labyrinth_n because_o jar_v and_o jangle_v about_o error_n they_o let_v pass_v the_o main_a ground_n of_o truth_n and_o strive_v to_o find_v out_o new_a way_n they_o do_v quite_o forget_v the_o old_a way_n which_o be_v the_o good_a way_n and_o be_v become_v almost_o ignorant_a of_o the_o first_o and_o chief_a principle_n of_o religion_n such_o be_v the_o policy_n of_o satan_n to_o busy_v their_o head_n about_o the_o less_o needful_a controversy_n thereby_o to_o make_v they_o the_o less_o diligent_a to_o inquire_v after_o the_o most_o necessary_a counsel_n of_o their_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o consider_v with_o myself_o what_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o he_o desire_v to_o know_v nothing_o but_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v i_o have_v apply_v myself_o to_o treat_v of_o these_o ensue_a theme_n i_o confess_v my_o manner_n of_o handle_v they_o be_v like_o myself_o plain_a and_o homely_a without_o any_o gorgeous_a garment_n of_o rhetorical_a ornament_n because_o i_o ever_o desire_v to_o speak_v rather_o for_o the_o edification_n of_o my_o hearer_n then_o for_o the_o oftenstation_n of_o myself_o but_o i_o assure_v you_o the_o matter_n be_v like_o they_o from_o who_o i_o receive_v it_o sound_n and_o good_a fit_a to_o feed_v all_o those_o christian_n that_o desire_v rather_o to_o have_v their_o hungry_a soul_n feed_v with_o the_o sincere_a milk_n of_o god_n word_n than_o their_o itch_a ear_n tickle_v with_o the_o entice_a speech_n of_o man_n wisdom_n for_o they_o do_v contain_v the_o knowledge_n of_o ourselves_o how_o poor_a and_o miserable_a we_o be_v become_v by_o sin_n the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a and_o eternal_a god_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n god_n and_o man_n than_o who_o there_o be_v no_o great_a no_o better_o which_o few_o lesson_n be_v alone_o able_a to_o make_v we_o happy_a i_o need_v speak_v no_o more_o of_o the_o work_n let_v it_o speak_v for_o i_o i_o refer_v all_o to_o god_n who_o esteem_v of_o our_o endeavour_n not_o by_o their_o event_n but_o by_o our_o intent_n but_o remember_v that_o present_v your_o honour_n with_o a_o book_n i_o must_v not_o make_v a_o book_n of_o a_o epistle_n i_o only_o desire_v you_o to_o accept_v these_o note_n of_o a_o scholar_n observation_n who_o desire_v not_o so_o much_o to_o make_v himself_o know_v as_o to_o acknowledge_v his_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o his_o desire_n to_o do_v he_o service_n to_o extol_v his_o name_n in_o heaven_n and_o not_o to_o gain_v himself_o a_o name_n on_o earth_n and_o to_o have_v all_o his_o thought_n and_o work_n to_o honour_n

endeavour_v always_o to_o support_v my_o mean_a estate_n by_o meditate_v on_o the_o apostle_n lesson_n in_o any_o state_n to_o be_v content_v and_o i_o know_v that_o as_o we_o come_v naked_a into_o

unfeigned_a joy_n to_o see_v your_o lordship_n place_v in_o that_o seat_n of_o government_n wherein_o you_o be_v in_o a_o certain_a hope_n that_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v of_o timothy_n according_a to_o the_o prophecy_n that_o go_v afore_o of_o you_o that_o be_v the_o prophetical_a expectation_n that_o all_o man_n conceive_v of_o you_o and_o the_o fair_a promise_n that_o your_o religious_a and_o always_o upright_o carriage_n have_v make_v unto_o we_o your_o lordship_n will_v be_v a_o great_a comfort_n and_o a_o divine_a blessing_n unto_o that_o whole_a diocese_n wherein_o you_o live_v i_o know_v it_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o many_o i_o dare_v not_o say_v of_o any_o bishop_n either_o base_o to_o sell_v their_o spiritual_a promotion_n or_o sinister_o to_o bestow_v they_o on_o their_o friend_n their_o kinsman_n and_o alliance_n and_o yet_o i_o say_v not_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v imitate_v that_o paint_a harlot_n of_o babylon_n nor_o that_o jerusalem_n justifi_v samaria_n but_o as_o demodocus_n say_v of_o the_o milesian_n they_o be_v no_o fool_n and_o yet_o