with_o our_o neighbour_n with_o which_o temper_n of_o mind_n this_o quality_n be_v utter_o inconsistent_a three_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o more_o specious_a plea_n than_o either_o of_o the_o former_a that_o man_n will_v be_v encourage_v to_o do_v ill_o if_o they_o can_v escape_v the_o tongue_n of_o man_n as_o they_o will_v do_v if_o this_o doctrine_n do_v effectual_o take_v place_n because_o by_o this_o mean_v one_o great_a restraint_n from_o do_v evil_a will_v be_v take_v away_o which_o these_o good_a man_n who_o be_v so_o bend_v upon_o reform_v the_o world_n think_v will_v be_v great_a pity_n for_o many_o who_o will_v venture_v upon_o the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n will_v yet_o abstain_v from_o do_v bad_a thing_n for_o fear_n of_o reproach_n from_o man_n beside_o that_o this_o seem_v the_o most_o proper_a punishment_n of_o many_o fault_n which_o the_o law_n of_o man_n can_v take_v no_o notice_n of_o admit_v all_o this_o to_o be_v true_a yet_o it_o do_v not_o seem_v so_o good_a and_o laudable_a a_o way_n to_o punish_v one_o fault_n by_o another_o but_o let_v no_o man_n encourage_v himself_o in_o a_o evil_a way_n with_o this_o hope_n that_o he_o shall_v escape_v the_o censure_n of_o man_n when_o i_o have_v say_v all_o i_o can_v there_o will_v i_o fear_v be_v evil-speaking_a enough_o in_o the_o world_n to_o chastise_v they_o that_o do_v ill_a and_o though_o we_o shall_v hold_v our_o peace_n there_o will_v be_v bad_a tongue_n enough_o to_o reproach_v man_n with_o their_o evil_a do_n i_o wish_v we_o can_v but_o be_v persuade_v to_o make_v the_o experiment_n for_o a_o little_a while_n whether_o man_n will_v not_o be_v sufficient_o lash_v for_o their_o fault_n though_o we_o sit_v by_o and_o say_v nothing_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n at_o all_o that_o good_a man_n shall_v be_v concern_v in_o this_o odious_a work_n there_o will_v always_o be_v offender_n and_o malefactor_n enough_o to_o be_v the_o executioner_n to_o inflict_v this_o punishment_n upon_o one_o another_o therefore_o let_v no_o man_n presume_v upon_o impunity_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o on_o the_o other_o let_v no_o man_n despair_v but_o that_o this_o business_n will_v be_v sufficient_o do_v one_o way_n or_o other_o i_o be_o very_o much_o mistake_v if_o we_o may_v not_o safe_o trust_v a_o ill-natured_a world_n that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o failure_n of_o justice_n in_o this_o kind_n and_o here_o if_o i_o dare_v i_o will_v fain_o have_v say_v a_o word_n or_o two_o concern_v that_o more_o public_a sort_n of_o obloquy_n by_o lampoon_n and_o libel_n so_o much_o in_o fashion_n in_o this_o witty_a age._n but_o i_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o provoke_v a_o very_a terrible_a sort_n of_o man_n yet_o thus_o much_o i_o hope_v may_v be_v say_v without_o offence_n that_o how_o much_o soever_o man_n be_v please_v to_o see_v other_o abuse_v in_o this_o kind_n yet_o it_o be_v always_o grievous_a when_o it_o come_v to_o their_o own_o turn_n however_o i_o can_v but_o hope_v that_o every_o man_n that_o impartial_o consider_v must_v own_o it_o to_o be_v a_o fault_n of_o a_o very_a high_a nature_n to_o revile_v those_o who_o god_n have_v place_v in_o authority_n over_o we_o and_o to_o slander_v the_o footstep_n of_o the_o lord_n anoint_v especial_o since_o it_o be_v so_o express_o write_v thou_o shall_v not_o speak_v evil_a of_o the_o ruler_n of_o thy_o people_n have_v represent_v the_o great_a evil_n of_o this_o vice_n it_o may_v not_o now_o be_v improper_a to_o say_v something_o to_o those_o who_o suffer_v by_o it_o be_v we_o guilty_a of_o the_o evil_n say_v