fellow-brethren_n as_o the_o rich_a which_o may_v comfort_v they_o which_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v discourage_v and_o think_v they_o be_v unhappy_a and_o have_v nothing_o to_o show_v any_o love_n in_o yes_o you_o may_v be_v as_o plentiful_a in_o brotherly_a affection_n as_o any_o other_o now_o for_o brotherly_a action_n they_o must_v be_v adjoin_v to_o show_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o affection_n they_o be_v counterfeit_v if_o not_o thus_o approve_v as_o 1_o john_n 3._o 17._o like_o those_o speech_n james_n 2._o 15_o 16._o brotherly_o action_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n as_o need_n

to_o think_v it_o honour_n enough_o that_o god_n make_v we_o giver_n to_o they_o that_o be_v as_o dear_a to_o he_o as_o ourselves_o and_o shall_v be_v inheritor_n of_o the_o same_o glory_n with_o we_o

love._n but_o belove_v if_o we_o come_v to_o look_v for_o these_o thing_n among_o christian_n they_o will_v all_o be_v find_v very_o much_o want_v both_o brotherly_a affection_n and_o brotherly_a action_n and_o those_o that_o be_v oft_o not_o pure_a but_o with_o look_v at_o ourselves_o not_o fervent_a but_o faint_a and_o few_o nor_o constant_a but_o short_a and_o brittle_a break_v off_o by_o affliction_n especial_o if_o it_o continue_v when_o yet_o there_o be_v most_o need_n for_o a_o brother_n be_v bear_v for_o adversity_n many_o christian_n will_v be_v kind_a to_o another_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o their_o affliction_n and_o for_o a_o little_a while_n but_o if_o it_o hold_v long_o than_o most_o fail_v he_o and_o their_o love_n be_v spend_v as_o it_o be_v or_o otherwise_o their_o

