work_n of_o his_o providence_n and_o wisdom_n this_o as_o also_o what_o our_o duty_n be_v herein_o we_o may_v learn_v by_o s._n peter_n he_o when_o the_o jew_n out_o of_o their_o zeal_n to_o their_o own_o nation_n contend_v with_o he_o for_o that_o he_o have_v converse_v with_o cornelius_n &_o his_o company_n say_v thou_o wente_v in_o to_o man_n uncircumcised_a and_o do_v eat_v with_o they_o peter_n make_v this_o apology_n for_o himself_o that_o god_n by_o a_o vision_n and_o a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n have_v teach_v he_o that_o himself_o have_v cleanse_v those_o man_n &_o that_o peter_n therefore_o shall_v not_o esteem_v they_o as_o pollute_v and_o unclean_a and_o that_o for_o further_a proof_n hereof_o he_o have_v pour_v on_o they_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o he_o have_v do_v upon_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o beginning_n and_o then_o he_o add_v forasmuch_o then_o as_o god_n give_v they_o the_o like_a gift_n as_o he_o do_v unto_o we_o who_o believe_v on_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n what_o be_v i_o that_o i_o can_v withstand_v god_n act_n 11.17_o in_o this_o passage_n we_o may_v note_v three_o thing_n 1_o that_o god_n have_v show_v extraordinary_a mercy_n to_o these_o pagan_n they_o be_v alien_n from_o the_o common_a wealth_n of_o israel_n and_o stranger_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o yet_o god_n have_v not_o equal_v they_o to_o the_o best_a of_o his_o servant_n he_o give_v they_o the_o like_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o he_o have_v do_v to_o his_o apostle_n 2_o that_o s._n peter_n see_v this_o gracious_a gift_n of_o god_n towards_o they_o acknowledge_v they_o for_o his_o brethren_n partaker_n of_o the_o same_o grace_n though_o this_o be_v a_o disparagement_n to_o his_o own_o nation_n who_o glory_n it_o be_v to_o be_v god_n peculiar_a people_n 3_o that_o if_o s._n peter_n have_v do_v otherwise_o if_o he_o have_v still_o account_v they_o alien_n and_o forbear_v their_o company_n as_o infidel_n and_o deny_v they_o baptism_n the_o seal_n of_o god_n covenant_n in_o so_o do_v he_o have_v withstand_v god_n and_o the_o like_a shall_v be_v our_o resolution_n also_o if_o god_n have_v give_v any_o gift_n or_o grace_n to_o any_o of_o our_o neighbour_n whosoever_o the_o man_n or_o whatsoever_o the_o gift_n be_v though_o they_o breed_v we_o prejudice_n in_o our_o credit_n or_o in_o our_o estate_n or_o in_o our_o preferment_n yet_o if_o we_o sleight_v or_o debase_v or_o deny_v they_o we_o do_v what_o in_o we_o lie_v oppose_v &_o withstand_v god_n in_o his_o gracious_a proceed_n and_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o those_o jew_n who_o at_o first_o contend_v with_o peter_n that_o when_o they_o have_v hear_v his_o defence_n they_o hold_v their_o peace_n and_o glorify_a god_n for_o his_o mercy_n to_o the_o gentile_n so_o shall_v we_o do_v if_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o god_n have_v enable_v any_o though_o one_o of_o our_o inferior_n with_o some_o eminent_a gift_n we_o shall_v cease_v grudge_v we_o shall_v rather_o glorify_v god_n for_o his_o mercy_n towards_o they_o a_o duty_n which_o if_o it_o be_v well_o learn_v by_o we_o all_o it_o will_v preserve_v our_o neighbour_n from_o wrong_n and_o ourselves_o from_o sin_n and_o that_o we_o may_v both_o learn_v and_o perform_v it_o the_o better_a i_o commend_v both_o to_o you_o and_o myself_o these_o three_o rule_n follow_v 1_o rule_n if_o god_n have_v bestow_v any_o singular_a blessing_n on_o any_o of_o our_o brethren_n though_o the_o height_n thereof_o may_v overshadow_v we_o yet_o we_o shall_v ready_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o god_n glory_n who_o give_v it_o and_o to_o the_o praise_n of_o they_o that_o do_v enjoy_v it_o thus_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n do_v in_o our_o saviour_n time_n for_o when_o they_o see_v christ_n to_o heal_v a_o palsy_n man_n by_o his_o bare_a word_n they_o marvel_v and_o glorify_a god_n who_o have_v give_v such_o power_n unto_o man_n matt._n 9.8_o and_o matth._n 15.31_o when_o the_o multitude_n see_v the_o dumb_a to_o speak_v the_o maim_a to_o be_v whole_a the_o lame_a to_o walk_v and_o the_o blind_a to_o see_v they_o