and_o look_v with_o a_o wry_a mouth_n but_o yet_o they_o do_v object_n and_o say_v that_o object_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o charity_n one_o man_n ought_v to_o believe_v another_o upon_o his_o word_n and_o charity_n be_v not_o suspicious_a and_o the_o apostle_n 7._o say_v that_o love_n think_v no_o evil_a but_o judge_v the_o best_a and_o hope_v the_o best_a therefore_o if_o one_o promise_v payment_n or_o if_o one_o promise_v appearance_n by_o a_o day_n or_o if_o one_o promise_v amendment_n of_o his_o fault_n we_o ought_v to_o believe_v he_o without_o any_o further_a bond_n or_o surety_n and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o we_o suspect_v his_o credit_n or_o his_o honesty_n or_o that_o he_o will_v not_o do_v as_o he_o say_v but_o will_v break_v promise_n &_o so_o deceive_v we_o and_o if_o we_o think_v so_o of_o he_o than_o we_o judge_v uncharitable_o of_o he_o for_o charity_n be_v not_o suspicious_a now_o for_o a_o answer_n this_o i_o say_v first_o as_o charity_n be_v not_o suspicious_a answer_n without_o cause_n so_o charity_n be_v not_o blockish_a and_o foolish_a when_o there_o be_v cause_n but_o do_v and_o may_v learn_v to_o judge_v of_o one_o thing_n by_o another_o our_o saviour_n christ_n will_v not_o commit_v himself_o unto_o the_o jew_n because_o he_o know_v what_o be_v in_o man_n 24._o shall_v we_o therefore_o say_v that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n break_v the_o rule_n of_o charity_n so_o when_o we_o know_v what_o be_v in_o man_n we_o shall_v not_o break_v the_o rule_n of_o charity_n though_o we_o do_v not_o commit_v ourselves_o to_o the_o courtesy_n of_o all_o man_n without_o the_o use_n of_o some_o honest_a mean_n for_o our_o safety_n now_o that_o which_o he_o know_v be_v by_o his_o divine_a knowledge_n without_o any_o sign_n or_o token_n for_o he_o be_v god_n and_o know_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v he_o need_v not_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v testify_v of_o 25._o man_n for_o he_o know_v what_o be_v in_o man_n but_o he_o have_v teach_v we_o to_o judge_v the_o tree_n by_o the_o fruit_n that_o be_v to_o know_v what_o be_v in_o man_n by_o his_o word_n and_o his_o deed_n second_o i_o answer_v that_o charity_n be_v not_o suspicious_a answer_n but_o yet_o charity_n work_v by_o ordinary_a mean_n and_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o mean_n &_o when_o one_o see_v a_o smoke_n he_o suspect_v present_o that_o there_o be_v fire_n but_o what_o say_v the_o lord_n can_v the_o 23._o black_a more_o change_v his_o skin_n and_o the_o leopard_n his_o spot_n they_o may_v you_o also_o do_v good_a that_o be_v accustom_v to_o do_v evil_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v impossible_a therefore_o if_o we_o see_v a_o man_n that_o have_v accustom_v to_o do_v evil_a or_o that_o be_v a_o common_a liar_n a_o common_a cozener_n and_o deceiver_n a_o common_a barriter_n a_o common_a beast_n etc._n etc._n charity_n be_v not_o suspicious_a but_o by_o the_o lord_n own_o rule_n we_o may_v doubt_v of_o his_o goodness_n and_o we_o may_v suspect_v his_o credit_n and_o his_o bonesty_n etc._n etc._n because_o he_o be_v accustom_v to_o do_v evil_a and_o because_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o all_o man_n be_v liar_n therefore_o there_o be_v cause_n of_o suspicion_n in_o all_o yea_o and_o in_o ourselves_o too_o three_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o rule_n of_o the_o apostle_n may_v be_v return_v upon_o themselves_o thus_o charity_n be_v not_o suspicious_a &_o love_n think_v no_o evil_a but_o judge_v and_o hope_v the_o best_a therefore_o if_o their_o brother_n answer_n shall_v require_v their_o word_n or_o bond_n in_o time_n of_o need_n and_o shall_v promise_v they_o that_o it_o shall_v no_o way_n be_v a_o hindrance_n unto_o they_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o deny_v they_o for_o fear_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v drive_v to_o answer_v the_o debt_n for_o if_o they_o