the_o quality_n of_o the_o mind_n by_o the_o common_a action_n or_o habit_n of_o their_o life_n as_o they_o do_v of_o tree_n by_o the_o fruit_n which_o they_o produce_v be_v they_o good_a or_o evil_n

may_v judge_v by_o yourselves_o that_o because_o you_o speak_v and_o do_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a therefore_o you_v yourselves_o be_v evil_a so_o you_o shall_v judge_v of_o i_o that_o because_o you_o see_v i_o say_v and_o do_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v good_a therefore_o i_o be_o good_a and_o therefore_o that_o spirit_n which_o work_v in_o i_o be_v good_a schol._n i_o apprehend_v all_o this_o and_o therefore_o shall_v save_v you_o the_o labour_n of_o expound_v that_o which_o follow_v for_o i_o see_v it_o all_o tend_v to_o the_o same_o end_n and_o scope_n only_o methinks_v i_o be_o much_o straighten_v in_o my_o mind_n about_o the_o 36th_o verse_n which_o forbid_v all_o idle_a word_n for_o if_o we_o must_v give_v account_n of_o every_o one_o such_o god_n be_v

this_o idle_a word_n here_o you_o may_v be_v sure_a it_o have_v reference_n to_o that_o word_n which_o the_o pharisee_n have_v speak_v of_o christ_n when_o they_o say_v he_o cast_v out_o devil_n in_o the_o name_n of_o beelzebub_n for_o christ_n have_v not_o do_v with_o this_o calumny_n of_o they_o yet_o but_o continue_v his_o discourse_n upon_o it_o till_o the_o 38._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n now_o consider_v this_o idle_a word_n in_o that_o reference_n it_o be_v most_o reasonable_a to_o expound_v it_o not_o of_o every_o word_n which_o a_o man_n speak_v of_o which_o there_o be_v no_o

there_o be_v no_o truth_n for_o by_o idle_a and_o vain_a in_o holy_a scripture_n be_v often_o understand_v that_o which_o be_v false_a and_o so_o to_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a in_o the_o commandment_n be_v to_o swear_v false_o so_o that_o the_o scope_n of_o christ_n in_o those_o word_n be_v this_o do_v you_o think_v that_o you_o shall_v escape_v for_o this_o horrid_a calumny_n which_o you_o have_v cast_v upon_o i_o know_v it_o to_o be_v a_o calumny_n in_o your_o own_o heart_n i_o tell_v you_o nay_o for_o no_o man_n shall_v escape_v in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o

that_o calumny_n be_v false_a which_o doubtless_o be_v a_o very_a grievous_a sin_n but_o when_o we_o be_v not_o evident_o ascertain_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v true_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o

