goodness_n &_o honesty_n before_o man_n labour_v by_o his_o good_a conversation_n to_o edify_v all_o man_n to_o the_o advancement_n of_o their_o salvation_n and_o all_o this_o he_o do_v because_o he_o

be_v place_v in_o cross_n and_o though_o these_o mark_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v sufficient_a to_o know_v a_o true_a christian_a by_o yet_o notwithstanding_o beside_o those_o mark_n of_o holiness_n

a_o christian_a man_n stand_v in_o the_o mortification_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n outward_o as_o the_o former_a do_v in_o the_o inward_a man_n and_o yet_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o proceed_v out_o of_o one_o head_n which_o be_v the_o fellowship_n we_o have_v with_o christ_n which_o can_v not_o be_v separate_a from_o the_o cross_n for_o this_o cause_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o the_o cross_n because_o the_o world_n do_v for_o the_o most_o part_n hate_v it_o as_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n be_v whole_o contrary_a to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n the_o one_o seek_v god_n glory_n the_o other_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o enemy_n to_o the_o first_o because_o the_o light_n of_o that_o gospel_n discover_v the_o darkness_n of_o it_o &_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n make_v manifest_a and_o bring_v to_o light_v the_o error_n and_o lie_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o because_o the_o world_n can_v not_o endure_v it_o &_o see_v that_o it_o can_v not_o maintain_v itself_o in_o credit_n by_o the_o may_v of_o truth_n and_o peace_n it_o strive_v to_o do_v it_o by_o the_o way_n of_o lie_v cog_a and_o violence_n as_o it_o be_v in_o deed_n a_o liar_n &_o murderer_n so_o that_o they_o that_o be_v account_v and_o take_v for_o the_o wise_a the_o discrete_a of_o great_a power_n and_o holiness_n be_v sometime_o the_o first_o that_o band_n themselves_o against_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n as_o they_o that_o feel_v themselves_o most_o grieve_v and_o therefore_o the_o jew_n do_v more_o heinous_o a_o great_a deal_n persecute_v christ_n then_o the_o gentile_n &_o amongst_o they_o the_o pharisee_n and_o high_a priest_n more_o than_o the_o common_a people_n and_o so_o at_o this_o day_n the_o chief_a among_o the_o false_a christian_n and_o member_n of_o antichrist_n be_v enemy_n to_o christ_n more_o than_o other_o so_o that_o the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n be_v find_v true_a in_o all_o time_n that_o they_o which_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n always_o persecute_v they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o spirit_n for_o though_o they_o do_v not_o imprison_v all_o nor_o banish_v all_o nor_o
