a_o letter_n whilst_o i_o stay_v at_o morton_n i_o constant_o preach_v and_o that_o in_o the_o church_n so_o oft_o as_o the_o place_n be_v unsupplied_a by_o other_o and_o that_o i_o may_v give_v a_o evidence_n to_o the_o world_n how_o little_a factious_a or_o humoursome_a i_o be_v in_o my_o opinion_n although_o i_o have_v but_o little_a reverence_n for_o church_n holiday_n yet_o that_o i_o may_v be_v instant_a out_o of_o season_n as_o well_o as_o in_o it_o i_o do_v on_o christmas-day_n give_v the_o parish_n a_o sermon_n though_o there_o have_v be_v none_o for_o above_o twelve_o year_n before_o thus_o far_o i_o enjoy_v a_o quiet_a a_o great_a than_o which_o i_o can_v not_o be_v ambitious_a of_o when_o on_o the_o sudden_a i_o be_v alarm_v first_o with_o fly_v rumour_n then_o with_o certain_a information_n that_o there_o be_v warrant_n issue_v out_o to_o apprehend_v i_o and_o this_o i_o hear_v above_o a_o fortnight_n before_o that_o any_o be_v actual_o serve_v upon_o i_o i_o have_v time_n and_o leisure_n enough_o in_o this_o interval_n to_o take_v advice_n what_o in_o that_o juncture_n of_o time_n will_v best_o become_v i_o to_o do_v and_o though_o many_o of_o my_o friend_n do_v counsel_v i_o to_o withdraw_v myself_o urge_v that_o of_o solomon_n a_o prudent_a man_n forsee_v the_o evil_a and_o hide_v himself_o but_o a_o fool_n rage_v or_o rush_v on_o and_o be_v confident_a and_o this_o they_o enforce_v both_o by_o our_o saviour_n advice_n to_o his_o apostle_n when_o they_o persecute_v you_o in_o one_o city_n fly_v to_o another_o and_o by_o his_o practice_n in_o himself_o who_o frequent_o conceal_v himself_o from_o the_o people_n rage_n and_o at_o last_o when_o the_o pharisee_n have_v full_o conclude_v of_o his_o arraignment_n and_o trial_n it_o be_v say_v express_o that_o jesus_n therefore_o walk_v no_o more_o open_o among_o the_o jew_n but_o go_v thence_o into_o a_o country_n near_o to_o the_o wilderness_n and_o there_o continue_v with_o his_o disciple_n joh._n 11.54_o these_o example_n join_v with_o the_o entreaty_n of_o my_o near_a relation_n may_v have_v warrant_v i_o shall_v i_o have_v take_v that_o way_n to_o secure_v myself_o which_o the_o law_n of_o self-preservation_n without_o any_o other_o inducement_n do_v prompt_v most_o other_o unto_o yet_o with_o i_o none_o of_o these_o argument_n do_v prevail_v but_o i_o continue_v fix_v in_o my_o resolution_n to_o abide_v where_o i_o be_v and_o wait_v the_o issue_n of_o all_o these_o report_n and_o that_o first_o because_o i_o be_v not_o conscious_a to_o myself_o that_o i_o have_v do_v any_o thing_n to_o deserve_v either_o death_n or_o bond_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o by_o flight_n betray_v my_o own_o innocency_n or_o by_o concealment_n give_v too_o just_a a_o occasion_n of_o suspicion_n second_o because_o i_o have_v write_v many_o thing_n concern_v matter_n now_o in_o controversy_n for_o which_o perhaps_o i_o may_v be_v question_v and_o shall_v i_o have_v flee_v from_o the_o trial_n i_o can_v never_o make_v amends_o to_o the_o truth_n i_o have_v former_o assert_v since_o he_o scarce_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o a_o christian_a writer_n who_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n be_v not_o willing_a to_o die_v for_o what_o he_o have_v once_o