to_o repeat_v that_o of_o another_o which_o be_v false_a and_o not_o to_o wish_v it_o true_a sch._n i_o thank_v you_o for_o this_o satisfaction_n and_o by_o god_n help_n shall_v endeavour_v to_o frame_v my_o life_n and_o conversation_n according_o for_o i_o perceive_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n which_o the_o world_n take_v little_a notice_n of_o though_o indeed_o it_o be_v the_o destruction_n of_o charity_n without_o which_o no_o man_n be_v a_o christian_n for_o so_o they_o avoid_v do_v of_o that_o which_o be_v notorious_o evil_a they_o care_v not_o what_o they_o say_v of_o any_o man_n now_o if_o you_o please_v we_o will_v proceed_v to_o that_o which_o follow_v i_o pray_v what_o do_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n mean_v to_o desire_v a_o sign_n from_o christ_n in_o the_o 31th_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n who_o have_v see_v so_o many_o before_o for_o methinks_v it_o seem_v a_o very_a impertinent_a request_n mast_n some_o interpreter_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o these_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n be_v not_o the_o same_o who_o see_v those_o late_a miracle_n which_o our_o saviour_n do_v and_o they_o ground_n their_o opinion_n upon_o luke_n 11._o 16._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o other_o tempt_v he_o seek_v a_o sign_n from_o heaven_n but_o upon_o examination_n that_o opinion_n will_v not_o hold_v the_o better_a answer_n be_v that_o they_o do_v not_o desire_v a_o bare_a sign_n or_o a_o miracle_n of_o which_o they_o have_v see_v enough_o already_o but_o they_o desire_v a_o sign_n from_o heaven_n as_o st._n luke_n speak_v that_o be_v that_o god_n by_o some_o strange_a prodigy_n there_o shall_v declare_v he_o to_o be_v a_o prophet_n send_v from_o he_o if_o so_o be_v he_o be_v so_o indeed_o for_o as_o for_o those_o miracle_n which_o he_o do_v on_o earth_n they_o be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o they_o as_o apprehend_v they_o pendulous_a between_o two_o several_a power_n for_o as_o they_o they_o may_v come_v from_o god_n so_o they_o may_v come_v from_o the_o devil_n but_o in_o heaven_n they_o think_v the_o devil_n have_v no_o power_n schol._n i_o like_v your_o reason_n well_o but_o i_o pray_v what_o do_v christ_n mean_a by_o that_o answer_n which_o he_o give_v to_o their_o request_n in_o the_o 39_o 40_o 41_o and_o 42_o verse_n for_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v it_o perfect_o mast_n the_o meaning_n of_o his_o answer_n be_v this_o you_o will_v have_v a_o sign_n from_o heaven_n and_o then_o you_o will_v believe_v i_o god_n that_o will_v omit_v no_o occasion_n to_o leave_v you_o unexcusable_a have_v give_v you_o sign_n enough_o here_o upon_o earth_n but_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o satisfy_v your_o humour_n and_o give_v they_o where_o and_o when_o you_o will_v have_v they_o he_o know_v these_o which_o you_o have_v see_v be_v sufficient_a to_o persuade_v belief_n if_o that_o your_o avarice_n and_o profit_n and_o place_n which_o you_o hold_v in_o the_o present_a jewish_a state_n do_v not_o make_v you_o seek_v all_o occasion_n and_o cloak_n for_o your_o incredulity_n and_o therefore_o if_o those_o sign_n which_o i_o have_v do_v on_o earth_n will_v not_o serve_v you_o you_o shall_v have_v none_o from_o heaven_n but_o if_o you_o will_v you_o shall_v have_v one_o from_o under_o the_o earth_n even_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o prophet_n ionas_n and_o that_o sign_v not_o a_o sign_n to_o convert_v you_o who_o after_o so_o many_o sign_n and_o miracle_n will_v not_o be_v convert_v but_o a_o sign_n of_o my_o innocence_n and_o your_o malice_n which_o will_v persecute_v i_o even_o unto_o the_o death_n for_o all_o that_o good_a which_o i_o have_v do_v among_o you_o sch._n by_o this_o which_o you_o have_v say_v i_o do_v not_o only_o perceive_v the_o scope_n and_o purport_n of_o christ_n answer_n which_o he_o give_v they_o but_o the_o drift_n of_o verse_n 41_o and_o 42_o also_o wherein_o he_o complain_v that_o they_o who_o have_v have_v so_o many_o sign_n do_v among_o they_o never_o will_v believe_v whereas_o those_o of_o nineveh_n and_o the_o queen_n of_o the_o south_n without_o any_o sign_n or_o miracle_n wrought_v either_o by_o ionas_n or_o solomon_n believe_v all_o that_o be_v tell_v they_o but_o i_o pray_v how_o come_v the_o next_o discourse_n in_o concern_v the_o unclean_a spirit_n go_v out_o of_o a_o man_n in_o the_o 43_o verse_n and_o what_o be_v the_o scope_n and_o purport_n of_o that_o discourse_n mast_n it_o be_v not_o improbable_a that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v much_o afflict_v with_o the_o evil_a and_o incredulous_a heart_n of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n take_v a_o kind_n of_o survey_n of_o that_o whole_a nation_n even_o from_o the_o time_n wherein_o they_o be_v first_o lead_v away_o captive_a into_o babylon_n to_o the_o time_n when_o they_o be_v utter_o destroy_v by_o titus_n before_o their_o captivity_n they_o be_v full_a of_o all_o manner_n of_o wickedness_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o prophet_n under_o their_o captivity_n they_o be_v a_o little_a reclaim_v and_o

