charity_n in_o that_o great_a instance_n of_o condescension_n to_o the_o infirmity_n of_o our_o weak_a brethren_n 1._o in_o the_o forego_n chapter_n the_o occasion_n of_o it_o be_v this_o there_o be_v in_o those_o first_o time_n many_o among_o the_o jew_n who_o though_o they_o be_v convert_v to_o the_o christian_a faith_n 20._o yet_o still_o continue_v zealous_a for_o the_o law_n and_o not_o only_o careful_o observe_v themselves_o all_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o it_o but_o will_v also_o by_o any_o mean_n impose_v upon_o all_o other_o also_o the_o observance_n of_o they_o and_o how_o

many_o passage_n both_o in_o the_o act_n and_o in_o st._n paul_n epistle_n do_v sufficient_o declare_v but_o as_o in_o all_o other_o difference_n it_o seldom_o happen_v that_o the_o whole_a heat_n of_o the_o controversy_n rest_v only_o on_o one_o side_n so_o here_o though_o the_o jewish_a convert_v be_v both_o the_o first_o beginner_n of_o this_o dispute_n and_o the_o more_o zealous_a pursuer_n of_o it_o yet_o neither_o be_v the_o gentile_a christian_n utter_o without_o fault_n in_o it_o but_o so_o far_o stand_v fast_o in_o that_o liberty_n wherewith_o christ_n have_v make_v they_o free_a as_o not_o only_o to_o despise_v the_o weakness_n and_o ignorance_n of_o the_o other_o 1._o etc._n but_o to_o be_v ready_a almost_o even_o to_o cut_v they_o off_o from_o their_o communion_n i_o need_v not_o say_v how_o dangerous_a such_o a_o controversy_n as_o this_o may_v have_v prove_v nor_o what_o a_o stop_v it_o may_v have_v put_v to_o the_o progress_n of_o christianity_n in_o those_o first_o beginning_n of_o the_o gospel_n great_a be_v the_o difficulty_n which_o the_o apostle_n undergo_v on_o this_o occasion_n whilst_o they_o endeavour_v so_o to_o menage_n themselves_o between_o these_o two_o party_n as_o not_o only_o not_o to_o offend_v either_o but_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o bring_v they_o both_o to_o such_o a_o temper_n with_o one_o another_o that_o neither_o the_o gentile_a convert_n may_v despise_v the_o weakness_n of_o his_o judaize_v brother_n nor_o the_o jewish_a votary_n judge_v too_o severe_o of_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o gentile_a christian._n and_o this_o be_v the_o design_n of_o st._n paul_n in_o the_o chapter_n before_o my_o text._n where_o address_v himself_o as_o indeed_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v do_v this_o whole_a epistle_n to_o the_o gentile_a christian_n and_o who_o as_o have_v the_o true_a notion_n of_o their_o christian_a liberty_n as_o to_o this_o matter_n he_o therefore_o call_v the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o strong_a in_o the_o faith_n v._n 1._o 1._o he_o exhort_v they_o in_o a_o most_o admirable_a discourse_n on_o this_o subject_a throughout_o that_o whole_a chapter_n to_o bear_v the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o weak_a ibid._n i._n e._n not_o to_o grieve_v nor_o despise_v they_o for_o their_o mistake_a zeal_n but_o by_o comply_v a_o little_a and_o condescend_v to_o their_o infirmity_n to_o endeavour_v if_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o draw_v they_o out_o of_o their_o error_n let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o please_v his_o neighbour_n for_o his_o good_a to_o edification_n 2._o and_o then_o conclude_v all_o in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n wherein_o we_o have_v first_o a_o hearty_a prayer_n to_o god_n almighty_a that_o he_o will_v inspire_v they_o so_o effectual_o with_o a_o spirit_n of_o unity_n and_o charity_n that_o notwithstanding_o all_o their_o difference_n they_o may_v join_v unanimous_o both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n not_o only_o in_o the_o same_o common_a worship_n of_o god_n but_o with_o the_o same_o hearty_a affection_n to_o one_o another_o now_o the_o god_n of_o patience_n and_o consolation_n grant_v you_o to_o be_v likeminded_a one_o towards_o another_o according_a to_o