those_o that_o proceed_v from_o feign_a friend_n under_o the_o colour_n of_o love_n and_o desire_v of_o our_o good_a if_o satan_n have_v come_v unto_o eve_n and_o tell_v she_o i_o charge_v you_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o garden_n &_o whatsoever_o the_o danger_n be_v stand_v not_o upon_o that_o for_o i_o will_v have_v your_o husband_n and_o you_o to_o be_v damn_v she_o will_v never_o have_v hearken_v unto_o he_o but_o when_o he_o persuade_v she_o that_o he_o be_v her_o friend_n and_o mean_v her_o good_a namely_o that_o by_o eat_v thereof_o she_o may_v be_v make_v like_o unto_o god_n himself_o know_v both_o good_a and_o evil_a then_o be_v she_o overtake_v by_o he_o and_o so_o be_v overcome_v herself_o she_o become_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o deceive_v her_o husband_n in_o like_a sort_n and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o that_o have_v hold_v out_o well_o against_o rage_v and_o violent_a temptation_n and_o yet_o have_v be_v foul_o draw_v aside_o and_o shameful_o foil_v by_o mild_a temptation_n unto_o profit_n or_o pleasure_n or_o credit_n second_o the_o false_a deal_n of_o such_o counterfeit_a friend_n do_v much_o more_o afflict_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n than_o any_o injurious_a action_n of_o manifest_a adversary_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o that_o psalm_n of_o david_n where_o he_o say_v sure_o my_o enemy_n do_v not_o defame_v i_o for_o i_o can_v have_v bear_v it_o etc._n etc._n 55.12.13_o psai_n 55.12.13_o but_o it_o be_v thou_o o_o man_n even_o my_o companion_n my_o guide_n and_o my_o familiar_a etc._n etc._n when_o his_o word_n be_v smooth_a and_o soft_a than_o butter_n and_o yet_o prove_v deceitful_a they_o go_v through_o his_o heart_n even_o as_o sword_n and_o this_o be_v just_a upon_o he_o because_o he_o have_v deal_v in_o that_o sort_n with_o his_o faithful_a subject_n vriah_n seem_v to_o favour_v he_o by_o employ_v he_o in_o special_a service_n when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o take_v away_o his_o life_n that_o he_o may_v cover_v his_o own_o iniquity_n first_o therefore_o let_v this_o instruct_v we_o to_o take_v another_o course_n if_o we_o have_v inward_a dislike_n let_v we_o profess_v it_o use_v 1_o if_o we_o carry_v a_o love_a affection_n let_v we_o make_v show_n of_o it_o and_o love_v not_o in_o word_n alone_o but_o in_o deed_n as_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v especial_o let_v we_o look_v unto_o this_o in_o matter_n betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o let_v we_o not_o play_v the_o hypocrite_n with_o he_o pretend_v a_o love_n unto_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n when_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n and_o draw_v near_o unto_o he_o with_o our_o lip_n when_o our_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o he_o for_o in_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v offer_v great_a injury_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o do_v more_o hurt_n at_o length_n then_o those_o that_o be_v profess_v papist_n or_o atheist_n for_o such_o as_o flatter_v with_o their_o lip_n and_o dissemble_v with_o a_o double_a heart_n in_o thing_n that_o concern_v the_o holy_a religion_n of_o god_n if_o any_o persecution_n come_v will_v quite_o renounce_v their_o profession_n and_o betray_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n and_o grieve_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o harden_v the_o heart_n and_o open_v the_o blasphemous_a mouth_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o make_v many_o to_o fall_v by_o their_o revolt_n and_o backslide_v therefore_o let_v every_o one_o that_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o profession_n of_o christianity_n be_v a_o true_a &_o not_o a_o feign_a friend_n of_o the_o same_o and_o

purpose_n withal_o the_o lord_n promise_v 15._o verse_n 15._o that_o he_o will_v be_v with_o he_o and_o keep_v he_o so_o psal_n 34.15_o it_o be_v set_v down_o as_o a_o great_a consolation_n unto_o the_o saint_n that_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v upon_o therighteous_a instruction_n use_v that_o we_o shall_v labour_v not_o only_o to_o be_v in_o jerusalem_n but_o to_o be_v of_o it_o and_o then_o when_o god_n judgement_n be_v abroad_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o no_o danger_n god_n will_v command_v his_o faithful_a angel_n to_o do_v we_o no_o hurt_n wherein_o if_o they_o shall_v refuse_v to_o obey_v they_o must_v needs_o become_v devil_n and_o reprobate_a spirit_n which_o be_v impossible_a let_v we_o labour_v therefore_o to_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o those_o that_o mourn_n for_o the_o abomination_n of_o jerusalem_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v save_v when_o other_o be_v destroy_v let_v we_o grieve_v for_o the_o impiety_n and_o blasphemy_n and_o cruelty_n and_o impurity_n that_o be_v in_o our_o land_n so_o shall_v we_o have_v a_o testimony_n unto_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o be_v jerusalem_n but_o as_o for_o those_o that_o be_v babel_n egyps_n sodom_n who_o house_n be_v

for_o matter_n of_o guilt_n so_o also_o for_o matter_n of_o punishment_n we_o see_v in_o moses_n 32._o exod._n 32._o that_o because_o the_o people_n be_v many_o and_o he_o be_v but_o one_o he_o entreat_v god_n that_o he_o may_v be_v wipe_v out_o of_o his_o book_n rather_o than_o all_o his_o people_n shall_v be_v destroy_v but_o especial_o this_o point_n be_v verify_v in_o our_o saviour_n who_o when_o mankind_n be_v utter_o insufficient_a either_o to_o put_v in_o surety_n philip._n philip._n or_o to_o discharge_v their_o debt_n do_v humble_v himself_o to_o take_v on_o he_o the_o

unto_o eternal_a life_n and_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v reason_n first_o because_o good_a man_n be_v endue_v with_o that_o amiable_a grace_n of_o brotherly_a love_n which_o cause_v they_o not_o so_o

that_o be_v ready_a to_o shift_v off_o all_o from_o themselves_o and_o though_o they_o be_v whole_o or_o most_o in_o fault_n yet_o will_v lay_v the_o blame_n altogether_o on_o other_o here_o also_o be_v those_o hypocrite_n to_o be_v reprehend_v that_o will_v lay_v heavy_a burden_n and_o require_v strict_a obedience_n of_o other_o especial_o of_o minister_n and_o yet_o they_o themselves_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o any_o sin_n be_v it_o never_o so_o contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o of_o man_n other_o there_o be_v also_o that_o may_v just_o come_v under_o this_o reproof_n that_o
