discouragement_n or_o opposition_n you_o meet_v with_o but_o consider_v your_o great_a lord_n and_o master_n who_o bear_v such_o contradiction_n of_o sinner_n lest_o you_o grow_v weary_a and_o faint_a in_o your_o mind_n preserve_v the_o sweet_a harmony_n and_o affection_n that_o have_v hitherto_o obtain_v among_o you_o and_o increase_v the_o good_a opinion_n you_o have_v of_o each_o other_o so_o that_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o emissary_n by_o all_o the_o stratagem_n they_o shall_v use_v may_v not_o be_v able_a to_o divide_v and_o weaken_v you_o go_v on_o to_o convince_v the_o world_n that_o whatever_o particular_a sentiment_n you_o may_v have_v about_o lesser_a doubtful_a matter_n of_o religion_n yet_o in_o the_o most_o substantial_a plain_a and_o necessary_a thing_n you_o hearty_o agree_v and_o can_v as_o hearty_o concur_v to_o promote_v they_o appear_v herein_o for_o the_o cause_n of_o religion_n as_o the_o ancient_a roman_n for_o their_o commonwealth_n with_o who_o it_o be_v a_o generous_a principle_n to_o sacrifice_v their_o private_a pique_n and_o quarrel_n to_o the_o public_a good_a and_o do_v we_o all_o employ_v our_o zeal_n more_o this_o way_n it_o will_v be_v find_v one_o of_o the_o most_o effectual_a mean_n to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o those_o heat_n and_o animosity_n that_o have_v be_v so_o much_o lament_v by_o sober_a man_n of_o all_o party_n i_o shall_v offer_v but_o one_o thing_n more_o and_o it_o be_v that_o you_o will_v yield_v all_o the_o assistance_n to_o each_o other_o you_o can_v by_o your_o often_o meet_v together_o to_o consult_v and_o advise_v about_o the_o most_o proper_a method_n to_o prosecute_v what_o you_o have_v undertake_v and_o may_v it_o not_o be_v of_o some_o further_a use_n in_o promote_a this_o great_a design_n of_o reformation_n if_o as_o i_o understand_v there_o be_v divers_a society_n some_o consist_v of_o person_n of_o inferior_a and_o other_o of_o a_o high_a rank_n those_o of_o the_o latter_a sort_n will_v favour_v the_o other_o more_o frequent_o with_o their_o presence_n which_o will_v very_o much_o animate_v and_o encourage_v they_o like_o soldier_n who_o be_v observe_v never_o to_o fight_v so_o courageous_o as_o when_o their_o general_a officer_n appear_v at_o the_o head_n of_o they_o but_o this_o i_o propose_v with_o submission_n 2._o as_o to_o those_o you_o will_v reform_v it_o be_v not_o needful_a that_o i_o exhort_v you_o to_o what_o other_o have_v so_o large_o insist_v upon_o already_o and_o which_o i_o believe_v you_o be_v careful_a to_o observe_v it_o may_v suffice_v that_o i_o only_o hint_n to_o you_o that_o you_o will_v make_v the_o word_n of_o god_n your_o guide_n in_o this_o important_a affair_n and_o therefore_o bear_v no_o wrath_n malice_n revenge_n etc._n etc._n against_o any_o man_n in_o your_o heart_n but_o strict_o observe_v the_o rule_n of_o charity_n and_o mercy_n you_o will_v see_v that_o with_o meekness_n and_o compassion_n and_o yet_o with_o great_a impartiality_n and_o prudence_n you_o endeavour_v to_o reclaim_v wicked_a man_n from_o their_o sin_n and_o one_a by_o verbal_a reproof_n if_o by_o this_o there_o be_v any_o likelihood_n of_o prevail_v upon_o they_o not_o proceed_v to_o rough_a method_n when_o mild_a one_o may_v do_v nor_o hasty_o pass_v those_o by_o as_o incorrigible_a sinner_n who_o may_v not_o be_v so_o but_o have_v find_v upon_o sufficient_a trial_n or_o be_v well_o assure_v upon_o other_o ground_n there_o be_v no_o good_a to_o be_v do_v this_o way_n then_o two_o apply_v yourselves_o to_o that_o which_o god_n in_o case_n of_o extremity_n have_v appoint_v if_o they_o be_v real_o scorner_n deal_v with_o they_o as_o such_o and_o to_o stir_v you_o up_o to_o the_o vigorous_a prosecution_n of_o the_o law_n against_o these_o harden_a and_o obstinate_a offender_n i_o shall_v offer_v a_o few_o thing_n to_o your_o consideration_n as_o one_a that_o though_o the_o forego_n discourse_n shall_v not_o full_o convince_v you_o of_o your_o duty_n herein_o yet_o your_o own_o enlighten_v conscience_n can_v but_o prompt_v you_o to_o it_o and_o tell_v you_o that_o god_n expect_v it_o from_o you_o here_o you_o do_v not_o run_v before_o you_o be_v send_v nor_o answer_v before_o you_o be_v call_v may_v those_o word_n therefore_o be_v always_o fresh_a in_o your_o memory_n thou_o shall_v not_o hate_v thy_o brother_n in_o thy_o heart_n thou_o shall_v in_o any_o wise_a rebuke_n thy_o neighbour_n and_o not_o suffer_v sin_n upon_o he_o levit._n 19.17_o imply_v that_o not_o to_o rebuke_v he_o be_v to_o hate_v he_o to_o be_v
