have_v any_o friend_n to_o stand_v up_o for_o he_o and_o above_o all_o this_o what_o if_o he_o be_v like_a to_o have_v no_o outward_a mean_n to_o subsist_v by_o any_o more_o or_o favourable_a patroness_n to_o bear_v he_o out_o in_o his_o innocent_a and_o harmless_a endeavour_n what_o i_o say_v if_o all_o these_o thing_n shall_v concur_v together_o as_o now_o in_o this_o case_n they_o seem_v in_o some_o sort_n to_o grow_v unto_o this_o height_n and_o in_o all_o humane_a appearance_n will_v fall_v hereafter_o more_o heavy_o upon_o these_o proceed_n chief_o if_o the_o agent_n thereof_o continue_v thus_o to_o walk_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o cloud_n and_o to_o follow_v his_o own_o indifferent_a and_o independent_a way_n to_o prosecure_v these_o intention_n further_o to_o a_o full_a period_n i_o say_v again_o what_o if_o all_o these_o difficulty_n come_v at_o once_o upon_o he_o what_o must_v he_o do_v shall_v he_o not_o give_v over_o what_o warrant_n have_v he_o to_o proceed_v or_o hope_v to_o conquer_v these_o difficulty_n here_o i_o confess_v that_o when_o i_o confider_v my_o present_a estate_n i_o have_v scarce_o nothing_o to_o support_v my_o spirit_n but_o a_o clear_a testimony_n of_o my_o conscience_n which_o bear_v witness_n unto_o i_o that_o i_o be_o come_v to_o this_o work_n neither_o through_o presumption_n of_o any_o sufficiency_n in_o myself_o as_o if_o i_o can_v effect_v such_o a_o work_n nor_o for_o any_o singularity_n and_o new-fangled_a fancy_n nor_o for_o any_o worldly_a end_n private_a respect_n or_o hope_n towards_o man_n but_o mere_o by_o a_o simple_a honest_a meaning_n to_o make_v once_o a_o trial_n what_o good_a may_v be_v do_v by_o this_o way_n of_o unpartial_a solicitation_n for_o counsel_n of_o peace_n in_o this_o business_n which_o be_v every_o way_n so_o lawful_a in_o itself_o so_o laudable_a before_o god_n and_o so_o requisite_a in_o these_o time_n for_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o gospel_n neither_o do_v i_o want_v a_o sufficient_a express_a lawful_a and_o particular_a calling_n to_o undertake_v that_o which_o at_o first_o i_o do_v undertake_v neither_o do_v i_o yet_o want_v a_o call_n and_o warrant_n to_o go_v about_o that_o which_o now_o i_o aim_v at_o but_o i_o find_v rather_o that_o my_o call_n be_v at_o first_o lawful_a have_v since_o continual_o increase_v upon_o i_o till_o now_o it_o be_v come_v to_o this_o height_n that_o although_o i_o find_v myself_o environ_v with_o many_o strait_n and_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o generality_n of_o my_o way_n like_a to_o be_v desert_v of_o every_o body_n yet_o i_o can_v possible_o without_o wound_v extreme_o my_o conscience_n in_o break_v a_o most_o solemn_a vow_n make_v with_o due_a preparation_n religious_o unto_o almighty_a god_n go_v back_o from_o this_o intention_n thus_o than_o it_o be_v with_o i_o i_o be_o inward_o without_o fear_n and_o though_o outward_o i_o see_v no_o help_n nor_o likelihood_n of_o great_a assistance_n from_o man_n but_o rather_o on_o all_o side_n difficulty_n &_o want_n of_o all_o comfort_n yet_o i_o can_v be_v without_o hope_n of_o a_o good_a issue_n so_o that_o i_o may_v real_o say_v in_o this_o case_n without_o comparison_n nevertheless_o to_o he_o that_o say_v it_o once_o before_o i_o o_o lord_n thou_o have_v deceive_v i_o &_o i_o be_o deceive_v 9_o jerem._n 20._o 7_o 8_o 9_o thou_o be_v strong_a than_o i_o and_o thou_o have_v prevail_v i_o be_o in_o derision_n daily_o every_o one_o mock_v i_o for_o since_o i_o speak_v i_o cry_v out_o of_o wrong_n and_o proclaim_v desolation_n therefore_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v make_v a_o reproach_n unto_o i_o and_o i_o be_o in_o derision_n daily_o then_o i_o say_v i_o will_v not_o make_v mention_n of_o he_o nor_o speak_v any_o more_o in_o his_o name_n but_o his_o word_n be_v in_o my_o heart_n as_o a_o burn_a fire_n shut_v up_o in_o my_o bone_n and_o i_o be_v weary_a with_o forbear_v and_o i_o can_v not_o stay_v for_o i_o hear_v the_o rail_n of_o many_o and_o fear_v on_o every_o side_n for_o thus_o indeed_o it_o be_v with_o i_o i_o can_v perceive_v nothing_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o most_o man_n but_o rail_n discontent_n clamour_n and_o fear_n to_o remedy_v these_o evil_n in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n within_o the_o compass_n of_o my_o own_o call_n among_o ecclesiastical_a person_n i_o be_o insensible_o