false_a doctrine_n to_o arise_v to_o seduce_v many_o so_o that_o the_o romish_a antichrist_n arise_v who_o challenge_v the_o authority_n of_o god_n to_o himself_o in_o abrogate_a divine_a ordinance_n and_o make_v new_a in_o bind_v conscience_n in_o pardon_v sin_n and_o in_o make_v a_o god_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o how_o many_o follow_v this_o worship_n now_o whence_o be_v it_o but_o that_o by_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n they_o dash_v against_o this_o rock_n which_o have_v not_o receive_v a_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o the_o same_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v among_o we_o for_o when_o the_o love_n of_o religion_n have_v long_o since_o begin_v to_o decay_v god_n have_v send_v such_o as_o shall_v embrace_v the_o same_o in_o show_n only_o have_v not_o this_o scandal_n cause_v that_o many_o who_o begin_v to_o profess_v religion_n long_o since_o have_v make_v yet_o so_o small_a progress_n many_o that_o have_v go_v well_o on_o be_v go_v backward_o and_o few_o that_o increase_a persevere_v hence_o it_o come_v by_o god_n just_a judgement_n that_o the_o evil_n we_o see_v in_o other_o we_o follow_v as_o a_o banner_n display_v this_o be_v the_o first_o reason_n of_o this_o necessity_n which_o teach_v that_o man_n be_v far_o off_o from_o that_o happiness_n they_o dream_v feign_v to_o themselves_o while_o they_o enjoy_v occasion_n and_o liberty_n of_o sin_n without_o controlment_n for_o then_o be_v they_o carry_v with_o the_o heavy_a judgement_n of_o god_n if_o they_o have_v eye_n to_o see_v it_o as_o the_o prophet_n above_o do_v bewail_v the_o people_n case_n in_o this_o behalf_n and_o such_o as_o christ_n in_o justice_n leave_v the_o pharise_n unto_o saying_n let_v they_o alone_o and_o the_o scripture_n he_o that_o be_v filthy_a let_v he_o be_v filthy_a dan._n 12.10_o the_o second_o reason_n of_o this_o necessity_n be_v the_o depravation_n of_o man_n for_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v to_o wit_n man_n wicked_a nature_n be_v such_o as_o it_o be_v confirm_v by_o evil_a custom_n as_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o fire_n burn_v and_o a_o evil_a tree_n bring_v evil_a fruit_n so_o it_o can_v not_o be_v that_o our_o corruption_n shall_v bring_v forth_o any_o thing_n but_o evil_n not_o that_o this_o depravation_n be_v plant_v in_o we_o by_o our_o maker_n but_o that_o we_o voluntary_o have_v contract_v the_o same_o to_o we_o in_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n for_o if_o it_o be_v in_o we_o by_o creation_n it_o can_v not_o be_v put_v off_o by_o no_o mean_n nor_o in_o no_o measure_n as_o by_o no_o mean_n the_o fire_n can_v be_v make_v to_o cool_v or_o the_o stone_n to_o fly_v and_o therefore_o see_v many_o holy_a man_n do_v in_o part_n put_v of_o this_o corruption_n it_o be_v apparent_a it_o be_v not_o essential_a to_o man_n nature_n now_o the_o particular_a corruption_n which_o in_o man_n be_v the_o procure_a cause_n and_o instrument_n of_o scandal_n be_v these_o first_o a_o want_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n second_o the_o want_n of_o the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n hatred_n against_o some_o private_a person_n love_v of_o our_o estimation_n profit_n pleasure_n honour_n and_o in_o general_a the_o whole_a corruption_n of_o man_n whereby_o the_o tongue_n be_v make_v a_o scandal_n by_o evil_a speak_n the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n by_o be_v weapon_n of_o iniquity_n blindness_n of_o mind_n frowardness_n of_o will_n perverseness_n of_o affection_n self-love_n naughty_a conscience_n conceit_n of_o one_o own_o wit_n holiness_n and_o righteousness_n and_o a_o aptness_n to_o receive_v any_o evil_n from_o another_o as_o one_o body_n receive_v infection_n from_o another_o these_o be_v the_o subserve_a cause_n to_o which_o the_o devil_n insinuate_v himself_o use_v this_o consideration_n do_v serve_v lively_a to_o decipher_v to_o