thousand_o that_o will_v still_o be_v so_o careless_a of_o themselves_o once_o more_o therefore_o i_o entreat_v you_o remember_v your_o misdo_n lest_o god_n remember_v they_o and_o bless_v the_o lord_n that_o call_v you_o this_o day_n by_o the_o voice_n of_o mercy_n to_o remember_v they_o upon_o term_n of_o faith_n and_o hope_n remember_v they_o must_v be_v first_o or_o last_o and_o believe_v it_o this_o be_v far_o unlike_o the_o sad_a remembrance_n at_o judgement_n and_o in_o the_o place_n of_o woe_n and_o desperation_n and_o i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v here_o that_o it_o be_v your_o own_o misdo_n that_o you_o must_v remember_v have_v it_o be_v only_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o man_n especial_o those_o that_o differ_v from_o you_o or_o have_v wrong_v you_o or_o stand_v against_o your_o interest_n how_o easy_o will_v the_o duty_n have_v be_v perform_v how_o little_a need_n shall_v i_o have_v have_v to_o press_v it_o with_o all_o this_o importunity_n how_o confident_a shall_v

aggravate_v the_o small_a fault_n where_o difference_n cause_v they_o to_o distaste_v the_o person_n how_o ordinary_o they_o judge_v of_o action_n by_o the_o person_n as_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v a_o crime_n that_o be_v do_v by_o such_o as_o they_o dislike_v and_o all_o be_v virtue_n that_o be_v do_v by_o those_o that_o fit_v their_o humour_n how_o common_o brethren_n have_v make_v it_o a_o part_n of_o their_o service_n of_o god_n to_o speak_v or_o write_v uncharitable_o of_o his_o servant_n labour_v to_o destroy_v the_o hearer_n charity_n which_o have_v more_o need_n in_o this_o unhappy_a

so_o bad_a as_o they_o how_o odious_a man_n pretend_v to_o much_o gravity_n learning_n and_o moderation_n do_v labour_n to_o make_v those_o that_o be_v dear_a to_o god_n and_o what_o a_o be_v they_o have_v to_o widen_v difference_n and_o make_v a_o sea_n of_o every_o lake_n and_o that_o perhaps_o under_o pretence_n of_o blame_v the_o uncharitableness_n of_o other_o how_o far_o the_o very_a sermon_n and_o discourse_n of_o some_o learned_a man_n be_v from_o the_o common_a rule_n of_o do_v as_o we_o will_v be_v do_v by_o and_o how_o loud_o they_o proclaim_v that_o such_o man_n love_v not_o

receive_v be_v i_o call_v the_o several_a exasperate_a faction_n now_o in_o england_n to_o remember_v the_o misdo_n of_o their_o suppose_a adversary_n what_o full-mouthed_a and_o debase_v confession_n will_v they_o make_v what_o monster_n of_o heresy_n and_o schism_n of_o impiety_n treason_n and_o rebellion_n of_o perjury_n and_o perfidiousness_n will_v too_o many_o make_v of_o the_o fault_n of_o other_o while_o they_o extenuate_v their_o own_o to_o almost_o nothing_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o observe_v how_o the_o case_n do_v alter_v with_o the_o most_o when_o that_o which_o be_v their_o
