thus_o have_v i_o hitherto_o give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o some_o of_o the_o vulgar_a mistake_a principle_n of_o quiet_a which_o our_o student_n be_v first_o to_o unlearn_v which_o be_v all_o but_o the_o patch_v up_o of_o a_o false_a deceitful_a peace_n condemn_v in_o the_o politic_n under_o the_o name_n of_o a_o syncretismus_n when_o all_o the_o faction_n in_o crete_n join_v together_o in_o a_o

which_o the_o preface_n have_v raise_v of_o danger_n to_o we_o it_o have_v but_o one_o purpose_n but_o that_o be_v carry_v upon_o two_o proposition_n one_o general_n that_o whatsoever_o a_o man_n sow_n he_o shall_v reap_v the_o other_o particular_a of_o what_o shall_v be_v reap_v from_o the_o flesh_n or_o from_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o general_n i_o must_v confess_v it_o be_v a_o truth_n wherein_o few_o or_o none_o be_v deceive_v not_o any_o gardener_n or_o ploughman_n never_o so_o simple_a that_o look_v to_o reap_v what_o he_o have_v not_o sow_o god_n give_v that_o virtue_n in_o

particular_n where_o it_o touch_v our_o own_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n though_o it_o be_v as_o true_a as_o the_o general_n and_o must_v be_v so_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o yet_o because_o in_o this_o case_n it_o mix_v with_o our_o own_o interest_n and_o affection_n what_o we_o wish_v may_v not_o be_v true_a we_o be_v easy_o mislead_v to_o think_v it_o so_o to_o this_o therefore_o at_o least_o the_o caution_n in_o the_o preface_n be_v proper_a and_o necessary_a though_o not_o in_o the_o general_n for_o this_o reason_n i_o shall_v lay_v that_o aside_o as_o less_o liable_a to_o fraud_n and_o bestow_v our_o care_n at_o this_o time_n upon_o this_o to_o which_o the_o apostle_n direct_v he_o where_o we_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v deceive_v he_o that_o sow_v to_o the_o flesh_n etc._n etc._n and_o here_o our_o first_o care_n must_v be_v that_o we_o be_v not_o deceive_v in_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n which_o look_v so_o like_o a_o description_n of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o some_o expositor_n have_v take_v they_o for_o it_o and_o to_o be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o 2_o cor._n 5.10_o we_o shall_v all_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o christ_n

now_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o take_v not_o that_o sense_n in_o here_o be_v because_o the_o word_n will_v not_o fair_o bear_v it_o if_o it_o have_v be_v sow_v the_o sin_n and_o lust_n of_o the_o

〈◊〉_d and_o so_o must_v have_v another_o meaning_n and_o as_o the_o sow_v so_o the_o reap_v also_o differ_v from_o that_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o he_o that_o sow_n to_o the_o flesh_n
