that_o be_v godly_a of_o the_o presbytery_n must_v reprove_v those_o man_n that_o be_v full_a of_o fire_n and_o faggot_n and_o nothing_o else_o rather_o reprove_v they_o then_o connive_v at_o they_o multitude_n 5._o the_o common_a multitude_n five_o and_o last_o and_o so_o to_o end_v for_o this_o time_n the_o last_o sort_n of_o people_n be_v the_o common_a superstitious_a multitude_n they_o exceed_o blow_v up_o the_o fire_n how_o they_o cry_v out_o of_o division_n there_o be_v so_o many_o religion_n among_o we_o there_o be_v this_o religion_n and_o that_o and_o they_o be_v all_o for_o

division_n and_o stir_n among_o we_o thus_o the_o blind_a multitude_n cry_v whereas_o it_o be_v better_a to_o have_v division_n than_o a_o evil_a uniformity_n it_o be_v true_a the_o time_n will_v come_v that_o all_o shall_v be_v of_o one_o heart_n and_o one_o way_n but_o it_o have_v never_o yet_o be_v there_o be_v abundance_n of_o difference_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n in_o the_o first_o church_n between_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n and_o they_o be_v always_o wrangle_v about_o blood_n and_o about_o the_o law_n and_o geneallogy_n yet_o they_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n &_o dear_a to_o the_o lord_n so_o i_o say_v every_o little_a difference_n and_o descent_n make_v not_o a_o new_a religion_n no_o opinion_n be_v profitable_a in_o a_o sort_n in_o the_o church_n that_o some_o

