VVhereunto is added good newes from heaven; to the worst of sinners on earth. The former in nine sermons on 1 Cor. 10. 23. All things are lawfull for me, but all things are not expeaient.

comparrison_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n yet_o i_o may_v say_v of_o outward_a thing_n as_o far_o as_o christ_n have_v enjoin_v they_o as_o christ_n say_v of_o tthe_a mint_n and_o annise_v when_o he_o speak_v of_o righteousness_n these_o thing_n ought_v you_o to_o have_v one_o but_o the_o other_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v leave_v undo_v so_o this_o be_v the_o main_a work_n for_o a_o christian_n to_o do_v and_o it_o be_v bless_v to_o see_v a_o saint_n make_v that_o his_o main_a study_n but_o if_o god_n make_v law_n and_o give_v command_n about_o external_a thing_n outward_a thing_n i_o must_v not_o neglect_v that_o neither_o it_o be_v as_o one_o observe_v as_o with_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o world_n they_o both_o see_v the_o misery_n but_o the_o saint_n begin_v to_o study_v the_o cause_n of_o contention_n and_o the_o old_a say_n be_v happy_a be_v he_o that_o know_v the_o cause_n contention_n one_o cause_n of_o contention_n one_o main_a cause_n of_o contention_n among_o we_o be_v god_n come_v now_o with_o more_o light_n than_o we_o have_v before_o we_o have_v more_o and_o more_o but_o this_o light_n be_v not_o a_o full_a light_n i_o mean_v thus_o this_o light_n come_v and_o shine_v but_o in_o part_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o we_o that_o be_v we_o see_v part_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o part_n we_o see_v not_o and_o while_o we_o learn_v one_o part_n we_o forget_v another_o part_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v ordinary_a among_o christian_n while_o they_o learn_v faith_n and_o justification_n they_o forget_v purity_n and_o holiness_n while_o they_o learn_v church-discipline_n they_o forget_v godliness_n while_o they_o learn_v holiness_n within_o they_o forget_v obedience_n without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n of_o people_n now_o a_o day_n as_o the_o sun_n shine_v on_o the_o earth_n how_o be_v that_o you_o know_v when_o the_o sun_n shine_v in_o our_o horizon_n it_o do_v not_o shine_v to_o the_o other_o end_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v night_n with_o they_o when_o it_o be_v day_n with_o we_o so_o when_o the_o light_n show_v one_o thing_n another_o truth_n be_v lose_v and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o division_n light_n be_v come_v but_o it_o be_v not_o a_o full_a light_n it_o reveal_v not_o all_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o teach_v one_o one_o thing_n and_o another_o another_z we_o see_v not_o all_o together_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n wherein_o man_n mistake_v though_o i_o much_o commend_v they_o for_o their_o prize_v of_o spiritual_a thing_n yet_o if_o their_o be_v a_o real_a command_n of_o god_n in_o outward_a thing_n i_o humble_o beseech_v you_o that_o you_o will_v not_o disdain_v and_o despise_v it_o that_o be_v all_o i_o have_v to_o say_v to_o they_o there_o be_v a_o second_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o mistake_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n law_n 2_o those_o that_o abolish_v the_o moral_n law_n and_o make_v the_o rule_n wide_o than_o it_o be_v those_o that_o go_v far_o than_o those_o that_o be_v that_o do_v not_o only_o slight_a external_a worship_n &_o government_n etc._n etc._n as_o far_o as_o god_n have_v lay_v it_o down_o but_o break_v down_o the_o pale_n even_o to_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n and_o think_v that_o the_o way_n be_v now_o so_o wide_o that_o even_o the_o ten_o commandment_n that_o the_o moral_a law_n itself_o be_v do_v away_o there_o be_v some_o conceive_v so_o but_o concern_v that_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o subject_n that_o i_o can_v prove_v more_o full_o with_o strong_a argument_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o nor_o myself_o now_o and_o i_o show_v before_o how_o christ_n come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o moral_a