poverty_n and_o need_n than_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v shut_v up_o against_o he_o no_o man_n do_v pity_v he_o &_o all_o man_n will_v see_v and_o say_v that_o his_o own_o sin_n be_v bring_v upon_o he_o and_o this_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o prophet_n who_o do_v often_o threaten_v such_o kind_n of_o punishment_n to_o ungodly_a man_n so_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v say_v ah_o my_o father_n or_o ah_o my_o mother_n but_o the_o whole_a shall_v be_v glad_a of_o their_o departure_n this_o do_v the_o heathen_a people_n see_v in_o some_o part_n and_o therefore_o all_o of_o they_o do_v great_o desire_v a_o good_a name_n and_o as_o every_o one_o of_o they_o excel_v in_o strength_n and_o in_o courage_n or_o in_o wit_n or_o any_o kind_n of_o knowledge_n so_o they_o do_v labour_n by_o that_o thing_n to_o get_v some_o credit_n to_o themselves_o and_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n though_o a_o man_n have_v many_o good_a thing_n in_o he_o though_o a_o magistrate_n do_v fear_n god_n great_o though_o 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 in_o deed_n it_o be_v true_a which_o solomon_n say_v here_o that_o a_o good_a name_n be_v to_o be_v choose_v above_o great_a riches_n and_o that_o love_a favour_n be_v better_a than_o silver_n and_o gold_n now_o the_o instruction_n that_o we_o may_v gather_v out_o of_o this_o place_n be_v these_o two_o the_o fiirst_n 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 his_o good_a name_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o law_n 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 a_o other_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 and_o yet_o the_o good_a name_n of_o a_o man_n be_v more_o worth_a than_o all_o the_o riches_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 more_o and_o sin_v more_o gross_o &_o greevous_o then_o if_o he_o have_v take_v away_o his_o land_n and_o his_o lyvinge_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 he_o sin_v never_o the_o less_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 it_o be_v against_o a_o preacher_n or_o a_o professor_n of_o the_o truth_n than_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n because_o the_o very_a gospel_n of_o god_n be_v discredit_v thereby_o the_o second_o instruction_n be_v this_o 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 our_o own_o good_a name_n for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o discredit_v a_o other_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 of_o our_o brother_n then_o be_v we_o straight_o command_v to_o help_v forward_o our_o own_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v able_a than_o it_o can_v not_o be_v without_o great_a sin_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v cast_v off_o all_o care_n of_o his_o own_o credit_n the_o very_a heathen_a see_v this_o to_o be_v a_o fault_n &_o they_o do_v common_o say_v that_o who_o so_o ever_o regard_v not_o the_o report_n of_o man_n he_o be_v dissolute_a in_o deed_n and_o have_v in_o effect_n lose_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v well_o say_v that_o he_o be_v without_o all_o hope_n of_o amendment_n which_o be_v not_o bring_v to_o some_o remorse_n or_o sorrow_n which_o with_o a_o shameless_a face_n can_v face_v out_o sin_n and_o which_o have_v adder_n ear_n and_o will_v not_o hear_v charm_v the_o charmer_n never_o so_o wise_o as_o then_o a_o shameless_a face_n open_v a_o door_n to_o all_o ungodliness_n so_o due_a care_n of_o credit_n cause_v a_o man_n to_o be_v careful_a of_o his_o way_n who_o so_o ever_o therefore_o will_v live_v godly_a he_o must_v safe_o provide_v for_o his_o good_a name_n see_v these_o thing_n be_v so_o it_o be_v profitable_a to_o consider_v how_o this_o good_a name_n may_v be_v get_v and_o preserve_v and_o again_o if_o we_o be_v discredit_v what_o use_n and_o profit_n we_o must_v make_v of_o it_o for_o the_o first_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o see_v fame_n and_o honest_a report_n be_v good_a