for_o i_o but_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o exdient_a the_o last_o lesson_n from_o these_o word_n be_v this_o that_o a_o christian_a under_o the_o new-testament_n ought_v not_o only_o to_o eye_n what_o be_v lawful_a what_o be_v absolute_o command_v or_o forbid_v but_o to_o eye_n also_o what_o be_v expedient_a and_o what_o be_v inexpedient_a what_o be_v convenient_a and_o what_o be_v inconvenient_a what_o edify_v and_o what_o edify_v not_o we_o open_v this_o to_o you_o and_o come_v to_o a_o use_n where_o we_o be_v at_o this_o time_n to_o exhort_v you_o that_o this_o may_v sink_v into_o your_o heart_n to_o wit_n that_o you_o will_v not_o make_v law_n to_o yourselves_o in_o the_o new-testament_n where_o christ_n have_v not_o bind_v you_o and_o where_o christ_n have_v leave_v you_o free_a and_o have_v not_o determine_v thing_n second_o i_o exhort_v you_o that_o you_o will_v be_v careful_a and_o vigilant_a and_o wise_a to_o take_v notice_n in_o all_o thing_n what_o be_v expedient_a and_o to_o do_v the_o same_o and_o to_o press_v it_o on_o you_o we_o propose_v one_o motive_n to_o you_o which_o be_v the_o main_a drift_n of_o all_o the_o discourse_n we_o intend_v upon_o this_o scripture_n to_o wit_n that_o this_o be_v the_o ready_a way_n of_o peace_n and_o to_o end_v strife_n and_o contention_n among_o the_o saint_n now_o how_o that_o be_v i_o have_v open_v to_o you_o as_o i_o be_v able_a and_o so_o finish_v it_o this_o morning_n now_o to_o set_v it_o on_o a_o little_a more_o upon_o your_o soul_n not_o to_o repeat_v any_o thing_n there_o be_v two_o or_o three_o word_n more_o that_o may_v stir_v you_o up_o consider_v it_o for_o i_o know_v it_o be_v a_o harsh_a truth_n to_o many_o of_o your_o ear_n i_o fear_v you_o have_v many_o prejudices_fw-la against_o it_o but_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v it_o well_o it_o be_v of_o great_a consequence_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o master_n stone_n in_o your_o foundation_n i_o mean_v in_o your_o walk_n and_o conversation_n towards_o man_n at_o least_o i_o say_v therefore_o i_o will_v add_v certain_a motive_n more_o and_o as_o the_o first_o be_v the_o way_n to_o peace_n among_o the_o saint_n to_o end_v controversy_n that_o be_v among_o they_o self_n motive_n 2._o the_o way_n to_o peace_n in_o a_o man_n self_n so_o second_o it_o be_v a_o way_n to_o peace_n a_o way_n to_o end_v the_o controversy_n of_o a_o christian_a with_o himself_o for_o belove_v i_o dare_v say_v and_o i_o be_o able_a to_o make_v it_o good_a and_o have_v know_v it_o by_o experience_n in_o other_o saint_n that_o the_o most_o of_o your_o guilt_n and_o the_o most_o of_o your_o trouble_n that_o be_v within_o you_o christian_n most_o of_o the_o guilt_n on_o christian_n it_o arise_v not_o from_o do_v of_o thing_n simple_o sinful_a or_o neglect_v thing_n simple_o command_v but_o from_o some_o disorderly_a do_v of_o lawful_a thing_n and_o that_o be_v two_o way_n heart_n 1._o do_v lawful_a thing_n with_o common_a heart_n either_o that_o you_o do_v lawful_a thing_n as_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o sleep_v and_o divers_a other_o thing_n with_o common_a heart_n and_o eye_v not_o god_n in_o the_o do_n of_o they_o you_o do_v they_o in_o a_o carnal_a fashion_n without_o holiness_n for_o we_o must_v be_v holy_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o conversation_n you_o be_v not_o holy_a when_o you_o be_v eat_v you_o have_v not_o a_o holy_a frame_n of_o soul_n when_o you_o be_v sleep_v therefore_o your_o sleep_n and_o your_o meat_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n they_o produce_v a_o world_n of_o guilt_n and_o trouble_v you_o do_v they_o with_o common_a heart_n as_o the_o pharisee_n say_v the_o disciple_n eat_v with_o common_a hand_n inexpedient_o 2._o do_v lawful_a thing_n inexpedient_o or_o else_o second_o it_o be_v from_o do_v lawful_a thing_n inexpedient_o you_o eye_v not_o what_o be_v expedient_a meat_n and_o drink_v and_o sleep_v and_o talk_v and_o walk_v and_o clothes_n and_o recreation_n they_o be_v lawful_a but_o in_o all_o these_o you_o look_v not_o what_o be_v expedient_a and_o i_o mean_v not_o only_o beloved_n those_o civil_a thing_n that_o i_o name_v to_o you_o but_o also_o in_o religious_a thing_n wherein_o god_n have_v not_o determine_v you_o make_v law_n to_o yourselves_o and_o then_o you_o fail_v in_o keep_v of_o those_o law_n as_o usual_o when_o god_n see_v man_n make_v law_n to_o themselves_o let_v they_o keep_v they_o themselves_o if_o they_o will_v it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n not_o to_o give_v power_n to_o keep_v law_n that_o be_v not_o of_o his_o own_o make_n make_v god_n will_v not_o give_v strength_n to_o keep_v law_n that_o he_o have_v not_o make_v god_n will_v not_o help_v you_o you_o make_v law_n i_o say_v and_o you_o have_v no_o strength_n to_o keep_v they_o and_o then_o there_o arise_v a_o world_n of_o guilt_n and_o trouble_v as_o thus_o god_n command_v we_o to_o pray_v always_o to_o be_v earnest_a in_o prayer_n to_o read_v the_o word_n to_o teach_v our_o child_n to_o help_v our_o neighbour_n to_o do_v good_a to_o their_o soul_n and_o body_n now_o you_o have_v make_v a_o law_n that_o you_o will_v pray_v in_o your_o family_n so_o oft_o and_o pray_v private_o so_o oft_o and_o read_v so_o many_o chapter_n a_o day_n and_o keep_v so_o many_o day_n of_o humiliation_n once_o a_o week_n or_o so_o here_o be_v a_o law_n of_o your_o own_o make_n i_o say_v not_o but_o it_o be_v expedient_a to_o do_v so_o sometime_o and_o many_o time_n but_o you_o make_v it_o a_o absolute_a law_n that_o when_o god_n come_v and_o call_v you_o to_o another_o thing_n contrary_a to_o your_o law_n whence_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n in_o christian_n whence_o than_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o guilt_n and_o horror_n on_o your_o soul_n as_o for_o instance_n you_o make_v a_o law_n that_o you_o will_v pray_v twice_o before_o you_o go_v forth_o every_o morning_n private_o and_o in_o your_o family_n and_o it_o be_v a_o good_a course_n if_o thing_n be_v according_a because_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o pray_v always_o but_o you_o make_v a_o absolute_a law_n and_o there_o come_v another_o business_n of_o great_a weight_n you_o have_v pray_v once_o and_o

