will_v teach_v we_o his_o way_n and_o we_o will_v walk_v in_o his_o path_n for_o out_o of_o zion_n shall_v go_v the_o law_n and_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n from_o jerusalem_n this_o be_v to_o

and_o eat_v one_o bit_n themselves_o and_o throw_v away_o another_o so_o do_v not_o crumble_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o take_v one_o bit_n and_o throw_v another_o bit_n to_o thy_o neighbour_n and_o another_o at_o thy_o heel_n when_o thou_o go_v out_o of_o door_n no_o but_o receive_v all_o that_o christ_n teach_v thou_o though_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o thy_o corruption_n and_o above_o thy_o reason_n yet_o endeavour_v to_o believe_v it_o that_o be_v one_o thing_n second_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n or_o to_o come_v to_o christ_n he_o 2._o to_o accept_v life_n and_o salvation_n from_o he_o be_v when_o thou_o be_v willing_a to_o accept_v of_o and_o to_o receive_v life_n &_o salvation_n that_o christ_n offer_v whereas_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o now_o be_v a_o natural_a man_n this_o

therefore_o now_o this_o be_v to_o come_v to_o christ_n look_v not_o what_o thou_o be_v worthy_a to_o have_v but_o what_o god_n be_v willing_a to_o give_v god_n be_v willing_a to_o bestow_v

word_n tend_v i_o hope_v to_o the_o heal_n of_o the_o division_n that_o be_v among_o the_o godly_a the_o first_o be_v that_o saint_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o point_n of_o lawfulness_n be_v not_o so_o strict_o bind_v as_o the_o saint_n be_v under_o the_o old_a testament_n this_o you_o have_v prove_v and_o open_v to_o you_o in_o some_o measure_n the_o last_o day_n in_o the_o morning_n we_o have_v occasion_n from_o this_o doctrine_n by_o the_o by_o to_o call_v upon_o poor_a sinner_n to_o come_v in_o to_o christ_n because_o their_o be_v such_o largeness_n and_o liberty_n and_o spaciousnes_n in_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o easy_a now_o i_o shall_v go_v forward_o to_o a_o use_n or_o two_o more_o that_o remain_v of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o we_o may_v proceed_v to_o the_o next_o in_o the_o next_o place_n therefore_o use_v 2_o people_n reproof_n of_o two_o sort_n of_o people_n we_o may_v hence_o see_v the_o error_n or_o mistake_n that_o be_v in_o divers_a christian_n among_o we_o that_o do_v cause_n contention_n we_o may_v just_o reprove_v they_o from_o this_o doctrine_n we_o may_v discover_v they_o at_o least_o i_o will_v not_o use_v any_o nickname_n it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v understand_v more_o clear_o what_o i_o mean_v if_o i_o shall_v but_o i_o see_v the_o devil_n get_v much_o advantage_n by_o nickname_n by_o call_v man_n presbyterian_n and_o antinomian_o and_o anabaptist_n and_o i_o know_v not_o what_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o beware_v how_o you_o use_v those_o name_n though_o i_o say_v not_o it_o be_v unlawful_a yet_o there_o be_v mistake_n let_v we_o call_v they_o as_o gentle_o as_o we_o can_v that_o be_v general_o among_o we_o either_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n or_o on_o the_o right_n hand_n those_o that_o err_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n and_o both_o be_v to_o be_v reprove_v from_o this_o doctrine_n on_o the_o left_a hand_n i_o mean_v those_o that_o make_v every_o thing_n lawful_a and_o will_v have_v no_o band_n have_v 1_o those_o that_o will_v make_v the_o way_n wide_o than_o christ_n have_v nor_o tie_v as_o it_o be_v they_o will_v make_v the_o way_n wide_o than_o christ_n have_v make_v it_o they_o will_v makea_fw-mi great_a latitude_n than_o god_n have_v make_v now_o i_o say_v these_o all_o come_v to_o be_v reprove_v from_o this_o word_n all_o in_o the_o text_n for_o i_o show_v that_o by_o the_o word_n all_o be_v not_o mean_v all_o thing_n in_o a_o universallity_n that_o i_o may_v be_v any_o thing_n i_o may_v be_v a_o drunkard_n and_o be_v a_o christian_n i_o may_v be_v a_o swearer_n and_o be_v a_o christian_n i_o may_v do_v what_o i_o listen_v and_o yet_o be_v a_o christian_n but_o as_o i_o say_v by_o all_o thing_n be_v mean_v many_o thing_n &_o those_o that_o take_v it_o universal_o will_v do_v nothing_o therefore_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n i_o say_v these_o do_v mistake_v and_o of_o these_o there_o be_v three_o sort_n all_o godly_a christian_n i_o hope_v they_o be_v i_o wish_v every_o one_o to_o own_o his_o share_n and_o myself_o where_o i_o be_o guilty_a there_o be_v one_o sort_n of_o people_n among_o we_o you_o have_v a_o name_n for_o they_o but_o i_o will_v not_o use_v it_o that_o do_v apprehend_v so_o much_o beauty_n and_o lovelines_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n in_o grace_n and_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o person_n and_o excellency_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o like_a that_o they_o look_v upon_o the_o external_a manner_n of_o god_n worship_n or_o government_n as_o a_o small_a contemptible_a thing_n with_o a_o disdainful_a eye_n belove_a i_o make_v not_o man_n of_o straw_n to_o speak_v to_o but_o i_o know_v many_o godly_a people_n that_o hold_v so_o that_o say_v it_o be_v ridiculous_a and_o they_o care_v not_o which_o way_n the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v order_v or_o govern_v because_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n consist_v in_o righteousness_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o they_o smile_v to_o see_v contention_n between_o presbyterian_o and_o other_o and_o think_v that_o these_o be_v too_o mean_v and_o too_o low_a thing_n for_o saint_n to_o look_v after_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o my_o thought_n i_o confess_v as_o i_o conceive_v that_o of_o all_o other_o this_o be_v the_o least_o error_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o error_n and_o mistake_v for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v the_o main_a and_o other_o thing_n be_v but_o little_a to_o be_v regard_v in_o

