and_o believe_v their_o corban_n of_o zeal_n for_o some_o point_n which_o their_o interest_n make_v dear_a to_o they_o shall_v dispense_v with_o their_o obedience_n to_o many_o of_o the_o great_a

will_v not_o regard_v another_o that_o shall_v tell_v they_o never_o so_o plain_o that_o they_o have_v do_v ill_o this_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v run_v from_o a_o bark_a cur_n

be_v merciful_a to_o we_o all_o of_o christian_a reputation_n 23._o it_o be_v a_o great_a offence_n to_o some_o weak_a christian_n that_o those_o they_o look_v upon_o as_o eminent_a saint_n do_v

bowel_n of_o compassion_n towards_o other_o in_o that_o case_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o some_o whilst_o they_o read_v too_o severe_a lecture_n concerning_o the_o conflict_n of_o natural_a conscience_n and_o the_o diverse_a subtle_a work_n of_o counterfeit_a grace_n endanger_v a_o abortion_n in_o other_o some_o too_o tart_o interrogate_v how_o long_a other_o stick_v in_o the_o place_n of_o come_v forth_o of_o child_n and_o it_o may_v be_v too_o little_a remember_v their_o own_o delay_n there_o some_o require_v a_o elijah_n fervour_n in_o all_o man_n else_o because_o they_o feel_v something_o like_o it_o in_o themselves_o diverse_a accuse_v a_o defect_n of_o light_n in_o other_o or_o at_o least_o that_o their_o candle_n burn_v under_o a_o bushel_n whereas_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o the_o fault_n lie_v in_o their_o want_n of_o discern_v other_o bid_v we_o if_o we_o have_v the_o heat_n of_o godliness_n in_o we_o rake_v our_o coal_n out_o of_o the_o embers_o whereas_o many_o true_a christian_n have_v the_o ray_n of_o grace_n more_o unite_v in_o their_o soul_n as_o in_o a_o burning-glass_n where_o though_o the_o circumference_n be_v not_o so_o great_a yet_o the_o heat_n be_v more_o intense_a many_o devout_a heart_n burn_v inward_a so_o that_o those_o without_o can_v be_v competent_a judge_n what_o be_v their_o flame_n i_o speak_v not_o this_o to_o patronize_v any_o fault_n much_o less_o that_o great_a one_o of_o lukewarmness_n i_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n discourage_v private_a exhortation_n and_o reproof_n nay_o nor_o a_o godly_a jealousy_n in_o any_o man_n over_o another_o it_o be_v far_o from_o my_o intent_n to_o furnish_v any_o half-christian_n with_o expedient_n how_o to_o elude_v any_o such_o course_n intend_v for_o his_o good_a to_o which_o alas_o how_o many_o be_v apt_a my_o purpose_n be_v only_o this_o that_o since_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v we_o to_o be_v patient_a and_o meek_a towards_o all_o man_n and_o that_o upon_o this_o consideration_n how_o foolish_a and_o disobedient_a and_o vicious_a in_o all_o kind_n we_o ourselves_o once_o be_v we_o shall_v not_o be_v peevish_a and_o uncharitable_o ill-natured_a towards_o such_o as_o perhaps_o be_v weak_a christian_n yet_o may_v have_v more_o humility_n in_o they_o and_o more_o love_n beside_o how_o many_o be_v think_v stranger_n to_o god_n and_o the_o discipline_n of_o grace_n who_o yet_o from_o their_o youth_n up_o have_v be_v under_o that_o discipline_n the_o lord_n have_v give_v they_o counsel_n and_o their_o reins_n instruct_v they_o in_o the_o night_n season_n they_o have_v be_v lead_v into_o the_o gallery_n and_o have_v have_v the_o banner_n of_o god_n love_n display_v over_o they_o and_o have_v they_o either_o the_o art_n or_o the_o confidence_n to_o communicate_v to_o other_o a_o history_n of_o their_o experience_n they_o may_v discover_v many_o subtle_a wile_n of_o the_o natural_a man_n heart_n and_o of_o satan_n of_o who_o device_n they_o be_v not_o ignorant_a i_o say_v these_o uncharitable_a jealousy_n and_o suspicion_n be_v a_o offence_n to_o weak_a or_o novice-christians_n which_o somewhat_o need_v the_o crutch_n of_o other_o man_n opinion_n to_o support_v their_o soul_n as_o for_o a_o experience_a christian_a though_o he_o avoid_v what_o in_o he_o lie_v the_o give_a offence_n to_o any_o and_o set_v a_o due_a value_n on_o a_o good_a report_n especial_o from_o good_a man_n yet_o be_v he_o in_o some_o measure_n affect_v like_o magnanimous_a st_n paul_n it_o be_v a_o very_a small_a thing_n with_o he_o to_o be_v judge_v of_o

of_o god_n through_o the_o intercession_n of_o jesus_n christ_n of_o prejudice_n against_o godliness_n it_o be_v a_o great_a stumbling-block_n to_o ingenious_a man_n that_o religion_n i_o mean_v the_o

that_o make_v some_o man_n but_o partial_a christian_n that_o christianity_n and_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n suffer_v undeserved_o herein_o i_o make_v not_o the_o least_o question_n be_v i_o to_o
