A26871	Cain and Abel malignity that is, enmity to serious godliness, that is, to an holy and heavenly state of heart and life : lamented, described, detected, and unananswerably [sic] proved to be the devilish nature, and the militia of the devil against God and Christ and the church and kingdoms, and the surest sign of a state of damnation / by Richard Baxter, or, Gildas Salvianus ...

christ_n apostle_n do_v if_o this_o be_v their_o horrid_a wickedness_n that_o make_v they_o unworthy_a to_o live_v out_o of_o prison_n say_v so_o and_o pretend_v no_o other_o but_o if_o it_o be_v heresy_n false_a doctrine_n perjury_n fornication_n rob_v treason_n sedition_n or_o any_o other_o crime_n why_o be_v they_o not_o accuse_v of_o these_o before_o the_o judge_n and_o why_o be_v those_o charge_v with_o they_o that_o never_o be_v so_o accuse_v and_o prove_v guilty_a will_v not_o all_o wise_a man_n take_v those_o person_n for_o malicious_a liar_n who_o by_o their_o publish_a accusation_n thus_o odious_o charge_v multitude_n and_o never_o offer_v to_o prove_v it_o against_o they_o at_o the_o judicature_n their_o accusation_n show_v they_o want_v not_o will_n therefore_o their_o not_o prosecute_a they_o for_o any_o such_o sort_n of_o crime_n show_v that_o it_o be_v truth_n that_o be_v want_v 13._o and_o if_o they_o be_v such_o wicked_a person_n whence_o be_v it_o that_o they_o be_v charge_v mere_o with_o hypocrisy_n by_o such_o as_o say_v that_o they_o live_v sober_o and_o just_o and_o demure_o but_o they_o be_v at_o the_o heart_n as_o bad_a as_o other_o their_o accuser_n common_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v most_o free_a from_o all_o immorality_n and_o have_v a_o outward_a show_n of_o righteousness_n but_o these_o heart-searcher_n see_v that_o their_o heart_n be_v bad_a and_o do_v they_o not_o by_o this_o confute_v their_o own_o accusation_n 14._o and_o why_o be_v it_o that_o they_o that_o know_v they_o best_o can_v see_v none_o of_o the_o wickedness_n which_o you_o accuse_v they_o of_o beyond_o those_o humane_a infirmity_n of_o which_o they_o most_o accuse_v themselves_o as_o i_o have_v oft_o do_v i_o again_o solemn_o profess_v as_o one_o that_o can_v be_v far_o from_o my_o account_n before_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o the_o world_n that_o have_v now_o live_v to_o the_o 68th_o year_n of_o my_o age_n and_o be_v most_o familiar_a since_o the_o age_n of_o sixteen_o or_o seventeen_o with_o that_o sort_n of_o man_n who_o the_o vulgar_a then_o call_v puritan_n describe_v by_o mr._n bolton_n and_o such_o other_o conformist_n though_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o many_o that_o have_v their_o mistake_n and_o frailty_n and_o troublesome_a difference_n in_o lesser_a thing_n and_o some_o hypocrite_n intrude_v among_o they_o yet_o i_o never_o know_v any_o other_o sort_n of_o man_n comparable_a to_o they_o in_o christian_a knowledge_n faith_n obedience_n to_o god_n hatred_n of_o sin_n care_v of_o their_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o man_n sobriety_n temperance_n chastity_n truth_n heavenly_a desire_n endeavour_n and_o hope_n and_o that_o they_o so_o far_o excel_v the_o rest_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n as_o make_v their_o grace_n amiable_a to_o i_o and_o confirm_v my_o belief_n of_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n yea_o more_o if_o i_o have_v not_o have_v the_o happiness_n of_o know_v such_o a_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o in_o holiness_n justice_n and_o love_n excel_v the_o rest_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n or_o at_o least_o credible_o hear_v of_o such_o i_o can_v not_o have_v believe_v in_o christ_n as_o a_o saviour_n of_o man_n who_o he_o make_v no_o better_a than_o turk_n and_o infidel_n nor_o can_v i_o have_v believe_v a_o heaven_n for_o man_n no_o better_o prepare_v for_o it_o and_o that_o now_o near_o my_o end_n i_o see_v so_o great_a a_o difference_n in_o holiness_n justice_n and_o charity_n between_o those_o common_o revile_v for_o worship_v god_n but_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v and_o those_o that_o hate_n and_o persecute_v they_o as_o great_o help_v i_o in_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o saviour_n and_o sanctifier_n and_o heaven_n for_o the_o faithful_a and_o a_o devil_n that_o deceive_v the_o rest_n and_o a_o hell_n that_o will_v receive_v they_o which_o be_v even_o visible_o begin_v on_o earth_n accus_n but_o say_v they_o it_o be_v not_o for_o their_o godliness_n or_o sobriety_n that_o we_o accuse_v they_o but_o for_o their_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n ans._n still_o this_o be_v but_o general_n and_o signify_v nothing_o but_o 1._o what_o be_v that_o odious_a sin_n 2._o it_o be_v god_n merciful_a providence_n that_o keep_v sin_n in_o general_a under_o such_o shame_n as_o that_o the_o actor_n of_o it_o speak_v against_o it_o even_o in_o their_o slander_n 3._o but_o if_o this_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n why_o do_v you_o cull_v out_o those_o that_o have_v least_o sin_n to_o fasten_v your_o accusation_n of_o sin_n upon_o if_o there_o be_v a_o conformable_a minister_n that_o be_v more_o holy_a charitable_a and_o zealous_a against_o sin_n than_o the_o rest_n he_o be_v one_o of_o those_o that_o be_v call_v a_o puritan_n and_o accuse_v of_o sin_n why_o do_v we_o hear_v none_o of_o your_o furious_a charge_n against_o the_o common_a drunkard_n reveler_n gamester_n whoremonger_n persecutor_n profane_a blasphemer_n liar_n and_o the_o family_n that_o call_v not_o upon_o god_n show_v no_o serious_a regard_n of_o any_o religion_n at_o all_o you_o can_v live_v among_o these_o and_o swear_v and_o drink_v and_o play_n with_o they_o and_o never_o cry_v out_o against_o they_o as_o bad_a man_n accus_n but_o religion_n be_v the_o best_a thing_n the_o corrupter_n of_o that_o be_v worse_o than_o drunkard_n and_o swearer_n and_o adulterer_n ans._n such_o corrupter_n there_o may_v be_v as_o be_v worse_o indeed_o but_o what_o be_v it_o that_o they_o corrupt_v religion_n in_o they_o subscribe_v to_o all_o the_o bible_n and_o the_o ancient_a creed_n and_o if_o need_v be_v to_o the_o english_a article_n of_o religion_n be_v not_o all_o that_o enough_o their_o many_o large_a publish_a write_n tell_v the_o world_n their_o

you_o therefore_o call_v they_o rogue_n or_o rebel_n or_o lay_v they_o in_o the_o jail_n do_v they_o worship_n god_n in_o a_o odious_a intolerable_a manner_n do_v the_o holy-ghost_n by_o they_o
