A44095	Some considerations of present use wherein is shewn that the strong ought to bear with the weak, and the weak not clamour against or censure the strong, in which the true notion of the strong and weak is stated / delivered in a farewell-sermon at St. George Buttolph-Lane, London, by Benjamin Hoffman ...

have_v not_o just_a the_o very_a same_o sentiment_n of_o thing_n in_o every_o particular_a as_o it_o may_v be_v few_o man_n have_v yet_o that_o they_o will_v not_o rend_v and_o tear_v christ_n church_n but_o will_v lay_v aside_o their_o dislike_n of_o each_o other_o private_a opinion_n and_o with_o one_o heart_n and_o one_o mouth_n join_v together_o in_o public_a duty_n and_o ordinance_n and_o receive_v one_o another_o in_o the_o visible_a communion_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n that_o the_o weak_a shall_v not_o as_o malcontent_n go_v to_o separate_v themselves_o and_o throw_v away_o their_o soul_n nor_o the_o strong_a as_o have_v a_o clear_a understanding_n disdain_v to_o join_v with_o the_o weak_a but_o that_o we_o shall_v receive_v one_o another_o to_o the_o help_a each_o other_o forward_o in_o grace_n as_o christ_n also_o offer_v to_o receive_v we_o to_o the_o eternal_a be_v with_o he_o in_o glory_n and_o now_o have_v speak_v distinct_o to_o the_o word_n of_o text_n i_o shall_v pass_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o i_o shall_v insist_v on_o very_o brief_o and_o that_o be_v 2._o to_o consider_v that_o great_a duty_n of_o obedience_n to_o magistrate_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v not_o have_v mention_v now_o but_o only_o that_o st._n paul_n lay_v it_o down_o as_o the_o first_o step_n to_o peace_n and_o order_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o likewise_o because_o the_o dispute_n of_o day_n and_o meat_n etc._n etc._n be_v out_o of_o door_n between_o we_o and_o our_o brethren_n the_o dissenter_n and_o because_o they_o seem_v as_o much_o blunder_v and_o puzzle_v about_o the_o extent_n of_o obedience_n to_o our_o law_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v of_o they_o which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o touch_v upon_o this_o duty_n as_o i_o go_v and_o indeed_o their_o be_v so_o much_o mistake_v in_o the_o extent_n of_o christian_a obedience_n be_v that_o i_o fear_v which_o make_v they_o take_v so_o little_a notice_n of_o the_o law_n of_o a_o reform_a christian_a prince_n for_o if_o the_o power_n of_o a_o heathen_a prince_n be_v from_o god_n and_o that_o he_o that_o resist_v he_o shall_v receive_v damnation_n to_o himself_o much_o more_o when_o one_o as_o i_o may_v say_v after_o god_n own_o heart_n be_v in_o the_o throne_n when_o he_o countenance_n that_o same_o religion_n which_o we_o pretend_v to_o love_v at_o our_o very_a heart_n and_o which_o our_o forefather_n seal_v with_o their_o blood_n these_o consideration_n methinks_v may_v make_v we_o run_v volunteer_n in_o obedience_n to_o he_o and_o cause_v we_o to_o stifle_v all_o the_o little_a trick_n and_o humour_n of_o our_o own_o when_o god_n and_o the_o king_n go_v thus_o together_o in_o our_o israel_n nay_o beside_o all_o this_o our_o law_n be_v not_o the_o breath_n of_o one_o single_a person_n only_o but_o proceed_v from_o the_o mature_a deliberation_n of_o man_n of_o our_o own_o choose_n to_o represent_v our_o grievance_n and_o take_v care_n that_o no_o heavy_a burden_n be_v lay_v on_o our_o body_n or_o mind_n than_o themselves_o as_o fellow-subject_n be_v ready_a to_o bear_v and_o yet_o strange_a it_o be_v that_o after_o all_o these_o wonderful_a privilege_n we_o shall_v have_v some_o repine_n at_o and_o other_o defy_v our_o admirable_a form_n and_o method_n of_o government_n that_o they_o shall_v allow_v none_o to_o be_v lord_n over_o they_o and_o that_o the_o pretence_n of_o christian_a liberty_n shall_v fight_v and_o set_v itself_o against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o man_n and_o this_o we_o see_v by_o too_o sad_a and_o daily_a experience_n it_o do_v whereas_o be_v our_o prince_n in_o his_o judgement_n a_o heathen_a in_o his_o power_n furnish_v to_o be_v arbitrary_o and_o uncontrolable_o cruel_a and_o in_o his_o will_n and_o inclination_n delight_v to_o crush_v and_o grieve_v his_o subject_n yet_o to_o this_o power_n we_o must_v be_v obedient_a in_o short_a be_v the_o prince_n what_o he_o will_v god_n require_v a_o thorough_a obedience_n one_o way_n or_o other_o and_o therefore_o the_o thought_n of_o a_o gracious_a a_o merciful_a and_o a_o reform_a prince_n shall_v make_v we_o so_o proud_a of_o and_o please_v with_o our_o governor_n as_o not_o to_o thwart_v he_o upon_o straw_n and_o trifle_n