peace_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o society_n to_o which_o we_o be_v relate_v that_o this_o description_n may_v be_v better_o understand_v i_o will_v take_v it_o in_o piece_n and_o brief_o paraphrase_n on_o the_o several_a part_n of_o it_o 1._o this_o moderation_n consider_v as_o a_o grace_n or_o inward_a habit_n be_v that_o frame_n or_o temper_n of_o spirit_n which_o result_v from_o all_o those_o particular_a virtue_n which_o moderate_a and_o contain_v our_o passion_n in_o our_o converse_v and_o deal_n one_o with_o another_o it_o be_v such_o a_o government_n of_o our_o spirit_n as_o can_v conduct_v our_o desultory_a passion_n with_o prudence_n check_v their_o transport_n with_o modesty_n submit_v their_o pride_n with_o humility_n as_o can_v soften_v they_o with_o meekness_n sweeten_v they_o with_o kindness_n strengthen_v they_o with_o patience_n and_o restrain_v they_o with_o forbearance_n so_o that_o our_o passion_n shall_v at_o no_o time_n render_v we_o averse_a to_o any_o of_o our_o relative_a duty_n or_o prone_a to_o quarrel_v and_o contend_v with_o other_o or_o difficult_a to_o be_v appease_v and_o reconcile_v whatever_o discouragement_n or_o provocation_n we_o may_v meet_v with_o such_o a_o temper_n shall_v be_v in_o all_o christian_n who_o be_v so_o earnest_o exhort_v to_o put_v on_o bowel_n of_o mercy_n kindness_n humbleness_n of_o mind_n 13._o gol._n 3.12_o 13._o meekness_n long-suffering_a forbear_v and_o forgive_a one_o another_o if_o any_o man_n have_v a_o quarrel_n against_o any_o i_o can_v not_o forbear_v add_v the_o epithet_n of_o excellent_a to_o such_o a_o frame_n and_o temper_n of_o spirit_n which_o be_v so_o eminent_a a_o perfection_n of_o our_o nature_n whereby_o we_o be_v remove_v far_a from_o the_o freity_n of_o bruit_n into_o the_o near_a resemblance_n of_o god_n himself_o 2._o this_o moderation_n consider_v as_o a_o duty_n consist_v fist_n in_o a_o practice_n suitable_a to_o such_o a_o excellent_a temper_n in_o concede_v and_o condescend_v one_o to_o another_o when_o necessary_a to_o preserve_v or_o restore_v peace_n and_o amity_n among_o those_o who_o be_v relate_v together_o in_o the_o same_o society_n so_o great_a be_v the_o general_a ignorance_n and_o weakness_n of_o mankind_n that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o we_o to_o converse_v together_o in_o society_n without_o justle_a and_o disturb_v one_o another_o except_o we_o can_v sometime_o give_v way_n and_o condescend_v one_o to_o another_o and_o herein_o consist_v our_o duty_n of_o moderation_n so_o to_o govern_v our_o behaviour_n as_o for_o peace-sake_n to_o yield_v and_o submit_v sometime_o although_o we_o think_v ourselves_o to_o be_v in_o the_o right_a and_o to_o comply_v sometime_o with_o our_o brethren_n who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o discern_v that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_n not_o by_o run_v into_o the_o same_o mistake_n but_o by_o bear_v with_o they_o and_o condescend_v to_o they_o till_o they_o can_v be_v recover_v out_o of_o it_o so_o much_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o those_o divine_a precept_n 5.5_o 5_o eph._n 21._o 1_o pet._n 5.5_o which_o require_v we_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o one_o to_o another_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n to_o be_v subject_a one_o to_o another_o and_o clothe_v with_o humility_n and_o no_o less_o do_v st._n paul_n practice_n who_o himself_o tell_v we_o though_o i_o be_v free_a from_o all_o man_n 9.19_o 1_o cor._n 9.19_o yet_o have_v i_o make_v myself_o servant_n unto_o all_o and_o as_o he_o afterward_o add_v he_o become_v all_o thing_n to_o all_o man_n in_o such_o a_o compliant_a condescension_n 3._o to_o prevent_v any_o mistake_n i_o add_v that_o this_o moderation_n will_v dispose_v we_o to_o condescend_v and_o comply_v with_o other_o only_o in_o such_o case_n and_o so_o far_o as_o god_n have_v leave_v we_o at_o liberty_n to_o do_v so_o for_o if_o any_o case_n of_o difference_n arise_v about_o the_o necessary_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n which_o god_n have_v plain_o reveal_v or_o about_o the_o substantial_a part_n of_o our_o religious_a worship_n or_o the_o moral_a duty_n of_o a_o holy_a life_n which_o god_n have_v indispensable_o require_v such_o case_n be_v not_o to_o be_v compromise_v by_o the_o condescension_n of_o compliance_n of_o moderation_n we_o have_v here_o no_o right_a to_o yield_v no_o place_n to_o give_v we_o be_v command_v to_o contend_v earnest_o for_o these_o thing_n and_o to_o prefer_v they_o to_o peace_n or_o life_n itself_o in_o these_o case_n zeal_n be_v lawful_a and_o commendable_a and_o a_o