of_o we_o let_v we_o reform_v and_o cut_v off_o all_o occasion_n for_o the_o future_a and_o so_o turn_v the_o malice_n of_o our_o enemy_n to_o our_o own_o advantage_n and_o defeat_v their_o ill_a intention_n by_o make_v so_o good_a a_o use_n of_o it_o and_o then_o it_o will_v be_v well_o for_o we_o to_o have_v be_v evil_o speak_v of_o be_v we_o innocent_a we_o may_v so_o much_o the_o better_o bear_v it_o patient_o imitate_v herein_o the_o pattern_n of_o our_o b._n saviour_n who_o when_o he_o be_v revile_v revile_v not_o again_o but_o commit_v himself_o to_o he_o that_o judge_v righteous_o we_o may_v consider_v likewise_o that_o though_o it_o be_v a_o misfortune_n to_o be_v evil-spoken_a of_o it_o be_v their_o fault_n that_o do_v it_o and_o not_o we_o and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o put_v we_o into_o passion_n because_o another_o man_n be_v injurious_a to_o i_o be_v no_o good_a reason_n why_o i_o shall_v be_v uneasy_a to_o myself_o we_o shall_v not_o revenge_v the_o injury_n do_v to_o we_o no_o not_o upon_o they_o that_o do_v they_o much_o less_o upon_o ourselves_o let_v no_o man_n provocation_n make_v thou_o to_o lose_v thy_o patience_n be_v not_o such_o a_o fool_n as_o to_o part_v with_o any_o one_o virtue_n because_o some_o man_n be_v so_o malicious_a as_o to_o endeavour_v to_o rob_v thou_o of_o the_o reputation_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n when_o man_n speak_v ill_a of_o thou_o do_v as_o plato_n say_v he_o will_v do_v in_o that_o case_n live_v so_o as_o that_o no_o body_n may_v believe_v they_o all_o that_o now_o remain_v be_v to_o reflect_v upon_o what_o have_v be_v say_v and_o to_o urge_v you_o and_o myself_o to_o do_v according_o for_o all_o be_v nothing_o if_o we_o do_v not_o practice_v what_o we_o so_o plain_o see_v to_o be_v our_o duty_n many_o be_v so_o take_v up_o with_o the_o deep_a point_n and_o mystery_n of_o religion_n that_o they_o never_o think_v of_o the_o common_a duty_n and_o office_n of_o human_a life_n but_o faith_n and_o a_o good_a life_n be_v so_o far_o from_o clash_v with_o one_o another_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n have_v make_v they_o inseparable_a true_a faith_n be_v necessary_a in_o order_n to_o a_o good_a life_n and_o a_o good_a life_n be_v the_o genuine_a product_n of_o a_o right_a belief_n and_o therefore_o the_o one_o never_o ought_v to_o be_v press_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o other_o i_o foresee_v what_o will_v be_v because_o it_o have_v so_o often_o be_v say_v in_o the_o like_a case_n that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o all_o this_o no_o more_o be_v there_o in_o the_o text._n and_o yet_o i_o hope_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v true_o preach_v when_o ever_o his_o will_n and_o law_n and_o the_o duty_n

scripture-moralitie_n and_o christian-moralitie_n and_o who_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o say_v against_o that_o nay_o i_o will_v go_v yet_o further_o that_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o pretend_v to_o believe_v the_o christian_a religion_n who_o live_v in_o the_o neglect_n of_o so_o plain_a a_o duty_n and_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o a_o sin_n so_o clear_o condemn_v by_o it_o as_o this_o of_o evil-speaking_a be_v but_o because_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v quick_a and_o powerful_a and_o sharp_a than_o a_o two-edged_a sword_n yea_o sharp_a than_o calumny_n itself_o and_o pierce_v the_o

at_o one_o view_v represent_v to_o you_o what_o be_v dispersedly_z say_z concern_v this_o sin_n in_o the_o h._n word_n of_o god_n and_o i_o have_v purposely_o reserve_v this_o to_o the_o last_o