no_o master_n though_o never_o so_o mean_a but_o expect_v dutifulness_n from_o his_o servant_n no_o father_n though_o never_o so_o poor_a but_o require_v obedience_n from_o his_o child_n and_o why_o shall_v a_o prince_n who_o be_v above_o we_o all_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v mock_v when_o no_o body_n else_o will_n why_o shall_v he_o be_v call_v a_o lawmaker_n of_o his_o country_n if_o every_o humourous_a fanciful_a person_n may_v control_v his_o authority_n when_o he_o please_v this_o seem_v a_o great_a affront_n to_o the_o supreme_a power_n on_o earth_n especial_o a_o power_n so_o great_a as_o to_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n though_o i_o real_o fear_v many_o christian_n do_v not_o know_v what_o they_o do_v when_o to_o the_o indulge_v some_o humour_n of_o their_o own_o they_o bid_v adieu_o to_o all_o authority_n and_o do_v what_o in_o single_a person_n lie_v to_o the_o divide_v christian_n and_o confound_a church-order_n and_o discipline_n but_o i_o hope_v better_o of_o you_o my_o brethren_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o insist_v any_o more_o upon_o this_o head_n only_o add_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n that_o you_o must_v be_v subject_a not_o only_o for_o wrath_n but_o conscience_n sake_n i._n e._n you_o must_v make_v obedience_n to_o governor_n as_o sincere_o your_o desire_n and_o endeavour_n as_o any_o other_o gospel-duty_n whatsoever_o but_o i_o design_v only_o to_o touch_v upon_o this_o head_n and_o therefore_o shall_v pass_v to_o the_o next_o head_n and_o that_o be_v 3._o how_o christian_n shall_v carry_v themselves_o towards_o each_o other_o with_o reference_n to_o communion_n viz._n the_o strong_a to_o the_o weak_a and_o the_o weak_a to_o the_o strong_a that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v like_o mind_a one_o towards_o another_o the_o strong_a be_v those_o that_o have_v a_o exact_a knowledge_n of_o thing_n both_o lawful_a and_o unlawful_a and_o which_o think_v nothing_o that_o be_v lawful_a to_o be_v unlawful_a the_o weak_a be_v those_o that_o think_v one_o or_o more_o thing_n that_o be_v lawful_a to_o be_v unlawful_a and_o their_o weakness_n consist_v in_o their_o doubt_n and_o mistake_v judgement_n about_o thing_n that_o be_v lawful_a the_o strong_a in_o the_o apostle_n day_n be_v those_o that_o thorough_o understand_v what_o liberty_n they_o have_v by_o christ_n from_o the_o jewish_a ceremony_n the_o weak_a in_o those_o day_n be_v those_o that_o think_v well_o of_o christianity_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o be_v unwilling_a quite_o to_o throw_v off_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n that_o stand_v upon_o meat_n and_o day_n etc._n etc._n though_o the_o gospel_n acquit_v they_o the_o strong_a in_o our_o day_n be_v those_o that_o be_v hearty_o obedient_a to_o all_o the_o law_n of_o magistrate_n that_o be_v not_o forbid_v in_o god_n word_n and_o that_o be_v satisfy_v that_o a_o prince_n have_v power_n to_o enjoin_v any_o thing_n in_o our_o worship_n that_o be_v not_o except_v against_o in_o the_o gospel_n the_o weak_a in_o our_o day_n be_v those_o that_o either_o can_v or_o will_v distinguish_v between_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o modes_n of_o worship_n that_o think_v they_o be_v not_o oblige_v nay_o that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o obey_v their_o governor_n as_o to_o the_o enjoin_v indifferent_a thing_n in_o their_o worship_n because_o they_o be_v not_o command_v in_o word_n at_o length_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o now_o have_v name_v to_o you_o the_o man_n and_o the_o thing_n i_o shall_v proceed_v humble_o to_o offer_v some_o rule_n to_o your_o consideration_n and_o so_o conclude_v and_o in_o these_o i_o shall_v apply_v myself_o to_o the_o strong_a and_o the_o weak_a and_o because_o st._n paul_n in_o this_o chapter_n begin_v with_o the_o strong_a i_o shall_v do_v so_o too_o we_o therefore_o that_o be_v strong_a aught_o to_o bear_v the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o weak_a especial_o if_o the_o weak_a be_v as_o they_o be_v in_o those_o day_n and_o perhaps_o have_v some_o reason_n to_o be_v in_o a_o great_a strait_n which_o to_o take_v for_o it_o be_v doubtless_o very_o hard_o for_o man_n then_o especial_o those_o that_o be_v zealous_a to_o throw_v off_o a_o religion_n almost_o whole_o and_o run_v with_o immediate_a satisfaction_n into_o another_o it_o be_v doubtless_o a_o great_a surprise_n to_o they_o that_o after_o a_o religion_n have_v flourish_v about_o four_o thousand_o year_n and_o have_v be_v own_v by_o god_n as_o the_o true_a in_o
