we_o have_v occasion_n from_o this_o doctrine_n by_o the_o by_o to_o call_v upon_o poor_a sinner_n to_o come_v in_o to_o christ_n because_o their_o be_v such_o largeness_n and_o liberty_n and_o

among_o the_o saint_n let_v we_o agree_v upon_o clear_a undoubted_a rule_n that_o be_v not_o many_o about_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n about_o doctrine_n peace_n the_o way_n to_o peace_n &_o

chief_a thing_n i_o mourn_v for_o in_o england_n thing_n the_o devil_n put_v contrary_a name_n upon_o man_n etc._n etc._n thing_n what_o be_v that_o the_o devil_n do_v not_o only_o put_v soul_n name_n

about_o wear_v of_o white_a or_o black_a here_o the_o magistrate_n nor_o the_o church_n can_v determine_v because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o necessary_a indifferent_a thing_n for_o there_o be_v colour_n

if_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a indifferent_a thing_n they_o may_v urge_v it_o but_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o it_o therefore_o man_n must_v observe_v that_o rule_n or_o else_o they_o will_v

christian_a fall_v on_o a_o action_n he_o ask_v first_o be_v it_o lawful_a or_o unlawful_a he_o easy_o resolve_v that_o but_o he_o go_v far_o be_v it_o convenient_a do_v it_o tend_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n will_v any_o be_v better_o for_o it_o will_v my_o own_o soul_n be_v the_o better_a be_v it_o decent_a and_o it_o be_v six_o to_o one_o but_o he_o find_v it_o expedient_a and_o he_o consider_v the_o lawfulness_n no_o far_o that_o be_v go_v and_o a_o inexpedient_a action_n to_o a_o spiritual_a man_n it_o be_v as_o abominable_a as_o a_o action_n altogether_o unlawful_a therefore_o we_o see_v paul_n how_o resolute_o he_o speak_v of_o eat_v of_o flesh_n the_o earth_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o fullness_n thereof_o and_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o what_o be_v before_o you_o yet_o he_o say_v if_o eat_v of_o flesh_n offend_v my_o brother_n mark_v his_o high_a language_n i_o will_v never_o eat_v flesh_n while_o the_o world_n stand_v rather_o than_o i_o will_v offend_v my_o brother_n that_o be_v i_o will_v soon_o answer_v the_o case_n of_o conscience_n i_o will_v not_o trouble_v minister_n or_o myself_o about_o that_o weak_a christian_n not_o mind_v this_o they_o ask_v only_o be_v it_o lawful_a be_v it_o lawful_a to_o wear_v long_a hair_n be_v it_o lawful_a to_o play_v at_o table_n etc._n etc._n they_o go_v no_o far_o and_o so_o there_o come_v guilt_n upon_o their_o soul_n i_o hear_v once_o i_o speak_v it_o not_o with_o prejudice_n of_o some_o godly_a woman_n that_o be_v godly_a person_n of_o baptism_n doubt_v of_o they_o make_v great_a doubt_n of_o their_o

be_v another_o motive_n brief_o god_n mot._n 3._o he_o that_o eye_n not_o expediency_n can_v do_v much_o for_o god_n the_o three_o be_v this_o to_o persuade_v you_o to_o this_o for_o i_o fear_v many_o do_v not_o understand_v this_o and_o you_o be_v hardly_o bring_v to_o it_o because_o your_o heart_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o real_a principle_n of_o the_o gospel_n whereof_o this_o be_v one_o as_o

and_o then_o when_o you_o have_v put_v stress_n on_o they_o and_o break_v they_o you_o conclude_v there_o be_v no_o church_n nor_o no_o believer_n such_o a_o soul_n will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o

of_o sinner_n nor_o in_o strengthen_v of_o weak_a saint_n for_o in_o those_o two_o way_n be_v the_o great_a opportunity_n we_o have_v of_o honour_v god_n if_o you_o love_v i_o feed_v my_o lamb_n say_v christ_n he_o can_v do_v it_o why_o so_o endless_a 1._o they_o present_a religion_n to_o other_o as_o endless_a first_o because_o such_o a_o man_n or_o such_o a_o people_n that_o be_v set_v in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o many_o be_v in_o these_o day_n and_o many_o godly_a people_n they_o present_a religion_n to_o other_o always_o as_o a_o endless_a thing_n as_o a_o thing_n that_o have_v no_o end_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o persuade_v weak_a christian_n to_o be_v religious_a they_o look_v upon_o their_o religion_n as_o a_o bottomless_a pit_n as_o solomon_n say_v the_o lip_n of_o a_o