law_n neither_o for_o that_o use_n that_o paul_n make_v of_o it_o to_o reveal_v sin_n to_o make_v we_o esteem_v of_o christ_n or_o to_o be_v a_o light_n the_o spirit_n be_v within_o for_o they_o be_v not_o contradictory_n as_o some_o simple_o think_v and_o speak_v but_o the_o spirit_n within_o and_o the_o law_n without_o be_v a_o lantern_n only_o the_o damnation_n be_v go_v but_o there_o be_v other_o motive_n to_o obey_v it_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v but_o the_o law_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o pass_v so_o now_o you_o see_v two_o sort_n and_o i_o hope_v if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o here_o that_o they_o will_v also_o take_v their_o share_n for_o if_o every_o one_o will_v here_o with_o humility_n and_o take_v his_o part_n i_o hope_v there_o will_v soon_o be_v a_o end_n of_o most_o of_o our_o contention_n the_o three_o sort_n go_v far_o than_o those_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n spirit_n 3_o those_o that_o allow_v outward_a profaneness_n &_o only_o serve_v god_n in_o their_o spirit_n they_o make_v it_o so_o broad_a this_o all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a that_o not_o only_o in_o point_n of_o government_n or_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o those_o that_o hold_v against_o the_o moral_a law_n they_o hold_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v the_o thing_n but_o not_o upon_o the_o same_o motive_n they_o hold_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o be_v whoremonger_n and_o drunkard_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o three_o sort_n say_v if_o we_o worship_v god_n in_o our_o spirit_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n what_o we_o do_v with_o our_o body_n we_o may_v worship_n god_n in_o our_o spirit_n and_o go_v to_o mass_n and_o do_v any_o thing_n the_o body_n be_v but_o as_o a_o tool_n in_o a_o carpenter_n hand_n it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o while_n to_o confute_v those_o i_o can_v give_v many_o reason_n to_o the_o contrary_n christ_n have_v redeem_v soul_n and_o body_n therefore_o we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o both_o and_o you_o know_v the_o soul_n and_o body_n that_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n shall_v be_v damn_v the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o therefore_o the_o body_n have_v need_v to_o look_v to_o it_o as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n and_o we_o be_v command_v to_o bear_v witness_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n how_o can_v we_o do_v it_o if_o the_o body_n may_v do_v any_o thing_n we_o need_v never_o suffer_v persecution_n as_o all_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n must_v if_o i_o will_v be_v content_a to_o serve_v christ_n in_o my_o soul_n only_o i_o will_v not_o suffer_v persecution_n i_o will_v go_v to_o mass_n and_o swear_v and_o be_v drink_v etc._n etc._n again_o we_o be_v call_v to_o be_v like_o christ_n and_o he_o be_v holy_a in_o soul_n and_o body_n how_o can_v we_o be_v like_o he_o if_o we_o will_v be_v holy_a in_o our_o soul_n only_o and_o not_o in_o our_o body_n nay_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v that_o be_v if_o the_o soul_n be_v holy_a the_o body_n will_v be_v so_o too_o if_o there_o be_v wickedness_n in_o the_o heart_n there_o must_v be_v wickedness_n in_o the_o body_n and_o if_o there_o be_v holiness_n in_o the_o soul_n there_o will_v be_v also_o in_o the_o body_n if_o any_o hold_v a_o opinion_n to_o make_v contention_n by_o it_o let_v they_o take_v it_o as_o a_o admonition_n from_o the_o lord_n to_o consider_v what_o they_o do_v thus_o you_o see_v the_o error_n on_o the_o lefthand_n as_o i_o desire_v power_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o tell_v you_o what_o think_v so_o i_o desire_v that_o you_o will_v endeavour_v to_o understand_v the_o error_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n be_v contrary_a to_o this_o hand_n 2_o error_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n when_o as_o paul_n say_v all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a as_o the_o one_o