that_o nation_n there_o be_v still_o some_o among_o they_o that_o as_o a_o remnant_n be_v to_o be_v gain_v to_o christianity_n and_o therefore_o while_o there_o be_v ground_n to_o hope_v for_o that_o they_o go_v on_o in_o that_o condescension_n to_o their_o infirmity_n observe_v that_o very_o low_a which_o be_v then_o maintain_v by_o the_o jew_n with_o the_o high_a insolence_n and_o cruelty_n possible_a against_o christ_n and_o his_o follower_n when_o this_o point_n be_v well_o weigh_v in_o its_o full_a extent_n and_o in_o all_o its_o consequence_n it_o will_v i_o hope_v satisfy_v many_o how_o far_o so_o great_a a_o end_n as_o the_o public_a peace_n and_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n aught_o to_o be_v pursue_v when_o the_o apostle_n go_v so_o far_o in_o order_n to_o the_o gain_n of_o a_o few_o and_o here_o it_o will_v be_v no_o impertinent_a digression_n to_o observe_v the_o rule_n that_o st._n paul_n lay_v down_o to_o christian_n in_o this_o whole_a matter_n i_o can_v think_v that_o it_o be_v so_o full_o open_v in_o epistle_n that_o have_v be_v preserve_v down_o to_o our_o day_n as_o a_o main_a part_n of_o the_o canon_n of_o our_o faith_n without_o a_o special_a providence_n of_o god_n that_o in_o those_o rule_n we_o may_v see_v our_o own_o duty_n in_o the_o management_n of_o such_o controversy_n as_o shall_v afterward_o arise_v since_o beside_o a_o historical_a knowledge_n of_o the_o state_n of_o that_o time_n this_o be_v all_o the_o use_n that_o it_o seem_v we_o can_v now_o make_v of_o such_o long_a discourse_n and_o arguing_n and_o if_o this_o can_v be_v well_o state_v it_o will_v be_v a_o sure_a thread_n to_o guide_v we_o first_o then_o st._n paul_n lead_v man_n above_o the_o value_v such_o matter_n too_o much_o as_o if_o the_o be_v of_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o side_n signify_v any_o thing_n towards_o their_o peace_n with_o god_n for_o all_o fierce_a zealot_n be_v apt_a to_o imagine_v that_o by_o their_o zeal_n they_o please_v god_n and_o atone_v for_o great_a fault_n therefore_o to_o take_v away_o that_o false_a conceit_n this_o be_v often_o repeat_v that_o in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n nor_o uncircumcision_n a_o veil_a any_o thing_n 15._o but_o a_o new_a creature_n or_o faith_n which_o work_v by_o love_n and_o the_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n 17._o or_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n consist_v not_o in_o meat_n and_o drink_n that_o be_v in_o ritual_n concern_v the_o distinction_n of_o meat_n clean_a and_o unclean_a but_o in_o much_o high_a thing_n 18._o righteousness_n peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o he_o seem_v to_o assert_v that_o whosoever_o serve_v christ_n in_o these_o thing_n be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v approve_v of_o man_n 5._o whatsoever_o his_o sense_n may_v be_v as_o to_o all_o other_o thing_n another_o position_n lay_v down_o be_v that_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o he_o full_o persuade_v in_o his_o own_o mind_n to_o have_v clear_a principle_n and_o to_o frame_v these_o into_o as_o distinct_a rule_n as_o possible_o he_o can_v and_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o do_v all_o thing_n in_o faith_n which_o word_n signify_v persuasion_n and_o aught_o to_o have_v be_v so_o render_v here_o 23._o and_o then_o all_o those_o difficulty_n that_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o misunderstanding_n of_o that_o word_n will_v cease_v so_o that_o the_o paraphrase_n of_o those_o so_o oftencit_v word_n will_v run_v thus_o have_v thou_o a_o persuasion_n have_v it_o within_o thyself_o so_o that_o then_o may_v appeal_v to_o god_n upon_o it_o for_o happy_a be_v the_o man_n that_o be_v so_o settle_a that_o he_o do_v not_o waver_v in_o a_o distraction_n of_o thought_n sometime_o approve_v and_o at_o other_o time_n condemn_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o while_o a_o man_n be_v still_o doupt_v he_o be_v condemn_v within_o himself_o for_o instance_n if_o he_o eat_v

clear_a principle_n and_o persuasion_n for_o while_o a_o man_n act_n without_o these_o not_o know_v but_o that_o he_o may_v be_v sin_v against_o god_n he_o do_v then_o real_o sin_n since_o he_o do_v thing_n which_o he_o think_v be_v sin_n so_o that_o they_o become_v sin_n to_o he_o this_o be_v a_o plain_a account_n of_o those_o word_n which_o as_o it_o agree_v exact_o to_o their_o natural_a

relate_v to_o private_a man_n behaviour_n towards_o

the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v enervate_v the_o whole_a ancient_a discipline_n and_o have_v turn_v it_o all_o to_o be_v a_o secret_a practice_n between_o the_o priest_n and_o the_o penitent_a in_o

sudden_a this_o church_n can_v not_o be_v bring_v back_o to_o the_o primitive_a constitution_n though_o we_o see_v that_o our_o reformer_n do_v sincere_o intend_v it_o and_o prepare_v a_o model_n for_o it_o but_o our_o bad_a circumstance_n have_v make_v that_o this_o great_a and_o good_a design_n can_v never_o be_v effect_v since_o that_o time_n for_o which_o we_o still_o continue_v to_o

who_o fail_v in_o their_o duty_n and_o one_o of_o the_o best_a and_o most_o effectual_a answer_n that_o we_o can_v make_v to_o this_o prejudice_n be_v to_o endeavour_v to_o do_v in_o this_o point_n what_o lie_v in_o we_o towards_o the_o instruct_v and_o confirm_v the_o youth_n as_o for_o the_o scandal_n of_o man_n life_n much_o more_o certain_o may_v be_v do_v both_o in_o the_o way_n of_o

for_o watch_v over_o those_o that_o be_v commit_v to_o our_o care_n for_o correct_v their_o manner_n for_o make_v the_o incorrigible_a ashamed_a and_o for_o cut_v off_o corrupt_a and_o gangrene_v

and_o this_o though_o it_o be_v now_o esteem_v the_o least_o considerable_a of_o all_o the_o exception_n make_v against_o we_o yet_o be_v that_o which_o first_o begin_v those_o unhappy_a dispute_n that_o have_v since_o increase_v so_o fatal_o upon_o we_o the_o chief_a thing_n stand_v upon_o at_o first_o be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o compliance_n with_o the_o supestition_n of_o popery_n but_o that_o have_v be_v consider_v already_o to_o which_o i_o shall_v in_o this_o place_n only_o add_v this_o one_o consideration_n more_o to_o justify_v those_o compliance_n in_o matter_n that_o be_v in_o

of_o purity_n and_o innocence_n it_o be_v natural_a for_o the_o primitive_a christian_n both_o to_o put_v such_o as_o be_v new_o baptize_v in_o white_a and_o also_o to_o have_v divine_a office_n perform_v by_o person_n habit_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n it_o be_v true_a popery_n have_v bring_v in_o much_o superstition_n upon_o all_o this_o the_o several_a parcel_n of_o the_o habit_n be_v

only_o for_o the_o decency_n of_o worship_n in_o compliance_n with_o ancient_a practice_n they_o retain_v the_o habit_n themselves_o and_o since_o the_o great_a body_n of_o those_o who_o divide_v
