blasphemy_n to_o persuade_v the_o world_n to_o despise_v god_n &_o his_o word_n if_o a_o evil_a case_n be_v maintain_v or_o if_o man_n go_v about_o to_o overthrow_v right_a let_v we_o not_o be_v

show_v ourselves_o to_o be_v none_o of_o his_o child_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o example_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o here_o in_o the_o person_n of_o eliu_n yea_o and_o let_v we_o make_v comparison_n between_o ourselves_o and_o he_o for_o if_o a_o man_n that_o be_v not_o bring_v up_o in_o god_n school_n but_o be_v entangle_v among_o the_o infidel_n be_v move_v with_o such_o zeal_n when_o god_n touch_v he_o that_o he_o irn_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v burst_v till_o he_o have_v discharge_v his_o conscience_n i_o pray_v you_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v when_o god_n teach_v we_o so_o familiar_o in_o his_o word_n can_v we_o be_v excuse_v when_o we_o yield_v not_o record_n unto_o he_o before_o man_n at_o such_o time_n as_o we_o see_v goodness_n deface_v yea_o and_o utter_o raze_v out_o and_o yet_o set_v not_o ourselves_o against_o they_o that_o do_v it_o then_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n call_v we_o thereunto_o and_o lay_v such_o a_o charge_n upon_o we_o if_o we_o be_v dumb_a and_o make_v no_o account_n of_o maintain_v the_o good_a but_o rather_o do_v help_v the_o wicked_a by_o our_o silence_n be_v we_o not_o traitor_n to_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n yes_o doubtless_o be_v we_o so_o than_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v move_v the_o more_o sith_o we_o see_v that_o a_o man_n which_o have_v not_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n nor_o be_v of_o

and_o true_a servant_n for_o he_o will_v serve_v his_o own_o turn_n by_o the_o wicked_a whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o â–ª_o but_o i_o speak_v here_o of_o those_o to_o who_o he_o give_v his_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n who_o he_o make_v not_o to_o serve_v he_o without_o give_v they_o a_o good_a will_n to_o do_v it_o he_o can_v well_o speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o balaam_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o see_v that_o balaam_n be_v still_o a_o deceiver_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n set_v he_o forth_o too_o his_o reproach_n and_o slander_n but_o as_o for_o eliu_o god_n stir_v he_o up_o as_o his_o prophet_n so_o as_o he_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o good_a will_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o overcome_v all_o let_v that_o may_v turn_v he_o away_o from_o maintain_v of_o the_o truth_n so_o then_o now_o adays_o also_o when_o we_o see_v the_o truth_n oppress_v so_o as_o some_o man_n mock_v at_o we_o and_o othersome_a go_v about_o to_o bite_v we_o yea_o and_o too_o eat_v we_o up_o because_o we_o maintain_v the_o truth_n let_v we_o fight_v against_o such_o temptation_n for_o that_o be_v the_o enforcement_n which_o ought_v to_o set_v we_o forward_o sometime_o we_o will_v be_v ashamed_a to_o maintain_v a_o good_a quarrel_n because_o we_o see_v that_o man_n do_v but_o make_v a_o mock_n at_o it_o and_o that_o the_o scoffer_n which_o scorn_v god_n will_v also_o be_v so_o malapert_a as_o to_o blear_v out_o their_o tongue_n at_o we_o and_o to_o laugh_v all_o our_o allegation_n to_o scorn_v but_o god_n truth_n must_v not_o be_v despisable_a unto_o we_o though_o the_o world_n reject_v it_o then_o let_v not_o these_o temptation_n withhold_v we_o from_o fight_v valiant_o against_o they_o but_o if_o we_o see_v ourselves_o ready_a to_o be_v hate_v and_o that_o man_n practise_v mischeef_n against_o we_o for_o maintain_v good_a quarrel_n let_v we_o not_o give_v they_o over_o for_o all_o that_o true_a it_o be_v that_o that_o be_v enough_o to_o draw_v we_o back_o and_o to_o stop_v our_o mouth_n nevertheless_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o fight_v against_o such_o temptation_n after_o the_o example_n of_o eliu_n you_o see_v then_o how_o god_n servant_n ought_v too_o be_v full_o resolve_v not_o too_o swerve_v from_o confess_v the_o truth_n when_o need_n require_v and_o final_o eliu_n say_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o accept_n of_o person_n with_o he_o and_o that_o he_o will_v not_o use_v any_o flattery_n because_o that_o if_o he_o shall_v soothe_v man_n he_o can_v tell_v whether_o his_o maker_n will_v destroy_v he_o eliu_fw-mi mean_v to_o say_v in_o effect_n that_o he_o will_v not_o be_v bridle_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o speak_v free_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o maintain_v of_o god_n truth_n but_o this_o can_v not_o be_v lay_v forth_o at_o length_n as_o now_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o to_o have_v elius_n mean_v sure_o it_o be_v not_o a_o evil_a thing_n nor_o utter_o to_o be_v condemn_v to_o call_v a_o man_n by_o a_o honourable_a title_n howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o same_o do_v oftentimes_o hinder_v we_o and_o abash_v we_o before_o hand_n so_o as_o we_o have_v not_o such_o liberty_n as_o be_v requisite_a to_o do_v our_o duty_n in_o speak_v plain_o and_o flat_o when_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o therefore_o do_v eliu_n say_v that_o he_o will_v not_o give_v title_n to_o man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o will_v not_o exaltman_n so_o high_a but_o that_o the_o truth_n shall_v be_v above_o they_o so_o then_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o although_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o yield_v honour_n unto_o man_n yea_o and_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o insomuch_o that_o we_o must_v honour_v not_o only_o our_o superior_n or_o equal_n but_o

