its_o causa_fw-la non_fw-la separatio_fw-la facit_fw-la schismaticum_fw-la it_o be_v the_o cause_n not_o a_o separation_n that_o make_v a_o schismatic_n this_o have_v always_o be_v the_o slander_n cast_v upon_o reformation_n quot_fw-la homines_fw-la tot_fw-la evangelia_n so_o many_o man_n so_o many_o gospel_n and_o luther_n be_v often_o require_v not_o to_o divide_v the_o inconsutilis_fw-la tunica_fw-la the_o seamless_a coat_n of_o christ_n therefore_o he_o call_v his_o adversary_n inconsutilistae_fw-la and_o tunicastri_fw-la lay_v then_o this_o blame_v not_o upon_o reformation_n that_o only_o can_v remove_v such_o thing_n but_o upon_o those_o who_o be_v the_o father_n of_o these_o rent_n 9_o the_o nine_o let_v to_o reformation_n be_v the_o outward_a trouble_n and_o commotion_n that_o do_v accompany_v it_o and_o certain_o these_o lie_n in_o the_o way_n of_o reformation_n as_o amasaes_n carcase_n that_o stop_v all_o the_o passenger_n but_o this_o our_o saviour_n foretell_v i_o come_v to_o send_v a_o fire_n and_o a_o sword_n and_o to_o set_v father_n against_o son_n and_o son_n against_o father_n not_o that_o our_o saviour_n mean_v this_o be_v the_o finis_fw-la operantis_fw-la that_o he_o intend_v this_o but_o that_o it_o be_v finis_fw-la operis_fw-la there_o will_v be_v this_o event_n wheresoever_o his_o pure_a and_o powerful_a preach_n be_v set_v up_o for_o he_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o but_o the_o stubborn_a and_o rebellious_a heart_n of_o man_n make_v it_o neither_o the_o physician_n nor_o the_o physic_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o pain_n and_o trouble_v the_o sick_a man_n feel_v but_o the_o ill_a humour_n that_o have_v be_v long_o gather_v in_o he_o 10._o the_o unthankfulness_n of_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v no_o more_o esteem_v or_o prize_v those_o instrument_n which_o god_n send_v to_o deliver_v they_o by_o thus_o they_o be_v unthankful_a to_o moses_n and_o aaron_n and_o the_o roman_a worthy_n have_v drink_v of_o this_o cup_n therefore_o one_o heathen_a when_o his_o son_n be_v desirous_a of_o public_a service_n he_o carry_v he_o to_o the_o board_n and_o plank_n of_o old_a weatherbeaten_a ship_n that_o lay_v upon_o the_o shore_n loe_o say_v he_o thus_o the_o people_n will_v do_v to_o thou_o after_o they_o have_v use_v thy_o service_n and_o so_o another_o heathen_a complain_v who_o have_v do_v much_o public_a service_n but_o neglect_v that_o he_o be_v like_o the_o tree_n which_o the_o beast_n run_v to_o in_o time_n of_o a_o storm_n and_o when_o that_o be_v over_o they_o fall_v on_o crop_v and_o browze_v of_o it_o now_o as_o this_o unthankfulness_n be_v a_o gross_a sin_n so_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v any_o discouragement_n for_o those_o who_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o public_a good_a luther_n be_v much_o offend_v at_o this_o and_o therefore_o he_o tell_v we_o his_o temptation_n cum_fw-la hac_fw-la itavideo_fw-la non_fw-la nunquam_fw-la impatientia_fw-la frangor_fw-la and_o serio_fw-la cogio_fw-la nisi_fw-la illa_fw-la doctrina_fw-la in_fw-la mundum_fw-la jam_fw-la sparsa_fw-la esset_fw-la me_fw-la quidvis_fw-la potius_fw-la facturum_fw-la quam_fw-la ut_fw-la ingrato_fw-la mundo_fw-la ostenderem_fw-la sed_fw-la hae_fw-la cogitationes_fw-la sunt_fw-la carnis_fw-la when_o i_o see_v this_o ingratitude_n i_o be_o sometime_o break_v with_o impatience_n and_o serious_o resolve_v unless_o this_o doctrine_n have_v be_v already_o disperse_v i_o will_v rather_o have_v do_v any_o thing_n than_o declare_v it_o to_o this_o unthankful_a world_n but_o these_o be_v the_o thought_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v many_o urgent_a motive_n and_o argument_n why_o reformer_n shall_v go_v on_o 1._o because_o god_n have_v severe_o punish_v the_o neglect_n of_o any_o order_n he_o have_v leave_v with_o his_o church_n though_o they_o have_v do_v much_o yet_o if_o they_o have_v not_o do_v complete_o he_o have_v be_v angry_a hence_o you_o read_v so_o often_o nevertheless_o the_o high_a place_n be_v not_o take_v away_o may_v not_o the_o judgement_n upon_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n for_o offer_v strange_a fire_n may_v not_o the_o breach_n god_n make_v upon_o uzzah_n for_o ever_o awaken_v reformer_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v connive_v and_o indulgent_a to_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o least_o command_n of_o he_o o_o you_o worthy_a patriot_n think_v not_o that_o you_o be_v free_a and_o at_o your_o own_o disposal_n how_o much_o