take_v of_o their_o neighbour_n so_o we_o read_v in_o act._n vi_o 1._o that_o there_o arise_v a_o murmur_a of_o the_o grecian_n against_o the_o hebrew_n because_o their_o widow_n be_v neglect_v in_o the_o daily_a ministration_n 3._o other_o murmur_v at_o such_o doctrine_n as_o they_o do_v not_o relish_v find_v fault_n with_o they_o as_o the_o manner_n be_v before_o they_o understand_v they_o joh._n vi_o 60_o 61._o many_o of_o his_o disciple_n when_o they_o hear_v that_o say_v this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n who_o can_v hear_v it_o and_o when_o jesus_n know_v that_o they_o murmur_v at_o it_o he_o say_v do_v this_o offend_v you_o that_o be_v turn_v you_o away_o from_o i_o as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v there_o be_v no_o cause_n for_o it_o the_o fault_n be_v in_o yourselves_o and_o not_o in_o i_o or_o my_o doctrine_n 4._o another_o sort_n murmur_n because_o all_o do_v not_o consent_v to_o their_o little_a opinion_n and_o comply_v with_o their_o custom_n as_o the_o pharisee_n do_v at_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n because_o they_o transgress_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n and_o do_v not_o wash_v their_o hand_n before_o they_o sit_v down_o to_o eat_v mat._n xxv_o 2._o and_o

they_o because_o that_o be_v sufficient_a for_o my_o purpose_n which_o be_v to_o show_v that_o any_o thing_n we_o dislike_v because_o it_o be_v not_o according_a to_o our_o fancy_n opinion_n humour_n inclination_n or_o interest_n may_v be_v the_o matter_n of_o murmur_a and_o complaint_n whereby_o we_o reflect_v very_o reproachful_o upon_o god_n and_o his_o providence_n and_o sometime_o upon_o those_o who_o be_v god_n minister_n or_o upon_o our_o innocent_a brethren_n who_o may_v have_v good_a warrant_n for_o that_o which_o we_o condemn_v and_o now_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o show_v from_o whence_o this_o murmur_a humour_n proceed_v which_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n i_o propound_v and_o may_v soon_o be_v dispatch_v second_o 1._o for_o it_o be_v evident_a it_o proceed_v from_o false_a opinion_n and_o wrong_a notion_n of_o thing_n which_o must_v be_v examine_v and_o correct_v or_o else_o there_o will_v be_v no_o cure_n for_o it_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n murmur_v because_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o disciple_n do_v free_o eat_v with_o publican_n and_o sinner_n luke_n v._n 30._o not_o consider_v that_o the_o

upon_o other_o occasion_n beforementioned_a but_o very_o unreasonable_o and_o unjust_o as_o they_o may_v have_v understand_v if_o instead_o of_o murmur_a they_o will_v have_v ponder_v his_o instruction_n they_o murmur_v at_o he_o say_v st._n john_n vi_o 41._o because_o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o bread_n which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n but_o why_o do_v they_o not_o rather_o complain_v as_o musculus_fw-la gloss_n upon_o those_o word_n that_o they_o can_v not_o understand_v thing_n of_o such_o weight_n and_o necessity_n why_o do_v they_o not_o pray_v to_o be_v enlighten_v from_o above_o and_o desire_v he_o to_o instruct_v they_o more_o clear_o in_o these_o matter_n this_o have_v become_v man_n of_o sense_n but_o in_o this_o we_o see_v the_o genius_n not_o only_o of_o judaical_a but_o of_o all_o carnal_a mind_n who_o soon_o murmur_v against_o the_o truth_n they_o do_v not_o understand_v than_o accuse_v the_o grossness_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o the_o gift_n of_o right_a understanding_n and_o of_o faith._n if_o they_o have_v understand_v in_o what_o sense_n he_o say_v he_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n they_o will_v not_o have_v murmur_v and_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v desire_v to_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o word_n and_o not_o have_v murmur_v at_o that_o which_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v but_o thus_o it_o fare_v as_o i_o say_v with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n that_o it_o soon_o find_v those_o that_o dislike_v it_o and_o condemn_v it_o before_o they_o know_v it_o than_o heart_n that_o desire_v right_o to_o understand_v it_o and_o to_o embrace_v it_o when_o it_o be_v understand_v thus_o he_o 2._o it_o arise_v also_o from_o impatience_n of_o any_o trouble_n or_o

they_o pretend_v those_o great_a minister_n of_o god_n have_v usurp_v over_o the_o people_n 4._o sometime_o from_o luxury_n and_o wantonness_n as_o when_o the_o israelite_n murmur_v because_o they_o have_v not_o such_o dainty_a food_n as_o they_o look_v for_o though_o they_o be_v otherwise_o plentiful_o and_o miraculous_o feed_v with_o manna_n from_o heaven_n which_o they_o be_v cloy_v withal_o and_o loathe_a numb_a xi_o 5._o sometime_o or_o rather_o always_o from_o unthankfulness_n for_o the_o great_a mercy_n we_o enjoy_v which_o be_v in_o all_o condition_n so_o many_o that_o they_o may_v well_o silence_v all_o unmannerly_a complaint_n do_v we_o but_o take_v the_o pain_n to_o lay_v those_o blessing_n to_o heart_n especial_o if_o we_o compare_v they_o with_o the_o bad_a condition_n wherein_o we_o have_v sometime_o be_v or_o deserve_v to_o be_v if_o we_o be_v not_o more_o grateful_a than_o to_o complain_v in_o a_o better_a this_o be_v also_o the_o case_n of_o the_o whole_a

deliver_v they_o and_o so_o fall_v into_o fit_n of_o discontent_n upon_o every_o occasion_n and_o it_o be_v the_o case_n of_o all_o other_o man_n who_o be_v guilty_a of_o this_o sin_n at_o this_o

wont_a to_o be_v nay_o if_o every_o thing_n do_v not_o fall_v out_o according_a to_o their_o wish_n and_o expectation_n that_o be_v we_o will_v have_v no_o trial_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o patience_n

not_o the_o like_a danger_n it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v in_o every_o one_o of_o they_o but_o none_o of_o they_o be_v safe_a and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o seek_v after_o a_o speedy_a remedy_n it_o make_v a_o considerable_a difference_n in_o this_o case_n who_o it_o be_v that_o murmur_n against_o who_o and_o for_o what_o cause_n if_o he_o be_v a_o subject_a who_o have_v receive_v great_a

if_o thanks_o ought_v rather_o to_o be_v render_v than_o complaint_n make_v it_o be_v a_o most_o detestable_a sort_n of_o murmur_a as_o the_o good_a man_n beforenamed_n musculus_fw-la have_v observe_v it_o be_v also_o much_o to_o be_v consider_v from_o whence_o this_o vice_n arise_v whether_o from_o mere_a impatience_n of_o some_o loss_n or_o inconvenience_n or_o from_o pride_n contempt_n

it_o be_v neither_o out_o of_o pride_n nor_o contempt_n nor_o envy_n but_o from_o mere_a impatience_n of_o the_o grievance_n it_o be_v to_o they_o to_o see_v those_o for_o who_o they_o have_v a_o