one_o for_o another_o almost_o they_o see_v each_o other_o at_o church_n but_o not_o all_o the_o week_n after_o peace_n have_v make_v christian_n proud_a and_o careless_a every_o man_n can_v subsist_v by_o himself_o and_o have_v no_o need_n of_o his_o brother_n we_o may_v just_o fear_v god_n will_v send_v we_o trouble_n to_o make_v we_o glad_a one_o of_o another_o but_o there_o be_v use_n enough_o one_o of_o another_o even_o now_o if_o we_o have_v eye_n to_o see_v it_o to_o help_v encourage_v comfort_n and_o confirm_v each_o other_o in_o our_o holy_a profession_n and_o christian_a course_n against_o the_o manifold_a discouragement_n and_o temptation_n we_o be_v subject_a to_o meet_v with_o and_o to_o whet_v on_o and_o set_v a_o edge_n one_o upon_o another_o that_o grow_v so_o dull_a to_o lay_v our_o brand_n together_o that_o we_o may_v catch_v some_o heat_n from_o one_o another_o to_o mind_v one_o another_o of_o such_o change_n as_o may_v come_v and_o so_o of_o our_o last_o end_n to_o prepare_v for_o they_o in_o time_n strong_a christian_n and_o of_o better_a gift_n look_v so_o hover_o on_o the_o weak_a so_o the_o rich_a upon_o the_o poor_a fie_o upon_o it_o be_v they_o not_o your_o brethren_n do_v you_o not_o know_v they_o because_o of_o their_o russet_a or_o leather_n coat_n he_o have_v as_o much_o grace_n may_v be_v more_o than_o you_o and_o shall_v have_v it_o may_v be_v a_o better_a place_n in_o heaven_n than_o you_o and_o do_v you_o esteem_v so_o mean_o of_o he_o it_o be_v count_v pride_n when_o any_o will_v not_o know_v their_o poor_a kindred_n know_v jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o they_o and_o disdain_v not_o their_o company_n though_o your_o inferior_n see_v as_o you_o may_v comfort_v and_o refresh_v they_o by_o your_o love_n so_o you_o may_v receive_v much_o benefit_n from_o they_o again_o christian_n shall_v meet_v together_o not_o to_o feast_v only_o but_o sometime_o to_o build_v up_o one_o another_o by_o holy_a conference_n and_o this_o will_v increase_v love_n great_o for_o when_o we_o see_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n one_o in_o another_o and_o get_v good_a one_o by_o another_o our_o love_n be_v hereby_o great_o further_v another_o fault_n too_o much_o among_o many_o christian_n be_v as_o want_v of_o bowel_n of_o tender_a compassion_n towards_o our_o brethren_n in_o distress_n so_o there_o be_v not_o that_o forwardness_n and_o freeness_n to_o relieve_v their_o necessity_n first_o for_o their_o bodily_a want_n there_o be_v too_o much_o straitness_n ofttimes_o whereas_o if_o we_o do_v consider_v that_o they_o be_v not_o only_o our_o own_o flesh_n as_o the_o common_a sort_n be_v but_o our_o fellow-member_n fellow-brethren_n and_o such_o as_o who_o god_n may_v have_v make_v we_o taker_n from_o they_o and_o they_o giver_n to_o we_o it_o will_v enlarge_v our_o heart_n and_o our_o hand_n towards_o they_o well_o what_o we_o do_v for_o they_o be_v not_o to_o fellow-member_n and_o fellow-brethren_n only_o but_o to_o christ_n jesus_n himself_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o count_v for_o at_o the_o last_o and_o great_a day_n it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o they_o to_o who_o we_o give_v it_o as_o it_o be_v our_o own_o and_o further_v our_o reckon_n as_o the_o seed_n be_v not_o the_o ground_n so_o much_o as_o the_o owner_n that_o sow_n it_o and_o for_o his_o benefit_n it_o will_v be_v all_o reckon_v we_o at_o the_o great_a payment_n day_n even_o to_o a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n and_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o have_v not_o forget_v any_o work_n of_o our_o love_n but_o have_v keep_v just_a book_n and_o true_a account_n and_o will_v then_o say_v to_o we_o come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n inherit_v etc._n etc._n for_o i_o be_v oft_o in_o my_o member_n in_o a_o poor_a condition_n and_o you_o minister_v unto_o i_o now_o receive_v a_o thousand_o fold_n even_o that_o kingdom_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o you_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o for_o relieve_n their_o spiritual_a want_n there_o be_v oft_o too_o much_o want_v of_o compassion_n and_o care_n how_o far_o may_v a_o christian_a go_v out_o of_o his_o way_n ere_o another_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n will_v step_v in_o by_o a_o wholesome_a admonition_n to_o stop_v he_o in_o his_o course_n the_o heavy_a not_o comfort_v with_o a_o word_n in_o season_n nor_o the_o faint_v encourage_v but_o every_o man_n mind_v his_o own_o matter_n as_o though_o we_o be_v stranger_n and_o god_n have_v give_v we_o no_o charge_n one_o of_o another_o nay_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o great_a fault_n to_o be_v find_v among_o many_o christian_n than_o these_o two_o that_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o sundry_a of_o they_o can_v take_v leave_n to_o fall_v out_o and_o contend_v with_o each_o other_o and_o that_o very_o deep_o sometime_o for_o word_n sometime_o for_o small_a matter_n of_o the_o world_n yea_o and_o some_o when_o they_o be_v out_o can_v find_v the_o way_n in_o again_o nor_o be_v they_o ashamed_a of_o that_o they_o have_v do_v but_o can_v lie_v and_o continue_v in_o it_o month_n after_o month_n be_v this_o the_o behaviour_n of_o fellow-member_n think_v we_o our_o head_n christ_n will_v endure_v or_o bear_v it_o to_o have_v his_o body_n thus_o rend_v one_o member_n from_o another_o nay_o one_o will_v think_v be_v this_o possible_a what_o do_v you_o think_v of_o yourself_o that_o you_o be_v a_o true_a member_n of_o christ_n by_o faith_n well_o and_o what_o do_v you_o think_v of_o he_o that_o you_o be_v thus_o rend_v and_o divide_v from_o i_o dare_v not_o but_o think_v you_o will_v say_v but_o he_o belong_v to_o god_n and_o do_v you_o think_v then_o that_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n shall_v either_o thus_o deal_v or_o thus_o be_v deal_v withal_o and_o that_o by_o his_o fellow_n member_n he_o that_o shall_v see_v one_o member_n in_o a_o man_n natural_a body_n offer_v hurt_v and_o violence_n to_o another_o will_v he_o not_o think_v the_o man_n be_v mad_a what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o when_o christian_n can_v so_o eager_o pursue_v each_o other_o in_o word_n and_o deed_n as_o too_o oft_o be_v see_v shall_v we_o say_v they_o be_v in_o their_o right_a mind_n but_o rather_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o pride_n or_o covetoushesse_n or_o some_o such_o humour_n have_v intoxicate_v their_o brain_n this_o will_v cost_v they_o dear_a or_o