they_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o fool_n do_v so_o i_o fear_v that_o we_o may_v say_v of_o many_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n we_o be_v no_o pagan_n no_o pope_n no_o papist_n no_o worldling_n no_o carnal_a man_n and_o yet_o though_o i_o say_v not_o that_o any_o man_n do_v ill_a yet_o i_o doubt_v we_o do_v not_o all_o well_o not_o much_o better_a than_o they_o use_v to_o do_v herein_o i_o confess_v the_o apostle_n note_v it_o as_o a_o vice_n of_o the_o latter_a time_n to_o be_v without_o natural_a affection_n but_o if_o gift_n blind_a the_o eye_n of_o the_o wise_a that_o they_o pervert_v judgement_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o this_o carnal_a love_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n will_v sometime_o with_o midas_n prefer_v pan_n before_o apollo_n and_o this_o natural_a affection_n to_o kindred_n being_n unworthy_a will_v not_o only_o deject_v the_o mind_n of_o painful_a man_n and_o cause_n man_n rather_o to_o seek_v to_o be_v ally_v to_o other_o then_o to_o attain_v unto_o any_o worth_n in_o themselves_o but_o it_o must_v also_o turn_v to_o the_o hurt_n and_o detriment_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n and_o do_v apparent_o show_v such_o spiritual_a patron_n to_o be_v indeed_o carnal_o mind_v for_o do_v not_o the_o publican_n and_o sinner_n even_o the_o same_o and_o therefore_o though_o i_o wish_v all_o man_n to_o abound_v in_o love_n and_o affection_n unto_o their_o kinsfolk_n yet_o in_o this_o case_n i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o all_o of_o we_o ●8_o deut._n 33_o ●8_o will_v imitate_v levi_n who_o say_v unto_o his_o father_n and_o to_o his_o mother_n i_o have_v not_o see_v he_o neither_o do_v he_o acknowledge_v his_o brethren_n nor_o know_v his_o own_o child_n but_o observe_v god_n word_n and_o keep_v his_o covenant_n that_o we_o will_v set_v god_n always_o before_o our_o eye_n worthy_a neither_o do_v i_o say_v this_o to_o deny_v that_o man_n shall_v do_v for_o their_o kinsfolk_n be_v worthy_a man_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o do_v this_o neglect_v other_o far_a more_o worthy_a and_o lay_v aside_o all_o sinister_a respect_n will_v do_v only_o what_o shall_v be_v most_o for_o god_n glory_n for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o painful_a preacher_n and_o for_o the_o best_a benefit_n unto_o the_o people_n of_o god_n for_o if_o christ_n be_v lose_v by_o mary_n and_o joseph_n can_v not_o be_v find_v among_o his_o own_o friend_n and_o kinsfolk_n these_o man_n shall_v take_v heed_n they_o find_v he_o not_o among_o they_o i_o can_v say_v more_o of_o this_o point_n and_o yet_o not_o so_o much_o as_o saint_n bernard_n say_v unto_o eugenius_n of_o many_o other_o point_v like_a to_o this_o but_o this_o will_v serve_v to_o be_v a_o witness_n against_o some_o at_o the_o dreadful_a day_n and_o perhaps_o to_o stir_v up_o as_o much_o rage_n against_o myself_o as_o the_o jew_n have_v against_o saint_n stephen_n for_o speak_v this_o truth_n against_o they_o that_o use_v such_o deal_n against_o god_n if_o it_o do_v i_o say_v as_o saint_n chrysostome_n say_v of_o the_o rage_n of_o that_o cruel_a empress_n if_o they_o keep_v i_o poor_a i_o know_v christ_n have_v not_o a_o house_n to_o put_v his_o head_n in_o if_o they_o silence_v i_o and_o thrust_v i_o out_o of_o their_o synagogue_n so_o be_v that_o poor_a man_n that_o confess_v christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n enjoin_v not_o to_o speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n if_o they_o cast_v i_o into_o prison_n so_o be_v jeremy_n saint_n peter_n saint_n paul_n and_o many_o more_o if_o i_o be_v force_v to_o fly_v my_o country_n i_o have_v that_o belove_a john_n and_o that_o atlas-like_o athanasius_n for_o precedent_n of_o the_o like_a usage_n or_o whatsoever_o else_o shall_v be_v do_v unto_o i_o i_o have_v the_o holy_a martyr_n for_o my_o fellow_n sufferer_n and_o i_o will_v never_o count_v my_o life_n dear_a unto_o i_o so_o i_o may_v finish_v my_o course_n