therefore_o they_o be_v ever_o wander_v they_o persuade_v we_o to_o be_v of_o this_o church_n and_o of_o this_o religion_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v safe_a say_v carnal_a man_n how_o earnest_a be_v they_o to_o have_v we_o be_v with_o they_o and_o two_o month_n ago_o they_o be_v as_o earnest_a for_o another_o and_o it_o may_v be_v two_o month_n hence_o they_o will_v be_v for_o another_o and_o so_o they_o run_v from_o they_o therefore_o in_o 2_o tim._n 4._o when_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o stir_n among_o the_o christian_n about_o genealogy_n and_o old_a wife_n tale_n and_o vain_a

not_o where_o to_o find_v they_o when_o paul_n will_v clear_v himself_o from_o a_o ill_a report_n they_o have_v of_o he_o among_o
to_o be_v find_v there_o to_o make_v it_o a_o little_a plain_o by_o a_o illustration_n suppose_v a_o gentleman_n in_o the_o country_n shall_v have_v a_o son_n and_o a_o servant_n both_o faithful_a as_o he_o judge_v and_o he_o shall_v send_v his_o servant_n into_o cheap_a side_n or_o some_o other_o market_n to_o buy_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o meat_n and_o spice_n and_o sugar_n and_o clothes_n and_o the_o like_a and_o he_o shall_v send_v his_o son_n with_o letter_n to_o the_o parliament_n with_o message_n to_o the_o committee_n of_o state_n they_o both_o go_v home_o they_o have_v both_o do_v their_o errand_n now_o shall_v that_o gentleman_n say_v that_o his_o son_n be_v unfaithful_a because_o he_o do_v not_o bring_v as_o much_o luggage_n home_o as_o the_o servant_n no_o it_o be_v the_o message_n of_o the_o servant_n to_o fetch_v luggage_n but_o it_o be_v the_o message_n of_o the_o son_n to_o deliver_v his_o message_n so_o the_o message_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v luggage_n to_o teach_v they_o endless_a external_a law_n and_o thing_n but_o the_o design_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n his_o message_n be_v to_o declare_v the_o sercret_a spiritual_a mysterye_n of_o his_o father_n to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o sense_n much_o less_o truth_n to_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v unfaithful_a because_o he_o have_v not_o as_o many_o curious_a tie_n in_o outward_a thing_n as_o moses_n so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o those_o objection_n .._o now_o brief_o to_o end_v all_o at_o this_o time_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n remain_v first_o to_o point_v out_o the_o hindrance_n that_o keep_v we_o from_o walk_v according_a to_o this_o truth_n and_o second_o to_o show_v you_o certain_a mean_n that_o may_v further_o you_o in_o it_o hindrance_n hindrance_n the_o hindrance_n be_v these_o four_o or_o five_o the_o one_o that_o you_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o engage_v yourselves_o with_o any_o party_n in_o religion_n beyond_o your_o own_o principle_n principle_n 1._o engagement_n in_o party_n beyond_o man_n principle_n religion_n be_v already_o in_o a_o faction_n among_o some_o saint_n man_n be_v ready_a to_o cry_v i_o be_o for_o paul_n and_o i_o be_o for_o apollo_n and_o i_o be_o for_o cephas_n now_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o persecute_v other_o by_o no_o mean_n but_o i_o will_v have_v you_o love_v all_o saint_n all_o that_o call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o a_o pure_a heart_n and_o honour_v all_o saint_n without_o faction_n but_o take_v heed_n of_o run_v into_o any_o of_o these_o party_n whatsoever_o beyond_o your_o own_o principle_n further_o than_o you_o have_v a_o clear_a light_n that_o you_o can_v answer_v comfortable_o for_o it_o at_o the_o last_o day_n before_o the_o lord_n hence_o be_v this_o run_n into_o faction_n that_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v thousand_o of_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o profess_v themselves_o now_o presbyterian_o that_o know_v not_o not_o understand_v what_o presbytery_n be_v man_n scarce_o know_v what_o they_o say_v and_o yet_o i_o be_o a_o presbyterian_a &_o run_v into_o faction_n so_o many_o in_o that_o way_n that_o you_o call_v independency_n that_o out_o of_o some_o motive_n of_o truth_n that_o they_o see_v in_o it_o &_o their_o good_a neighbour_n and_o friend_n that_o be_v of_o it_o they_o run_v a_o long_a in_o it_o and_o what_o follow_v when_o they_o come_v to_o suffer_v in_o death_n or_o the_o like_a case_n they_o either_o go_v back_o with_o shame_n and_o grieve_v their_o brethren_n or_o else_o they_o go_v on_o uncomfortable_o for_o that_o that_o they_o have_v not_o a_o seal_n to_o their_o conscience_n so_o now_o i_o may_v say_v in_o some_o measure_n that_o people_n general_o believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v as_o the_o faction_n that_o they_o join_v themselves_o to_o believe_v therefore_o beware_v of_o this_o this_o be_v not_o a_o time_n for_o man_n to_o see_v with_o other_o man_n eye_n try_v all_o thing_n &_o hold_v fast_o that_o which_o be_v good_a let_v every_o man_n prove_v his_o own_o work_n love_v all_o saint_n if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o they_o but_o walk_v not_o according_a to_o any_o man_n rule_n or_o principle_n far_o than_o god_n clear_v it_o to_o your_o soul_n prejudice_n 2._o look_v on_o thing_n with_o prejudice_n the_o second_o tâ—ing_n be_v this_o that_o if_o you_o will_v walk_v by_o rule_n take_v heed_n of_o look_v upon_o any_o thing_n truth_n or_o error_n with_o the_o eye_n of_o prejudice_n people_z look_v now_o a_o day_n upon_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v controvert_v especial_o every_o one_o have_v a_o glass_n before_o his_o eye_n one_o blue_a another_o red_a one_o look_n on_o a_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o shame_n and_o

