lord_n live_v yet_o they_o swear_v false_o thus_o may_v you_o see_v in_o this_o brief_a discourse_n the_o heap_n of_o adversary_n which_o the_o church_n always_o have_v have_v and_o yet_o have_v work_v under_o the_o colour_n of_o holiness_n by_o reason_n whereof_o they_o have_v not_o only_o bring_v their_o mischivous_a purpose_n the_o soon_o to_o pass_v as_o it_o be_v say_v before_o in_o hinder_v the_o build_n of_o true_a holiness_n but_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o credit_n and_o honour_n of_o the_o godly_a have_v be_v embase_v and_o oftentimes_o have_v in_o suspicion_n yea_o condemn_v among_o a_o great_a many_o of_o indifferent_a worldling_n wherefore_o that_o the_o one_o may_v the_o better_o be_v know_v from_o the_o other_o even_o as_o i_o have_v before_o lay_v down_o the_o manner_n and_o behaviour_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o their_o hypocrisy_n so_o will_v i_o as_o my_o text_n lead_v i_o lay_v down_o the_o conversation_n and_o behaviour_n of_o the_o godly_a with_o their_o profession_n that_o as_o the_o one_o be_v see_v &_o know_v by_o hypocrisy_n so_o the_o other_o may_v be_v see_v and_o know_v by_o constancy_n in_o zerubbabell_a otherwise_o call_v barachias_n together_o with_o jeshua_n &_o the_o rest_n father_n of_o israel_n be_v find_v this_o godly_a disposition_n 1_o that_o they_o refuse_v the_o adversary_n offer_v help_v loathe_v to_o join_v with_o they_o 2_o they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o build_v together_o 3_o unto_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o their_o good_a profession_n &_o constancy_n it_o appear_v that_o they_o allow_v not_o of_o the_o offer_a help_n and_o assistance_n of_o the_o adversary_n although_o indeed_o the_o present_a occasion_n of_o new_a repair_v their_o city_n 3419._o anno_fw-la mun_n

erect_v by_o none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v unfeigned_o the_o lord_n workman_n wherefore_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o godly_a purpose_n in_o the_o child_n of_o god_n to_o refuse_v these_o adversary_n and_o not_o to_o esteem_v of_o their_o labour_n for_o two_o cause_n first_o for_o that_o they_o wax_v not_o faint_a nor_o weary_a in_o the_o travel_n &_o performance_n of_o good_a thing_n dedicate_v to_o the_o lord_n second_o that_o they_o refuse_v to_o join_v themselves_o to_o the_o wicked_a know_v the_o inconvenience_n of_o a_o wicked_a participation_n in_o the_o which_o two_o consideration_n if_o god_n people_n do_v well_o consider_v of_o this_o precedent_n so_o long_o lay_v before_o their_o eye_n as_o a_o good_a example_n it_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v a_o fruitful_a pattern_n for_o in_o that_o they_o shrink_v not_o at_o so_o great_a a_o labour_n but_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v it_o themselves_o it_o be_v notable_a for_o we_o to_o learn_v special_o in_o these_o day_n to_o do_v our_o godly_a exercise_n &_o labour_n especial_o which_o be_v dedicate_v to_o the_o lord_n our_o own_o self_n without_o the_o care_n of_o our_o own_o pain_n or_o the_o trust_n we_o shall_v repose_v in_o
