in_o make_v this_o discovery_n let_v i_o commend_v to_o your_o consideration_n these_o particular_n first_o that_o man_n intention_n be_v many_o time_n vary_v by_o the_o success_n of_o their_o action_n and_o they_o alter_v their_o end_n as_o mean_n occasion_n and_o opportunity_n either_o frown_n upon_o or_o favour_v they_o and_o so_o sometime_o that_o which_o be_v at_o first_o intend_v as_o a_o end_n come_v afterward_o to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o only_a as_o a_o mean_n unto_o another_o end_n thus_o the_o end_n that_o absalon_n intend_v when_o he_o send_v joab_n unto_o david_n 2_o sam._n 14.32_o be_v the_o regain_n of_o his_o father_n grace_n and_o favour_n but_o afterward_o he_o make_v use_v of_o that_o grace_n &_o favour_n for_o another_o end_n the_o promote_a of_o his_o treasonable_a intent_n of_o usurp_a the_o kingdom_n which_o it_o may_v be_v before_o he_o dream_v not_o of_o and_o sometime_o that_o which_o be_v at_o the_o first_o intend_v only_o as_o a_o mean_n unto_o a_o further_a end_n come_v afterward_o to_o be_v rest_v in_o as_o intend_a itself_o without_o relation_n unto_o any_o other_o end_n thus_o jeroboam_n and_o the_o ten_o tribe_n intend_v or_o else_o pretend_v as_o the_o only_a end_n they_o aim_v at_o the_o make_n of_o their_o burden_n light_a and_o their_o revolt_n from_o rehoboam_n and_o the_o house_n of_o david_n seem_v only_o as_o a_o mean_n to_o compass_v that_o end_n but_o afterward_o they_o rest_v in_o that_o as_o if_o they_o have_v all_o that_o they_o desire_v and_o never_o regard_v to_o return_v again_o to_o their_o obedience_n upon_o any_o term_n and_o sometime_o man_n be_v cross_v in_o the_o end_n that_o they_o before_o intend_v and_o come_v to_o discover_v the_o impossibility_n inconvenience_n or_o error_n of_o they_o utter_o forsake_v they_o and_o set_v upon_o other_o thus_o when_o st._n paul_n go_v to_o the_o high_a priest_n and_o desire_v of_o he_o letter_n to_o damascus_n the_o end_n he_o intend_v be_v that_o if_o he_o find_v any_o disciple_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o may_v bring_v they_o bind_v unto_o jerusalem_n act_n 9.1_o 2._o but_o when_o he_o return_v to_o jerusalem_n the_o end_n he_o aim_v at_o be_v the_o propagation_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o confirmation_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o once_o he_o have_v destroy_v if_o therefore_o you_o will_v judge_v aright_o of_o other_o man_n intention_n you_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o distinguish_v between_o their_o intention_n that_o have_v be_v heretofore_o and_o those_o that_o be_v now_o otherwise_o you_o may_v be_v much_o mistake_v second_o consider_v that_o the_o success_n of_o man_n action_n many_o time_n either_o be_v or_o may_v be_v much_o different_a from_o the_o end_n which_o they_o intend_v in_o they_o thus_o joseph_n brethren_n intend_v nothing_o less_o than_o his_o advancement_n in_o egypt_n by_o pharaoh_n when_o they_o sell_v he_o to_o the_o ishmaelite_n yet_o god_n by_o that_o mean_v bring_v it_o to_o pass_v and_o it_o may_v be_v the_o alteration_n of_o religion_n to_o idolatry_n be_v not_o intend_v by_o jeroboam_n and_o the_o ten_o tribe_n when_o they_o revolt_v from_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n and_o rebel_v against_o rehoboam_n and_o the_o house_n of_o david_n at_o least_o they_o make_v no_o show_n thereof_o but_o only_o the_o make_n light_a of_o that_o yoke_n which_o they_o conceive_v to_o be_v grievous_a and_o heavy_a yet_o the_o change_n of_o the_o government_n quick_o bring_v forth_o the_o change_n of_o the_o religion_n too_o therefore_o you_o may_v be_v mistake_v if_o you_o think_v that_o always_o to_o have_v be_v the_o end_n intend_v in_o other_o man_n action_n which_o you_o find_v to_o be_v the_o effect_n that_o follow_v thereupon_o or_o if_o you_o think_v that_o such_o a_o