make_v it_o universal_a that_o every_o thing_n be_v lawful_a so_o the_o other_o make_v nothing_o lawful_a almost_o my_o meaning_n be_v this_o they_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n have_v a_o old_a testament_n spirit_n mark_v that_o word_n for_o from_o thence_o be_v the_o contention_n have_v a_o spirit_n not_o suitable_a to_o the_o new_a testament_n though_o mistake_v i_o not_o they_o differ_v but_o in_o degree_n chief_o and_o principal_o they_o make_v law_n and_o tie_n and_o bond_n and_o knot_n and_o knack_n and_o many_o ridiculous_a thing_n to_o tie_v and_o bind_v themselves_o where_o christ_n jesus_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v not_o bind_v they_o and_o hence_o come_v chief_o the_o contention_n and_o controversy_n of_o these_o time_n between_o two_o sort_n of_o people_n you_o know_v who_o they_o be_v though_o i_o constant_o conceive_v that_o in_o the_o thing_n themselves_o the_o one_o may_v be_v in_o when_o the_o other_o be_v out_o and_o the_o other_o may_v be_v in_o when_o they_o be_v out_o the_o one_o party_n may_v be_v in_o in_o something_n &_o the_o other_o may_v be_v in_o when_o they_o be_v wrong_v in_o something_n yet_o though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o

to_o one_o that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o never_o will_v be_v we_o strive_v about_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v a_o great_a way_n off_o it_o be_v a_o hundred_o to_o one_o if_o any_o of_o we_o ever_o come_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o we_o strive_v for_o we_o all_o agree_v there_o shall_v be_v a_o company_n of_o saint_n a_o company_n of_o visible_a believer_n and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v power_n in_o the_o church_n to_o order_n and_o govern_v thing_n that_o the_o church_n shall_v determine_v as_o it_o do_v in_o jerusalem_n let_v we_o go_v so_o far_o let_v we_o have_v church_n reform_v and_o set_v the_o power_n in_o they_o and_o let_v they_o rule_v &_o then_o if_o there_o be_v occasion_n for_o people_n to_o appeal_v god_n will_v either_o open_a man_n eye_n or_o else_o in_o expediency_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v by_o and_o by_o they_o shall_v be_v direct_v but_o we_o strive_v as_o i_o tell_v you_o as_o if_o you_o and_o i_o shall_v strive_v who_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o gate_n of_o venice_n first_o and_o we_o know_v not_o whether_o either_o of_o we_o shall_v come_v there_o we_o strive_v about_o to_o morrow_n we_o have_v present_a misery_n enough_o we_o need_v not_o strive_v about_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o come_v ten_o year_n hence_o and_o it_o may_v be_v will_v never_o come_v we_o be_v fool_n be_v we_o sure_a that_o the_o kingdom_n will_v stand_v or_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o life_n and_o yet_o we_o go_v and_o strive_v about_o a_o nick_n that_o be_v the_o far_a of_o all_o thing_n whereas_o as_o for_o outward_a thing_n sufficient_a for_o the_o day_n be_v the_o grief_n thereof_o go_v on_o in_o love_n and_o when_o it_o come_v to_o that_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o light_n this_o be_v the_o great_a indiscretion_n in_o england_n to_o strive_v about_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v never_o like_a to_o come_v to_o pass_v have_v 4._o because_o neither_o side_n can_v prove_v what_o they_o will_v have_v four_o and_o last_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o strife_n because_o as_o the_o presbyterial_a godly_a man_n they_o can_v nor_o will_v prove_v such_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v a_o absolute_a rule_n for_o all_o the_o church_n and_o for_o all_o saint_n say_v there_o be_v such_o a_o rule_n in_o act_n 15._o do_v it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n for_o all_o church_n and_o for_o all_o saint_n why_o do_v we_o not_o also_o sell_v our_o

