great_a man_n of_o the_o world_n the_o most_o politic_a and_o wary_a man_n of_o the_o world_n in_o all_o age_n have_v and_o do_v most_o of_o they_o reject_v the_o cause_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n seldom_o willing_a to_o venture_v themselves_o for_o it_o you_o know_v paul_n observe_v it_o in_o his_o day_n 1_o cor._n 1._o 26._o brethren_n you_o see_v your_o call_n not_o many_o noble_a not_o many_o wise_a man_n after_o the_o flesh_n not_o many_o learned_a and_o all_o age_n have_v prove_v it_o so_o and_o when_o multitude_n follow_v christ_n himself_o the_o pharisee_n demand_v do_v any_o of_o the_o ruler_n or_o of_o the_o pharisee_n believe_v on_o he_o john_n 7._o 48._o and_o hierome_n observe_v in_o his_o day_n that_o when_o one_o paulinus_n a_o brave_a young_a noble_a man_n embrace_v christian_a religion_n there_o be_v more_o wonder_v at_o it_o than_o if_o a_o mule_n have_v cast_v a_o foal_n now_o this_o lesson_n may_v full_o instruct_v you_o in_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o so_o far_o as_o any_o of_o their_o principle_n be_v able_a to_o make_v up_o a_o judgement_n the_o cause_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o lose_a cause_n christ_n and_o his_o saint_n be_v but_o like_o david_n against_o goliath_n they_o be_v but_o worm_n against_o a_o mountain_n and_o what_o wise_a man_n will_v ever_o engage_v himself_o in_o such_o a_o foolish_a and_o unlikely_a business_n who_o that_o have_v understanding_n will_v put_v his_o fortune_n into_o a_o ship_n that_o he_o think_v will_v sink_v in_o the_o sea_n which_o will_v dash_v against_o the_o next_o rock_n or_o be_v split_v with_o the_o next_o wave_n indeed_o when_o the_o church_n be_v smile_v upon_o and_o countenance_v by_o king_n and_o prince_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o wise_a rich_a and_o great_a man_n do_v join_v with_o it_o but_o when_o war_n and_o persecution_n be_v raise_v against_o it_o which_o have_v mostwhat_o be_v the_o church_n lot_n hitherto_o wonder_v not_o though_o wise_a man_n withdraw_v from_o it_o when_o they_o can_v see_v nothing_o but_o ruin_n attend_v they_o who_o take_v with_o this_o side_n and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n of_o their_o withdraw_n and_o this_o also_o abundant_o satisfy_v i_o in_o our_o present_a trouble_n wherein_o we_o have_v have_v so_o many_o lord_n so_o many_o gentleman_n so_o many_o learned_a man_n so_o many_o great_a and_o rich_a man_n to_o have_v desert_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o parliament_n be_v engage_v in_o i_o solemn_o profess_v i_o rather_o wonder_v that_o any_o wise_a man_n if_o not_o sanctify_v have_v stay_v that_o any_o man_n not_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n shall_v venture_v himself_o in_o a_o cause_n that_o appear_v so_o desperate_a as_o this_o cause_n of_o christ_n have_v do_v to_o the_o eye_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n i_o just_o call_v it_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n because_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o parliament_n engage_v themselves_o for_o reformation_n of_o religion_n as_o well_o as_o preserve_v civil_a liberty_n have_v provoke_v most_o of_o these_o enemy_n against_o they_o therefore_o let_v this_o satisfy_v you_o abundant_o when_o the_o multitude_n of_o the_o world_n general_o go_v against_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n they_o think_v it_o folly_n to_o own_o it_o because_o they_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o lose_a cause_n but_o the_o other_o