think_v of_o their_o christian_a that_o he_o will_v either_o run_v away_o or_o suffer_v the_o matter_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o his_o friend_n than_o he_o judge_v evil_a and_o therefore_o uncharitable_o of_o his_o neighbour_n &_o do_v not_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o love_n judge_v the_o best_a &_o hope_v the_o best_a last_o of_o all_o to_o this_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v indeed_o such_o answer_n faithfulness_n such_o constancy_n and_o such_o upright_o and_o simple_a heart_a deal_v amongst_o man_n that_o every_o man_n word_n shall_v be_v as_o sure_a as_o his_o bond_n and_o the_o bond_n of_o surety_n with_o he_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o and_o therefore_o be_v bond_n and_o surety_n appoint_v there_o aught_o to_o be_v such_o trustiness_n in_o servant_n and_o child_n and_o in_o all_o comer_n and_o goer_n to_o man_n house_n that_o nothing_o shall_v need_v to_o stand_v under_o lock_n and_o key_n but_o there_o be_v not_o therefore_o lock_n and_o key_n be_v ordain_v there_o aught_o to_o be_v such_o peace_n &_o unity_n among_o man_n that_o there_o shall_v need_v no_o bear_n of_o weapon_n but_o there_o be_v not_o therefore_o weapon_n be_v ordain_v and_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v wall_v city_n strong_a hold_n and_o all_o provision_n of_o war_n appoint_v if_o there_o be_v no_o covet_v of_o other_o man_n good_n and_o hatred_n of_o other_o man_n person_n what_o need_v we_o have_v door_n and_o bar_n to_o our_o house_n if_o there_o be_v that_o peace_n and_o love_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v what_o need_v so_o many_o law_n and_o so_o many_o lawyer_n among_o man_n if_o adam_n have_v keep_v his_o first_o innocence_n and_o purity_n shame_n have_v not_o enter_v with_o his_o transgression_n and_o if_o shame_n have_v not_o come_v with_o sin_n he_o may_v still_o have_v be_v naked_a and_o never_o have_v blush_v at_o his_o nakedness_n but_o he_o do_v not_o keep_v his_o 3._o first_o innocence_n therefore_o shame_n come_v upon_o he_o and_o so_o apparel_n be_v ordain_v to_o cover_v his_o shame_n withal_o so_o that_o all_o these_o mean_n which_o be_v now_o appoint_v for_o man_n honesty_n for_o man_n safety_n and_o security_n what_o be_v they_o else_o but_o badge_n &_o token_n of_o man_n shame_n and_o dishonesty_n of_o deceit_n man_n cruelty_n &_o treachery_n so_o we_o see_v how_o sin_n and_o deceit_n bring_v in_o suertiship_n and_o suertiship_n be_v a_o badge_n of_o sin_n and_o deceit_n when_o man_n keep_v not_o touch_v with_o god_n god_n will_v never_o have_v have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v with_o he_o again_o neither_o will_v he_o trust_v he_o with_o any_o of_o his_o creature_n except_o his_o own_o son_n jesus_n christ_n have_v become_v surety_n for_o man_n and_o therefore_o when_o man_n become_v treacherous_a against_o god_n no_o marvel_n though_o they_o be_v so_o unfaithful_a &_o full_a of_o treachery_n one_o against_o a_o other_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o we_o shall_v be_v proud_a of_o our_o surety_n but_o rather_o take_v occasion_n thereby_o to_o bewail_v that_o horrible_a corruption_n of_o adam_n and_o all_o adam_n posterity_n the_o very_a name_n of_o a_o surety_n shall_v humble_v we_o howsoever_o the_o lord_n do_v in_o mercy_n incline_v man_n us._n heart_n unto_o man_n in_o a_o word_n as_o the_o thief_n have_v no_o cause_n to_o be_v proud_a of_o his_o prison_n and_o fetter_n so_o have_v no_o man_n cause_n to_o be_v proud_a of_o suertiship_n but_o yet_o that_o be_v lawful_a to_o be_v use_v which_o must_v also_o serve_v to_o humble_v we_o and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o suertiship_n the_o second_o sermon_n we_o have_v hear_v already_o what_o suertiship_n be_v how_o many_o sort_n of_o surety_n there_o be_v and_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o suertiship_n as_o also_o how_o self-love_n do_v play_v her_o part_n in_o those_o man_n which_o do_v bind_v