draw_v on_o so_o far_o and_o so_o deep_o engage_v in_o this_o work_n that_o i_o can_v now_o go_v backward_o any_o more_o but_o whatsoever_o may_v become_v of_o i_o or_o befall_v unto_o i_o i_o be_o once_o for_o all_o resolve_v to_o undergo_v it_o therefore_o i_o find_v a_o easy_a remedy_n to_o all_o these_o difficulty_n which_o be_v this_o that_o see_v i_o be_o call_v lawful_o to_o this_o negotiation_n and_o that_o i_o trust_v not_o to_o myself_o but_o unto_o god_n who_o be_v able_a to_o do_v with_o i_o above_o all_o that_o i_o can_v think_v or_o hope_v therefore_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o live_v no_o more_o in_o this_o work_n unto_o myself_o but_o unto_o he_o that_o have_v set_v i_o upon_o it_o and_o who_o i_o only_o respect_v in_o it_o and_o if_o i_o can_v but_o keep_v and_o follow_v this_o resolution_n i_o know_v that_o for_o trust_v to_o he_o and_o labour_v to_o do_v good_a to_o all_o as_o yet_o never_o man_n be_v so_o i_o shall_v never_o be_v ashamed_a the_o difficulty_n incident_a in_o regard_n of_o those_o with_o who_o the_o work_n must_v be_v prosecute_v arise_v from_o their_o multitude_n and_o from_o their_o different_a and_o strange_a disposition_n first_o then_o it_o be_v a_o difficult_a thing_n to_o deal_v both_o with_o church_n and_o statesman_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o work_n and_o yet_o more_o difficult_a to_o deal_v with_o many_o of_o both_o sort_n in_o so_o many_o church_n and_o state_n as_o this_o business_n may_v concern_v i_o answer_v true_a it_o be_v difficult_a to_o do_v this_o yet_o not_o impossible_a for_o by_o diligence_n by_o constancy_n by_o good_a address_n and_o unpartial_a deal_n with_o choice_n and_o lead_a man_n of_o every_o sort_n and_o in_o every_o church_n this_o difficulty_n may_v be_v overcome_v for_o it_o be_v not_o convenient_a that_o all_o shall_v be_v promiscuous_o deal_v withal_o and_o in_o particular_a but_o two_o or_o three_o in_o every_o church_n be_v pick_v out_o will_v be_v sufficient_a at_o first_o till_o matter_n grow_v ripe_a and_o then_o to_o compendiate_v the_o work_n occasion_n of_o public_a meeting_n may_v be_v take_v hold_v of_o to_o acquaint_v the_o multitude_n with_o generality_n fit_a for_o their_o knowledge_n from_o which_o afterward_o reference_n must_v be_v obtain_v to_o some_o few_o again_o that_o in_o weighty_a matter_n necessary_a particular_n may_v be_v distinct_o scan_v which_o in_o a_o great_a multitude_n can_v be_v do_v at_o all_o or_o not_o without_o great_a confusion_n the_o second_o difficulty_n be_v that_o many_o man_n will_v have_v many_o mind_n many_o particular_a opinion_n many_o different_a aim_n and_o prejudices_fw-la so_o that_o it_o will_v hardly_o be_v possible_a to_o fit_v any_o one_o course_n or_o purpose_n any_o one_o counsel_n that_o will_v please_v they_o all_o and_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v either_o labour_n lose_v or_o else_o a_o occasion_n of_o more_o strife_n and_o division_n to_o put_v they_o all_o upon_o one_o subject_n of_o meditation_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a if_o they_o shall_v all_o at_o once_o be_v put_v upon_o the_o business_n without_o due_a preparation_n these_o effect_n will_v needs_o follow_v but_o now_o they_o be_v deal_v withal_o several_o and_o in_o some_o good_a order_n also_o fit_a preparation_n be_v to_o be_v use_v towards_o every_o one_o for_o if_o nothing_o be_v offensive_o object_v indiscreet_o prescribe_v &_o urge_v upon_o any_o of_o they_o but_o only_a occasion_n give_v to_o every_o one_o by_o way_n of_o fit_a insinuation_n of_o undeniable_a principle_n to_o do_v his_o duty_n and_o in_o discharge_v his_o conscience_n to_o give_v some_o good_a counsel_n towards_o the_o scope_n of_o peace_n answerable_o and_o proportional_o unto_o the_o foreconceived_a principle_n than_o there_o can_v no_o such_o inconvenience_n arise_v but_o rather_o from_o many_o different_a opinion_n when_o all_o be_v tend_v to_o one_o scope_n and_o rise_v from_o the_o same_o general_a ground_n the_o common_a course_n unto_o which_o all_o do_v agree_v or_o the_o safe_a way_n which_o will_v displease_v none_o may_v be_v gather_v and_o afterward_o propose_v to_o be_v ratify_v by_o common_a consent_n the_o three_o difficulty_n be_v that_o see_v not_o only_o the_o lutheran_n and_o reform_a church_n differ_v one_o from_o another_o but_o also_o in_o each_o of_o those_o again_o be_v find_v many_o subdivision_n