upon_o good_a ground_n defend_v three_o i_o have_v frequent_o exhort_v other_o not_o to_o decline_v affliction_n but_o if_o the_o cause_n be_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n to_o look_v upon_o all_o such_o trial_n as_o mark_n of_o honour_n and_o shall_v i_o myself_o have_v flinch_v and_o because_o trouble_v be_v near_o i_o shall_v not_o only_o have_v contradict_v the_o truth_n of_o my_o doctrine_n but_o likewise_o among_o all_o my_o hearer_n at_o least_o have_v discredit_v the_o sincerity_n of_o my_o profession_n four_o i_o find_v upon_o survey_n and_o measure_n of_o my_o own_o strength_n i_o mean_v my_o own_o no_o otherwise_o than_o as_o give_v i_o by_o god_n that_o death_n be_v not_o at_o all_o terrible_a to_o i_o but_o a_o prison_n be_v very_o dreadful_a for_o have_v be_v so_o long_o use_v to_o the_o air_n of_o liberty_n i_o can_v scarce_o with_o any_o patience_n think_v of_o confinement_n this_o weakness_n i_o dare_v not_o indulge_v and_o therefore_o resolve_v to_o wait_v and_o see_v what_o god_n will_v call_v i_o to_o of_o who_o i_o may_v the_o more_o confident_o beg_v assistance_n when_o i_o have_v do_v nothing_o for_o my_o own_o ease_n to_o avoid_v his_o disposal_n nor_o have_v the_o contrary_a argument_n much_o weight_n in_o they_o for_o first_o that_o speech_n of_o solomon_n as_o most_o of_o his_o proverb_n hold_v true_a only_o in_o political_a distemper_n or_o state_n commotion_n then_o indeed_o it_o be_v prudence_n for_o a_o wise_a man_n to_o escape_v the_o danger_n but_o have_v no_o place_n at_o all_o in_o christian_a trial_n where_o he_o that_o suffer_v when_o he_o be_v call_v to_o it_o be_v always_o on_o the_o safe_a side_n as_o act_v most_o suitable_o to_o gospel_n principles_n second_o our_o saviour_n advice_n to_o his_o apostle_n be_v only_o temporary_a for_o that_o season_n till_o they_o have_v finish_v their_o ministry_n in_o judea_n and_o possible_o at_o that_o time_n there_o may_v be_v some_o respect_n have_v to_o their_o weakness_n by_o compare_v this_o place_n with_o that_o in_o matth._n 9.15_o 17._o but_o after_o our_o saviour_n resurrection_n we_o read_v no_o more_o of_o their_o fly_n but_o of_o their_o persist_v in_o jerusalem_n even_o when_o the_o violence_n of_o the_o persecution_n have_v scatter_v other_o last_o our_o saviour_n know_v the_o exact_a and_o critical_a manner_n and_o minute_n of_o his_o death_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v more_o than_o once_o that_o he_o do_v this_o and_o that_o because_o he_o know_v all_o thing_n that_o shall_v befall_v he_o and_o his_o time_n be_v not_o yet_o full_o come_v and_o this_o may_v occasion_v his_o frequent_a removal_n whereas_o our_o ignorance_n of_o what_o be_v to_o come_v aught_o to_o make_v we_o conceive_v that_o every_o trial_n which_o god_n in_o his_o providence_n bring_v upon_o we_o aught_o without_o demur_n to_o be_v encounter_v and_o undertake_v by_o we_o as_o that_o whereby_o he_o intend_v himself_o some_o glory_n which_o by_o care_v for_o ourselves_o we_o may_v intentional_o at_o least_o defeat_v he_o of_o be_v thus_o resolve_v i_o wait_v with_o patience_n to_o see_v what_o will_v be_v the_o issue_n of_o all_o these_o rumour_n but_o after_o a_o fortnight_n stay_n find_v no_o effect_n of_o they_o i_o conclude_v the_o whole_a
