themselves_o and_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n work_v to_o a_o common_a ruin_n for_o what_o do_v these_o sin_n but_o make_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n to_o lay_v open_a the_o nakedness_n one_o of_o

the_o metal_n in_o which_o it_o be_v breed_v so_o the_o act_n or_o eating_n rather_o of_o these_o course_n of_o mutual_a revile_n and_o opposition_n among_o brethren_n must_v needs_o work_v to_o bring_v a_o common_a and_o utter_a destruction_n upon_o they_o in_o the_o three_o place_n we_o may_v consider_v that_o bitter_a rail_n and_o opposition_n do_v draw_v the_o sluice_n and_o let_v in_o a_o world_n of_o wickedness_n into_o the_o world_n 24.12_o mat._n 24.12_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o because_o iniquity_n shall_v abound_v the_o love_n of_o many_o shall_v wax_v cold_a and_o it_o be_v as_o true_a on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o because_o the_o love_n of_o many_o do_v wax_n cold_a therefore_o iniquity_n do_v abound_v it_o be_v hard_o to_o name_v the_o door_n at_o which_o more_o wickedness_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n then_o at_o that_o of_o contention_n and_o i_o believe_v you_o will_v be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n when_o you_o have_v weigh_v the_o apostle_n word_n namely_o 3.16_o jam._n 3.16_o where_o there_o be_v contention_n and_o strife_n there_o be_v confusion_n and_o every_o evil_a work_n whilst_o man_n be_v wrangle_v and_o contend_v with_o brethren_n the_o devil_n be_v at_o liberty_n and_o have_v great_a opportunity_n to_o come_v in_o with_o much_o evil_n and_o to_o spread_v the_o same_o to_o the_o corrupt_a of_o the_o contentious_a person_n see_v therefore_o that_o contention_n nourish_v transgression_n among_o brethren_n it_o must_v needs_o let_v in_o destruction_n upon_o brethren_n and_o expose_v both_o one_o and_o other_o unto_o a_o common_a ruin_n consider_v one_o thing_n more_o namely_o that_o bitter_a rail_n and_o opposition_n among_o christian_a brethren_n do_v bring_v forth_o and_o nourish_v strong_a enmity_n between_o they_o almost_o invincible_a 15.1_o prov._n 15.1_o grievous_a word_n say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n stir_v up_o anger_n and_o anger_n among_o brethren_n once_o stir_v be_v very_o strong_a and_o hardly_o

they_o be_v in_o a_o world_n that_o love_v they_o so_o well_o that_o if_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n do_v not_o tender_o love_v they_o and_o he_o that_o bound_v the_o sea_n do_v not_o bind_v the_o rage_n of_o man_n against_o they_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o be_v and_o not_o to_o be_v destroy_v when_o as_o i_o say_v they_o who_o shall_v lay_v out_o themselves_o for_o the_o strengthen_v one_o of_o another_o grow_v to_o bitter_a invincible_a enmity_n one_o against_o another_o the_o end_n of_o brethren_n embroil_v in_o such_o unbrother_o contention_n be_v likely_a to_o

of_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o seir_n every_o one_o help_v to_o destroy_v another_o we_o may_v therefore_o from_o this_o and_o the_o forego_n consideration_n with_o assurance_n conclude_v that_o if_o

in_o those_o wicked_a lust_n which_o war_n within_o they_o against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o multitude_n of_o man_n lie_v under_o a_o wicked_a fear_n of_o have_v the_o yoke_n of_o jesus_n