we_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o natural_a corruption_n see_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n and_o a_o cause_n of_o sin_n and_o much_o woe_n and_o misery_n and_o in_o all_o these_o take_v away_o all_o excuse_n from_o man_n as_o will_v appear_v below_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v the_o final_a cause_n of_o scandal_n which_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o elect_n be_v their_o trial_n for_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o the_o father_n that_o the_o elect_v be_v try_v that_o the_o chaff_n may_v be_v sever_v from_o the_o wheat_n that_o his_o gold_n may_v be_v purge_v his_o power_n in_o preserve_v may_v shine_v in_o our_o weakness_n and_o his_o mercy_n in_o our_o misery_n and_o the_o truth_n and_o power_n of_o god_n grace_n may_v be_v know_v to_o be_v great_a while_o thereby_o the_o godly_a be_v preserve_v from_o the_o common_a infection_n as_o we_o admire_v those_o constitution_n on_o those_o receipt_n of_o art_n whereby_o man_n live_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o infect_a air_n and_o person_n be_v yet_o free_a from_o the_o infection_n this_o consideration_n afford_v a_o double_a use_n use_v first_o it_o be_v a_o singular_a comfort_n to_o the_o godly_a in_o this_o necessity_n of_o so_o great_a misery_n that_o these_o scandal_n be_v only_o for_o their_o trial_n and_o not_o for_o their_o confusion_n it_o may_v be_v their_o foot_n may_v trip_v against_o these_o block_n so_o that_o for_o a_o while_o they_o may_v go_v slow_o forward_a in_o the_o way_n of_o piety_n but_o they_o shall_v never_o so_o fall_v as_o to_o depart_v from_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n math._n 24.24_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o strange_a delusion_n that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a the_o elect_n shall_v be_v seduce_v thereby_o infer_v to_o their_o endless_a comfort_n that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a this_o be_v the_o privilege_n of_o god_n child_n and_o the_o staff_n of_o comfort_n in_o all_o misery_n use_v second_o this_o may_v serve_v to_o admonish_v unstable_a person_n as_o brownist_n who_o if_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o they_o persuade_v themselves_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v prejudice_v in_o their_o salvation_n it_o shall_v be_v only_o for_o their_o trial_n therefore_o consider_v this_o end_n why_o god_n permit_v these_o scandal_n it_o shall_v be_v a_o effectual_a mean_n to_o strengthen_v they_o against_o they_o it_o shall_v turn_v to_o our_o further_a praise_n and_o glory_n if_o we_o can_v will_n and_o without_o offence_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o froward_a and_o crooked_a generation_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o necessity_n in_o the_o four_o place_n a_o secret_a objection_n offer_v itself_o to_o be_v satisfy_v which_o be_v this_o object_n that_o if_o a_o necessity_n be_v on_o these_o scandal_n than_o the_o author_n thereof_o be_v not_o faulty_a and_o this_o doctrine_n may_v seem_v to_o make_v man_n desperate_a since_o these_o can_v be_v avoid_v answ_n to_o this_o christ_n answer_v that_o this_o necessity_n do_v not_o excerpt_v the_o author_n of_o scandal_n from_o bla●●_n and_o punishment_n for_o there_o be_v a_o double_a necessity_n the_o first_o be_v of_o coaction_n or_o constraint_n when_o by_o some_o outward_a force_n and_o not_o of_o any_o internal_a and_o voluntary_a motion_n one_o be_v compel_v to_o the_o do_v of_o a_o thing_n as_o a_o stone_n by_o force_n be_v make_v to_o

because_o it_o take_v not_o away_o freedom_n this_o be_v brief_o set_v down_o but_o excellent_o by_o that_o learned_a and_o judicious_a writer_n doctor_n abbot_n out_o of_o barnard_n it_o be_v a_o

because_o it_o be_v entangle_v with_o delight_n therein_o wherein_o will_n take_v from_o man_n all_o matter_n of_o defence_n and_o necessity_n bereave_v he_o of_o possibility_n of_o amendment_n of_o