themselves_o from_o so_o necessary_a and_o so_o christian_n a_o duty_n we_o will_v now_o consider_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o so_o many_o man_n be_v hinder_v by_o it_o yea_o and_o beggar_a by_o it_o as_o by_o daily_a experience_n we_o see_v in_o the_o world_n than_o we_o will_v see_v how_o man_n in_o ancient_a time_n become_v surety_n and_o last_o god_n counsel_n unto_o surety_n for_o their_o safety_n as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n of_o these_o three_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o the_o god_n of_o all_o wisdom_n and_o lord_n of_o mercy_n have_v not_o command_v any_o thing_n for_o the_o undo_n and_o destroy_v of_o man_n but_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v ordain_v be_v for_o the_o singular_a benefit_n and_o comfort_n of_o man_n but_o such_o be_v our_o corruption_n that_o we_o abuse_v all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o our_o most_o gracious_a god_n to_o our_o own_o hindrance_n and_o destruction_n meat_n and_o drink_n be_v appoint_v

noble_a act_n of_o god_n the_o wonderful_a deliverance_n of_o god_n people_n and_o the_o horrible_a confusion_n of_o wicked_a man_n let_v he_o hearken_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o will_v know_v thy_o maker_n thy_o redeemer_n thy_o sanctifier_n if_o thou_o will_v know_v the_o vanity_n the_o misery_n and_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o world_n with_o the_o subtlety_n &_o sleight_n of_o satan_n if_o thou_o will_v know_v the_o happiness_n the_o joy_n and_o felicity_n of_o heaven_n and_o find_v the_o way_n thither_o if_o thou_o will_v know_v the_o pain_n &_o torment_n of_o hell_n and_o how_o to_o escape_v they_o inquire_v of_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o they_o will_v tell_v thou_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v for_o one_o thing_n over-taketh_a another_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o confusion_n will_v overwhelm_v we_o before_o we_o can_v tell_v what_o riches_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o storehouse_n of_o god_n book_n for_o who_o can_v sound_v the_o depth_n of_o a_o bottomless_a sea_n but_o in_o a_o word_n if_o a_o man_n desire_v to_o know_v himself_o thorough_o within_o and_o without_o in_o all_o his_o affair_n between_o god_n and_o man_n let_v he_o behold_v himself_o in_o the_o glass_n of_o god_n book_n and_o when_o we_o have_v so_o do_v we_o will_v say_v as_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n say_v when_o she_o have_v reason_v with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v hold_v one_o that_o have_v tell_v i_o all_o that_o ever_o i_o do_v and_o more_o 4._o even_o all_o that_o ever_o i_o shall_v do_v therefore_o let_v no_o man_n marvel_v what_o we_o mean_v be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o speak_v of_o such_o and_o such_o matter_n or_o to_o meddle_v in_o the_o business_n and_o deal_n of_o man_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v take_v order_n for_o all_o our_o affair_n neither_o wonder_n who_o tell_v tale_n of_o thou_o as_o the_o king_n of_o aram_n do_v for_o the_o word_n do_v rifle_v the_o hide_a corner_n of_o the_o heart_n but_o how_o be_v our_o adversary_n the_o papist_n deceive_v which_o hold_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v not_o contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o elect_a but_o o_o lord_n what_o spirit_n of_o atheism_n and_o blasphemy_n do_v possess_v those_o man_n which_o dare_v compare_v plime_n philosophy_n with_o the_o book_n of_o moses_n aristotle_n ethic_n and_o politic_n with_o the_o proverbe_n of_o solomon_n marcus_n aurelius_n with_o mark_n the_o evangelist_n marlins_n prophecy_n with_o the_o prophecy_n of_o esay_n and_o the_o rest_n the_o eloquence_n of_o cicero_n or_o demostenes_n with_o the_o eloquence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n or_o any_o doctor_n or_o father_n before_o the_o doctor_n and_o father_n of_o the_o bible_n for_o what_o be_v lead_v to_o