heresy_n and_o church-division_n as_o any_o sensualist_n have_v in_o his_o way_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o a_o zeal_n for_o selfish_a opinion_n be_v easy_o get_v and_o easy_o maintain_v when_o zeal_n for_o the_o save_a truth_n of_o god_n be_v hardly_o kindle_v and_o hardly_o keep_v alive_a yea_o multitude_n in_o the_o world_n do_v make_v the_o very_a truth_n to_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o their_o carnal_a interest_n in_o it_o while_o they_o some_o way_n get_v a_o seem_a peculiar_a interest_n and_o promote_v it_o but_o as_o a_o opinion_n of_o their_o own_o or_o of_o their_o party_n and_o use_v it_o for_o selfish_a carnal_a end_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o many_o that_o be_v call_v orthodox_n can_v easy_o get_v and_o keep_v a_o burn_a zeal_n for_o their_o orthodox_n opinion_n when_o practical_a christian_n do_v find_v it_o a_o very_a hard_a matter_n to_o be_v zealous_a for_o the_o same_o truth_n in_o a_o practical_a way_n many_o ungodly_a man_n will_v be_v hot_a in_o dispute_v for_o the_o truth_n and_o cry_v down_o all_o that_o be_v against_o it_o and_o perhaps_o so_o far_o exceed_v their_o bound_n that_o the_o godly_a dare_v not_o follow_v they_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v clear_a whether_o it_o be_v truth_n or_o error_n that_o a_o man_n hold_v if_o he_o hold_v it_o but_o as_o a_o conceit_n of_o his_o own_o or_o as_o the_o opinion_n of_o his_o party_n or_o to_o be_v note_v in_o the_o world_n as_o one_o that_o have_v find_v out_o more_o truth_n than_o other_o or_o any_o way_n make_v it_o but_o the_o matter_n of_o his_o selfish_a interest_n nature_n and_o corruption_n will_v furnish_v he_o with_o a_o zeal_n for_o it_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o go_v where_o sin_n and_o satan_n drive_v and_o to_o be_v zealous_a where_o zeal_n have_v so_o small_a resistance_n and_o to_o swim_v down_o the_o stream_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o be_v zealous_a in_o the_o practical_a save_a entertainment_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o exercise_v that_o faith_n and_o love_n to_o god_n and_o holy_a obedience_n which_o truth_n be_v send_v to_o work_v in_o we_o a_o schismatical_a or_o opinionative_n use_v of_o truth_n itself_o be_v but_o a_o use_v it_o for_o self_n against_o the_o god_n of_o truth_n and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o wonder_n to_o see_v man_n zealous_a in_o this_o than_o to_o see_v man_n forward_o and_o hot_a in_o any_o evil_n we_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o quench_v or_o restrain_v this_o selfish_a carnal_a kind_n of_o zeal_n but_o when_o man_n shall_v use_v the_o truth_n for_o god_n and_o their_o salvation_n against_o satan_n and_o sin_n and_o self_n then_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o make_v they_o zealous_a they_o be_v like_o green_a wood_n or_o wet_a fuel_n on_o the_o fire_n that_o will_v not_o burn_v without_o much_o blow_n and_o soon_o go_v out_o when_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v kindle_v if_o once_o you_o leave_v it_o to_o itself_o paul_n speak_v not_o nonsense_n when_o he_o say_v for_o you_o be_v yet_o carnal_a

or_o drunkenness_n if_o you_o ask_v i_o how_o it_o be_v know_v brief_o now_o i_o shallonly_a tell_v you_o this_o much_o of_o it_o 1._o that_o it_o be_v usual_o for_o either_o a_o error_n or_o a_o

with_o a_o zeal_n and_o diligence_n much_o exceed_v that_o which_o they_o bestow_v upon_o other_o opinion_n of_o equal_a weight_n and_o lay_v a_o great_a stress_n upon_o it_o than_o any_o show_n of_o reason_n will_v allow_v they_o 4._o they_o usual_o be_v zealous_a for_o a_o party_n and_o division_n against_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n 5._o their_o zeal_n be_v most_o common_o turn_v against_o the_o faithful_a pastor_n of_o the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o keep_v in_o with_o schism_n and_o with_o faithful_a pastor_n too_o and_o if_o the_o minister_n will_v not_o own_v their_o sin_n and_o error_n they_o will_v disow_v the_o minister_n the_o anabaptist_n and_o other_o sect_n of_o late_a will_v never_o have_v be_v so_o much_o against_o christ_n minister_n if_o the_o minister_n have_v not_o be_v against_o their_o way_n 6._o their_o course_n do_v in_o the_o conclusion_n bring_v down_o religion_n and_o hinder_v the_o thrive_a of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o

the_o interest_n of_o their_o opinion_n and_o party_n have_v cherish_v dissension_n and_o flee_v from_o concord_n and_o have_v have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o resist_n and_o pull_v down_o authority_n

christ_n be_v so_o much_o silent_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o such_o heinous_a miscarriage_n as_o the_o time_n abound_v with_o i_o know_v we_o receive_v not_o our_o commission_n as_o prophet_n do_v by_o

it_o if_o great_a man_n will_v set_v up_o popery_n in_o the_o land_n by_o a_o toleration_n alas_o how_o many_o minister_n think_v they_o may_v be_v silent_a for_o fear_v lest_o the_o contriver_n
