133._o matter_n where_o the_o first_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o which_o be_v good_a aught_o ever_o 1._o great_o to_o be_v regard_v and_o maintain_v among_o man_n but_o much_o more_o if_o it_o both_o be_v good_a &_o pleasant_a too_o for_o these_o both_o do_v not_o ever_o concur_v together_o but_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v peace_n and_o love_n amongst_o man_n for_o behold_v how_o good_a and_o pleasant_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v brethren_n to_o dwell_v together_o in_o unity_n behold_v i_o say_v and_o even_o mark_v it_o earnest_o therefore_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v regard_v and_o mainten_v ever_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o power_n among_o us._n his_o second_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o which_o 2._o cast_v a_o comfort_n from_o it_o like_o the_o precious_a ointment_n that_o be_v appoint_v for_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o lord_n aaron_n and_o his_o successor_n and_o even_o such_o a_o comfort_n as_o that_o ointment_n have_v when_o it_o be_v not_o spare_o drop_v but_o even_o

his_o three_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o which_o 3._o be_v have_v be_v to_o man_n as_o the_o dew_n descend_v from_o the_o mountain_n to_o y_z e_z ground_n and_o be_v want_v be_v as_o the_o want_n of_o moisture_n to_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v thrice_o needful_a gainful_a and_o good_a to_o man_n but_o such_o be_v unity_n peace_n and_o love_n even_o like_o the_o dew_n of_o hermon_n that_o fall_v upon_o the_o hill_n of_o zion_n therefore_o to_o be_v regard_v and_o maintain_v great_o his_o last_o and_o not_o his_o least_o argument_n wherewith_o he_o end_v both_o this_o matter_n and_o 4._o that_o psalm_n withal_o be_v this_o that_o which_o pull_v upon_o man_n even_o all_o the_o temporal_a blessing_n of_o god_n and_o life_n for_o evermore_o that_o be_v a_o thousand_o time_n profitable_a both_o to_o they_o and_o they_o but_o such_o say_v the_o prophet_n be_v peace_n and_o unity_n love_n and_o agreement_n among_o man_n therefore_o to_o be_v regard_v and_o maintain_v great_o thus_o you_o see_v one_o man_n judgement_n and_o that_o such_o a_o man_n as_o have_v abundance_n of_o god_n most_o bless_a spirit_n to_o direct_v his_o heart_n to_o think_v and_o pen_n to_o write_v and_o