christ_n jesus_n that_o you_o may_v with_o one_o mind_n and_o one_o mouth_n glorify_v god_n even_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n and_o second_o a_o exhortation_n as_o the_o final_a result_n of_o his_o whole_a discourse_n that_o they_o shall_v with_o all_o charitable_a condescension_n and_o kindness_n receive_v and_o love_n and_o assist_v one_o another_o and_o not_o despise_v and_o censure_n and_o deprive_v one_o another_o either_o of_o their_o charity_n or_o their_o communion_n wherefore_o receive_v you_o one_o another_o as_o christ_n also_o receive_v we_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god._n in_o which_o word_n as_o they_o thus_o lie_v before_o we_o in_o the_o occasion_n and_o design_n of_o they_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o will_v offer_v themselves_o to_o our_o consideration_n first_o a_o exhortation_n to_o these_o dissent_v christian_n and_o in_o they_o to_o all_o of_o we_o not_o to_o break_v either_o charity_n or_o communion_n with_o one_o another_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o such_o thing_n wherein_o we_o may_v secure_o differ_v but_o mutual_o to_o bear_v with_o one_o another_o in_o our_o difference_n second_o loc_n a_o enforcement_n of_o this_o exhortation_n from_o two_o of_o the_o great_a consideration_n that_o can_v possible_o engage_v any_o christian_n to_o a_o observance_n of_o it_o viz._n first_o from_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n towards_o we_o second_o from_o the_o great_a glory_n that_o will_v hereby_o redound_v to_o god._n wherefore_o receive_v you_o one_o another_o as_o christ_n also_o receive_v we_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god._n i_o shall_v make_v it_o my_o endeavour_n with_o all_o the_o plainess_n that_o i_o can_v to_o pursue_v both_o the_o exhortation_n and_o the_o enforcement_n in_o the_o three_o follow_a proposition_n i._o that_o there_o may_v be_v difference_n in_o matter_n of_o lesser_a moment_n between_o very_o good_a and_o zealous_a christian_n without_o any_o just_a reflection_n either_o upon_o the_o man_n or_o upon_o their_o religion_n ii_o that_o these_o difference_n ought_v not_o to_o hinder_v such_o person_n from_o agree_v together_o not_o only_o in_o a_o common_a charity_n but_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a in_o a_o common_a worship_n of_o god_n too_o iii_o that_o to_o this_o end_v it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o christian_n but_o especial_o of_o those_o who_o be_v the_o strong_a in_o faith_n not_o only_o to_o pray_v for_o such_o a_o union_n but_o as_o they_o have_v opportunity_n hearty_o to_o labour_v themselves_o and_o earnest_o to_o stir_v up_o all_o other_o to_o endeavour_v after_o it_o 1._o and_o first_o that_o there_o may_v be_v difference_n in_o matter_n of_o lesser_a moment_n between_o very_o good_a and_o zealous_a christian_n without_o any_o just_a reflection_n upon_o the_o man_n or_o upon_o their_o religion_n for_o proof_n of_o which_o i_o think_v i_o need_v go_v no_o far_o than_o the_o very_a history_n of_o my_o text._n i_o have_v already_o say_v how_o great_a a_o division_n there_o be_v between_o the_o jewish_a and_o the_o gentile_a convert_v about_o the_o ritual_a observance_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o with_o what_o a_o zeal_n the_o dissent_v party_n manage_v the_o dispute_n till_o they_o have_v almost_o lose_v their_o charity_n and_o make_v a_o deplorable_a schism_n in_o the_o church_n of_o christ._n and_o yet_o i_o be_o confident_a no_o man_n will_v say_v that_o this_o be_v at_o all_o derogatory_n either_o to_o the_o truth_n of_o their_o common_a christianity_n or_o to_o the_o infallible_a authority_n with_o which_o the_o apostle_n have_v deliver_v it_o unto_o they_o and_o for_o the_o party_n themselves_o that_o thus_o differ_v with_o one_o another_o that_o they_o have_v a_o true_a zeal_n on_o both_o side_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o think_v
