truth_n as_o they_o call_v it_o that_o go_v with_o prosperity_n but_o whatsoever_o be_v on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v error_n if_o it_o bring_v not_o gain_v but_o these_o man_n i_o may_v say_v they_o be_v friend_n to_o the_o world_n and_o enemy_n to_o god_n and_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v call_v christ_n disciple_n word_n god_n will_v one_o day_n interpret_v his_o own_o word_n and_o there_o will_v be_v a_o time_n when_o god_n will_v come_v to_o interpret_v and_o expound_v his_o own_o word_n you_o shall_v all_o be_v judge_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o you_o shall_v be_v judge_v as_o god_n interpret_v that_o word_n therefore_o you_o that_o follow_v truth_n now_o on_o that_o fashion_n i_o say_v to_o you_o as_o learned_a mr_n dyke_n say_v it_o be_v a_o observable_a speech_n when_o he_o be_v speak_v of_o non-residents_a or_o pluralist_n he_o bring_v he_o answer_v for_o himself_o before_o the_o lord_n as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o last_o day_n there_o god_n will_v tell_v thou_o if_o thou_o have_v love_v i_o thou_o will_v have_v feed_v my_o flock_n thou_o will_v say_v i_o feed_v they_o by_o myself_o or_o by_o my_o curate_n but_o say_v he_o what_o if_o that_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n when_o thou_o come_v there_o so_o you_o take_v any_o thing_n for_o truth_n if_o it_o hold_v with_o gain_n and_o prosperity_n you_o will_v wrest_v any_o scripture_n but_o when_o god_n shall_v interpret_v his_o own_o scripture_n and_o you_o shall_v be_v judge_v by_o they_o what_o if_o that_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o those_o scripture_n as_o your_o pamphlet_n and_o carnal_a sermon_n say_v look_v to_o it_o persecution_n godly_a man_n think_v that_o truth_n that_o go_v with_o persecution_n but_o one_o the_o other_o side_n there_o be_v a_o devout_a jealousy_n in_o a_o godly_a man_n that_o he_o think_v that_o that_o be_v always_o truth_n that_o go_v with_o persecution_n and_o that_o error_n go_v with_o peace_n and_o herein_o the_o honest_a heart_n often_o miss_v the_o will_n of_o god_n than_o the_o other_o way_n as_o honest_a jehoshaphat_n when_o fourehundred_n prophet_n bid_v they_o go_v to_o ramath_n gilead_n and_o prosper_v he_o think_v this_o too_o good_a to_o be_v true_a he_o suspect_v it_o be_v not_o the_o way_n of_o god_n it_o be_v so_o smooth_a there_o be_v too_o much_o peace_n he_o will_v have_v micajah_n tell_v they_o the_o truth_n so_o when_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n see_v peace_n and_o prosperity_n go_v along_o with_o a_o way_n they_o be_v jealous_a that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o way_n of_o god_n as_o for_o instance_n if_o you_o tell_v a_o man_n that_o the_o way_n to_o canterbury_n or_o york_n be_v a_o rough_a &_o dirty_a way_n if_o a_o man_n be_v go_v thither_o and_o find_v a_o piece_n of_o fair_a way_n he_o be_v jealous_a he_o be_v out_o of_o his_o way_n because_o he_o be_v tell_v it_o be_v a_o rough_a foul_a way_n so_o christ_n say_v that_o we_o must_v suffer_v persecution_n and_o through_o many_o tribulation_n we_o shall_v enter_v into_o heaven_n now_o when_o a_o saint_n find_v a_o little_a piece_n of_o fair_a way_n he_o think_v he_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n it_o can_v be_v peace_n and_o prosperity_n that_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o the_o wicked_a herein_o a_o honest_a heart_n be_v oft_o deceive_v than_o in_o the_o other_o therefore_o to_o direct_v you_o know_v that_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n be_v not_o always_o companion_n of_o the_o truth_n yet_o sometime_o riches_n and_o honour_n and_o prosperity_n be_v with_o the_o truth_n truth_n peace_n and_o prosperity_n sometime_o go_v with_o truth_n as_o i_o may_v prove_v out_o of_o the_o proverb_n riches_n and_o honour_n be_v in_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o wisdom_n many_o time_n there_o be_v honour_n though_o not_o ordinary_o the_o ordinary_a way_n be_v persecution_n but_o sometime_o there_o be_v honour_n and_o wealth_n with_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n when_o there_o be_v persecution_n and_o trouble_n to_o the_o wicked_a therefore_o though_o it_o be_v a_o good_a rule_n general_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o absolute_a therefore_o let_v i_o speak_v to_o you_o poor_a lamb_n and_o weak_a soul_n that_o i_o be_o six_o time_n more_o jealous_a of_o you_o that_o you_o shall_v be_v out_o in_o this_o devotion_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v carry_v aside_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a i_o fear_v not_o you_o that_o be_v drunkard_n and_o swearer_n and_o cozener_n etc._n etc._n but_o you_o poor_a creature_n you_o will_v find_v some_o course_n that_o have_v more_o persecution_n and_o that_o must_v be_v the_o truth_n and_o so_o you_o run_v and_o miss_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o exod_n 23.1_o the_o lord_n say_v thou_o shall_v not_o follow_v a_o multitude_n to_o do_v evil_a and_o what_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n thou_o shall_v not_o favour_v a_o poor_a man_n in_o his_o cause_n if_o he_o have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o favour_v a_o rich_a man_n it_o have_v be_v no_o wonder_n for_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o favour_v they_o but_o he_o say_v favour_n not_o a_o poor_a man_n many_o time_n a_o man_n in_o judgement_n out_o of_o a_o kind_n of_o devotion_n and_o charity_n and_o mercy_n may_v stick_v to_o a_o poor_a man_n against_o a_o rich_a man_n and_o yet_o pervert_v justice_n therefore_o thou_o shall_v favour_v neither_o rich_a nor_o poor_a in_o justice_n but_o as_o solomon_n say_v pro._n 4._o let_v thy_o eye_n look_v straight_o before_o thou_o and_o thy_o eyelide_n right_a on_o turn_v not_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n nor_o to_o the_o left_a remove_v thy_o foot_n from_o evil_a look_v straight_o on_o say_v he_o i_o know_v the_o ordinary_a way_n to_o heaven_n be_v persecution_n and_o affliction_n but_o sometime_o it_o be_v otherwise_o therefore_o let_v i_o keep_v the_o

a_o way_n to_o escape_v persecution_n take_v heed_n of_o carnal_a wisdom_n wherein_o be_v it_o in_o a_o word_n carnal_a wisdom_n will_v make_v thing_n absolute_o command_v and_o forbid_v to_o be_v
