albeit_o our_o saviour_n in_o his_o gospel_n assure_v we_o that_o man_n shall_v come_v from_o all_o corner_n of_o the_o world_n and_o sit_v down_o with_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob._n and_o john_n in_o his_o revelation_n tell_v we_o that_o multitude_n of_o all_o nation_n kindred_n and_o family_n be_v see_v follow_v the_o lamb._n upon_o this_o same_o block_n do_v these_o likewayes_fw-mi

thereat_o notwithstanding_o that_o the_o abovecited_a place_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v only_o twelve_o thousand_o of_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n the_o priest_n choose_v and_o the_o like_a number_n be_v prick_v in_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n the_o lawgiver_n aaron_n the_o priest_n do_v mould_n the_o golden_a calf_n and_o not_o moses_n the_o judge_n and_o korah_n and_o dathan_n be_v levit_n and_o yet_o mutine_v against_o their_o magistrate_n i_o say_v not_o this_o to_o disparage_v that_o holy_a function_n for_o none_o shall_v wish_v aaron_n rod_n to_o flourish_v more_o than_o myself_o and_o ordinary_o these_o who_o love_v not_o to_o touch_v the_o lord_n anoint_v will_v likeways_o be_v sure_a to_o do_v his_o prophet_n no_o harm_n but_o i_o say_v it_o to_o take_v off_o a_o aspersion_n which_o have_v stain_v too_o long_o and_o too_o injust_o these_o of_o my_o own_o profession_n be_v not_o the_o church_n our_o common_a mother_n albeit_o i_o confess_v she_o be_v likeways_o their_o nurse_n in_o a_o more_o particular_a way_n and_o since_o there_o be_v heavenly_a mannah_n enough_o to_o aliment_v we_o all_o why_o shall_v christian_n de_fw-fr ny_fw-fr to_o admit_v their_o brethren_n to_o a_o equal_a partage_n it_o grieve_v i_o sore_o to_o see_v my_o mother_n the_o church_n torture_v like_o rebecca_n by_o carry_v struggle_a twaine_n in_o her_o pain_a bowel_n and_o see_v all_o christian_n be_v but_o pilgrim_n here_o i_o admire_v that_o these_o pilgrim_n shall_v leave_v off_o to_o journey_n and_o stand_v skirmish_v and_o fight_v with_o all_o such_o as_o will_v not_o travel_v their_o road_n and_o albeit_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n take_v pain_n and_o be_v sufficient_a for_o lead_v all_o man_n in_o the_o way_n wherein_o they_o shall_v

all_o infinite_o better_a than_o one_o any_o of_o we_o do_v another_o leave_v we_o upon_o our_o own_o hazard_n a_o freedom_n in_o our_o choice_n albeit_o we_o poor_a miscreant_n compel_v one_o another_o deny_v to_o our_o fellow-creature_n that_o freedom_n which_o he_o allow_v all_o the_o creation_n i_o wish_v we_o will_v consider_v how_o each_o man_n eat_v drink_v care_n for_o his_o family_n and_o perform_v all_o common_a duty_n rational_a enough_o without_o any_o compulsion_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o affair_n of_o religion_n wherein_o doubtless_o man_n be_v lead_v by_o a_o far_o more_o infallible_a assistance_n there_o be_v many_o slip_v commit_v daily_o and_o gross_o notwithstanding_o of_o all_o the_o pain_n take_v and_o force_v use_v by_o one_o man_n towards_o another_o thus_o it_o fair_n with_o we_o as_o with_o patient_n who_o when_o the_o physician_n stint_v to_o a_o narrow_a diet_n than_o they_o loathe_v even_o that_o food_n which_o their_o unreined_a appetite_n will_v never_o have_v reject_v and_o this_o make_v i_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o if_o law_n and_o lawgiver_n do_v not_o make_v heretic_n vain_a by_o take_v too_o much_o notice_n of_o their_o

with_o top_n which_o how_o long_o they_o be_v scourge_v keep_v foot_n and_o run_v pleasant_o but_o fall_v how_o soon_o they_o be_v neglect_v and_o leave_v to_o themselves_o in_o order_n to_o which_o it_o be_v witty_o observe_v by_o our_o great_a king_n james_n the_o six_o that_o the_o puritan_n of_o his_o age_n strive_v with_o he_o and_o yet_o cede_v at_o first_o in_o a_o difference_n between_o they_o and_o the_o shoemaker_n of_o edinburgh_n for_o not_o only_o please_v it_o their_o humour_n to_o contend_v where_o they_o may_v gain_v honour_n and_o can_v loss_n none_o but_o likeways_o by_o contest_v with_o monarch_n they_o magnify_v to_o the_o people_n their_o pious_a courage_n assure_v the_o world_n that_o such_o attempt_n require_v a_o particular_a assistance_n from_o heaven_n and_o when_o their_o jangle_n have_v extort_a some_o concession_n from_o the_o magistrate_n as_o ordinary_o it_o do_v than_o they_o press_v that_o success_n as_o a_o infallible_a mark_n of_o the_o jure-divinoship_a of_o their_o quarrel_n albeit_o i_o confess_v that_o when_o these_o not_o only_o recede_v from_o the_o canonize_a creed_n of_o the_o church_n but_o likeways_o encroach_v upon_o the_o law_n of_o the_o state_n then_o as_o of_o all_o other_o they_o be_v the_o most_o dangerous_a so_o of_o all_o other_o they_o shall_v be_v most_o severe_o punish_v opinion_n keep_v within_o its_o proper_a bound_n be_v a_o pure_a act_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o so_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o to_o punish_v the_o body_n for_o that_o which_o be_v a_o guilt_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v as_o unjust_a as_o to_o punish_v one_o relation_n for_o another_o and_o this_o bloodthirsty_a zeal_n which_o have_v reign_v in_o our_o age_n suppose_v our_o most_o merciful_a god_n to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o

