of_o ignorance_n and_o inconsideration_n if_o we_o have_v be_v honest_o industrious_a to_o learn_v our_o duty_n and_o watchful_a to_o prevent_v a_o surprise_n where_o we_o discern_v danger_n of_o it_o

where_o tell_v that_o he_o who_o be_v careful_a to_o avoid_v all_o wilful_a sin_n that_o will_v forsake_v his_o father_n or_o his_o mother_n his_o brother_n or_o sister_n nay_o his_o own_o life_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o god_n that_o be_v rather_o than_o sin_n against_o he_o know_o &_o willing_o we_o be_v not_o where_o tell_v that_o this_o man_n do_v not_o love_n god_n with_o all_o his_o

expression_n of_o the_o love_n that_o be_v owe_v to_o the_o first_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n under_o the_o old_a law_n david_n who_o best_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o

that_o be_v heinous_a and_o deliberate_a sin_n for_o david_n know_v that_o himself_o and_o all_o mankind_n will_v always_o have_v their_o secret_a sin_n their_o sin_n of_o ignorance_n and_o

extreme_o guilty_a before_o the_o great_a searcher_n of_o heart_n and_o st._n paul_n in_o this_o be_v my_o precedent_n in_o 1_o cor._n 4.4_o though_o he_o know_v nothing_o of_o himself_o yet_o he_o

with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a and_o so_o great_a a_o man_n as_o the_o forementioned_a apostle_n say_v he_o count_v not_o himself_o to_o have_v apprehend_v but_o forget_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v

to_o some_o that_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o censure_v he_o as_o to_o the_o discharge_n of_o his_o apostolical_a function_n and_o to_o reprove_v they_o for_o the_o rashness_n of_o their_o censure_n he_o

judge_v not_o the_o whole_a context_n run_v thus_o but_o with_o i_o it_o be_v a_o very_a small_a thing_n that_o i_o shall_v be_v judge_v of_o you_o or_o man_n judgement_n yea_o i_o judge_v not_o my_o own_o self_n for_o i_o know_v nothing_o by_o myself_o yet_o be_o i_o not_o hereby_o justify_v but_o he_o that_o judge_v i_o be_v the_o lord_n therefore_o judge_v nothing_o before_o the_o time_n till_o the_o lord_n come_v but_o do_v he_o say_v though_o i_o know_v nothing_o by_o myself_o yet_o i_o may_v be_v so_o far_o criminal_a as_o to_o have_v bring_v myself_o into_o a_o state_n of_o damnation_n this_o will_v come_v up_o to_o the_o point_n but_o nothing_o less_o will_n to_o go_v on_o then_o to_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o objection_n it_o be_v true_a st._n paul_n advise_v the_o

they_o can_v not_o know_v when_o they_o do_v so_o as_o for_o that_o other_o passage_n that_o st._n paul_n count_v not_o himself_o to_o have_v apprehend_v but_o look_v towards_o the_o thing_n
