Tim. 2.24 25 26. gentle unto all men apt to teach patient In meeknesse instructing those which oppose themselves if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the Devill who are taken captive by him at his will Also to t Tit. 3.2 3. 1 Pet. 2.17 speak evill of no man to be no brawler but gentle shewing all meeknesse unto all men For wee our selves also were sometimes foolish disobedient deceived serving divers lusts and pleasures living in malice and envie hatefull and hating one another Also to u 1 Thess 3.12 pray for to increase and abound in love one towards another * Due notice is to bee taken of this Duty enjoyned by the holy Gospel and towards all men even as did the Apostles towards the Thessalonians He will then continually think upon that great commandement of the Law and Gospel that * James 2.8 Gal. 5.14 Rom. 13.8 9 10. Royall Law Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self * What here followeth is aright to bee understood so as it may make against no everlasting Law of God It is meant concerning ones brother or neighbour endeavouring at lest to live in all common civility But if any one doe contrary thereunto the magistrates sword is to bee considered See Rom. 13.1 2 3 4. To have a care to work none ill unto ones neighbour but unfeinedly to wish and to endeavour what may be that all good and all comfort and all content may come unto him which one would unto his own self in every particular case of this present world He will then see that every one void of the charity which the Gospel prescribeth and requireth or doth not truly endeavour unto the x Col. 3.14 putting on of the same is not in the Right For the Holy Ghost pronounceth He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother y 1 Joh. 2.9 11. is in darknesse even untill now He that hateth his brother is in darknesse and walketh in darknesse and knoweth not whither he goeth because that darknesse hath blinded his eyes He that loveth not z 1 Joh. 4.8 knoweth not God for God is love a verse 20.

The c Joh. 12.48 word that I have spoken the same shall judge him in the last day And therefore he will seriously consider of these and the like sayings of the Apostles which Christ d 2 Cor. 13.3 spake in them as Who art thou that e Rom. 14.4 judgest another mans servant to his own master he standeth or falleth Yea he shall be holden up for God is able to make him stand f Verse 10. Why doest thou judge thy brother Or why doest thou set at nought thy brother We shall all stand before the Judgement seate of Christ g Verse 12. Every one of us shall give account of himself to God h Verse 13. Let us not therefore judge one another any more but judge this rather that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brothers way i James 4.11 12. Gal. 5.15 Speak not evill one of another brethren He that speaketh evill of his brother and judgeth his brother speaketh evill of the Law and judgeth the Law but if thou judge the Law thou art not a doer of the Law but a Judge There is one Law-giver who is able to save and to destroy Who art thou that judgest another Also what David delivereth viz. Unto the wicked God saith k Ps 50.16 17 18 19 20 21 22.