such_o as_o dissent_v from_o we_o but_o even_o then_o when_o he_o command_v that_o the_o prophet_n who_o tempt_v other_o to_o idolatry_n shall_v be_v slay_v yet_o speak_v he_o nothing_o of_o punish_v these_o who_o be_v seduce_v by_o they_o and_o why_o shall_v we_o show_v so_o much_o violence_n in_o these_o thing_n whereof_o we_o can_v show_v no_o certain_a evidence_n as_o ordinary_o we_o can_v in_o circumfundamental_a debate_n be_v we_o not_o ready_a to_o condemn_v to_o day_n as_o fanatic_a what_o yesterday_o be_v judge_v jure-divino_a and_o do_v not_o even_o those_o who_o persecute_v

to_o be_v use_v by_o other_o against_o ourselves_o by_o the_o persecution_n use_v by_o ourselves_o against_o other_o our_o saviour_n forbid_v we_o to_o pluck_v up_o the_o tear_n lest_o the_o wheat_n

i_o our_o short-coming_a in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o these_o mystery_n sol_o to_o their_o obstrusness_n but_o i_o believe_v our_o meditation_n be_v more_o cloud_v in_o relation_n to_o these_o then_o real_o they_o need_v to_o be_v because_o of_o their_o innate_a frailty_n for_o we_o see_v that_o some_o who_o be_v master_n of_o much_o reason_n in_o thing_n humane_a betray_v much_o solly_n in_o their_o devotion_n wherefore_o i_o be_o induce_v to_o believe_v that_o it_o fare_v with_o the_o soul_n in_o this_o as_o usual_o it_o do_v with_o the_o body_n who_o pull_v be_v proportional_o the_o

their_o endeavour_n be_v faint_a than_o these_o who_o spirit_n be_v of_o a_o lesser_a size_n and_o these_o colossus_n wit_n become_v the_o great_a heretic_n as_o these_o ordinary_o be_v most_o burn_v

thought_n then_o to_o find_v a_o reason_n why_o the_o heathen_n who_o be_v as_o assiduous_a and_o zealous_a too_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o their_o god_n as_o we_o christian_n do_v never_o frequent_a sermon_n nor_o know_v no_o such_o part_n of_o divine_a service_n whereof_o probable_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o their_o governor_n who_o command_n among_o they_o be_v the_o sole_a

report_v late_o renew_v by_o the_o duke_n of_o russia_n and_o this_o seem_v also_o to_o have_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o all_o liturgy_n have_v prick_v text_n for_o their_o preacher_n lest_o if_o they_o have_v be_v leave_v a_o freedom_n in_o their_o choice_n they_o have_v choose_v such_o as_o may_v in_o the_o letter_n have_v suit_v best_a with_o such_o seditious_a libel_n as_o be_v now_o obtrude_v upon_o the_o people_n in_o lieu_n of_o pious_a homily_n at_o remarkable_a or_o festival_n occasion_n yet_o i_o think_v that_o our_o late_a doctor_n who_o can_v find_v all_o doctrine_n in_o any_o text_n will_v easy_o have_v elude_v that_o canonic_a design_n if_o we_o shall_v parallel_v the_o homily_n which_o these_o renown_a father_n have_v leave_v as_o legacy_n to_o posterity_n with_o these_o which_o our_o age_n run_v after_o we_o will_v find_v that_o the_o first_o be_v point_a lesson_n of_o mortification_n which_o like_o moses_n rod_n can_v draw_v gush_n of_o tear_n from_o the_o rocky_a heart_n of_o the_o most_o obdure_v sinner_n whereas_o many_o of_o these_o last_o be_v but_o state-gazet_n wherein_o the_o people_n be_v inform_v what_o be_v the_o resolve_n of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o whereas_o their_o first_o institution_n make_v they_o ambassador_n of_o glad-tyding_n betwixt_o god_n and_o his_o people_n they_o have_v make_v themselves_o herald_n to_o denounce_v war_n betwixt_o god_n vicegerent_n and_o his_o subject_n thus_o peter_n successor_n will_v oft_o time_n like_o himself_o rather_o draw_v the_o sword_n then_o watch_v for_o their_o master_n and_o since_o our_o saviour_n have_v disarm_v they_o as_o he_o do_v peter_n and_o fill_v their_o hand_n with_o the_o key_n these_o who_o offend_v they_o be_v sure_a to_o get_v over_o the_o head_n with_o these_o i_o confess_v god_n have_v not_o leave_v his_o church_n without_o some_o skilful_a pilot_n to_o lead_v in_o his_o servant_n with_o security_n to_o the_o harbour_n of_o salvation_n to_o who_o this_o discourse_n and_o its_o author_n shall_v pay_v all_o respect_n most_o of_o all_o church_n do_v like_o coy_a church_n maid_n lace_n their_o body_n so_o straight_o that_o they_o bring_v on_o they_o a_o consumption_n and_o will_v have_v the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n to_o have_v be_v only_o make_v for_o themselves_o and_o as_o this_o nigardliness_n have_v possess_v church_n so_o from_o that_o
