holy_a religion_n to_o be_v every_o where_o speak_v against_o or_o thus_o that_o true_a christianity_n have_v all_o along_o meet_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o opposition_n and_o contradiction_n in_o this_o world_n i_o purpose_v not_o to_o enter_v into_o a_o particular_a disquisition_n of_o that_o which_o have_v be_v and_o be_v speak_v against_o religion_n nor_o do_v i_o undertake_v at_o present_a to_o show_v how_o false_a and_o unreasonable_a it_o be_v that_o have_v be_v do_v many_o a_o time_n by_o the_o best_a hand_n and_o so_o effectual_o that_o every_o impartial_a eye_n must_v needs_o look_v upon_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o adversary_n of_o religion_n to_o be_v a_o baffle_a cause_n but_o i_o shall_v only_o make_v some_o improvement_n of_o this_o general_a observation_n which_o can_v be_v unseasonable_a in_o a_o age_n wherein_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n seem_v to_o be_v make_v their_o utmost_a effort_n against_o the_o church_n and_o the_o devil_n as_o the_o calumniator_n and_o false_a accuser_n to_o be_v more_o wroth_a than_o ever_o with_o the_o woman_n the_o church_n 12.17_o and_o to_o push_v on_o the_o war_n
