better_o than_o thy_o way_n they_o be_v so_o rational_a the_o second_o observation_n be_v this_o the_o way_n to_o prevail_v with_o man_n it_o be_v to_o deal_v with_o they_o in_o a_o rational_a 2._o way_n the_o way_n that_o i_o take_v with_o this_o people_n to_o prevail_v with_o they_o it_o be_v to_o draw_v they_o with_o the_o cord_n of_o man_n certain_o the_o way_n that_o god_n take_v to_o prevail_v with_o people_n be_v the_o best_a way_n therefore_o those_o man_n that_o will_v prevail_v with_o any_o people_n use_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o any_o thing_n that_o they_o desire_v it_o be_v to_o deal_v with_o they_o in_o a_o rational_a way_n and_o so_o seek_v to_o prevail_v with_o they_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v so_o in_o joh._n 16._o 8._o and_o when_o 〈◊〉_d he_o be_v come_v he_o will_v reprove_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v shall_v come_v with_o demonstration_n for_o so_o the_o word_n logical_o signify_v it_o be_v a_o word_n that_o signify_v to_o convince_v in_o a_o way_n of_o demonstration_n that_o one_o can_v deny_v possible_o and_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o come_v in_o the_o demonstration_n of_o the_o spirit_n 4._o and_o of_o power_n mark_v demonstration_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o it_o come_v to_o be_v in_o power_n and_o it_o concern_v minister_n more_o especial_o if_o you_o that_o be_v minister_n will_v speak_v powerful_o to_o people_n speak_v in_o demonstration_n the_o demonstration_n of_o the_o spirit_n indeed_o it_o must_v be_v there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a reason_n in_o the_o scripture_n minister_n must_v not_o think_v to_o scare_v man_n man_n into_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n though_o i_o know_v some_o time_n god_n make_v use_v of_o the_o bare_a terror_n of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o main_a thing_n whereby_o minister_n must_v have_v hope_n to_o do_v good_a to_o their_o people_n must_v be_v by_o preach_v convince_o to_o overcome_v their_o very_a reason_n as_o much_o as_o possible_o can_v be_v and_o to_o set_v the_o law_n of_o god_n so_o before_o they_o as_o if_o they_o will_v but_o judge_v between_o god_n and_o their_o own_o soul_n they_o shall_v condemn_v themselves_o and_o approve_v of_o god_n that_o ministry_n be_v like_a to_o be_v the_o best_a soulsaving_a ministry_n that_o meet_v powerful_a with_o every_o objection_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o at_o every_o turn_v the_o secret_n of_o their_o heart_n come_v to_o be_v open_v oh_o remember_v you_o preach_v to_o man_n and_o therefore_o you_o make_v use_v of_o that_o reason_n that_o you_o find_v in_o scripture_n i_o know_v reason_n alone_o will_v never_o do_v it_o i_o but_o god_n when_o he_o work_v to_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n he_o work_v upon_o they_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n that_o be_v co-worker_n with_o god_n they_o shall_v work_v in_o such_o a_o suitable_a way_n and_o not_o only_o minister_n but_o magistrate_n too_o they_o conscience_n must_v labour_v to_o draw_v they_o with_o the_o cord_n of_o man_n also_o that_o be_v not_o by_o violence_n in_o thing_n that_o man_n can_v be_v convince_v of_o to_o think_v to_o force_v they_o in_o a_o way_n of_o violence_n i_o say_v in_o thing_n that_o they_o can_v be_v convince_v of_o in_o such_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v not_o wilful_o ignorant_a of_o they_o must_v not_o make_v prison_n and_o fine_n to_o be_v argument_n these_o be_v not_o the_o cord_n of_o man_n indeed_o in_o thing_n that_o have_v the_o light_n of_o common_a equity_n and_o justice_n as_o civil_a thing_n that_o carry_v in_o the_o very_a face_n of_o they_o a_o light_n of_o common_a equity_n and_o justice_n there_o magistrate_n need_v not_o stay_v for_o any_o further_a convincement_n and_o there_o i_o say_v they_o need_v go_v no_o further_o but_o they_o may_v deal_v with_o they_o in_o a_o violent_a way_n if_o they_o break_v those_o but_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o a_o more_o dubious_a nature_n and_o that_o be_v from_o connexion_n and_o consequence_n and_o more_o difficult_a to_o be_v understand_v and_o that_o be_v controversal_a even_o among_o godly_a man_n and_o wise_a man_n there_o they_o must_v look_v to_o it_o and_o people_n must_v have_v way_n of_o instruction_n first_o and_o to_o be_v inform_v first_o and_o likewise_o if_o they_o do_v not_o oppose_v they_o in_o a_o wilful_a way_n but_o