never_o will_v a_o absolute_a rule_n to_o bind_v all_o the_o saint_n through_o the_o world_n to_o do_v so_o so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o independent_o can_v prove_v but_o it_o may_v be_v expedient_a in_o divers_a case_n therefore_o the_o one_o seem_v to_o act_v necessary_o the_o other_o probable_o to_o be_v expedient_a by_o right_a reason_n and_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n if_o a_o church_n can_v agree_v among_o themselves_o and_o what_o cause_n of_o strife_n be_v there_o in_o this_o suppose_v one_o shall_v say_v to_o i_o come_v out_o of_o that_o house_n or_o else_o you_o will_v be_v destroy_v the_o house_n will_v fall_v upon_o you_o i_o believe_v not_o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n but_o i_o think_v it_o be_v expedient_a because_o the_o house_n be_v old_a he_o think_v it_o be_v of_o necessity_n and_o i_o think_v it_o expedient_a be_v there_o any_o cause_n of_o strife_n in_o this_o so_o put_v these_o together_o and_o see_v how_o we_o be_v delude_v by_o the_o devil_n and_o our_o own_o heart_n to_o make_v strife_n about_o a_o thing_n that_o may_v never_o be_v therefore_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o it_o but_o that_o i_o may_v satisfy_v you_o a_o little_a more_o you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v there_o no_o more_o difference_n between_o presbyterian_o and_o independent_o i_o have_v hear_v that_o there_o be_v more_o difference_n between_o they_o than_o between_o the_o cavaleir_n and_o the_o other_o party_n that_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o cut_v one_o another_o throat_n if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o between_o they_o how_o come_v this_o contention_n among_o they_o i_o think_v of_o all_o the_o contention_n that_o ever_o be_v among_o the_o saint_n from_o christ_n time_n till_o now_o there_o be_v never_o such_o a_o mystery_n in_o any_o contention_n as_o there_o be_v in_o this_o and_o but_o that_o i_o will_v not_o take_v up_o so_o much_o time_n i_o can_v go_v near_o to_o open_v this_o mystery_n how_o the_o devil_n and_o our_o own_o heart_n have_v get_v the_o strange_a mystery_n to_o set_v the_o saint_n together_o by_o the_o ear_n that_o ever_o be_v but_o i_o can_v stay_v upon_o that_o but_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v you_o know_v a_o little_a spark_n will_v bring_v a_o great_a flame_n a_o little_a contention_n be_v as_o the_o let_v out_o of_o water_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o

for_o i_o but_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o exdient_a the_o last_o lesson_n from_o these_o word_n be_v this_o that_o a_o christian_a under_o the_o new-testament_n ought_v not_o only_o to_o eye_n what_o be_v lawful_a what_o be_v absolute_o command_v or_o forbid_v but_o to_o eye_n also_o what_o be_v expedient_a and_o what_o be_v inexpedient_a what_o be_v convenient_a and_o what_o be_v inconvenient_a what_o edify_v and_o what_o edify_v not_o we_o open_v this_o to_o you_o and_o come_v to_o a_o use_n where_o we_o be_v at_o this_o time_n to_o exhort_v you_o that_o this_o may_v sink_v into_o your_o heart_n to_o wit_n that_o you_o will_v not_o make_v law_n to_o yourselves_o in_o the_o new-testament_n where_o christ_n have_v not_o bind_v you_o and_o where_o christ_n have_v leave_v you_o free_a and_o have_v not_o determine_v thing_n second_o i_o exhort_v you_o that_o you_o will_v be_v careful_a and_o vigilant_a and_o wise_a to_o take_v notice_n in_o all_o thing_n what_o be_v expedient_a and_o to_o do_v the_o same_o and_o to_o press_v it_o on_o you_o we_o propose_v one_o motive_n to_o you_o which_o be_v the_o main_a drift_n of_o all_o the_o discourse_n we_o intend_v upon_o this_o scripture_n to_o wit_n that_o this_o be_v the_o ready_a way_n of_o peace_n and_o to_o end_v strife_n and_o contention_n among_o the_o saint_n now_o how_o that_o be_v i_o have_v open_v to_o you_o as_o i_o be_v able_a and_o so_o finish_v it_o this_o morning_n now_o to_o set_v it_o on_o a_o little_a more_o upon_o your_o soul_n not_o to_o repeat_v any_o thing_n there_o be_v two_o or_o three_o word_n more_o that_o may_v stir_v you_o up_o consider_v it_o for_o i_o know_v it_o be_v a_o harsh_a truth_n to_o many_o of_o your_o ear_n i_o fear_v you_o have_v many_o prejudices_fw-la against_o it_o but_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v it_o well_o it_o be_v of_o great_a consequence_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o