our_o brow_n gen._n 3._o 19_o neither_o ought_v we_o to_o spend_v 19_o gen._n 3._o 19_o these_o gift_n of_o god_n for_o the_o satisfy_n of_o our_o own_o sinful_a lust_n see_v they_o be_v his_o talent_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o to_o employ_v for_o the_o advance_v of_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o the_o good_a of_o our_o fellow_n servant_n the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v be_v that_o howsoever_o these_o god_n man_n respect_v their_o own_o cause_n more_o then_o god_n priest_n do_v easy_o remit_v god_n right_a so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o do_v not_o concern_v their_o own_o worldly_a profit_n and_o be_v so_o meal_n mouth_v that_o they_o dare_v not_o speak_v against_o the_o people_n sin_n whereby_o his_o holy_a name_n be_v dishonour_v yet_o they_o will_v loose_v none_o of_o their_o own_o right_n in_o their_o sacrifice_n and_o oblation_n whence_o we_o may_v discern_v a_o notable_a corruption_n that_o be_v in_o we_o which_o be_v our_o singular_a partiality_n in_o respect_v our_o own_o cause_n more_o than_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n for_o when_o the_o matter_n concern_v he_o we_o be_v very_o remiss_a cold_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v entreat_v but_o when_o it_o concern_v ourselves_o very_o earnest_a hot_a and_o inexorable_a for_o example_n the_o magistrate_n make_v law_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o his_o own_o right_n state_n and_o dignity_n and_o be_v make_v do_v most_o straight_o execute_v they_o but_o either_o he_o make_v no_o law_n at_o all_o to_o repress_v those_o sin_n which_o immediate_o impeach_v god_n glory_n or_o if_o their_o be_v any_o make_v yet_o he_o be_v very_o remiss_a in_o the_o execution_n many_o minister_n be_v very_o slack_a and_o timorous_a in_o rebuke_v of_o sin_n for_o fear_v of_o displease_v their_o parishioner_n but_o if_o any_o part_n of_o their_o own_o right_a or_o duty_n be_v withhold_v from_o they_o they_o show_v themselves_o bold_a and_o resolute_a for_o the_o recovery_n of_o it_o though_o it_o be_v with_o the_o displeasure_n of_o the_o great_a many_o master_n suffer_v their_o servant_n to_o use_v swear_v and_o blasphemy_n pretend_v they_o be_v so_o unruly_a that_o they_o can_v bear_v no_o sway_n with_o they_o neither_o with_o their_o persuasion_n nor_o rebuke_n but_o if_o they_o offer_v unto_o they_o any_o wrong_n or_o damage_n than_o they_o show_v themselves_o man_n of_o absolute_a authority_n in_o inflict_v upon_o the_o offender_n sharp_a punishment_n so_o they_o can_v easy_o dispense_v with_o their_o servant_n for_o the_o break_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o pass_v over_o the_o matter_n from_o themselves_o by_o pretend_v that_o they_o will_v willing_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o church_n and_o have_v they_o to_o observe_v a_o holy_a rest_n but_o they_o be_v so_o stubborn_a and_o wilful_a that_o they_o can_v restrain_v they_o from_o their_o vain_a and_o unlawful_a sport_n and_o yet_o these_o man_n who_o can_v bear_v no_o rule_n with_o their_o servant_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n have_v authority_n and_o also_o use_v it_o all_o the_o six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o these_o unlawful_a pastime_n and_o to_o make_v they_o to_o follow_v their_o worldly_a business_n and_o where_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o great_a difference_n sure_o not_o in_o the_o servant_n who_o may_v as_o easy_o be_v bring_v to_o sit_v in_o the_o church_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o to_o work_v painful_o in_o his_o trade_n all_o the_o week_n but_o the_o fault_n lie_v upon_o the_o master_n who_o be_v so_o earnest_o resolute_a for_o the_o dispatch_n of_o his_o own_o business_n that_o he_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o denial_n or_o excuse_n whereas_o contrariwise_o either_o he_o careless_o permit_v his_o servant_n when_o the_o lord_n day_n come_v to_o do_v what_o they_o lift_v or_o deal_v so_o cold_o and_o remissly_a on_o god_n behalf_n as_o if_o though_o he_o do_v speak_v he_o do_v not_o great_o care_v whether_o his_o speech_n be_v regard_v or_o no_o so_o when_o man_n see_v god_n name_n dishonour_v by_o any_o sin_n they_o be_v so_o bashful_a and_o timorous_a that_o they_o be_v hardly_o move_v to_o speak_v in_o god_n cause_n but_o if_o their_o own_o name_n be_v traduce_v and_o their_o credit_n impeach_v in_o any_o company_n they_o show_v themselves_o furious_o violent_a in_o remove_v the_o imputation_n the_o cause_n hereof_o be_v our_o coldness_n in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o our_o too_o much_o self_n love_n which_o make_v man_n think_v all_o too_o much_o which_o they_o do_v for_o god_n sake_n and_o all_o too_o little_a which_o they_o can_v do_v for_o themselves_o for_o if_o there_o be_v not_o this_o exceed_a partiality_n in_o our_o affection_n we_o will_v never_o show_v ourselves_o so_o partial_a in_o our_o action_n the_o use_n hereof_o be_v that_o see_v our_o corruption_n we_o labour_v to_o reform_v it_o and_o to_o this_o end_n we_o must_v continual_o endeavour_v to_o abate_v the_o inordinate_a love_n of_o ourselves_o and_o to_o increase_v in_o our_o heart_n that_o heavenly_a love_n of_o god_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o grow_v more_o mild_a and_o moderate_a in_o our_o own_o cause_n and_o more_o fervent_o zealous_a in_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o moses_n who_o in_o matter_n which_o concern_v himself_o be_v 1._o num._n 12._o 1._o the_o meek_a man_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o be_v easy_o

greedy_a covetousness_n and_o unlawful_a avarice_n whereby_o they_o desire_v to_o enrich_v themselves_o even_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n that_o so_o they_o may_v maintain_v their_o wasteful_a and_o profuse_a expense_n about_o their_o pleasure_n and_o belly-cheer_n and_o indeed_o fit_o be_v these_o join_v together_o in_o the_o reproof_n see_v they_o be_v seldom_o sever_v in_o the_o offender_n for_o idleness_n and_o luxurious_a excess_n be_v the_o mother_n which_o breed_v and_o bring_v forth_o unlawful_a covetousness_n and_o this_o wicked_a avarice_n be_v the_o nurse_n of_o this_o excess_n and_o idleness_n when_o as_o man_n addict_v themselves_o unto_o idleness_n neglect_v the_o duty_n of_o their_o calling_n and_o yet_o will_v maintain_v their_o port_n above_o their_o pitch_n and_o wasteful_o spend_v in_o pride_n pleasure_n and_o belly-cheer_n above_o their_o mean_n then_o must_v they_o of_o necessity_n fall_v to_o plot_v and_o devise_v how_o they_o may_v have_v extraordinary_a supply_n by_o wicked_a and_o unlawful_a mean_n when_o as_o those_o which_o be_v honest_a and_o approvable_a fail_v they_o then_o they_o begin_v to_o covet_v other_o man_n good_n and_o to_o plot_n mean_v how_o they_o may_v compass_v they_o then_o they_o fall_v to_o steal_v purloin_v bribe_v oppress_a cozen_a deceive_a and_o what_o not_o that_o they_o may_v enrich_v themselves_o &_o