if_o they_o see_v that_o they_o do_v desire_v to_o understand_v what_o they_o be_v able_a and_o can_v they_o must_v not_o think_v to_o go_v on_o in_o a_o way_n of_o violence_n there_o that_o be_v not_o to_o deal_v with_o man_n like_o man_n in_o that_o thing_n to_o force_v they_o unto_o such_o way_n that_o they_o do_v not_o see_v reason_n for_o and_o let_v they_o labour_v to_o the_o uttermost_a they_o can_v they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o understand_v then_o certain_o there_o must_v be_v forbearance_n in_o such_o thing_n and_o especial_o the_o rather_o because_o that_o christ_n have_v give_v we_o charge_n not_o to_o yield_v to_o any_o thing_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n till_o we_o do_v understand_v the_o rule_n of_o it_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n conscience_n when_o chest_n give_v that_o charge_n that_o we_o must_v not_o yield_v to_o it_o because_o such_o and_o such_o man_n do_v so_o till_o we_o do_v examine_v it_o and_o be_v able_a to_o understand_v the_o rule_n now_o then_o sure_o the_o uttermost_a that_o the_o power_n of_o violence_n and_o force_n can_v do_v be_v this_o to_o make_v man_n examine_v thing_n but_o no_o further_o and_o so_o for_o you_o that_o have_v any_o under_o you_o your_o servant_n correction_n and_o child_n instruct_v they_o show_v they_o the_o evil_n of_o their_o way_n do_v not_o fly_v upon_o they_o with_o your_o rage_n and_o passion_n but_o deal_v with_o they_o like_o man_n in_o way_n of_o instruction_n the_o three_o note_n be_v this_o it_o be_v a_o great_a aggravation_n of_o man_n sin_n not_o to_o be_v draw_v by_o these_o cord_n of_o man_n for_o a_o man_n to_o stand_v 3._o out_o against_o reason_n be_v a_o great_a aggravation_n so_o man_n stand_v out_o against_o many_o way_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o their_o conscience_n fly_v in_o their_o face_n and_o condemn_v they_o oh_o thou_o be_v a_o wretch_n that_o though_o the_o lord_n have_v seek_v to_o draw_v thou_o with_o the_o cord_n of_o a_o man_n with_o reason_n and_o have_v convince_v thou_o he_o have_v get_v the_o cord_n into_o thy_o conscience_n and_o god_n pull_v and_o thou_o pull_v and_o will_v not_o be_v draw_v with_o those_o cord_n oh_o this_o be_v a_o wickedness_n for_o man_n to_o go_v on_o in_o way_n that_o their_o own_o conscience_n do_v condemn_v they_o in_o some_o vain_a reason_n can_v draw_v man_n to_o sin_n as_o a_o cart-rope_n that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o place_n they_o draw_z iniquity_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o cart_n rope_n that_o be_v their_o vain_a reasning_n that_o they_o have_v for_o their_o sin_n twist_v together_o make_v a_o strong_a cart-rope_n to_o draw_v iniquity_n oh_o shall_v not_o god_n cord_n be_v as_o strong_a as_o the_o devil_n cord_n or_o man_n cord_n many_o there_o be_v though_o god_n seem_v to_o draw_v they_o with_o these_o cord_n of_o a_o man_n yet_o their_o lust_n be_v so_o strong_a like_o pamper_a horse_n in_o a_o team_n they_o will_v break_v the_o cart-rope_n break_v all_o their_o harness_n to_o piece_n and_o so_o do_v many_o unruly_a spirit_n even_o say_v like_o those_o in_o psal_n 2._o let_v we_o 2._o break_v his_o bond_n and_o cast_v away_o his_o cord_n from_o we_o well_o thou_o shall_v one_o day_n be_v hold_v by_o the_o cord_n of_o thy_o own_o sin_n they_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v and_o thy_o conscience_n shall_v lash_v thou_o with_o those_o cord_n of_o conviction_n that_o do_v not_o draw_v thou_o shall_v not_o the_o cord_n of_o conviction_n draw_v thou_o from_o thy_o sin_n they_o shall_v serve_v to_o be_v as_o whip_n to_o lash_v thy_o soul_n even_o to_o all_o eternity_n know_v that_o the_o rule_n of_o right-reason_n and_o scripture-reason_n shall_v stand_v when_o thou_o and_o thousand_o of_o such_o wilful_a fool_n as_o thou_o be_v shall_v perish_v eternal_o and_o these_o be_v the_o note_n for_o god_n deal_v in_o a_o rational_a way_n and_o then_o the_o second_o be_v in_o a_o gentle_a way_n way_n first_o man_n nature_n if_o it_o be_v not_o degenerate_v be_v of_o a_o love_a gentle_a disposition_n it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n to_o be_v of_o a_o gentle_a disposition_n that_o be_v the_o note_n from_o hence_o and_o i_o raise_v it_o thus_o i_o deal_v with_o they_o with_o the_o cord_n of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v gentle_o which_o be_v man_n nature_n such_o a_o gentleness_n as_o fair_a mean_n will_v work_v upon_o it_o rather_o than_o ridge_v way_n
