not_o faction_n or_o peevishness_n that_o make_v the_o difference_n there_o our_o charity_n be_v as_o much_o due_a to_o they_o as_o it_o be_v owe_v from_o they_o to_o we_o upon_o the_o like_a occasion_n for_o in_o this_o case_n there_o be_v but_o one_o rule_n for_o they_o and_o we_o to_o walk_v and_o judge_v by_o therefore_o let_v a_o man_n be_v never_o so_o much_o in_o the_o right_a let_v his_o zeal_n for_o truth_n be_v never_o so_o great_a yet_o if_o his_o zeal_n do_v devour_v his_o charity_n sour_a and_o corrupt_a his_o spirit_n embitter_v and_o provoke_v he_o beyond_o what_o be_v seemly_a and_o convenient_a let_v his_o cause_n be_v never_o so_o good_a his_o argument_n never_o so_o strong_a if_o they_o fail_v in_o this_o all_o the_o rest_n signify_v not_o much_o the_o lack_n of_o this_o one_o thing_n make_v all_o the_o rest_n defective_a and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n unsuccessful_a for_o let_v i_o appeal_v to_o the_o most_o zealous_a boarnarge_n of_o they_o all_o can_v any_o man_n who_o believe_v the_o scripture_n read_v the_o 13_o chapter_n of_o st._n paul_n fi●st_a epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n which_o treat_v purposely_o on_o the_o necessity_n and_o commendation_n of_o this_o most_o excellent_a grace_n of_o charity_n i_o say_v can_v he_o read_v that_o and_o yet_o think_v it_o possible_a to_o be_v a_o good_a christian_a or_o discharge_v a_o good_a conscience_n without_o it_o for_o do_v he_o not_o prefer_v it_o to_o the_o tongue_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n to_o the_o gift_n of_o prophecy_n and_o work_v of_o miracle_n nay_o do_v he_o not_o prefer_v charity_n before_o the_o most_o comprehensive_a knowledge_n miraculous_a faith_n liberal_a alms-deed_n and_o voluntary_a martyrdom_n 1_o cor._n 3.1_o etc._n etc._n though_o i_o speak_v with_o the_o tongue_n of_o man_n or_o angel_n though_o i_o have_v the_o gift_n of_o prophecy_n and_o understand_v all_o mystery_n and_o all_o knowledge_n and_o though_o i_o have_v all_o faith_n and_o though_o i_o bestow_v all_o my_o good_n to_o feed_v the_o poor_a and_o though_o i_o give_v my_o body_n to_o be_v burn_v and_o have_v not_o charity_n it_o profit_v i_o nothing_o now_o the_o excellency_n and_o advantage_n which_o charity_n have_v over_o all_o other_o gift_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n be_v prove_v at_o large_a from_o the_o wonderful_a good_a office_n and_o effect_n thereof_o charity_n suffer_v long_o and_o be_v kind_a envy_v not_o vaunt_v not_o itself_o be_v not_o puff_v up_o nor_o easy_o provoke_v it_o rejoice_v in_o nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n it_o bear_v believe_v hope_n and_o endure_v all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o conclusion_n he_o give_v charity_n the_o preference_n of_o all_o other_o verse_n 13._o now_o abide_v faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n these_o three_o but_o the_o great_a of_o these_o be_v charity_n our_o religion_n and_o consequent_o our_o church_n though_o she_o condemn_v division_n and_o separation_n in_o all_o those_o that_o leave_v off_o and_o depart_v from_o her_o communion_n yet_o do_v not_o whole_o exclude_v they_o from_o her_o charity_n and_o therefore_o neither_o shall_v we_o from_o we_o mere_o upon_o the_o difference_n of_o opinion_n and_o especial_o if_o this_o difference_n be_v for_o conscience_n sake_n and_o not_o out_o of_o faction_n and_o frowardness_n as_o i_o say_v before_o and_o will_v always_o be_v understand_v and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v think_v to_o speak_v without_o book_n or_o affirm_v more_o than_o our_o church_n will_v own_v i_o shall_v refer_v you_o to_o that_o excellent_a piece_n call_v the_o moderation_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n out_o of_o which_o i_o have_v collect_v a_o few_o passage_n some_o whereof_o i_o have_v repeat_v more_o at_o large_a queen_n elizabeth_z in_o her_o injunction_n 1559._o declare_v that_o her_o majesty_n be_v most_o desirous_a of_o all_o other_o earthly_a thing_n tha●_n her_o people_n shall_v live_v in_o charity_n both_o towards_o god_n and_o man_n and_o therein_o abound_v in_o good_a work_n will_n and_o