thing_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o arise_v and_o spring_v of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a as_o of_o virtue_n godliness_n &_o good_a religion_n now_o whereas_o here_o turk_n and_o such_o ungodly_a man_n have_v great_a favour_n among_o the_o people_n and_o be_v well_o report_v of_o this_o in_o deed_n be_v no_o good_a name_n because_o it_o arise_v not_o of_o goodness_n it_o be_v only_o a_o vain_a applause_n of_o the_o simple_a people_n nay_o it_o be_v the_o great_a and_o fierce_a wrath_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o though_o they_o neither_o see_v nor_o perceive_v that_o when_o they_o be_v well_o speak_v off_o for_o their_o evyll_n deed_n for_o by_o this_o mean_n they_o be_v hardon_v in_o their_o sin_n by_o this_o mean_v they_o be_v hinder_v and_o hold_v from_o repentance_n then_o the_o which_o there_o be_v not_o a_o great_a punishment_n under_o the_o sun_n such_o a_o name_n then_o be_v not_o to_o be_v desire_v nay_o we_o ought_v rather_o to_o pray_v against_o such_o a_o name_n and_o if_o we_o be_v famous_a and_o of_o good_a report_n then_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o seek_v it_o by_o goodness_n and_o virtue_n and_o then_o it_o be_v a_o good_a name_n in_o deed_n but_o let_v we_o weigh_v these_o thing_n more_o particular_o and_o let_v we_o know_v that_o the_o first_o step_n unto_o a_o good_a name_n be_v the_o careful_a and_o continual_a avoidance_n of_o evil_a both_o outward_a &_o inward_a in_o outward_a and_o gross_a evilles_n we_o must_v first_o beware_v of_o all_o evil_a general_n which_o thing_n if_o we_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o do_v then_o will_v our_o good_a name_n be_v soon_o impair_v second_o we_o must_v narow_o look_v unto_o some_o special_a sin_n whereunto_o our_o nature_n be_v most_o inclinable_a and_o subject_a for_o as_o one_o dead_a fly_n corrupt_v one_o whole_a box_n of_o ointment_n though_o it_o be_v most_o precious_a so_o some_o one_o sin_n do_v often_o crack_v the_o credit_n of_o a_o man_n though_o otherwise_o he_o have_v be_v well_o report_v off_o and_o if_o it_o behove_v all_o man_n thus_o near_o to_o look_v to_o their_o way_n then_o much_o more_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o every_o child_n of_o god_n shall_v do_v so_o for_o the_o world_n through_o the_o hatred_n it_o bear_v to_o they_o deal_v with_o they_o as_o it_o do_v with_o witch_n &_o physician_n the_o witch_n though_o she_o fail_v in_o twenty_o thing_n yet_o if_o she_o do_v some_o one_o thing_n aright_o though_o it_o be_v but_o small_a the_o world_n love_v and_o commend_v she_o for_o a_o good_a and_o a_o wise_a woman_n but_o the_o physician_n though_o he_o work_v five_o hundred_o cure_n yet_o if_o through_o the_o waywardness_n of_o his_o patient_n or_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o his_o patientes_fw-la sin_n he_o fail_v but_o in_o one_o that_o one_o fail_v do_v more_o turn_n to_o his_o discredit_n than_o his_o manifold_a goodly_a and_o notable_a cure_n do_v get_v he_o praise_v in_o this_o manner_n do_v the_o world_n deal_v with_o man_n if_o a_o worldly_a man_n have_v but_o a_o outward_a gift_n of_o strength_n of_o speech_n of_o comeliness_n he_o be_v great_o praise_v &_o count_v a_o goodly_a man_n though_o he_o swim_v and_o flow_v over_o in_o all_o manner_n of_o vice_n but_o let_v the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v true_o zealous_a in_o true_a religion_n let_v he_o be_v honest_a &_o holy_a in_o conversation_n yet_o if_o there_o be_v but_o some_o one_o infirmity_n in_o he_o or_o if_o he_o have_v through_o weakness_n fall_v once_o into_o some_o one_o sin_n that_o one_o infirmity_n against_o which_o he_o strive_v that_o one_o sin_n for_o the_o which_o he_o be_v greeve_v shall_v drown_v all_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o he_o be_v they_o never_o so_o great_a and_o the_o world_n will_v account_v he_o a_o most_o wicked_a man_n see_v then_o that_o this_o be_v the_o enmity_n of_o the_o world_n against_o god_n people_n how_o wary_o ought_v they_o to_o walk_v in_o so_o crooked_a and_o
