we_o do_v suppose_v he_o to_o be_v elias_n though_o christ_n himself_o have_v tell_v we_o he_o be_v come_v already_o and_o some_o other_o think_v he_o to_o be_v that_o belove_a disciple_n mention_v

be_v merciful_a and_o perfect_a as_o he_o be_v perfect_a which_o be_v such_o hard_a lesson_n to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n that_o few_o love_n to_o hear_v of_o they_o and_o perhaps_o that_o conditional_a ask_v forgiveness_n aforemention_v have_v make_v so_o many_o neglect_n the_o lord_n prayer_n because_o they_o can_v so_o perfect_o forgive_v as_o they_o will_v be_v forgive_v but_o they_o mistake_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n god_n require_v no_o impossible_a thing_n at_o our_o hand_n he_o expect_v not_o such_o perfection_n in_o we_o as_o in_o he_o our_o pattern_n but_o such_o a_o perfection_n of_o imitation_n only_o as_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o and_o i_o hope_v those_o christian_n who_o i_o know_v not_o to_o what_o good_a purpose_n profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v perfect_a do_v not_o mean_v it_o in_o any_o other_o sense_n then_o as_o to_o their_o be_v in_o the_o way_n to_o perfection_n and_o imitation_n of_o their_o pattern_n no_o man_n who_o desire_v the_o picture_n

therefore_o the_o scruple_v at_o this_o conditional_a petition_n be_v causeless_a and_o i_o think_v it_o not_o so_o difficult_a as_o some_o conceive_v it_o for_o a_o man_n who_o heart_n be_v regenerate_v to_o forgive_v either_o his_o brethren_n or_o enemy_n as_o he_o will_v be_v forgive_v or_o as_o christ_n our_o pa●●orn_n do_v according_a to_o our_o proportion_n of_o charity_n for_o stephen_n pray_v for_o his_o persecutor_n who_o stone_v he_o to_o death_n and_o perhaps_o many_o suppose_a to_o be_v our_o persecutor_n in_o mere_a malice_n be_v either_o ignorant_a of_o what_o they_o do_v as_o our_o saviour_n say_v his_o crucifier_n be_v or_o as_o paul_n who_o consent_v unto_o stephen_n death_n say_v that_o he_o do_v all_o thing_n with_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n even_o when_o he_o be_v a_o persecutor_n because_o he_o think_v those_o who_o he_o persecute_v to_o be_v blasphemer_n of_o god_n yea_o it_o seem_v so_o easy_a to_o forgive_v as_o we_o desire_v god_n shall_v forgive_v we_o that_o i_o who_o be_o one_o of_o the_o least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n do_v believe_v praise_v be_v god_n for_o it_o who_o know_v i_o true_o express_v my_o heart_n can_v forgive_v my_o most_o malicious_a enemy_n when_o i_o consider_v that_o the_o worst_a of_o they_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v to_o the_o contrary_a may_v persecute_v i_o either_o because_o he_o be_v a_o ignorant_a fool_n or_o believe_v i_o to_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n or_o to_o the_o public_a peace_n yea_o though_o i_o know_v their_o persecution_n proceed_v from_o mere_a malitiousness_n if_o i_o perceive_v they_o affect_v with_o sorrow_n for_o it_o and_o penitent_a for_o their_o trespass_n against_o other_o man_n i_o can_v forgive_v they_o perfect_o though_o they_o have_v pursue_v i_o to_o a_o inavoidable_a ignominious_a death_n and_o weep_v for_o joy_n of_o it_o though_o since_o i_o be_v of_o understanding_n i_o can_v never_o weep_v for_o loss_n reproach_n pain_n or_o punishment_n occasion_v by_o any_o open_a enemy_n but_o have_v often_o shed_v tear_n when_o thereto_o move_v by_o compassion_n kindness_n or_o unkindness_n of_o friend_n and_o brethren_n 7._o indeed_o if_o all_o thing_n be_v well_o consider_v and_o we_o have_v but_o so_o much_o prudence_n or_o patience_n as_o we_o shall_v have_v it_o will_v not_o be_v difficult_a for_o any_o rational_a man_n to_o forgive_v both_o brethren_n and_o stranger_n friend_n and_o foe_n for_o in_o whatsoever_o they_o trespass_n against_o we_o they_o be_v seldom_o more_o mischievous_a unto_o we_o

malice_n and_o sometime_o a_o accidental_a toy_n make_v those_o who_o for_o many_o year_n together_o live_v in_o such_o hatred_n that_o they_o watch_v all_o opportunity_n to_o destroy_v each_o other_o to_o become_v very_o kind_a neighbour_n and_o they_o who_o seem_v as_o long_o a_o time_n so_o mutual_o endear_v that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v absent_a a_o whole_a day_n have_v outlive_v all_o that_o

time_n be_v neither_o worth_n our_o esteem_n or_o anger_n for_o they_o who_o profess_v most_o kindness_n when_o they_o be_v together_o jeer_v each_o other_o assoon_o as_o depart_v and_o tattle_v as_o contumelious_o to_o their_o mutual_a disparagement_n in_o secret_a as_o enemy_n do_v open_o and_o no_o wise_a man_n will_v much_o more_o be_v trouble_v at_o what_o these_o either_o say_v or_o do_v
