i_o dare_v not_o meddle_v with_o he_o qua_fw-la driver_n i_o shall_v meet_v with_o he_o in_o the_o text_n be_v the_o second_o thing_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o observe_v therein_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o saint_n to_o cheat_v the_o wicked_a i_o have_v at_o large_a treat_v of_o the_o act_n contain_v in_o the_o text_n namely_o the_o cheat_n i_o be_o now_o come_v to_o the_o actor_n and_o those_o you_o see_v be_v saint_n what_o kind_n of_o saint_n partly_o appear_v by_o that_o have_v be_v say_v and_o shall_v be_v show_v here_o more_o full_o some_o divide_v mankind_n into_o two_o sort_n viz._n the_o godly_a and_o the_o ungodly_a in_o truth_n and_o reality_n our_o saint_n must_v be_v rank_v under_o the_o latter_a head_n for_o it_o be_v too_o plain_a his_o action_n show_v he_o to_o be_v one_o of_o that_o party_n but_o he_o have_v a_o privilege_n the_o privilege_n i_o speak_v of_o before_o to_o be_v account_v and_o reckon_v among_o the_o godly_a and_o as_o one_o of_o that_o form_n we_o must_v take_v he_o here_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o privilege_n to_o be_v repute_a so_o but_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o practice_n for_o they_o show_v he_o to_o be_v quite_o another_o thing_n i_o promise_v you_o to_o sub-divide_a those_o general_a head_n of_o separatist_n fanatic_a etc._n etc._n and_o present_a you_o with_o the_o several_a sort_n and_o fry_v that_o be_v contain_v under_o they_o but_o see_v the_o distinction_n will_v be_v infinite_a so_o much_o have_v they_o be_v ever_o give_v to_o division_n i_o shall_v confound_v you_o with_o subdivision_n and_o new_a name_n for_o every_o sect_n take_v up_o a_o new_a name_n with_o the_o old_a villainy_n they_o change_v the_o name_n but_o retain_v the_o sin_n as_o those_o which_o be_v call_v pharisees_n of_o

with_o i_o for_o it_o but_o you_o may_v know_v they_o by_o these_o mark_n their_o word_n and_o their_o work_n never_o agree_v they_o be_v opiniated_a of_o themselves_o and_o condemn_v all_o other_o a_o lie_n in_o a_o brother_n mouth_n be_v true_a than_o truth_n itself_o in_o another_o man_n they_o suspect_v and_o conclude_v all_o man_n to_o be_v wicked_a but_o themselves_o they_o begin_v all_o their_o mischief_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o they_o act_n the_o great_a wickedness_n in_o the_o world_n they_o will_v bear_v down_o all_o that_o it_o be_v the_o great_a piece_n of_o piety_n and_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n that_o which_o be_v unjust_a in_o another_o man_n case_n be_v most_o just_a in_o they_o they_o will_v believe_v none_o but_o the_o confide_a man_n of_o their_o own_o party_n by_o these_o mark_n and_o many_o more_o like_o they_o you_o may_v know_v the_o saint_n mean_v in_o the_o text._n in_o a_o word_n the_o world_n be_v his_o stage_n and_o he_o be_v to_o act_n the_o devil_n part_n a_o part_n that_o have_v be_v act_v ever_o since_o the_o world_n begin_v and_o will_v not_o be_v finish_v until_o the_o world_n end_n from_o the_o actor_n or_o agent_n i_o turn_v to_o the_o patient_n the_o person_n that_o be_v to_o be_v cheat_v and_o those_o be_v the_o wicked_a the_o wicked_a but_o who_o be_v they_o in_o short_a they_o be_v all_o those_o that_o do_v oppose_v the_o saint_n oppose_v they_o in_o what_o in_o any_o thing_n for_o if_o that_o which_o do_v agree_v with_o the_o saint_n be_v righteous_a then_o that_o which_o do_v disagree_v with_o the_o saint_n be_v unrighteous_a hence_o it_o proceed_v that_o our_o saint_n do_v and_o may_v rail_v against_o government_n against_o the_o law_n against_o prince_n against_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a ruler_n for_o these_o oppose_v the_o saint_n and_o therefore_o be_v wicked_a yea_o very_o wicked_a and_o may_v be_v cheat_v but_o the_o breaker_n of_o penal_a law_n as_o the_o vintner_n that_o sell_v