gold_n what_o be_v water_n to_o wine_n what_o be_v ignorance_n to_o learning_n what_o be_v darkness_n to_o light_n what_o be_v the_o chaff_n to_o the_o wheat_n what_o be_v falsehood_n to_o truth_n what_o be_v earth_n to_o heaven_n &_o what_o comparison_n can_v there_o be_v between_o god_n and_o man_n and_o so_o much_o for_o that_o point_n second_o we_o may_v learn_v here_o that_o except_o god_n do_v teach_v we_o &_o direct_v we_o as_o it_o be_v by_o line_n &_o by_o level_a by_o precept_n upon_o precept_n by_o little_a and_o by_o little_a as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v we_o know_v not_o how_o to_o order_v right_o our_o common_a business_n and_o daily_a affair_n of_o this_o life_n but_o we_o be_v snare_v and_o entangle_v with_o our_o own_o do_v word_n or_o overtake_v one_o way_n or_o other_o to_o our_o own_o hindrance_n so_o foolish_a &_o ignorant_a be_v man_n by_o nature_n and_o again_o when_o we_o be_v snare_v and_o bring_v into_o danger_n we_o know_v not_o how_o to_o help_v ourselves_o except_o the_o lord_n do_v teach_v we_o but_o if_o he_o shall_v let_v we_o alone_o to_o shift_v for_o ourselves_o we_o will_v never_o leave_v until_o we_o have_v wrap_v ourselves_o in_o ten_o time_n more_o danger_n they_o we_o be_v in_o before_o adam_n have_v transgress_v will_v think_v to_o hide_v 3._o himself_o from_o god_n in_o the_o tree_n of_o the_o garden_n &_o to_o cover_v his_o nakedness_n with_o fig_n leave_v his_o fault_n he_o will_v excuse_v by_o the_o fault_n of_o another_o and_o rather_o than_o fail_v he_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o lay_v it_o upon_o god_n himself_o so_o foolish_a be_v adam_n and_o so_o be_v all_o his_o posterity_n cain_n will_v incur_v the_o vengeance_n 4._o of_o god_n by_o kill_v of_o his_o brother_n &_o when_o he_o have_v do_v he_o think_v to_o save_v himself_o by_o outface_v of_o the_o matter_n but_o it_o will_v not_o be_v and_o so_o do_v all_o cain_n brood_n saul_n will_v disobey_v god_n commandment_n 15._o like_o a_o hypocrite_n and_o then_o like_o a_o fool_n he_o will_v say_v he_o mean_v no_o harm_n he_o do_v it_o of_o a_o good_a intent_n and_o such_o fool_n be_v we_o all_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v become_v like_o foolish_a mariner_n which_o will_v run_v upon_o the_o rock_n to_o avoid_v the_o sand_n we_o be_v become_v like_o sisera_n who_o fly_v for_o his_o life_n 21._o will_v run_v into_o jaells_n tent_n for_o succour_n where_o the_o nail_n and_o the_o hammer_n be_v prepare_v for_o his_o head_n and_o when_o he_o think_v to_o take_v up_o his_o rest_n and_o sleep_v most_o sound_o than_o be_v he_o near_a his_o destruction_n we_o be_v like_o child_n and_o sick_a folk_n which_o do_v desire_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o those_o thing_n which_o may_v hurt_v they_o we_o be_v become_v like_o the_o philistine_n which_o be_v most_o merry_a when_o the_o house_n be_v ready_a 25._o to_o fall_v upon_o their_o head_n we_o be_v secure_a like_o the_o man_n of_o laish_n which_o mistrust_v nothing_o until_o the_o child_n of_o dan_n do_v 27._o smite_v they_o with_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o sword_n and_o burn_v their_o city_n with_o fire_n now_o if_o we_o be_v so_o foolish_a for_o this_o life_n how_o foolish_a be_v we_o for_o the_o life_n to_o come_v we_o see_v that_o except_o our_o heavenly_a father_n do_v direct_v we_o by_o his_o counsel_n as_o he_o lead_v israel_n by_o the_o cloud_n and_o warn_v we_o by_o his_o messenger_n as_o he_o warn_v the_o wiseman_n by_o his_o angel_n we_o know_v not_o how_o to_o order_v our_o common_a business_n &_o the_o

to_o deceive_v his_o own_o soul_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o 2._o point_n three_o we_o may_v learn_v here_o that_o almighty_a god_n do_v not_o leave_v his_o child_n themselves_o to_o themselves_o but_o consider_v how_o simple_a they_o be_v by_o nature_n he_o do_v take_v pain_n to_o teach_v they_o how_o and_o which_o way_n to_o help_v themselves_o in_o every_o action_n and_o for_o this_o
