A96887	A conference of some Christians in church-fellow-ship, about the way of Christ with his people, and the result therefrom. This serveth only by way of introduction to take off the reproaches, that are cast upon pastour and people, whose earnest care and endeavour is to walke with a right foote in that holy way. Which is held forth here by the light of the sacred Scripture, as it appeares unto them, and how curious and circumspect their walke should be, who pretend to it, and to walke therein. The scandalls in and against the way are removed as they could be.	Woodward, Ezekias, 1590-1675.	1656 (1656)	Wing W3485; Thomason E868_4; ESTC R207653	29,701	36

know_v not_o when_o and_o wherein_o any_o be_v give_v thus_o it_o be_v suggest_v that_o we_o be_v regardless_o of_o other_o who_o walk_v not_o in_o fellowship_n with_o we_o much_o more_o be_v say_v but_o we_o shall_v hear_v more_o of_o it_o in_o another_o place_n this_o we_o will_v say_v here_o first_o 1._o that_o no_o good_a man_n can_v be_v regardless_o of_o another_o how_o bad_a soever_o nay_o the_o worse_a he_o be_v the_o more_o regard_v a_o good_a man_n have_v unto_o he_o so_o as_o he_o can_v take_v such_o a_o one_o into_o his_o bosom_n so_o be_v thereby_o he_o can_v make_v he_o better_o 2._o we_o profess_v from_o our_o heart_n now_o that_o wisdom_n have_v entred-in_a thither_o and_o knowledge_n be_v pleasant_a to_o our_o soul_n that_o we_o can_v but_o love_v all_o we_o have_v the_o least_o hope_n do_v love_n the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o sincerity_n observe_v their_o orderly_a walk_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o word_n and_o command_n of_o the_o gospel_n under_o what_o form_n or_o notion_n soever_o they_o be_v that_o be_v little_a or_o nothing_o to_o we_o they_o love_v the_o lord_n in_o sincerity_n and_o that_o be_v motive_n enough_o and_o bond_n strong_a enough_o upon_o we_o to_o love_v they_o that_o christ_n have_v receive_v we_o prevail_v much_o to_o receive_v one_o another_o though_o yet_o we_o confess_v we_o can_v but_o invite_v other_o to_o comein_a and_o join_v with_o we_o we_o know_v he_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o persuade_v to_o comein_a and_o add_v to_o the_o church_n but_o we_o say_v we_o can_v but_o invite_v other_o to_o comein_a to_o we_o and_o walk_v along_o with_o we_o assure_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v find_v the_o same_o that_o we_o do_v that_o all_o the_o way_n of_o wisdom_n be_v way_n of_o pleasantness_n and_o all_o her_o path_n be_v peace_n 3._o and_o yet_o that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v too_o hasty_a and_o so_o rather_o stumble_v into_o the_o way_n than_o take_v into_o it_o upon_o choice_n we_o do_v advise_v they_o to_o sit_v down_o first_o and_o count_v their_o cost_n assure_v they_o from_o as_o sure_a a_o word_n as_o the_o heaven_n and_o earth_n have_v for_o their_o continue_n that_o they_o must_v come_v off_o from_o their_o own_o way_n a_o way_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o cast_v a_o spew_v upon_o it_o that_o they_o may_v no_o more_o return_n unto_o it_o than_o they_o will_v to_o their_o vomit_n to_o take_v it_o up_o again_o before_o they_o can_v enter_v this_o way_n to_o walk_v in_o it_o as_o become_v with_o a_o right_a foot_n in_o all_o please_a as_o before_o he_o who_o have_v call_v we_o out_o of_o darkness_n into_o his_o marvelous_a light_n we_o tell_v they_o moreover_o lest_o they_o find_v themselves_o mistake_v shall_v return_v back_o to_o their_o egypt_n of_o sin_n and_o darkness_n that_o though_o it_o be_v as_o pleasant_a a_o way_n as_o pleasantness_n itself_o yet_o so_o say_v the_o spirit_n renew_v not_o so_o say_v the_o flesh_n for_o not_o one_o step_n scarce_o be_v take_v therein_o but_o it_o go_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o true_o to_o take_v it_o in_o passage_n hereby_o we_o conclude_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o way_n that_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o holiness_n which_o be_v a_o torment_n to_o flesh_n not_o mortify_v as_o flesh_n be_v a_o torment_n to_o it_o and_o so_o we_o say_v far_o to_o he_o or_o she_o that_o bear_v any_o like_n to_o this_o way_n and_o make_v some_o offer_v towards_o it_o we_o give_v all_o encouragement_n that_o can_v be_v for_o who_o dare_v despise_v the_o day_n of_o small_a thing_n the_o least_o motion_n or_o breathe_n heaven-ward_n how_o welcome_a yet_o we_o say_v further_o and_o it_o be_v good_a to_o tell_v they_o the_o worst_a with_o the_o best_a that_o they_o never_o find_v what_o a_o rebel_n flesh_n be_v till_o now_o nor_o a_o busy_a devil_n till_o now_o nor_o what_o persecution_n be_v till_o now_o which_o if_o they_o meet_v not_o with_o from_o without_o and_o that_o be_v a_o