in_o the_o old_a testament_n all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a lawful_a what_o be_v that_o be_v lawful_a what_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n be_v lawful_a when_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v neither_o command_v nor_o forbid_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n when_o it_o be_v not_o determine_v by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n whether_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o or_o not_o do_v it_o that_o be_v lawful_a so_o when_o he_o say_v all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a he_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o thing_n leave_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o be_v neither_o command_v nor_o forbid_v by_o the_o lord_n misunderstand_v i_o not_o thing_n sin_n in_o do_v of_o lawful_a thing_n you_o sin_v when_o you_o do_v unexpedient_a thing_n and_o than_o you_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v be_v it_o not_o lawful_a no_o though_o the_o thing_n in_o particular_a be_v not_o unlawful_a yet_o you_o sin_n in_o that_o you_o cross_v a_o general_a rule_n that_o be_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v lawful_a yet_o you_o be_v not_o to_o do_v they_o in_o extreme_n as_o for_o instance_n you_o may_v marry_v yet_o you_o may_v sin_v in_o marry_v not_o that_o you_o cross_v a_o particular_a command_n for_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o marry_v but_o you_o cross_v a_o general_a rule_n and_o so_o you_o sin_n but_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o expedient_a but_o that_o be_v when_o i_o say_v all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a you_o think_v you_o have_v all_o liberty_n by_o that_o but_o hold_v all_o thing_n be_v not_o expedient_a though_o it_o be_v lawful_a yet_o look_v not_o only_o to_o that_o but_o see_v that_o it_o be_v expedient_a and_o so_o if_o you_o look_v to_o the_o rule_n of_o expediency_n you_o will_v walk_v a_o hundred_o time_n strict_a than_o man_n that_o only_o look_v what_o be_v lawful_a and_o what_o be_v not_o alice_n thing_n that_o be_v divers_a thing_n be_v not_o expedient_a be_v not_o that_o be_v they_o be_v not_o so_o altogether_o always_o in_o all_o place_n to_o all_o person_n all_o thing_n in_o all_o place_n at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o circumstance_n be_v not_o expedient_a for_o all_o person_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o almost_o but_o in_o some_o place_n and_o at_o some_o time_n what_o expedient_a what_o and_o for_o some_o person_n be_v expedient_a e_o xpedient_a what_o be_v that_o it_o do_v not_o edify_v it_o do_v not_o beseem_v the_o profession_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v not_o lovely_a it_o be_v not_o venerable_a it_o be_v not_o true_a it_o be_v not_o honourable_a it_o do_v not_o edify_v the_o brethren_n it_o do_v not_o win_v sinner_n it_o do_v not_o adorn_v the_o gospel_n it_o do_v not_o become_v our_o profession_n when_o he_o say_v all_o thing_n be_v not_o expedient_a it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v there_o be_v abundance_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v lawful_a that_o do_v not_o honour_n god_n that_o do_v not_o win_v sinner_n and_o build_v up_o the_o saint_n so_o now_o you_o understand_v the_o word_n all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a for_o i_o but_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o expedient_a there_o be_v three_o lesson_n that_o i_o mean_v to_o observe_v from_o these_o word_n and_o which_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v i_o intend_v to_o open_a to_o you_o first_o you_o may_v learn_v this_o that_o the_o saint_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n they_o be_v not_o so_o strict_o bind_v in_o point_n of_o lawfulness_n as_o the_o saint_n be_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o second_o be_v this_o that_o the_o saint_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v as_o strict_o or_o rather_o more_o strict_o bind_v in_o point_n of_o expediency_n than_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o you_o shall_v seldom_o read_v of_o expediency_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n but_o if_o a_o thing_n be_v lawful_a for_o the_o generality_n they_o may_v do_v it_o three_o you_o may_v learn_v this_o lesson_n that_o if_o a_o christian_a will_v walk_v honourable_o and_o spiritual_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n he_o must_v not_o only_o so_o much_o eye_n what_o be_v lawful_a as_o what_o be_v expedient_a these_o three_o thing_n be_v teach_v here_o as_o i_o apprehend_v in_o the_o word_n and_o of_o these_o let_v i_o this_o day_n only_o open_v a_o little_a of_o the_o former_a for_o you_o must_v take_v they_o together_o you_o must_v not_o without_o wrong_n to_o your_o own_o soul_n and_o dishonour_n to_o god_n take_v one_o doctrine_n and_o not_o all_o but_o hear_v all_o and_o without_o prejudice_n compare_v all_o and_o weigh_v and_o try_v they_o the_o first_o observation_n doct._n 1_o old_a that_o s_n it_o be_v in_o the_o new-testament_n be_v not_o so_o strict_o bind_v in_o point_n of_o lawfulness_n as_o in_o the_o old_a or_o doctrine_n be_v that_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o point_n of_o lawfulness_n be_v not_o so_o strict_o bind_v as_o the_o saint_n be_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v lawful_a for_o the_o saint_n to_o do_v that_o be_v not_o lawful_a in_o the_o old_a testament_n or_o there_o be_v a_o great_a latitude_n there_o be_v more_o space_n for_o a_o christian_a for_o a_o believer_n in_o his_o walk_n and_o conversation_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o there_o be_v in_o the_o old_a belove_a there_o be_v some_o truth_n in_o this_o that_o you_o may_v apprehend_v present_o for_o go_v no_o further_o than_o these_o very_a question_n that_o be_v here_o ask_v it_o seem_v that_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n all_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o lawful_a it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o eat_v all_o kind_n of_o flesh_n no_o flesh_n that_o be_v defile_v that_o be_v offer_v to_o idol_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o eat_v swine_n flesh_n and_o divers_a other_o thing_n now_o all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a every_o creature_n of_o god_n be_v good_a if_o they_o have_v unbelieving_a wife_n strange_a wife_n ezra_n 9_o nehem._n 9_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o keep_v they_o they_o must_v drive_v they_o away_o and_o their_o child_n but_o now_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o unbelieving_a wife_n to_o remain_v with_o she_o i_o say_v there_o be_v somewhat_o that_o you_o present_o see_v that_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o point_n of_o lawfulness_n be_v not_o so_o strict_o and_o absolute_o bind_v up_o as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o old_a i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o few_o scripture_n before_o i_o come_v to_o open_v it_o further_o mat._n 11._o ult_n come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o labour_n and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v and_o i_o will_v give_v you_o rest_n take_v my_o