among_o we_o be_v god_n come_v now_o with_o more_o light_n than_o we_o have_v before_o we_o have_v more_o and_o more_o but_o this_o light_n be_v not_o a_o full_a light_n i_o mean_v thus_o this_o

paul_n make_v of_o it_o to_o reveal_v sin_n to_o make_v we_o esteem_v of_o christ_n or_o to_o be_v a_o light_n the_o spirit_n be_v within_o for_o they_o be_v not_o contradictory_n as_o some_o simple_o

take_v their_o share_n for_o if_o every_o one_o will_v here_o with_o humility_n and_o take_v his_o part_n i_o hope_v there_o will_v soon_o be_v a_o end_n of_o most_o of_o our_o contention_n the_o three_o sort_n go_v far_o than_o those_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n spirit_n 3_o those_o that_o allow_v outward_a profaneness_n &_o only_o serve_v god_n in_o their_o spirit_n they_o make_v it_o so_o broad_a this_o all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a that_o not_o only_o in_o point_n of_o government_n or_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o those_o that_o hold_v against_o the_o moral_a law_n they_o hold_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v the_o thing_n but_o not_o upon_o the_o same_o motive_n they_o hold_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o be_v whoremonger_n and_o drunkard_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o three_o sort_n say_v if_o we_o worship_v god_n in_o our_o spirit_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n what_o we_o do_v with_o our_o body_n we_o may_v worship_n god_n in_o our_o spirit_n and_o go_v to_o mass_n and_o do_v any_o thing_n the_o body_n be_v but_o as_o a_o tool_n in_o a_o carpenter_n hand_n it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o while_n to_o confute_v those_o i_o can_v give_v many_o reason_n to_o the_o contrary_n christ_n have_v redeem_v soul_n and_o body_n therefore_o we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o both_o and_o you_o know_v the_o soul_n and_o body_n that_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n shall_v be_v damn_v the_o

can_v we_o do_v it_o if_o the_o body_n may_v do_v any_o thing_n we_o need_v never_o suffer_v persecution_n as_o all_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n must_v if_o i_o will_v be_v content_a to_o serve_v

and_o he_o be_v holy_a in_o soul_n and_o body_n how_o can_v we_o be_v like_o he_o if_o we_o will_v be_v holy_a in_o our_o soul_n only_o and_o not_o in_o our_o body_n nay_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v that_o be_v if_o the_o soul_n be_v holy_a the_o body_n will_v be_v so_o too_o if_o there_o be_v wickedness_n in_o the_o heart_n there_o must_v be_v wickedness_n in_o the_o body_n and_o if_o there_o be_v holiness_n in_o the_o soul_n there_o will_v be_v also_o in_o the_o body_n if_o any_o hold_v a_o opinion_n to_o make_v

have_v a_o spirit_n not_o suitable_a to_o the_o new_a testament_n though_o mistake_v i_o not_o they_o differ_v but_o in_o degree_n chief_o and_o principal_o they_o make_v law_n and_o tie_n and_o
