A00686	A briefe conference betwixt mans frailtie and faith wherein is declared the true vse, and comfort of those blessings pronounced by Christ in the fifth of Matthew, that euery Christian man and woman ought to make and take hold of in their seuerall tentations and conflicts: laide downe in this plaine order of dialogue, to helpe, if it please God, the conceit and feeling of the simplest.

bless_v and_o experience_n make_v we_o merciful_a then_o whensoever_o the_o lord_n give_v we_o any_o taste_n of_o woe_n he_o do_v but_o school_v we_o unto_o happiness_n but_o i_o pass_v it_o over_o and_o now_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o a_o very_a monster_n and_o ugly_a beast_n in_o nature_n he_o be_v who_o have_v himself_o drink_v of_o the_o beggar_n dish_n and_o taste_v the_o smart_n of_o

hand_n and_o heart_n away_o when_o pitiful_a suit_n be_v make_v unto_o he_o for_o some_o comfort_n and_o mercifulnesse_n then_o view_v we_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o force_n of_o sight_n in_o such_o example_n as_o we_o have_v commend_v to_o we_o in_o the_o scripture_n when_o pharaoh_n daughter_n see_v little_a moses_n in_o the_o basket_n she_o pity_v it_o when_o 14._o jesus_n see_v the_o multitude_n he_o have_v compassion_n on_o they_o and_o heal_v all_o their_o sick_a when_o he_o see_v their_o want_n of_o teacher_n 18._o he_o pity_v they_o when_o he_o see_v the_o woman_n weep_v who_o

that_o see_v his_o brother_n want_n and_o turn_v his_o face_n away_o o_o how_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o he_o with_o a_o number_n such_o so_o that_o sight_n i_o say_v above_o either_o hear_n or_o many_o other_o mean_n be_v a_o vehement_a worker_n of_o this_o virtue_n in_o we_o if_o we_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o of_o this_o virtue_n not_o in_o part_n but_o in_o whole_a for_o if_o you_o mark_v the_o example_n again_o you_o shall_v neither_o see_v pity_n without_o help_n nor_o help_v without_o entire_a compassion_n in_o they_o but_o both_o together_o the_o one_o follow_v ever_o after_o and_o upon_o the_o other_o which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o shall_v we_o take_v a_o view_n of_o ourselves_o occasion_v by_o this_o doctrine_n and_o diligent_o weigh_v what_o either_o sight_n of_o other_o man_n woe_n or_o hear_v or_o any_o other_o mean_n work_v in_o we_o and_o if_o we_o find_v a_o fiintie_a heart_n within_o we_o whatsoever_o we_o see_v or_o hear_v judge_v then_o betimes_o what_o will_v be_v our_o case_n at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o when_o bless_v shall_v be_v the_o merciful_a sure_o we_o shall_v find_v what_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v that_o judgement_n without_o mercy_n shall_v be_v unto_o we_o because_o 13._o we_o have_v show_v no_o mercy_n and_o if_o we_o find_v the_o contrary_a as_o great_o may_v it_o joy_n we_o again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n but_o i_o forget_v myself_o in_o follow_v this_o discourse_n too_o far_o and_o therefore_o here_o will_v i_o cut_v it_o off_o once_o again_o desire_v you_o neither_o in_o this_o virtue_n nor_o other_o ever_o so_o much_o to_o regard_v what_o the_o world_n do_v think_v as_o what_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n that_o make_v the_o world_n do_v judge_v for_o if_o you_o do_v you_o shall_v never_o while_o you_o live_v keep_v a_o straight_a course_n in_o any_o good_a the_o lord_n say_v the_o merciful_a man_n shall_v be_v bless_v therefore_o shame_n unto_o the_o face_n that_o once_o avouch_v it_o that_o mercy_n make_v miserable_a the_o lord_n accept_v it_o let_v the_o world_n neglect_v it_o the_o lord_n reward_v it_o let_v a_o senseless_a worldling_n be_v never_o so_o ungrateful_a and_o what_o the_o lord_n reward_v it_o can_v never_o make_v a_o man_n worse_o if_o he_o use_v it_o therefore_o be_v merciful_a what_o shall_v i_o say_v certain_o frailty_n till_o god_n become_v false_a till_o his_o

ability_n in_o we_o can_v never_o impoverish_v we_o beyond_o our_o good_a as_o you_o plain_o see_v and_o therefore_o your_o temptation_n be_v answer_v and_o your_o weakness_n strengthen_v if_o the_o

next_o temptation_n arise_v by_o dissimulation_n and_o a_o mighty_a motion_n you_o find_v to_o do_v as_o the_o world_n do_v but_o frailty_n will_v you_o leave_v to_o think_v gain_n to_o be_v