straight_o command_v all_o her_o subject_n to_o forbear_v all_o vain_a and_o contentious_a disputation_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o not_o to_o use_v in_o despite_n or_o rebuke_v of_o any_o person_n these_o convitious_a or_o revile_v word_n of_o papist_n heretic_n satismatick_a or_o sacramentary_a or_o any_o such_o like_a expression_n of_o reproach_n that_o be_v we_o ought_v not_o to_o use_v these_o or_o the_o like_a expression_n in_o way_n of_o reproach_n or_o vilify_n of_o one_o another_o as_o some_o in_o the_o heat_n of_o their_o wrangle_n and_o contention_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o do_v to_o the_o exasperate_n rather_o than_o convince_a of_o gainsayer_n and_o king_n james_n that_o learned_a and_o judicious_a prince_n forbid_v pulpit_n to_o be_v make_v pasquil_n and_o give_v in_o charge_n to_o the_o archbishop_n that_o no_o preacher_n of_o any_o denomination_n whatsoever_o shall_v presume_v to_o fall_v into_o bitter_a invective_n and_o undecent_a rail_n against_o the_o person_n of_o either_o papist_n or_o puritan_n but_o modest_o and_o grave_o when_o they_o be_v occasion_v by_o their_o text_n free_a both_o the_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n from_o the_o aspersion_n of_o the_o adversary_n to_o which_o we_o may_v add_v that_o memorable_a passage_n out_o of_o archbishop_n laud._n the_o church_n of_o england_n say_v he_o be_v not_o such_o a_o shrew_n to_o her_o child_n as_o to_o deny_v her_o blessing_n ordenounce_v a_o

exhort_v therein_o so_o to_o read_v the_o scripture_n that_o by_o read_v thereof_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o better_a liver_n rather_o than_o the_o more_o contentious_a disputer_n and_o if_o any_o

a_o division_n etc._n etc._n but_o for_o the_o reader_n further_a satisfaction_n therein_o if_o he_o desire_v it_o i_o shall_v refer_v he_o to_o the_o book_n itself_o above_o mention_v where_o the_o learned_a author_n give_v a_o account_n of_o the_o church_n great_a charity_n and_o moderation_n throughout_o all_o the_o part_n and_o branch_n of_o her_o constitution_n which_o bespeak_v she_o of_o a_o true_o christian_n and_o primitive_a temper_n wherein_o i_o wish_v all_o her_o child_n will_v follow_v and_o imitate_v she_o and_o thereby_o set_v a_o example_n to_o all_o those_o that_o be_v otherwise_o mind_v or_o dissent_v from_o our_o church_n in_o this_o as_o well_o as_o in_o other_o instance_n of_o their_o duty_n for_o methinks_v those_o that_o will_v set_v up_o for_o serious_a conscientious_a person_n ought_v not_o to_o break_v the_o bond_n of_o christian_a charity_n nor_o pass_v the_o bound_n of_o the_o church_n moderation_n by_o indulge_v their_o passion_n or_o give_v way_n to_o a_o peevish_a froward_a and_o invidious_a humour_n against_o all_o that_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n or_o pure_o out_o of_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n for_o i_o can_v never_o yet_o be_v persuade_v that_o rail_a and_o ill_a language_n against_o papist_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n or_o dissenter_n on_o the_o other_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v a_o distinguish_a character_n of_o a_o true_o loyal_a son_n of_o the_o church_n special_o when_o i_o consider_v that_o most_o of_o those_o that_o be_v addict_v thereunto_o be_v least_o capable_a of_o convince_a they_o otherways_o or_o if_o they_o be_v yet_o this_o seem_v the_o most_o unlikely_a way_n they_o can_v take_v for_o the_o do_v of_o it_o for_o we_o be_v tell_v that_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n work_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n james_n 1.20_o now_o if_o you_o will_v see_v the_o indecency_n and_o unseemlyness_n of_o ill_a language_n and_o reproachful_a speech_n i_o need_v but_o remind_v you_o of_o the_o rude_a and_o slovenly_a expression_n that_o be_v common_o use_v and_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o venom_n spit_v in_o the_o face_n of_o our_o church_n they_o can_v hardly_o find_v any_o other_o name_n for_o a_o surpliss_n than_o that_o of_o a_o superstitious_a rag_n and_o relic_n of_o popery_n though_o there_o may_v be_v more_o popery_n and_o
