a_o cause_n that_o consider_v the_o general_a frailty_n and_o corruption_n of_o man_n kind_n it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o the_o quite_o contrary_a and_o we_o have_v some_o reason_n at_o least_o to_o suspect_v where_o the_o case_n be_v before_o any_o thing_n doubtful_a that_o that_o may_v be_v the_o wrong_a way_n in_o which_o we_o behold_v most_o man_n walk_v especial_o when_o it_o happen_v to_o be_v very_o manifest_a how_o much_o their_o secular_a interest_n be_v also_o to_o be_v meet_v with_o in_o the_o same_o path_n beside_o we_o be_v assure_v from_o christ_n himself_o that_o his_o flock_n be_v small_a in_o comparison_n of_o other_o who_o be_v therefore_o call_v the_o world_n that_o the_o many_o go_v in_o the_o broad_a but_o wrong_a way_n whilst_o straight_o be_v the_o way_n and_o narrow_a be_v the_o gate_n that_o lead_v unto_o life_n and_o few_o there_o be_v that_o find_v it_o and_o god_n himself_o forewarn_v we_o that_o in_o any_o case_n we_o follow_v not_o a_o multitude_n to_o do_v evil_a moreover_o we_o may_v remember_v for_o how_o long_a time_n together_o god_n church_n consist_v within_o the_o narrow_a compass_n of_o one_o small_a nation_n and_o before_o that_o how_o it_o be_v scarce_o visible_a any_o where_n else_o save_v in_o the_o one_o family_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a nay_o in_o the_o time_n of_o athanasius_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v reduce_v to_o a_o single_a man_n whilst_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v turn_v arrian_n and_o though_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o there_o be_v several_z other_o who_o believe_v right_o yet_o that_o bishop_n be_v the_o only_a person_n who_o dare_v at_o that_o time_n so_o open_o appear_v for_o the_o truth_n and_o be_v often_o remove_v from_o his_o place_n severe_o persecute_v and_o banish_v for_o do_v so_o now_o all_o this_o be_v well_o consider_v what_o reason_n have_v thou_o to_o be_v at_o any_o time_n scandalize_v at_o the_o fewness_n of_o those_o who_o stand_v to_o their_o principle_n in_o the_o time_n of_o trial_n or_o rather_o why_o shall_v not_o those_o few_o no_o less_o learned_a and_o far_o more_o pious_a person_n who_o thou_o well_o perceive_v to_o be_v in_o good_a earnest_n about_o religion_n in_o that_o they_o persist_v in_o the_o belief_n and_o practice_n of_o what_o themselves_o have_v teach_v even_o when_o it_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o their_o worldly_a interest_n and_o they_o meet_v with_o nothing_o but_o reproach_n and_o persecution_n for_o so_o do_v why_o shall_v not_o the_o example_n of_o these_o few_o i_o say_v be_v far_o more_o powerful_a to_o confirm_v thou_o in_o the_o truth_n than_o that_o of_o the_o other_o to_o scandalize_v thou_o out_o of_o it_o especial_o when_o it_o shall_v happen_v to_o be_v very_o notorious_a by_o what_o fordo_v motive_n they_o be_v prevail_v upon_o either_o to_o renounce_v their_o first_o principle_n or_o gross_o contradict_v the_o same_o by_o their_o follow_a practice_n consider_v likewise_o that_o they_o who_o continue_v firm_a and_o constant_a and_o help_v to_o make_v up_o the_o small_a but_o bless_a number_n be_v not_o themselves_o at_o all_o stagger_v but_o rather_o in_o some_o respect_n rejoice_v and_o triumph_v at_o their_o very_a sewness_n and_o why_o then_o shall_v thou_o be_v ready_a to_o take_v so_o much_o offence_n thereat_o or_o since_o they_o be_v already_o so_o few_o how_o can_v thou_o find_v in_o thy_o heart_n to_o make_v they_o still_o few_o by_o thy_o own_o revolt_n these_o consideration_n now_o may_v i_o hope_v serve_v to_o answer_v the_o usual_a objection_n and_o prove_v a_o good_a antidote_n against_o those_o scandal_n which_o be_v apt_a to_o arise_v from_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o suppose_a picty_n learning_n and_o far_o great_a