compliance_n with_o man_n will_v be_v the_o base_a treachery_n to_o our_o lord_n in_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o moses_n lay_v aside_o his_o meekness_n when_o he_o contend_v with_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n against_o their_o idolatry_n and_o so_o do_v our_o apostle_n this_o moderation_n when_o he_o sharp_o rebuke_v st._n peter_n to_o his_o face_n for_o subvert_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o gentile_n by_o his_o judaize_v compliance_n but_o there_o be_v many_o other_o case_n of_o difference_n that_o may_v happen_v among_o we_o which_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n have_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o determine_v by_o any_o necessary_a injunction_n wherein_o he_o have_v leave_v we_o at_o liberty_n to_o yield_v and_o comply_v one_o with_o another_o and_o where_o we_o may_v we_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a reason_n for_o which_o our_o great_a lord_n have_v leave_v such_o case_n undetermined_a that_o we_o may_v never_o want_v a_o sufficient_a occasion_n for_o exercise_v and_o approve_v this_o excellent_a grace_n of_o moderation_n 4._o the_o end_n for_o which_o this_o moderation_n serve_v and_o shall_v be_v practise_v by_o we_o be_v the_o peace_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o society_n to_o which_o we_o be_v relate_v to_o this_o end_n moderation_n be_v necessary_a to_o ward_v off_o or_o heal_v up_o those_o wound_n in_o the_o body_n which_o will_v be_v make_v and_o widen_v by_o the_o angry_a quarrel_n of_o its_o member_n and_o to_o cherish_v that_o peace_n on_o which_o the_o public_a safety_n and_o prosperity_n do_v chief_o depend_v and_o from_o this_o end_n we_o may_v infer_v both_o the_o reason_n and_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o duty_n we_o ought_v to_o deny_v ourselves_o in_o comply_v with_o other_o when_o necessary_a for_o the_o public_a good_a because_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o who_o shall_v be_v always_o prefer_v to_o the_o private_a interest_n of_o any_o part_n and_o as_o we_o need_v not_o thus_o yield_v and_o condescend_v to_o other_o when_o there_o be_v no_o such_o end_n to_o be_v serve_v by_o it_o so_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o in_o such_o case_n and_o so_o far_o as_o be_v necessary_a to_o maintain_v the_o peace_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o society_n to_o which_o we_o belong_v this_o excellent_a temper_n of_o spirit_n will_v indeed_o serve_v to_o many_o other_o good_a purpose_n but_o the_o name_n of_o moderation_n belong_v to_o it_o chief_o as_o it_o respect_v the_o public_a good_a and_o though_o we_o may_v sometime_o commendable_o comply_v with_o other_o either_o out_o of_o prudence_n respect_v our_o own_o private_a interest_n or_o out_o of_o charity_n respect_v the_o private_a interest_n of_o other_o yet_o we_o do_v it_o proper_o from_o this_o principle_n of_o moderation_n when_o we_o respect_v the_o public_a good_a and_o i_o may_v add_v as_o a_o just_a consequence_n from_o thence_o that_o whatever_o compliance_n we_o make_v with_o other_o which_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o common-weal_n they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v call_v moderation_n but_o faction_n and_o conspiracy_n 2._o have_v discover_v wherein_o the_o general_a nature_n of_o this_o moderation_n consist_v let_v we_o descend_v to_o those_o particular_a case_n wherein_o it_o shall_v be_v know_v or_o manifest_v in_o our_o constant_a exercise_n and_o exemplary_a practice_n of_o it_o these_o be_v all_o such_o case_n of_o difference_n as_o may_v happen_v in_o our_o civil_a or_o sacred_a society_n which_o god_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o leave_v undetermined_a which_o though_o numerous_a and_o various_a may_v be_v reduce_v to_o these_o four_o head_n of_o opinion_n practice_n interest_n and_o censure_n 1._o we_o shall_v use_v this_o moderation_n in_o assert_v our_o own_o opinion_n or_o in_o oppose_v the_o opinion_n of_o other_o they_o who_o be_v of_o this_o excellent_a temper_n will_v be_v too_o modest_a to_o admire_v themselves_o or_o impose_v on_o other_o they_o will_v not_o disturb_v the_o world_n with_o a_o unnecessary_a paradox_n nor_o urge_v their_o opinion_n with_o a_o importunity_n that_o exceed_v their_o importance_n nor_o require_v a_o entertainment_n for_o they_o beyond_o the_o evidence_n with_o which_o they_o can_v recommend_v they_o whereby_o much_o of_o the_o noise_n and_o fury_n of_o our_o contention_n will_v be_v prevent_v and_o if_o this_o christian_a temper_n do_v moderate_a in_o our_o disputation_n we_o shall_v
