he_o be_v tell_v what_o be_v that_o wisdom_n that_o be_v from_o above_o it_o be_v pure_a peaceable_a gentle_a easy_a to_o be_v entreat_v full_a of_o good_a fruit_n without_o partiality_n without_o hypocrisy_n and_o my_o thought_n run_v thus_o upon_o this_o that_o the_o execute_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o truth_n for_o that_o be_v the_o judgement_n that_o you_o must_v have_v wisdom_n from_o above_o for_o and_o that_o be_v pure_a that_o will_v teach_v you_o to_o execute_v the_o judgement_n of_o truth_n and_o then_o if_o god_n give_v you_o heart_n to_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v entreat_v to_o be_v peaceable_a spirit_n to_o be_v full_a of_o good_a fruit_n bear_v good_a fruit_n to_o the_o nation_n to_o man_n as_o man_n to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o all_o in_o their_o several_a station_n this_o wisdom_n will_v teach_v you_o to_o execute_v the_o judgement_n of_o mercy_n and_o truth_n and_o i_o have_v little_o more_o to_o say_v to_o this_o i_o shall_v rather_o bend_v my_o prayer_n for_o you_o in_o that_o behalf_n as_o i_o say_v before_o and_o i_o know_v many_o other_o do_v also_o true_o the_o judgement_n of_o truth_n will_v teach_v you_o to_o be_v as_o just_a towards_o a_o unbeliever_n as_o towards_o a_o believer_n and_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v so_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v often_o say_v it_o foolish_o if_o i_o will_v miscarry_v i_o will_v rather_o do_v it_o to_o a_o believer_n than_o to_o a_o unbeliever_n perhaps_o it_o be_v a_o paradox_n but_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o do_v it_o to_o either_o exercise_v injustice_n to_o either_o if_o god_n fill_v our_o heart_n with_o such_o a_o spirit_n as_o moses_n and_o paul_n have_v which_o be_v not_o only_o a_o spirit_n for_o the_o believer_n among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n but_o for_o the_o whole_a people_n he_o will_v have_v dye_v for_o they_o and_o so_o paul_n to_o his_o countryman_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n he_o can_v have_v dye_v for_o they_o true_o this_o will_v help_v we_o to_o execute_v the_o judgement_n of_o truth_n and_o mercy_n also_o a_o second_o thing_n be_v to_o desire_v you_o will_v be_v faithful_a with_o the_o saint_n and_o i_o hope_v whatever_o other_o may_v think_v aught_o to_o be_v to_o we_o all_o matter_n of_o rejoice_v that_o as_o one_o person_n our_o saviour_n be_v touch_v with_o our_o infirmity_n that_o he_o may_v be_v pitiful_a i_o do_v think_v this_o assembly_n thus_o call_v be_v very_o much_o touch_v with_o the_o common_a infirmity_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o i_o hope_v that_o will_v teach_v you_o to_o pity_v other_o that_o so_o saint_n of_o one_o sort_n may_v not_o be_v our_o interest_n but_o that_o we_o may_v have_v respect_n unto_o all_o though_o of_o different_a judgement_n and_o if_o i_o do_v seem_v to_o speak_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v seem_v to_o reflect_v upon_o those_o of_o the_o presbyterian_a judgement_n i_o think_v if_o you_o have_v not_o a_o interest_n of_o love_n for_o they_o will_v hardly_o answer_v this_o faithfulness_n to_o his_o saint_n i_o confess_v in_o my_o pilgrimage_n and_o some_o exercise_n i_o have_v have_v abroad_o i_o do_v read_v that_o scripture_n often_o in_o isaiah_n 41._o &_o 19_o when_o god_n give_v i_o and_o some_o of_o my_o fellow_n what_o he_o will_v there_o and_o elsewhere_o which_o he_o perform_v for_o we_o and_o what_o will_v he_o do_v to_o what_o end_n that_o he_o may_v plant_v in_o the_o wilderness_n the_o cedar_n and_o the_o shitta_n tree_n and_o the_o myrtle_n tree_n and_o the_o palm_n tree_n together_o to_o what_o end_n that_o they_o may_v know_v and_o consider_v and_o understand_v together_o that_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v this_o and_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v create_v it_o that_o he_o wrought_v all_o salvation_n and_o deliverance_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a flock_n therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o but_o i_o think_v i_o need_v not_o have_v a_o care_n of_o the_o whole_a flock_n love_v all_o the_o sheep_n love_v the_o lamb_n love_v all_o and_o tender_a all_o and_o cherish_v all_o and_o countenance_n all_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o if_o the_o poor_a christian_n the_o most_o mistake_a christian_a shall_v desire_v to_o live_v peaceable_o and_o quiet_o under_o you_o sober_o and_o humble_o desire_v to_o lead_v a_o life_n in_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n let_v he_o be_v protect_v i_o think_v i_o need_v as_o little_a advise_v you_o concern_v the_o propagation_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o encourage_v such_o minister_n and_o such_o a_o ministry_n as_o be_v faithful_a in_o the_o land_n upon_o who_o the_o true_a character_n be_v man_n that_o have_v true_o receive_v the_o spirit_n for_o such_o a_o use_n which_o christian_n will_v be_v well_o able_a to_o

roman_n 12_o when_o he_o have_v summon_v up_o all_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o have_v discourse_v of_o

the_o foundation_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o the_o several_a thing_n that_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o his_o discourse_n in_o the_o 11_o first_o chapter_n after_o he_o have_v beseech_v they_o to_o