surmount_v we_o in_o degree_n always_o the_o truth_n must_v be_v prefer_v before_o man_n and_o although_o we_o yield_v every_o man_n the_o honour_n that_o belong_v to_o he_o and_o which_o he_o deserve_v yet_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o speak_v always_o free_o without_o accept_v of_o person_n according_a as_o we_o know_v that_o when_o we_o speak_v in_o god_n name_n he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o do_v it_o without_o feign_v â–ª_o than_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o honour_n god_n as_o be_v meet_v and_o as_o he_o deserve_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o utter_v our_o word_n free_o when_o we_o speak_v to_o man_n and_o as_o i_o say_v that_o will_v be_v no_o impeachment_n of_o yield_v every_o man_n his_o due_a honour_n for_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v not_o have_v our_o mouth_n shut_v but_o every_o of_o we_o must_v follow_v his_o own_o call_n and_o when_o it_o come_v to_o our_o turn_n to_o speak_v we_o must_v speak_v truth_n you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v away_o in_o this_o last_o say_n of_o elius_n to_o the_o end_n that_o such_o as_o bear_v office_n in_o the_o common_a weal_n shall_v speak_v free_o as_o they_o ought_v too_o do_v and_o that_o every_o of_o we_o although_o all_o have_v not_o the_o office_n of_o teach_v and_o pronounce_v sentence_n public_o shall_v nevertheless_o confess_v the_o truth_n free_o when_o it_o be_v require_v at_o our_o hand_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n accept_v it_o as_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o honour_n do_v unto_o he_o and_o that_o we_o do_v so_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o keep_n of_o the_o rule_n that_o be_v give_v

he_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v they_o better_o than_o we_o have_v do_v and_o that_o for_o the_o bring_v thereof_o to_o pass_v we_o may_v not_o presume_v aught_o of_o ourselves_o know_v well_o that_o we_o can_v open_v our_o mouth_n except_o he_o guide_v and_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o may_v please_v he_o too_o instruct_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o

gift_n of_o god_n he_o have_v not_o receive_v it_o for_o himself_o ▪_o but_o he_o must_v apply_v it_o whole_o to_o the_o common_a use_n behold_v also_o how_o god_n will_v have_v our_o charity_n

drown_v by_o we_o but_o rather_o we_o must_v bring_v it_o to_o light_n and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o we_o have_v believe_v then_o must_v we_o speak_v so_o then_o faith_n must_v not_o be_v a_o dead_a thing_n but_o she_o must_v utter_v herself_o and_o s._n paul_n do_v well_o verify_v the_o say_a sentence_n of_o the_o psalm_n for_o he_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o

every_o one_o of_o we_o must_v apply_v this_o lesson_n to_o himself_o for_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o that_o will_v say_v it_o be_v enough_o if_o every_o man_n believe_v in_o his_o own_o heart_n as_o who_o will_v say_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v join_v together_o may_v be_v separate_v by_o man_n but_o we_o have_v see_v already_o the_o record_n of_o david_n which_o be_v that_o such_o

more_o to_o one_o than_o to_o another_o but_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v do_v man_n good_a with_o they_o therefore_o let_v every_o of_o we_o have_v a_o care_n to_o advance_v and_o to_o spread_v

whereunto_o god_n call_v we_o too_o the_o end_n he_o may_v be_v glorify_v among_o we_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o yet_o must_v the_o other_o point_n press_v we_o more_o when_o sophar_n

therefore_o sophar_n do_v he_o great_a wrong_n nevertheless_o this_o doctrine_n continue_v in_o itself_o always_o good_a and_o true_a and_o we_o must_v hold_v it_o so_o for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n