great_a deliverance_n which_o be_v now_o work_v for_o they_o and_o therefore_o where_o they_o see_v the_o one_o they_o shall_v expect_v the_o other_o sch._n i_o believe_v you_o have_v guess_v right_o but_o what_o say_v you_o to_o the_o verse_n which_o follow_v or_o else_o how_o can_v one_o enter_v into_o a_o strong_a man_n house_n and_o spoil_v his_o good_n etc._n etc._n it_o look_v like_o another_o argument_n which_o christ_n use_v in_o his_o own_o defence_n against_o this_o calumny_n of_o the_o pharisee_n but_o i_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o yet_o apprehend_v it_o mast_n it_o be_v not_o unlikely_a but_o anon_o you_o will_n this_o be_v indeed_o a_o three_o argument_n of_o christ_n and_o it_o touch_v to_o the_o quick_a for_o whereas_o his_o other_o two_o serve_v only_o to_o convince_v certain_a man_n this_o come_v to_o the_o very_a thing_n itself_o and_o quite_o overthrow_v it_o there_o have_v be_v say_v christ_n who_o have_v cast_v out_o devil_n through_o beelzebub_n it_o may_v be_v so_o but_o this_o have_v be_v without_o any_o harm_n or_o loss_n from_o the_o one_o unto_o the_o other_o it_o have_v not_o come_v to_o spoil_v of_o good_n to_o extirpate_v out_o of_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n any_o of_o their_o sin_n but_o rather_o to_o increase_v they_o this_o have_v be_v nothing_o but_o a_o mere_a collusion_n and_o cheat_n but_o when_o i_o cast_v out_o devil_n you_o may_v see_v i_o spoil_v they_o to_o the_o purpose_n i_o rob_v they_o of_o their_o power_n for_o i_o plant_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n such_o doctrine_n as_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o vice_n and_o wickedness_n to_o be_v near_o it_o wherein_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n do_v consist_v and_o therefore_o you_o may_v well_o imagine_v that_o i_o be_o in_o good_a earnest_n for_o i_o bind_v he_o and_o spoil_v he_o which_o no_o one_o devil_n ever_o yet_o do_v unto_o another_o or_o ever_o will_n schol._n i_o shall_v desire_v to_o put_v you_o to_o no_o more_o trouble_n in_o this_o verse_n if_o you_o please_v let_v we_o pass_v unto_o the_o next_o mast_n as_o i_o take_v it_o that_o be_v this_o he_o that_o be_v not_o with_o i_o be_v against_o i_o and_o he_o that_o gather_v not_o with_o i_o scatter_v abroad_o schol._n true_o as_o the_o word_n stand_v alone_o i_o shall_v not_o trouble_v you_o at_o all_o with_o they_o for_o to_o my_o think_n they_o be_v easy_a enough_o but_o as_o they_o follow_v upon_o what_o go_v before_o i_o see_v not_o what_o our_o saviour_n christ_n may_v intend_v by_o they_o mast_n have_v declare_v himself_o to_o be_v so_o far_o from_o cast_v out_o devil_n in_o the_o name_n of_o beelzebub_n that_o he_o labour_v to_o bind_v even_o beelzebub_n himself_o and_o to_o spoil_v he_o of_o all_o his_o power_n which_o he_o exercise_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o wicked_a man_n he_o carry_v the_o consideration_n of_o this_o enmity_n between_o the_o devil_n and_o himself_o to_o such_o a_o height_n as_o that_o he_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o any_o neutrality_n in_o any_o other_o man_n profess_v that_o whosoever_o be_v not_o the_o devil_n enemy_n be_v he_o according_a to_o that_o axiom_n of_o the_o war_n medii_fw-la habentur_fw-la pro_fw-la hostibus_fw-la all_o indifferent_a man_n be_v enemy_n and_o if_o all_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o show_v how_o far_o he_o be_v from_o operate_n by_o the_o help_n of_o satan_n sure_o nothing_o can_v be_v and_o therefore_o have_v say_v this_o conceive_v he_o have_v say_v as_o much_o as_o man_n can_v say_v he_o add_v wherefore_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o vers_n 31._o that_o be_v see_v it_o be_v evident_a by_o these_o reason_n and_o argument_n that_o all_o the_o sign_n and_o miracle_n which_o i_o do_v i_o do_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o not_o by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o devil_n consider_v what_o a_o wretched_a punishment_n you_o draw_v upon_o yourselves_o that_o thus_o do_v slander_n and_o bely_v i_o this_o connexion_n st._n mark_n do_v teach_v we_o plain_o ch._n 3._o 30._o where_o he_o say_v because_o they_o say_v he_o have_v a_o unclean_a spirit_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n proceed_v not_o mere_o upon_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o own_o argument_n but_o as_o know_v their_o thought_n as_o st._n matthew_n tell_v we_o in_o the_o 2d_o the_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n that_o be_v he_o see_v in_o unto_o they_o and_o he_o know_v that_o they_o very_o believe_v that_o the_o miracle_n which_o he_o wrought_v be_v wrought_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o he_o see_v that_o they_o will_v rather_o invent_v any_o lie_n or_o asperse_v he_o with_o any_o slander_n though_o they_o know_v it_o well_o enough_o to_o be_v a_o lie_n and_o slander_n then_o to_o suffer_v the_o people_n to_o forsake_v their_o chair_n and_o to_o