profit_n and_o credit_n remove_v all_o these_o thing_n from_o any_o thing_n that_o you_o will_v judge_v aright_o of_o these_o be_v false_a glass_n therefore_o truth_n or_o error_n that_o that_o be_v most_o persecute_v in_o the_o world_n you_o must_v judge_v as_o if_o it_o have_v all_o the_o preferment_n and_o advancement_n in_o the_o world_n this_o i_o have_v often_o think_v those_o that_o shall_v come_v a_o hundred_o year_n hence_o that_o shall_v be_v godly_a if_o the_o world_n last_o so_o long_o will_v wonder_v at_o our_o folly_n and_o think_v we_o mad_a man_n in_o most_o of_o our_o

to_o judge_v of_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v as_o we_o have_v read_v of_o a_o controversy_n many_o year_n between_o the_o saint_n about_o keep_v of_o easter_n in_o the_o east_n and_o western_a church_n some_o will_v keep_v it_o at_o one_o time_n and_o some_o at_o another_o we_o think_v they_o be_v mad_a to_o strive_v about_o it_o and_o it_o have_v be_v no_o matter_n if_o it_o have_v never_o be_v

to_o say_v sir_n i_o go_v according_a to_o the_o scripure_a the_o word_n say_v this_o and_o this_o proposition_n say_v so_o but_o ask_v godly_a man_n how_o much_o precept_n and_o example_n go_v to_o

there_o we_o know_v sometime_o what_o be_v right_a by_o the_o judge_n opinion_n sometime_o by_o parallel_n case_n sometime_o by_o expediency_n now_o you_o say_v let_v such_o a_o man_n bring_v i_o

remember_v the_o great_a misery_n to_o a_o honest_a heart_n next_o to_o a_o old_a testament_n spirit_n that_o be_v the_o rise_n of_o all_o be_v this_o a_o misdrawing_a of_o rule_n out_o of_o the_o