mention_v i_o speak_v not_o it_o be_v far_o from_o my_o heart_n for_o a_o ministry_n derive_v itself_o through_o the_o papacy_n and_o pretend_v to_o that_o which_o be_v so_o much_o insist_v upon_o to_o be_v succession_n the_o true_a succession_n be_v through_o the_o spirit_n give_v in_o that_o measure_n that_o the_o spirit_n be_v give_v and_o that_o be_v a_o right_a succession_n but_o i_o need_v not_o discourse_n of_o these_o thing_n to_o you_o i_o be_o persuade_v you_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n in_o a_o great_a measure_n than_o myself_o in_o these_o thing_n indeed_o i_o have_v but_o one_o word_n more_o to_o say_v and_o that_o be_v though_o in_o that_o perhaps_o i_o shall_v show_v my_o weakness_n it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o encouragement_n to_o you_o to_o go_v on_o in_o this_o work_n and_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o begin_v thus_o i_o confess_v i_o never_o look_v to_o see_v such_o a_o day_n as_o this_o it_o may_v be_v nor_o you_o when_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v own_v as_o he_o be_v this_o day_n and_o in_o this_o world_n jesus_n christ_n be_v own_v this_o day_n by_o you_o all_o and_o you_o own_v he_o by_o your_o willingness_n in_o appear_v here_o and_o you_o manifest_v this_o as_o far_o as_o poor_a creature_n can_v to_o be_v a_o day_n of_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n by_o your_o willingness_n i_o know_v you_o remember_v that_o scripture_n in_o psalm_n 110.3_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v willing_a in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o power_n god_n do_v manifest_v it_o to_o be_v a_o day_n of_o the_o power_n of_o jesus_n christ_n have_v through_o so_o much_o blood_n and_o so_o much_o trial_n as_o have_v be_v upon_o these_o nation_n make_v this_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a issue_n thereof_o to_o have_v a_o people_n call_v to_o the_o supreme_a authority_n upon_o a_o avow_a account_n god_n have_v own_v his_o son_n by_o this_o and_o you_o by_o your_o willingness_n do_v own_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o for_o my_o part_n i_o confess_v i_o do_v never_o look_v to_o see_v such_o a_o sight_n perhaps_o you_o be_v not_o know_v by_o face_n one_o to_o another_o but_o we_o must_v tell_v you_o this_o that_o indeed_o we_o have_v not_o allow_v ourselves_o in_o the_o choice_n of_o one_o person_n in_o who_o we_o have_v not_o this_o good_a hope_n that_o there_o be_v faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o love_n unto_o all_o his_o saint_n and_o people_n and_o thus_o god_n have_v own_v you_o in_o the_o face_n and_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n and_o thus_o by_o your_o come_n hither_o have_v you_o own_v he_o as_o it_o be_v in_o isaiah_n 43.21_o it_o be_v a_o high_a expression_n and_o look_v to_o your_o own_o heart_n whether_o now_o or_o hereafter_o god_n shall_v apply_v it_o to_o you_o this_o people_n say_v he_o i_o have_v form_v for_o myself_o that_o they_o may_v show_v forth_o my_o praise_n it_o be_v a_o memorable_a place_n &_o i_o hope_v not_o unfit_o apply_v god_n apply_v it_o to_o each_o of_o your_o heart_n i_o shall_v not_o descant_v upon_o the_o word_n they_o be_v plain_a you_o be_v as_o like_o the_o form_n of_o god_n as_o ever_o people_n be_v if_o any_o man_n shall_v ask_v you_o one_o by_o one_o and_o shall_v tender_v a_o book_n to_o

and_o that_o be_v a_o active_a word_n this_o people_n i_o have_v form_v consider_v the_o circumstance_n by_o which_o you_o be_v call_v together_o through_o what_o difficulty_n through_o what_o

such_o a_o way_n of_o own_v of_o god_n and_o be_v own_v by_o he_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v also_o never_o a_o people_n form_v for_o such_o a_o purpose_n so_o call_v if_o it_o be_v time_n to_o

and_o who_o will_v desire_v any_o thing_n more_o in_o the_o world_n but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v so_o i_o will_v all_o the_o lord_n people_n be_v prophet_n i_o will_v they_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v

know_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n what_o be_v there_o like_a to_o win_v the_o people_n to_o the_o interest_n and_o love_n of_o god_n nay_o what_o a_o duty_n will_v lie_v upon_o you_o to_o have_v your_o conversation_n such_o as_o that_o they_o may_v love_v you_o that_o they_o may_v see_v you_o lay_v out_o your_o time_n and_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v not_o this_o the_o most_o likely_a way_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o their_o liberty_n and_o do_v you_o not_o by_o this_o put_v it_o upon_o god_n to_o find_v the_o time_n and_o the_o season_n for_o it_o by_o pour_v forth_o his_o spirit_n at_o

it_o be_v of_o god_n and_o it_o have_v be_v unproject_v unthought_a of_o by_o you_o and_o we_o and_o that_o have_v be_v the_o way_n god_n have_v deal_v with_o we_o all_o along_o to_o keep_v thing_n

they_o shall_v be_v a_o people_n call_v choose_v and_o faithful_a and_o have_v in_o the_o military_a way_n we_o must_v speak_v it_o without_o flattery_n i_o believe_v you_o know_v it_o he_o have_v
