there_o shall_v be_v any_o danger_n hereafter_o on_o that_o side_n as_o there_o have_v be_v late_o on_o the_o other_o may_v god_n in_o good_a time_n discover_v it_o as_o he_o have_v do_v the_o other_o

to_o treat_v of_o these_o virtue_n several_o godliness_n brotherly_a kindness_n and_o charity_n godliness_n in_o reference_n to_o god_n brotherly_a kindness_n to_o one_o another_o and_o charity_n to_o all_o man_n especial_o to_o our_o poor_a 1._o godliness_n in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o our_o brotherly_a kindness_n may_v be_v inoffensive_a and_o our_o charity_n acceptable_a now_o there_o be_v as_o several_a sort_n of_o godliness_n in_o vulgar_a acception_n of_o the_o word_n as_o there_o be_v of_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o rate_n there_o be_v godly_a pagan_n godly_a turk_n

as_o a_o infidel_n a_o mahometan_a as_o a_o mahometan_a and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n that_o a_o papist_n a_o heretic_n or_o a_o schismatic_a as_o such_o be_v in_o a_o salvable_a condition_n be_v such_o a_o fondness_n of_o charity_n that_o it_o can_v be_v little_o better_a itself_o than_o a_o heretical_a a_o damnable_a opinion_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v not_o the_o judgement_n of_o discretion_n as_o be_v no_o where_o warrant_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o have_v be_v anathematise_v by_o our_o church_n in_o her_o article_n godliness_n then_o do_v not_o consist_v in_o a_o

that_o be_v without_o some_o form_n or_o other_o however_o as_o necessary_a as_o a_o form_n be_v to_o godliness_n it_o be_v not_o essential_a for_o which_o reason_n it_o may_v be_v suppose_v our_o saviour_n himself_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o appoint_v any_o form_n but_o lest_o it_o to_o the_o prudence_n of_o his_o apostle_n in_o their_o several_a district_n and_o province_n and_o consequent_o to_o particular_a church_n pro_fw-la hic_fw-la &_o nunc_fw-la to_o determine_v and_o herein_o as_o i_o take_v it_o lie_v the_o nature_n of_o schism_n for_o man_n wilful_o to_o depart_v from_o that_o public_a form_n of_o worship_n which_o the_o authority_n of_o that_o church_n they_o belong_v to_o have_v prescribe_v and_o so_o to_o dismember_v themselves_o from_o their_o own_o body_n and_o upon_o this_o ground_n we_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n may_v acquit_v ourselves_o and_o justify_v our_o separation_n from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o the_o bold_a british_a

the_o romanist_n when_o they_o charge_v we_o with_o heresy_n and_o schism_n in_o s._n paul_n word_n as_o have_v no_o dependence_n upon_o the_o pope_n unless_o we_o will_v foolish_o enslave_v

but_o the_o best_a of_o form_n be_v not_o of_o itself_o save_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n since_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o 3.5_o that_o some_o have_v the_o form_n of_o godliness_n deny_v the_o

lie_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a there_o be_v the_o power_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o when_o the_o heart_n be_v possess_v with_o a_o reverential_a awe_n of_o the_o

yet_o still_o these_o possession_n of_o heart_n our_o good_a intention_n and_o pious_a direction_n of_o mind_n be_v not_o enough_o but_o must_v be_v set_v forth_o to_o the_o life_n in_o our_o life_n if_o we_o will_v be_v true_o godly_a for_o it_o be_v a_o godly_a life_n that_o be_v the_o life_n of_o godliness_n the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o of_o some_o that_o live_v without_o god_n in_o the_o

godliness_n be_v make_v out_o in_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o enos_n his_o time_n 4.25_o that_o then_o begin_v man_n to_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o

and_o confirm_v brotherly_a kindness_n which_o be_v the_o next_o virtue_n to_o be_v speak_v to_o 2._o brotherly_o kindness_n brother_n in_o scripture-use_a be_v not_o always_o take_v in_o that_o

if_o occasion_n be_v offer_v sure_o sure_o those_o who_o have_v desert_v our_o establishment_n we_o may_v and_o must_v call_v they_o english_a brethren_n but_o how_o to_o call_v they_o protestant_a brethren_n i_o do_v not_o well_o know_v for_o of_o they_o i_o may_v say_v what_o s._n john_n say_v of_o some_o in_o his_o time_n 2.19_o that_o if_o

that_o not_o any_o one_o or_o more_o of_o these_o will_v serve_v turn_n without_o the_o other_o so_o than_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o be_v a_o believer_n to_o be_v virtuous_a to_o be_v know_v to_o
