and_o delude_v thou_o again_o in_o be_v disobedient_a thou_o be_v a_o thief_n a_o impudent_a thief_n for_o thou_o do_v not_o only_o secret_o steal_v but_o open_o detain_v the_o honour_n reverence_n and_o obedient_a duty_n which_o all_o the_o world_n can_v witness_v be_v thy_o father_n and_o how_o will_v thou_o avoid_v be_v a_o false_a witness_n will_v not_o one_o sin_n draw_v on_o another_o will_v not_o thou_o be_v ready_a to_o excuse_v thy_o unnatural_a obstinacy_n by_o throw_v calumnious_a aspersion_n on_o thy_o parent_n give_v thy_o tongue_n leave_v to_o lie_v against_o thy_o

parent_n i_o be_o sure_a thou_o have_v a_o father_n who_o will_v never_o command_v thou_o any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n therefore_o i_o have_v no_o need_n to_o speak_v to_o thou_o how_o far_o a_o father_n ought_v to_o be_v obey_v but_o humble_o desire_v of_o god_n to_o continue_v he_o in_o his_o good_a desire_n with_o long_a life_n that_o he_o may_v bring_v thou_o up_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o give_v thou_o a_o heart_n ready_a to_o embrace_v all_o religious_a learning_n 13_o the_o next_o duty_n equal_a to_o this_o thou_o must_v perform_v to_o all_o the_o world_n in_o general_a do_v to_o all_o man_n as_o thou_o will_v they_o shall_v do_v unto_o thou_o this_o be_v the_o commandment_n our_o saviour_n give_v we_o love_v one_o another_o by_o this_o we_o shall_v be_v know_v to_o be_v his_o if_o we_o love_v one_o another_o as_o he_o have_v love_v us._n yet_o of_o all_o that_o be_v command_v we_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o contrary_a to_o our_o wicked_a nature_n than_o this_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o we_o can_v with_o ease_n envy_v he_o if_o he_o be_v rich_a or_o scorn_v he_o if_o he_o be_v poor_a but_o love_v

that_o strife_n and_o contention_n proceed_v of_o the_o devil_n then_o if_o thou_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n do_v the_o work_n of_o god_n love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o he_o have_v command_v lest_o

as_o none_o of_o he_o because_o thou_o do_v not_o love_v those_o that_o be_v he_o this_o if_o well_o weigh_v be_v enough_o to_o make_v every_o man_n charitable_a if_o it_o be_v only_o for_o fear_n to_o hate_v who_o god_n love_v but_o to_o believe_v or_o judge_v that_o god_n shall_v hate_v where_o thou_o do_v be_v such_o a_o impious_a uncharitableness_n as_o a_o good_a christian_a must_v needs_o

to_o the_o gripe_a usurer_n the_o devil_n for_o pleasure_n haply_o he_o mean_v one_o day_n to_o redeem_v it_o but_o run_v on_o his_o self-pleasing_a course_n till_o the_o use_n have_v devour_v the_o

infinite_a happiness_n these_o be_v strange_a enough_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v sell_v eternity_n of_o joy_n for_o wealth_n or_o sleep_v away_o the_o time_n wherein_o he_o may_v make_v such_o a_o purchase_n or_o pawn_v a_o inestimable_a treasure_n for_o thing_n not_o worth_a esteem_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v all_o better_a than_o he_o that_o give_v away_o his_o soul_n for_o nothing_o as_o do_v the_o envious_a man_n the_o covetous_a get_v riches_n the_o slothful_a ease_n the_o wanton_a pleasure_n but_o this_o hater_n of_o his_o brother_n get_v nothing_o no_o not_o in_o present_a but_o

can_v we_o be_v so_o cruel_a to_o ourselves_o as_o to_o deny_v christ_n one_o commandment_n for_o all_o his_o love_n to_o we_o he_o require_v but_o this_o testimony_n of_o our_o love_n to_o he_o which_o we_o can_v choose_v but_o perform_v if_o we_o do_v love_v he_o therefore_o take_v heed_n if_o thou_o feel_v any_o malice_n towards_o thy_o brother_n be_v sure_a thy_o heart_n be_v not_o

forgive_v thou_o must_v not_o in_o any_o thing_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o flesh_n for_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v death_n but_o always_o make_v thy_o spirit_n thy_o guide_n for_o there_o be_v life_n and_o peace_n the_o devil_n will_v desire_v no_o great_a advantage_n than_o that_o thou_o will_v trust_v thy_o soul_n to_o the_o discretion_n of_o thy_o corrupt_a flesh_n he_o will_v soon_o inveigle_v that_o to_o betray_v thou_o but_o when_o thou_o have_v put_v thyself_o under_o the_o spirit_n submit_v thy_o will_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n he_o be_v no_o more_o able_a to_o hurt_v thou_o the_o next_o excuse_n i_o will_v take_v from_o thou_o be_v a_o very_a foolish_a one_o but_o so_o common_a that_o i_o fear_v you_o may_v happen_v on_o it_o and_o that_o be_v this_o if_o i_o shall_v suffer_v wrong_n patient_o what_o will_v become_v of_o my_o reputation_n what_o will_v the_o world_n say_v true_o if_o you_o remember_v christ_n have_v suffer_v more_o for_o you_o than_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o you_o to_o suffer_v yet_o he_o never_o revile_v any_o of_o his_o enemy_n nor_o strike_v his_o persecutor_n but_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o his_o example_n teach_v all_o that_o love_v he_o to_o do_v the_o like_a he_o will_v you_o to_o turn_v the_o left_a cheek_n to_o he_o that_o smite_v the_o right_n to_o give_v to_o he_o that_o take_v from_o you_o and_o to_o go_v with_o he_o that_o compel_v you_o but_o these_o be_v strange_a rule_n for_o a_o generous_a spirit_n in_o these_o time_n nay_o sure_o if_o i_o be_v strike_v i_o must_v strike_v again_o else_o i_o be_o a_o coward_n indeed_o as_o for_o give_v if_o it_o be_v to_o one_o that_o will_v desire_v it_o at_o my_o hand_n i_o have_v rather_o give_v a_o fragment_n of_o my_o right_n than_o go_v to_o law_n but_o if_o he_o will_v not_o sue_v to_o i_o i_o will_v spend_v all_o i_o be_o worth_a ere_o i_o yield_v or_o i_o will_v go_v out_o of_o my_o door_n to_o show_v a_o man_n his_o way_n but_o i_o will_v fain_o