or_o how_o little_a be_v to_o be_v do_v for_o god_n you_o be_v accountable_a to_o god_n for_o jotae_n and_o title_n 2._o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o odious_a unto_o he_o then_o corruption_n in_o his_o church_n what_o detestable_a name_n do_v i_o scripture_n put_v upon_o idol_n and_o the_o false_a prophet_n be_v call_v the_o tail_n and_o our_o saviour_n when_o he_o be_v to_o purge_v out_o the_o corruption_n from_o his_o temple_n he_o make_v a_o whip_n and_o drive_v the_o polluter_n out_o a_o strange_a way_n it_o be_v but_o hereby_o he_o will_v show_v how_o odious_a such_o be_v to_o he_o even_o as_o so_o many_o dog_n in_o his_o presence_n consider_v that_o speech_n john_n 4._o my_o father_n seek_v such_o who_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n he_o seek_v such_o which_o argue_v how_o precious_a and_o delightsome_a they_o be_v unto_o he_o that_o worship_v he_o in_o his_o own_o way_n therefore_o our_o saviour_n tell_v the_o pharisee_n that_o that_o which_o be_v high_o esteem_v among_o they_o as_o great_a piety_n and_o devotion_n it_o be_v {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o a_o abomination_n before_o god_n oh_o than_o let_v we_o not_o do_v any_o abominable_a thing_n 3._o a_o three_o motive_n be_v whatsoever_o carnal_a statist_n think_v yet_o do_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o this_o we_o be_v sure_a ofblessing_n remember_v those_o two_o place_n quote_v before_o for_o we_o desire_v they_o may_v always_o stick_v upon_o your_o heart_n how_o ill_o it_o be_v when_o there_o be_v no_o law_n nor_o no_o preach_v priest_n and_o then_o how_o well_o it_o be_v when_o jehosaphat_n set_v up_o those_o that_o teach_v the_o good_a knowledge_n of_o god_n it_o be_v true_a we_o may_v be_v a_o long_a while_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o god_n for_o the_o sin_n ofhis_fw-la own_o people_n may_v suffer_v the_o enemy_n to_o prevail_v but_o we_o be_v always_o to_o remember_v the_o end_n of_o the_o lord_n mark_v the_o end_n of_o all_o reformation_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o be_v peace_n and_o as_o we_o say_v of_o the_o sorrow_n and_o sadness_n of_o a_o particular_a godly_a man_n it_o be_v not_o his_o godliness_n that_o make_v he_o so_o but_o because_o he_o have_v not_o godliness_n enough_o so_o of_o a_o church_n or_o state_n it_o be_v not_o a_o reformation_n that_o make_v woe_n and_o misery_n but_o because_o we_o be_v not_o reform_v enough_o we_o be_v not_o willing_a for_o this_o 4._o consider_v how_o much_o man_n venture_v to_o prepare_v way_n for_o antichrist_n and_o to_o make_v his_o path_n straight_o do_v not_o man_n venture_v their_o estate_n and_o their_o life_n that_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n may_v become_v a_o man_n of_o glory_n and_o shall_v not_o we_o do_v as_o much_o for_o christ_n will_v not_o the_o prison_n and_o misery_n wherein_o they_o suffer_v witness_n against_o our_o dastardliness_n do_v not_o the_o people_n bring_v their_o earring_n to_o make_v the_o golden_a calf_n do_v not_o the_o corinthian_n suffer_v the_o false_a apostle_n to_o buffet_v they_o and_o smite_v they_o shall_v there_o be_v martyr_n for_o error_n and_o not_o for_o truth_n as_o that_o good_a old_a pambus_n weep_v when_o he_o see_v a_o strumpet_n cunning_o dress_v herself_o to_o please_v her_o lover_n because_o he_o can_v not_o take_v as_o much_o pain_n to_o please_v god_n so_o do_v thou_o when_o thou_o hear_v of_o the_o papist_n and_o such_o adversary_n make_v themselves_o poor_a and_o venture_v their_o life_n that_o error_n may_v be_v advance_v why_o do_v thou_o not_o humble_v thyself_o because_o thou_o be_v not_o so_o forward_o or_o self-denying_a for_o the_o truth_n use_v of_o exhortation_n that_o now_o we_o will_v prepare_v the_o way_n for_o christ_n god_n will_v reform_v his_o church_n by_o other_o mean_n if_o we_o do_v not_o promote_v it_o take_v heed_n lest_o while_o we_o be_v negligent_a he_o come_v down_o himself_o as_o it_o be_v and_o scourge_v out_o all_o profaneness_n from_o his_o temple_n and_o so_o you_o lose_v both_o your_o reward_n and_o comfort_n consider_v that_o as_o it_o be_v your_o danger_n to_o prepare_v christ_n way_n so_o it_o be_v the_o great_a honour_n that_o god_n do_v ever_o put_v upon_o you_o how_o many_o thousand_o that_o shall_v find_v the_o benefit_n and_o sweetness_n of_o drink_v the_o pure_a stream_n of_o god_n ordinance_n will_v then_o bless_v god_n for_o you_o in_o these_o matter_n of_o god_n consult_v not_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n remember_v
