ensue_v our_o performance_n of_o their_o request_n which_o be_v all_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o truth_n which_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n as_o by_o itself_o it_o be_v useful_a unto_o all_o sort_n of_o person_n young_a and_o old_a teacher_n and_o those_o that_o be_v teach_v godly_a and_o ungodly_a peaceable_a and_o contentious_a true_a professor_n and_o those_o that_o err_v from_o the_o truth_n whether_o by_o hypocrisy_n or_o security_n or_o obstinacy_n and_o in_o a_o word_n to_o all_o man_n aswell_o of_o this_o age_n as_o of_o that_o which_o shall_v arise_v hereafter_o all_o the_o advantage_n of_o instruction_n direction_n correction_n comfort_n reproof_n and_o conviction_n tend_v to_o set_v forward_a peace_n and_o joy_n through_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n or_o whatsoever_o blessing_n else_o any_o shall_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o in_o their_o several_a condition_n all_o this_o i_o say_v we_o be_v debtor_n to_o procure_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o mean_n which_o be_v put_v in_o our_o hand_n to_o that_o effect_n for_o at_o this_o time_n both_o god_n and_o man_n do_v call_v upon_o we_o to_o make_v this_o use_n of_o our_o peculiar_a talon_n of_o the_o word_n of_o life_n in_o hold_v it_o forth_o unto_o they_o if_o therefore_o we_o shall_v hide_v our_o talon_n and_o put_v this_o candle_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v light_v among_o we_o to_o give_v light_n unto_o all_o that_o be_v in_o the_o house_n under_o a_o bushel_n that_o be_v if_o we_o condescend_v not_o to_o this_o their_o desire_n we_o shall_v wrong_v all_o the_o church_n we_o shall_v rob_v these_o in_o particular_a that_o sue_v for_o it_o of_o what_o be_v their_o due_n and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v we_o shall_v make_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n ineffectual_a and_o show_v ourselves_o adversary_n to_o his_o virtue_n and_o the_o manifestation_n thereof_o which_o how_o the_o lord_n will_v in_o the_o end_n take_v at_o our_o hand_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o mention_v but_o i_o shall_v hearty_o rather_o pray_v that_o in_o love_n to_o himself_o and_o to_o his_o truth_n our_o spirit_n may_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o behave_v ourselves_o in_o the_o opportunity_n of_o do_v this_o service_n as_o shall_v be_v most_o answerable_a unto_o our_o own_o happiness_n and_o the_o glory_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n whereunto_o we_o be_v call_v these_o be_v the_o consideration_n which_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o duty_n itself_o shall_v induce_v we_o to_o the_o performance_n thereof_o which_o our_o brethren_n in_o their_o letter_n have_v only_o touch_v and_o point_v at_o i_o have_v think_v good_a a_o little_a further_o thus_o to_o enlarge_v that_o whatever_o shall_v be_v undertake_v in_o this_o kind_n may_v proceed_v from_o the_o right_a principle_n and_o frame_n of_o heart_n which_o will_v make_v the_o work_n acceptable_a unto_o god_n and_o profitable_a unto_o those_o that_o go_v about_o it_o for_o if_o the_o work_n be_v not_o intend_v upon_o these_o ground_n and_o upon_o these_o alone_a direct_o and_o principal_o without_o worldly_a consideration_n and_o humane_a respect_n as_o lead_v motive_n it_o will_v find_v but_o small_a success_n and_o little_a conduct_n from_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n to_o give_v it_o a_o furtherance_n because_o no_o enterprise_n can_v have_v more_o strength_n than_o its_o chief_a aim_n and_o object_n can_v give_v it_o and_o although_o some_o other_o argument_n of_o this_o nature_n and_o to_o the_o same_o effect_n may_v be_v allege_v or_o the_o same_o may_v be_v further_o insist_v upon_o perhaps_o not_o unprofitable_o yet_o because_o these_o motive_n be_v the_o chief_a to_o which_o all_o other_o may_v be_v refer_v and_o so_o evident_a that_o they_o can_v as_o i_o conceive_v be_v deny_v and_o of_o such_o efficacy_n if_o lay_v to_o heart_n that_o where_o they_o take_v not_o none_o other_o in_o this_o kind_n be_v like_a to_o persuade_v therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o insist_v any_o further_a upon_o they_o but_o come_v to_o the_o second_o sort_n of_o persuasion_n which_o in_o order_n unto_o these_o forego_n may_v perhaps_o add_v something_o to_o our_o zeal_n and_o resolution_n as_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o mix_a affection_n which_o even_o good_a man_n be_v inclinable_a sometime_o to_o entertain_v rather_o as_o they_o be_v man_n then_o as_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o most_o high_a depend_v immediate_o upon_o his_o will._n if_o we_o look_v then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n upon_o ourselves_o as_o we_o be_v among_o the_o professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n engage_v not_o only_o to_o maintain_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o profession_n but_o to_o advance_v the_o reformation_n of_o the_o church_n both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o and_o to_o concur_v with_o foreign_a protestant_n to_o assist_v the_o common_a cause_n of_o religion_n against_o the_o enemy_n thereof_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o more_o suitable_a to_o the_o credit_n of_o
