they_o wax_v more_o negligent_a than_o they_o be_v before_o great_o dishonour_v god_n by_o their_o unthankfulnes_n and_o it_o may_v be_v the_o only_a fault_n of_o man_n if_o he_o be_v not_o help_v by_o his_o wife_n to_o grow_v in_o godliness_n for_o i_o think_v that_o even_o euah_n in_o note_n moan_v her_o husband_n adam_n to_o eat_v of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n have_v be_v a_o helper_n unto_o

the_o force_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o corruption_n of_o mankind_n come_v into_o the_o world_n by_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o man_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v rome_n 5._o as_o by_o one_o man_n

of_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v by_o one_o man_n jesus_n christ_n have_v abound_v unto_o many_o and_o in_o the_o 3._o of_o genesis_n we_o read_v that_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o authority_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v he_o over_o she_o which_o i_o will_v have_v you_o brother_n diligent_o to_o consider_v of_o and_o you_o my_o sister_n must_v take_v profit_n

a_o minister_n be_v excellent_a in_o many_o point_n though_o a_o physician_n or_o lawyer_n be_v skilful_a in_o their_o profession_n yet_o if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o good_a name_n they_o can_v do_v little_a good_a with_o their_o gift_n all_o this_o do_v teach_v we_o that_o indeed_o to_o be_v true_a which_o solomon_n here_o say_v that_o a_o good_a name_n be_v to_o be_v choose_v above_o great_a riches_n and_o love_a favour_n above_o silver_n and_o gold_n now_o the_o instruction_n which_o we_o may_v gather_v out_o of_o this_o place_n be_v chief_o two_o the_o first_o be_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o hurt_v our_o neighbour_n above_o all_o thing_n in_o their_o good_a name_n name_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o law_n have_v ordain_v that_o he_o which_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n shall_v have_v the_o same_o punishment_n which_o he_o purpose_v to_o bring_v upon_o another_o man_n will_v be_v loath_a to_o steal_v the_o good_n of_o any_o man_n from_o he_o &_o yet_o the_o name_n of_o a_o man_n be_v more_o worth_a than_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o if_o any_o man_n by_o raise_v up_o false_a report_n do_v impair_v his_o brother_n credit_n he_o do_v hurt_v he_o and_o sin_v more_o gross_o &_o more_o grievous_o than_o susanna_n if_o he_o have_v take_v away_o his_o land_n or_o his_o live_n his_o corn_n or_o his_o cattle_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v and_o though_o the_o thing_n be_v false_a which_o he_o report_v yet_o he_o sin_v nevertheless_o for_o after_o that_o time_n even_o good_a man_n will_v be_v more_o suspicious_a and_o the_o wicked_a will_v not_o let_v it_o go_v out_o of_o their_o mind_n but_o if_o this_o be_v against_o a_o preacher_n or_o professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o the_o sin_n be_v the_o great_a because_o god_n and_o his_o word_n become_v dishonour_v thereby_o the_o second_o instruction_n be_v that_o we_o must_v be_v careful_a by_o all_o good_a mean_n to_o get_v and_o maintain_v name_n our_o good_a name_n for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o discredit_v another_o man_n then_o much_o more_o be_v it_o a_o sin_n to_o discredit_v ourselves_o if_o we_o be_v charge_v to_o further_a the_o good_a name_n

and_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o easiness_n in_o hear_v we_o must_v needs_o hear_v the_o word_n another_o argument_n be_v this_o because_o when_o i_o call_v upon_o and_o stretch_v my_o arm_n daily_o
