come_v to_o witness_v the_o apostle_n word_n who_o say_v that_o neither_o circumcision_n which_o be_v outward_a nor_o uncircumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n but_o a_o new_a creature_n but_o ah_o you_o priest_n ruler_n and_o persecutor_n that_o be_v rise_v up_o against_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o these_o time_n how_o have_v you_o appear_v against_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o by_o your_o fruit_n you_o be_v know_v to_o be_v those_o that_o christ_n speak_v of_o to_o his_o disciple_n who_o say_v by_o their_o fruit_n you_o shall_v know_v they_o and_o he_o also_o bid_v they_o that_o have_v the_o everlasting_a gospel_n to_o preach_v as_o they_o have_v free_o receive_v free_o give_v but_o wherein_o have_v your_o love_n appear_v to_o god_n or_o to_o your_o neighbour_n to_o love_v the_o lord_n your_o god_n with_o all_o your_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o your_o soul_n and_o your_o neighbour_n as_o yourselves_o on_o which_o two_o great_a commandment_n hang_v all_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n which_o must_v be_v fulfil_v in_o the_o royal_a law_n of_o christ_n within_o but_o you_o have_v rather_o appear_v like_o they_o that_o come_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o city_n desire_v christ_n to_o depart_v out_o of_o their_o coast_n for_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o few_o swine_n notwithstanding_o the_o great_a miracle_n which_o he_o do_v for_o their_o neighbour_n in_o cast_v out_o legion_n of_o devil_n that_o do_v torment_v he_o and_o he_o sit_v by_o jesus_n clothe_v and_o in_o his_o right_a mind_n o_o therefore_o blush_v and_o be_v ashamed_a you_o that_o pretend_v the_o scripture_n be_v your_o only_a rule_n and_o live_v so_o contrary_a to_o it_o for_o have_v you_o not_o appear_v worse_o than_o those_o who_o pray_v christ_n to_o depart_v out_o from_o their_o coast_n to_o save_v their_o outward_a substance_n and_o will_v have_v none_o of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o way_n for_o you_o have_v reject_v and_o despise_a christ_n in_o his_o appearance_n who_o have_v wait_v long_o to_o be_v gracious_a to_o your_o soul_n though_o he_o have_v knock_v so_o long_o at_o the_o door_n of_o your_o heart_n till_o his_o lock_n have_v be_v wet_a with_o the_o dew_n of_o the_o night_n and_o yet_o you_o still_o refuse_v he_o and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o way_n and_o have_v rather_o entertain_v your_o legion_n of_o unclean_a thought_n and_o ungodly_a deed_n and_o have_v also_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o live_n without_o sin_n on_o this_o side_n the_o grave_a and_o so_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o hell_n and_o death_n which_o must_v be_v break_v if_o ever_o you_o come_v to_o know_v the_o travail_n of_o your_o soul_n as_o david_n do_v when_o he_o cry_v under_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n judgement_n for_o sin_n that_o he_o will_v give_v no_o sleep_n to_o his_o eye_n nor_o slumber_n to_o his_o eyelid_n till_o he_o have_v find_v a_o habitation_n for_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n to_o dwell_v in_o for_o he_o must_v have_v the_o whole_a heart_n where_o he_o take_v up_o his_o abode_n and_o no_o room_n leave_v for_o uncleanness_n o_o therefore_o search_v and_o see_v whether_o you_o be_v not_o worse_o than_o they_o that_o desire_v christ_n to_o depart_v from_o they_o to_o save_v self_n that_o will_v give_v no_o room_n for_o christ_n in_o your_o own_o heart_n to_o reign_v there_o nor_o no_o room_n for_o his_o subject_n that_o be_v under_o the_o reign_n of_o his_o power_n though_o we_o will_v eat_v our_o own_o bread_n and_o wear_v our_o own_o apparel_n but_o you_o be_v take_v away_o our_o outward_a substance_n which_o the_o lord_n