glorify_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n and_o in_o the_o christian_a church_n when_o the_o disciple_n hear_v that_o saul_n of_o a_o persecutor_n be_v become_v a_o preacher_n they_o glorify_a god_n in_o he_o gal._n 1._o ult_n and_o gal._n 2.9_o when_o the_o apostle_n peter_n and_o james_n and_o john_n perceive_v the_o grace_n that_o be_v give_v to_o paul_n after_o his_o conversion_n they_o though_o this_o may_v obscure_v their_o own_o glory_n yet_o give_v he_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n and_o join_v with_o he_o in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o do_v also_o if_o we_o know_v of_o any_o man_n who_o out_o of_o his_o learning_n and_o depth_n of_o knowledge_n be_v able_a to_o unfold_v obscure_a point_n in_o divinity_n we_o shall_v acknowledge_v his_o gift_n and_o praise_n god_n who_o have_v give_v such_o a_o gift_n unto_o man_n and_o if_o we_o meet_v with_o another_o who_o though_o he_o have_v no_o deep_a learning_n yet_o have_v a_o ready_a tongue_n and_o can_v apply_v scripture_n to_o the_o stir_v of_o the_o conscience_n we_o shall_v acknowledge_v that_o gift_n where_o we_o find_v it_o and_o give_v god_n the_o praise_n for_o bestow_v such_o gift_n upon_o man_n and_o if_o we_o happen_v upon_o a_o three_o who_o have_v a_o ready_a wit_n to_o take_v the_o present_a occasion_n of_o do_v good_a or_o a_o steedie_a memory_n that_o can_v ready_o recount_v what_o he_o have_v hear_v or_o read_v we_o shall_v acknowledge_v his_o happiness_n that_o have_v it_o and_o praise_n god_n bounty_n that_o do_v give_v it_o and_o so_o if_o we_o see_v a_o magistrate_n who_o have_v wisdom_n to_o discern_v the_o truth_n and_o conscience_n to_o judge_v aright_o or_o if_o we_o meet_v with_o a_o artificer_n that_o be_v pregnant_a in_o his_o art_n or_o any_o professor_n that_o have_v skill_n in_o his_o profession_n we_o must_v not_o deny_v or_o diminish_v god_n blessing_n in_o they_o for_o fear_v lest_o they_o disparage_v we_o but_o rather_o bless_v god_n who_o have_v give_v such_o gift_n unto_o man_n and_o this_o indeed_o be_v our_o duty_n but_o what_o be_v our_o practice_n sure_o moses_n &_o aaron_n be_v appoint_v by_o god_n to_o be_v governor_n to_o his_o people_n the_o one_o for_o order_v the_o church_n the_o other_o for_o govern_v the_o commonwealth_n &_o both_o for_o the_o safe_a lead_n of_o the_o people_n into_o the_o promise_a land_n but_o korah_n and_o his_o company_n grudge_v they_o this_o pre-eminence_n moses_n and_o aaron_n you_o take_v too_o much_o upon_o you_o all_o the_o congregation_n be_v holy_a as_o well_o as_o you_o num._n 16.3_o and_o so_o in_o our_o day_n some_o will_v acknowledge_v no_o bishop_n in_o the_o church_n nor_o scarce_o any_o king_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n but_o as_o if_o they_o be_v man_n that_o have_v no_o master_n they_o reproach_n the_o one_o and_o contemn_v the_o other_o but_o if_o we_o descend_v low_a jacob_n obtain_v a_o better_a blessing_n than_o his_o brother_n have_v and_o esau_n hate_v he_o for_o it_o david_n have_v more_o honour_n give_v he_o than_o saul_n have_v and_o saul_n eye_v he_o and_o envy_v he_o for_o it_o and_o joseph_n be_v more_o favour_v of_o his_o father_n than_o his_o other_o brethren_n be_v and_o they_o malign_v he_o and_o strip_v off_o his_o coat_n and_o sell_v he_o into_o egypt_n nay_o which_o be_v yet_o more_o and_o more_o wicked_a abel_n offer_v a_o more_o excellent_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n do_v and_o be_v better_o accept_v than_o he_o be_v and_o therefore_o cain_n hang_v down_o the_o head_n and_o be_v wroth_a with_o his_o brother_n and_o in_o the_o end_n murder_v he_o and_o wherefore_o slay_v he_o he_o say_v s._n john_n and_o he_o answer_v the_o question_n with_o his_o own_o word_n because_o his_o own_o work_n be_v evil_a and_o his_o brother_n righteous_a 1_o io._n 3.12_o and_o so_o be_v it_o among_o we_o the_o courtier_n envy_v his_o fellow_n if_o he_o step_n into_o a_o office_n soon_o than_o himself_o the_o citizen_n envy_v his_o neighbour_n if_o by_o good_a husbandry_n he_o grow_v rich_o they_o himself_o the_o rich_a man_n envy_v those_o of_o his_o own_o rank_n if_o they_o be_v more_o liberal_a and_o free-hearted_a than_o himself_o yea_o &_o the_o parishioner_n envy_v he_o or_o her_o pewfellow_n if_o
