professor_n in_o wittenberg_n and_o the_o other_o in_o geneva_n i_o say_v no_o more_o but_o only_o wish_v that_o they_o who_o approve_v the_o faith_n that_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o french_a church_n will_v imitate_v the_o moderation_n and_o sobriety_n of_o the_o learned_a doctor_n who_o have_v teach_v and_o maintain_v it_o and_o so_o i_o leave_v this_o first_o difference_n which_o be_v in_o opinion_n and_o judgement_n ii_o the_o next_o be_v a_o difference_n in_o christian_a virtue_n for_o though_o all_o true_a christian_n be_v sanctify_v in_o every_o part_n and_o have_v a_o portion_n of_o all_o necessary_a grace_n yet_o god_n distribute_v these_o grace_n in_o such_o a_o different_a manner_n and_o measure_n that_o in_o several_a man_n some_o be_v eminent_a and_o glorious_a and_o other_o be_v scarce_o conspicuous_a or_o to_o be_v see_v for_o example_n to_o one_o man_n god_n give_v a_o good_a measure_n of_o patience_n but_o not_o so_o much_o courage_n to_o another_o he_o give_v courage_n for_o the_o truth_n but_o not_o so_o much_o moderation_n or_o judgement_n &_o to_o another_o he_o give_v mildness_n of_o spirit_n but_o not_o so_o much_o zeal_n in_o god_n service_n so_o that_o we_o may_v say_v of_o one_o that_o he_o be_v patient_a or_o moderate_a or_o of_o a_o meek_a mind_n but_o not_o so_o fit_o that_o he_o be_v zealous_a or_o courageous_a or_o constant_a in_o his_o purpose_n and_o in_o this_o case_n i_o say_v that_o difference_n of_o such_o virtue_n shall_v not_o cause_v distraction_n of_o mind_n but_o in_o this_o diversity_n of_o grace_n we_o shall_v serve_v god_n with_o unity_n of_o mind_n to_o this_o purpose_n s._n augustine_n have_v a_o good_a note_n upon_o the_o story_n of_o zaccheus_n and_o the_o centurion_n both_o of_o they_o mention_v in_o the_o

different_a practice_n of_o john_n and_o jesus_n and_o their_o contrary_a course_n of_o life_n john_n come_v neither_o eat_n nor_o drink_v and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v eat_v and_o drink_v the_o meaning_n be_v that_o john_n live_v a_o austere_a life_n and_o keep_v a_o kind_n of_o continual_a fast_n as_o become_v he_o who_o be_v the_o preacher_n of_o repentance_n but_o jesus_n live_v a_o sociable_a life_n and_o keep_v company_n with_o man_n in_o a_o friendly_a manner_n as_o be_v fit_a for_o he_o who_o bring_v the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o the_o gospel_n such_o be_v their_o different_a and_o contrary_a course_n of_o life_n 2_o note_v the_o censure_n which_o the_o jew_n give_v of_o they_o both_o they_o be_v please_v with_o neither_o of_o they_o john_n for_o his_o austerity_n live_v not_o like_o a_o man_n he_o doubtless_o have_v a_o devil_n and_o jesus_n for_o his_o familiarity_n live_v not_o like_o a_o sober_a man_n he_o be_v a_o glutton_n and_o a_o wine-bibber_n this_o be_v their_o censure_n 3_o observe_v the_o mutual_a testimony_n that_o jesus_n and_o john_n do_v give_v the_o one_o of_o the_o other_o jesus_n say_v of_o john_n he_o be_v more_o than_o a_o prophet_n &_o the_o chief_a among_o the_o son_n of_o woman_n and_o john_n say_v of_o jesus_n that_o he_o be_v more_o than_o a_o man_n and_o so_o far_o above_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o untie_v his_o shoe_n non_fw-la litigaverunt_fw-la inter_fw-la se_fw-la these_o two_o rare_a man_n of_o very_a different_a quality_n &_o condition_n yet_o do_v not_o strive_v one_o against_o another_o they_o strive_v how_o each_o might_n most_o honour_v the_o other_o and_o this_o may_v teach_v we_o what_o we_o shall_v do_v if_o we_o cavil_v at_o other_o man_n virtue_n and_o deprave_v their_o do_n when_o they_o agree_v not_o to_o our_o fancy_n we_o be_v not_o like_o either_o jesus_n or_o john_n we_o resemble_v rather_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharise_n who_o be_v please_v neither_o with_o fullness_n nor_o fast_v but_o if_o we_o will_v imitate_v john_n and_o jesus_n then_o if_o we_o see_v in_o divers_a man_n different_a virtue_n we_o must_v acknowledge_v god_n in_o they_o all_o and_o if_o one_o man_n be_v sociable_a like_o christ_n when_o we_o be_v severe_a like_o john_n and_o if_o another_o be_v humble_a like_o the_o centurion_n when_o we_o be_v hearty_a like_o zaccheus_n and_o if_o a_o three_o be_v meek_a like_o moses_n while_o we_o be_v zealous_a like_o phineas_n we_o may_v not_o judge_v they_o because_o they_o agree_v not_o
