be_o a_o stranger_n among_o you_o and_o be_v so_o as_o every_o christian_a must_v profess_v himself_o it_o therefore_o follow_v we_o must_v abstain_v from_o all_o fleshly_a lust_n and_o worldly_a desire_n and_o carnal_a concupiscence_n and_o appetite_n for_o stranger_n use_v not_o to_o settle_v on_o their_o dregs_o in_o the_o country_n they_o pass_v through_o but_o as_o man_n in_o motion_n they_o take_v that_o which_o be_v needful_a know_v that_o they_o have_v a_o country_n in_o another_o place_n the_o bless_a jerusalem_n that_o be_v from_o above_o who_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o we_o all_o second_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v here_o the_o humble_a conclusion_n that_o abraham_n make_v out_o of_o his_o pilgrimage_n out_o of_o his_o strangeness_n because_o he_o be_v a_o stranger_n therefore_o he_o will_v be_v no_o meddler_n as_o it_o be_v a_o old_a rule_n stranger_n must_v be_v no_o medlar_n they_o must_v not_o take_v what_o they_o will_v not_o buy_v what_o they_o will_v stranger_n do_v not_o purchase_v land_n in_o a_o strange_a country_n without_o the_o good_a will_n of_o the_o native_n such_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n he_o will_v not_o

whensoever_o a_o man_n die_v the_o common_a custom_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n yield_v this_o privilege_n to_o put_v their_o dead_a into_o the_o ground_n earth_n to_o earth_n there_o be_v none_o so_o barbarous_a as_o to_o deny_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n but_o that_o a_o dead_a man_n shall_v be_v bury_v stranger_n or_o foreigner_n or_o native_a inhabitant_n therefore_o i_o say_v a_o man_n will_v think_v that_o such_o a_o man_n as_o abraham_n may_v safe_o have_v venture_v upon_o this_o to_o bury_v sarah_n and_o never_o tell_v they_o and_o ask_v their_o

of_o estate_n he_o come_v to_o beg_v a_o grave_a he_o desire_v a_o bury_a place_n this_o shall_v teach_v we_o what_o ought_v to_o be_v our_o condition_n in_o this_o world_n not_o to_o be_v audacious_a and_o bold_a and_o presumptuous_a as_o common_o we_o be_v one_o upon_o another_o and_o even_o stranger_n themselves_o so_o forget_v themselves_o now_o adays_o that_o they_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o deprave_v and_o undermine_v and_o spoil_v and_o put_v native_n out_o of_o their_o possession_n they_o get_v to_o themselves_o such_o a_o impudence_n as_o be_v strange_a and_o none_o of_o the_o

that_o they_o can_v challenge_v they_o must_v come_v to_o it_o by_o the_o good_a will_n and_o consent_n of_o the_o party_n for_o stranger_n be_v not_o at_o home_n but_o to_o be_v send_v home_o to_o