begin_v to_o have_v a_o little_a glimpse_n of_o but_o desire_v you_o to_o give_v i_o better_a light_n mast_n i_o shall_v but_o first_o i_o will_v glad_o know_v what_o you_o conceive_v of_o those_o word_n in_o the_o 31._o verse_n all_o manner_n of_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n shall_v be_v forgive_v unto_o man_n because_o by_o understanding_n of_o what_o sin_n shall_v be_v forgive_v you_o will_v the_o more_o easy_o understand_v i_o when_o i_o tell_v you_o what_o manner_n of_o sin_n shall_v not_o schol._n why_o sir_n i_o understand_v any_o manner_n of_o sin_n whatsoever_o and_o i_o understand_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v the_o only_a sin_n which_o shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v mast_n i_o do_v fear_n as_o much_o and_o therefore_o i_o do_v ask_v you_o but_o you_o must_v know_v that_o you_o be_v much_o mistake_v both_o in_o the_o one_o and_o in_o the_o other_o opinion_n for_o first_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o christ_n speak_v not_o of_o all_o sin_n but_o of_o that_o sin_n which_o be_v blasphemy_n or_o calumny_n for_o there_o be_v many_o other_o sin_n which_o will_v never_o be_v forgive_v as_o well_o as_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n he_o say_v whosoever_o speak_v a_o word_n against_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o be_v whosoever_o slander_v or_o calumniate_v any_o other_o man_n it_o shall_v be_v forgive_v he_o and_o in_o those_o word_n he_o expound_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n second_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o when_o he_o say_v all_o manner_n of_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n shall_v be_v forgive_v there_o be_v a_o hebraism_n in_o those_o word_n which_o be_v often_o meet_v withal_o in_o scripture_n as_o in_o the_o 5_o chap._n of_o st._n matthew_n heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v away_o but_o my_o word_n shall_v not_o pass_v away_o that_o be_v heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v soon_o pass_v away_o than_o my_o word_n shall_v

his_o word_n shall_v the_o meaning_n therefore_o of_o the_o word_n be_v only_o this_o all_o manner_n of_o calumny_n and_o slander_n be_v heavy_a sin_n and_o shall_v hardly_o be_v forgive_v to_o

call_v blaspheme_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v the_o case_n of_o these_o pharisee_n who_o calumniate_v the_o miracle_n which_o our_o saviour_n wrought_v as_o proceed_v from_o the_o devil_n which_o their_o own_o conscience_n tell_v they_o issue_v from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n sch._n i_o confess_v sir_n this_o be_v very_o plain_a and_o easy_a and_o i_o pray_v proceed_v to_o
