1._o a_o spirit_n of_o contentation_n with_o that_o estate_n and_o condition_n in_o which_o god_n have_v place_v every_o member_n of_o the_o church_n for_o as_o it_o tend_v to_o schism_n in_o the_o natural_a body_n if_o the_o foot_n shall_v envy_v the_o hand_n or_o the_o ear_n the_o eye_n or_o any_o of_o the_o member_n the_o head_n if_o the_o foot_n shall_v say_v why_o shall_v i_o bear_v the_o

partake_v with_o the_o eye_n in_o its_o more_o honourable_a and_o easy_a employment_n of_o speculation_n so_o in_o the_o spiritual_a body_n if_o one_o member_n emulate_v or_o envy_v another_o the_o subject_a the_o prince_n the_o presbyter_n the_o bishop_n it_o must_v necessary_o cause_v a_o cleave_a or_o schism_n in_o the_o build_n which_o may_v ruin_v the_o whole_a for_o as_o in_o material_a building_n all_o open_n be_v weakning_n and_o therefore_o skilful_a bvilder_n advise_v that_o door_n and_o window_n be_v as_o few_o in_o number_n and_o as_o moderate_v in_o dimension_n as_o may_v be_v a_o spirit_n of_o contentation_n therefore_o be_v of_o a_o primary_n necessity_n to_o the_o preservation_n of_o union_n 2._o a_o mutual_a communication_n of_o particular_a faculty_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a for_o as_o the_o foot_n in_o the_o natural_a body_n can_v refuse_v to_o walk_v the_o hand_n to_o work_v or_o the_o eye_n to_o see_v without_o the_o apparent_a prejudice_n of_o the_o whole_a no_o more_o can_v any_o member_n in_o the_o spiritual_a fabric_n withhold_v his_o particular_a ability_n from_o the_o rest_n without_o their_o detriment_n and_o suffer_a loss_n by_o it_o as_o when_o the_o member_n in_o the_o fable_n conspire_v to_o withhold_v nourishment_n from_o the_o belly_n they_o conspire_v but_o their_o own_o ruin_n in_o weaken_v it_o and_o as_o they_o observe_v in_o architecture_n it_o be_v a_o notorious_a soloecism_n to_o weaken_v that_o part_n which_o must_v strengthen_v all_o the_o rest_n but_o when_o every_o member_n communicate_v its_o particular_a faculty_n the_o foot_n walk_v the_o hands_z work_n the_o eye_n see_v the_o ear_n hear_v the_o tongue_n speak_v this_o tend_v to_o the_o union_n of_o the_o whole_a with_o the_o advantage_n of_o welfare_n to_o the_o particular_a member_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v consider_v the_o christian_a church_n as_o a_o spiritual_a house_n whence_o this_o inference_n natural_o may_v be_v draw_v viz._n there_o be_v a_o

vashti_n disobedience_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v bear_v rule_n in_o his_o own_o house_n hester_n i._o ult_n it_o be_v much_o more_o reasonable_a that_o god_n the_o master_n of_o this_o spiritual_a