meaning_n of_o it_o be_v this_o that_o christ_n jesus_n see_v poor_a people_n trudge_v in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n as_o they_o think_v and_o every_o one_o think_v to_o be_v save_v in_o his_o own_o

you_o that_o be_v weary_a &_o heavy_a lade_v now_o i_o say_v with_o submission_n i_o think_v the_o meaning_n be_v not_o as_o we_o usual_o take_v it_o come_v to_o i_o all_o you_o that_o be_v lade_v with_o sin_n and_o receive_v salvation_n though_o that_o be_v true_a but_o you_o that_o weary_a yourselves_o with_o the_o yoke_n and_o burden_n of_o your_o own_o righteousness_n what_o christ_n yoke_n what_o and_o labour_v to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n come_v unto_o i_o you_o that_o be_v weary_a and_o heavy_a lade_v and_o i_o will_v give_v you_o rest_n how_o be_v that_o i_o will_v take_v away_o the_o

of_o his_o bone_n it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o service_n of_o christ_n but_o you_o will_v say_v object_n the_o service_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v sweet_a we_o see_v man_n continue_v to_o be_v his_o

that_o sweetness_n be_v from_o distemper_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o sweetness_n that_o arise_v from_o their_o sickness_n and_o distemper_n as_o a_o child_n e_o that_o will_v eat_v no_o meat_n sometime_o

not_o so_o strict_o bind_v as_o the_o saint_n be_v under_o the_o old_a testament_n this_o you_o have_v prove_v and_o open_v to_o you_o in_o some_o measure_n the_o last_o day_n in_o the_o morning_n we_o have_v occasion_n from_o this_o doctrine_n by_o the_o by_o to_o call_v upon_o poor_a sinner_n to_o come_v in_o to_o christ_n because_o their_o be_v such_o largeness_n and_o liberty_n and_o

be_v in_o divers_a christian_n among_o we_o that_o do_v cause_n contention_n we_o may_v just_o reprove_v they_o from_o this_o doctrine_n we_o may_v discover_v they_o at_o least_o i_o will_v not_o
