enjoyment_n that_o god_n do_v not_o expect_v we_o shall_v make_v ourselves_o miserable_a by_o a_o perpetual_a abstinence_n and_o self-denial_n but_o we_o be_v to_o make_v the_o interest_n of_o virtue_n and_o the_o honour_n of_o religion_n the_o measure_n of_o our_o abstinence_n and_o enjoyment_n in_o these_o case_n there_o must_v be_v a_o prudence_n and_o a_o temperance_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o so_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o every_o man_n that_o strive_v for_o the_o mastery_n be_v temperate_a in_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o he_o keep_v under_o his_o body_n and_o bring_v it_o into_o subjection_n lest_o that_o by_o any_o mean_n when_o he_o have_v preach_v to_o other_o he_o himself_o shall_v be_v a_o cast_v away_o but_o in_o another_o place_n he_o tell_v we_o express_o speak_v of_o the_o painful_a and_o unnatural_a mortification_n of_o some_o in_o those_o time_n such_o as_o be_v some_o among_o the_o pharisee_n and_o the_o essenes_n and_o such_o as_o follow_v the_o severe_a discipline_n of_o the_o son_n of_o jonadab_n the_o son_n of_o recab_n and_o some_o no_o doubt_n that_o pretend_v to_o be_v christian_n likewise_o that_o bodily_a exercise_n profit_v nothing_o but_o

ourselves_o and_o of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v and_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o that_o chapter_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o spirit_n speak_v express_o that_o in_o the_o latter_a time_n some_o shall_v depart_v from_o the_o faith_n give_v heed_n to_o seduce_a spirit_n and_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n that_o be_v doctrine_n exhort_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o demon_n or_o angel_n or_o depart_v spirit_n speaking_z lie_z in_o hypocrisy_n have_v their_o conscience_n sear_v with_o a_o hot_a iron_n the_o very_a picture_n of_o the_o jesuit_n at_o this_o day_n who_o do_v not_o only_o practice_v but_o defend_v in_o their_o write_n the_o doctrine_n of_o equivocation_n and_o than_o it_o follow_v forbid_v to_o marry_v and_o command_v to_o abstain_v from_o meat_n and_o who_o they_o be_v that_o

religious_a as_o they_o be_v call_v abroad_o a_o man_n will_v be_v incline_v to_o think_v they_o be_v not_o the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n but_o of_o john_n and_o that_o they_o take_v part_n with_o the_o baptist_n against_o the_o messiah_n accuse_v he_o as_o his_o enemy_n the_o jew_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v that_o he_o be_v a_o glutton_n and_o a_o wine-bibber_n and_o a_o friend_n of_o publican_n and_o sinner_n and_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o though_o john_n the_o baptist_n be_v a_o great_a example_n of_o abstinence_n himself_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o he_o enjoin_v any_o such_o thing_n to_o his_o follower_n and_o disciple_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a every_o man_n be_v admit_v to_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n upon_o the_o sole_a and_o only_a condition_n of_o repentance_n and_o be_v as_o to_o other_o thing_n so_o far_o as_o be_v consistent_a with_o virtue_n and_o with_o prudence_n leave_v to_o be_v guide_v by_o his_o constitution_n and_o by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o his_o life_n and_o fortune_n seven_o by_o a_o due_a reflection_n upon_o the_o divine_a extension_n we_o shall_v be_v excuse_v from_o the_o shame_n and_o inconvenience_n of_o auricular_a confession_n as_o it_o be_v practise_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n at_o this_o day_n for_o god_n do_v not_o expect_v that_o we_o shall_v make_v a_o particular_a confession_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o man_n the_o consequence_n of_o which_o be_v only_o to_o make_v ourselves_o uneasy_a in_o the_o company_n of_o those_o to_o who_o we_o have_v confess_v to_o run_v a_o apparent_a hazard_n of_o be_v undo_v in_o many_o case_n by_o knave_n for_o interest_n or_o by_o fool_n out_o of_o levity_n inconstancy_n and_o a_o blab_a humour_n and_o indeed_o i_o know_v nothing_o that_o it_o can_v be_v good_a for_o but_o to_o let_v man_n that_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v to_o pry_v into_o such_o matter_n into_o the_o secret_n of_o family_n and_o to_o put_v ourselves_o perfect_o at_o the_o

corrupt_v it_o and_o tend_v to_o the_o debauch_v both_o laity_n and_o clergy_n in_o as_o many_o way_n as_o there_o be_v sin_n to_o be_v commit_v when_o the_o confessor_n and_o the_o penitent_a begin_v to_o discover_v and_o understand_v one_o another_o but_o we_o be_v oblige_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o man_n to_o make_v a_o general_a confession_n and_o we_o be_v in_o our_o thought_n as_o we_o go_v along_o to_o apply_v that_o general_a confession_n to_o our_o particular_a sin_n and_o before_o god_n who_o be_v a_o witness_n and_o a_o spectator_n of_o our_o evil_a way_n who_o be_v so_o intimate_o present_a to_o all_o our_o thought_n and_o action_n that_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o think_v of_o conceal_v any_o thing_n from_o he_o we_o be_v to_o bewail_v and_o bemoan_v ourselves_o in_o
