faithful_a and_o merciful_a will_v leave_v a_o sincere_a soul_n in_o the_o dark_a upon_o such_o a_o occasion_n but_o this_o i_o shall_v add_v that_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n be_v not_o to_o evade_v or_o take_v refuge_n in_o any_o of_o these_o two_o forementioned_a way_n they_o be_v public_a person_n and_o good_a shepherd_n must_v then_o chief_o stand_v close_o to_o the_o flock_n when_o the_o wolf_n come_v for_o they_o to_o be_v silent_a in_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o renounce_v it_o and_o to_o fly_v be_v to_o desert_n it_o as_o for_o that_o place_n urge_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o contrary_a in_o 23._o v._n when_o they_o persecute_v you_o in_o this_o city_n flee_v into_o another_o it_o prove_v nothing_o for_o the_o precept_n be_v particular_a and_o concern_v only_o the_o apostle_n and_o that_o but_o for_o that_o time_n in_o which_o they_o be_v then_o send_v to_o the_o jew_n at_o which_o time_n christ_n keep_v they_o as_o a_o reserve_n for_o the_o future_a for_o when_o after_o his_o death_n they_o be_v indifferent_o send_v both_o to_o jew_n and_o gentile_n we_o find_v not_o this_o clause_n in_o their_o commission_n but_o they_o be_v to_o sign_n the_o truth_n they_o preach_v with_o their_o blood_n as_o we_o know_v they_o actual_o do_v and_o moreover_o when_o christ_n bid_v they_o be_v persecute_v in_o one_o city_n fly_v into_o another_o it_o be_v not_o as_o grotius_n acute_o observe_v that_o they_o may_v lie_v hide_v or_o be_v secure_a in_o that_o city_n but_o that_o there_o they_o may_v preach_v the_o gospel_n so_o that_o their_o flight_n here_o be_v not_o to_o secure_v their_o person_n but_o to_o continue_v their_o business_n i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o faithful_a minister_n be_v to_o stand_v and_o endure_v the_o brunt_n a_o common_a

truth_n through_o blood_n and_o perjury_n wade_v to_o a_o sceptre_n and_o lord_n it_o in_o a_o throne_n and_o we_o need_v not_o doubt_n but_o truth_n however_o oppress_v will_v have_v some_o

every_o article_n fly_v in_o his_o face_n and_o rend_v his_o very_a heart_n and_o then_o after_o all_o christ_n from_o who_o only_a mercy_n can_v be_v expect_v own_v the_o accusation_n it_o will_v