master_n stone_n in_o your_o foundation_n i_o mean_v in_o your_o walk_n and_o conversation_n towards_o man_n at_o least_o i_o say_v therefore_o i_o will_v add_v certain_a motive_n more_o and_o as_o the_o first_o be_v the_o way_n to_o peace_n among_o the_o saint_n to_o end_v controversy_n that_o be_v among_o they_o self_n motive_n 2._o the_o way_n to_o peace_n in_o a_o man_n self_n so_o second_o it_o be_v a_o way_n to_o peace_n a_o way_n to_o end_v the_o controversy_n of_o a_o christian_a with_o himself_o for_o belove_v i_o dare_v say_v and_o i_o be_o able_a to_o make_v it_o good_a and_o have_v know_v it_o by_o experience_n in_o other_o saint_n that_o the_o most_o of_o your_o guilt_n and_o the_o most_o of_o your_o trouble_n that_o be_v within_o you_o christian_n most_o of_o the_o guilt_n on_o christian_n it_o arise_v not_o from_o do_v of_o thing_n simple_o sinful_a or_o neglect_v thing_n simple_o command_v but_o from_o some_o disorderly_a do_v of_o lawful_a thing_n and_o that_o be_v two_o way_n heart_n 1._o do_v lawful_a thing_n with_o common_a heart_n either_o that_o you_o do_v lawful_a thing_n as_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o sleep_v and_o divers_a other_o thing_n with_o common_a heart_n and_o eye_v not_o god_n in_o the_o do_n of_o they_o you_o do_v they_o in_o a_o carnal_a fashion_n without_o holiness_n for_o we_o must_v be_v holy_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o conversation_n you_o be_v not_o holy_a when_o you_o be_v eat_v you_o have_v not_o a_o holy_a frame_n of_o soul_n when_o you_o be_v sleep_v therefore_o your_o sleep_n and_o your_o meat_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n they_o produce_v a_o world_n of_o guilt_n and_o trouble_v you_o do_v they_o with_o common_a heart_n as_o the_o pharisee_n say_v the_o disciple_n eat_v with_o common_a hand_n inexpedient_o 2._o do_v lawful_a thing_n inexpedient_o or_o else_o second_o it_o be_v from_o do_v lawful_a thing_n inexpedient_o you_o eye_v not_o what_o be_v expedient_a meat_n and_o drink_v and_o sleep_v and_o talk_v and_o walk_v and_o clothes_n and_o recreation_n they_o be_v lawful_a but_o in_o all_o these_o you_o look_v not_o what_o be_v expedient_a and_o i_o mean_v not_o only_o beloved_n those_o civil_a thing_n that_o i_o name_v to_o you_o but_o also_o in_o religious_a thing_n wherein_o god_n have_v not_o determine_v you_o make_v law_n to_o yourselves_o and_o then_o you_o fail_v in_o keep_v of_o those_o law_n as_o usual_o when_o god_n see_v man_n make_v law_n to_o themselves_o let_v they_o keep_v they_o themselves_o if_o they_o will_v it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n not_o to_o give_v power_n to_o keep_v law_n that_o be_v not_o of_o his_o own_o make_n make_v god_n will_v not_o give_v strength_n to_o keep_v law_n that_o he_o have_v not_o make_v god_n will_v not_o help_v you_o you_o make_v law_n i_o say_v and_o you_o have_v no_o strength_n to_o keep_v they_o and_o then_o there_o arise_v a_o world_n of_o guilt_n and_o trouble_v as_o thus_o god_n command_v we_o to_o pray_v always_o to_o be_v earnest_a in_o prayer_n to_o read_v the_o word_n to_o teach_v our_o child_n to_o help_v our_o neighbour_n to_o do_v good_a to_o their_o soul_n and_o body_n now_o you_o have_v make_v a_o law_n that_o you_o will_v pray_v in_o your_o family_n so_o oft_o and_o pray_v private_o so_o oft_o and_o read_v so_o many_o chapter_n a_o day_n and_o keep_v so_o many_o day_n of_o humiliation_n once_o a_o week_n or_o so_o here_o be_v a_o law_n of_o your_o own_o make_n i_o say_v not_o but_o it_o be_v expedient_a to_o do_v so_o sometime_o and_o many_o time_n but_o you_o make_v it_o a_o absolute_a law_n that_o when_o god_n come_v and_o call_v you_o to_o another_o thing_n contrary_a to_o your_o law_n whence_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n in_o christian_n whence_o than_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o guilt_n and_o horror_n on_o your_o soul_n as_o for_o instance_n you_o make_v a_o law_n that_o you_o will_v pray_v twice_o before_o you_o go_v forth_o every_o morning_n private_o and_o in_o your_o family_n and_o it_o be_v a_o good_a course_n if_o thing_n be_v according_a because_o
