poor_a man_n may_v have_v some_o pretence_n to_o shadow_v it_o they_o come_v with_o a_o religious_a pretence_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o because_o he_o have_v be_v so_o long_a time_n sick_a may_v be_v ignorant_a of_o what_o shall_v be_v do_v of_o the_o sabbath_n but_o now_o in_o that_o they_o persecute_v christ_n also_o by_o who_o authority_n this_o man_n have_v do_v it_o and_o of_o who_o

the_o nature_n of_o malice_n at_o length_n to_o show_v itself_o like_o poison_n in_o a_o man_n body_n and_o fire_n that_o will_v not_o long_o lie_v hide_v this_o appear_v in_o papist_n who_o

here_o 1._o the_o effect_n which_o be_v two_o fold_n first_o they_o do_v persecute_v second_o they_o seek_v to_o slay_v christ_n 2._o the_o reason_n of_o it_o here_o first_o mark_v the_o inference_n how_o this_o be_v bring_v in_o upon_o the_o former_a the_o action_n of_o the_o man_n be_v good_a and_o commendable_a viz._n to_o preach_v christ_n yet_o therefore_o do_v they_o persecute_v christ_n hence_o the_o doctrine_n be_v wicked_a and_o malicious_a man_n may_v take_v occasion_n from_o good_a and_o commend_v able_a action_n to_o bring_v to_o pass_v many_o mischievous_a work_n as_o be_v

to_o censure_v the_o action_n of_o man_n though_o some_o evil_n and_o mischief_n be_v raise_v thereupon_o by_o wicked_a man_n but_o to_o consider_v the_o action_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a and_o

but_o to_o have_v christ_n crucify_v reason_n and_o ground_n of_o it_o be_v as_o a_o immortal_a hatred_n and_o unsatiable_a desire_n of_o blood_n so_o also_o a_o secret_a fear_n that_o wicked_a man_n
