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.

hear_v the_o lord_n i_o say_v that_o never_o lie_v bless_a be_v the_o pure_a in_o hart_n for_o they_o shall_v see_v god_n you_o hear_v his_o servant_n david_n again_o bless_a be_v that_o man_n in_o who_o spirit_n there_o be_v no_o guile_n no_o guile_n i_o say_v again_o and_o the_o lord_n give_v we_o strength_n against_o discouragement_n from_o peacemaking_n the_o seven_o temptation_n your_o next_o complaint_n be_v of_o slackness_n that_o créepe_v upon_o you_o daily_o more_o and_o more_o in_o labour_v to_o pacify_v disagrée_v neighbour_n against_o which_o your_o conscience_n cry_v and_o indeed_o with_o cause_n for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a offence_n hateful_a to_o god_n and_o hurtful_a to_o the_o common_a wealth_n in_o general_a and_o to_o many_o a_o man_n in_o several_a but_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n frailtie_n strengthen_v yourself_o by_o a_o earnest_a consideration_n of_o the_o great_a excellency_n of_o that_o christian_a virtue_n of_o peace_n and_o unity_n and_o fix_v not_o your_o eye_n so_o much_o upon_o the_o acceptance_n of_o man_n that_o have_v ever_o have_v their_o corruption_n and_o ever_o wil._n the_o virtue_n you_o shall_v find_v in_o very_o high_a degree_n commend_v unto_o man_n by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n of_o god_n unity_n in_o many_o place_n and_o by_o many_o argument_n but_o i_o will_v refer_v the_o note_n and_o name_v of_o they_o to_o your_o own_o diligence_n and_o content_v myself_o in_o a_o short_a speech_n with_o a_o very_a few_o begin_v first_o with_o that_o notable_a psalm_n of_o the_o prophet_n david_n whole_o spend_v in_o this_o 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 plentiful_o pour_v and_o so_o plentiful_o as_o that_o it_o run_v down_o even_o from_o the_o top_n of_o the_o head_n to_o the_o skirt_n of_o his_o clothing_n that_o be_v a_o notable_a thing_n among_o man_n and_o by_o all_o mean_n to_o be_v retain_v and_o seek_v but_o this_o be_v peace_n and_o unity_n love_n and_o agreement_n among_o they_o therefore_o to_o be_v regard_v and_o maintain_v great_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 as_o in_o truth_n be_v every_o way_n then_o renown_v and_o now_o remain_v by_o the_o lord_n himself_o in_o high_a degree_n above_o other_o commend_v to_o us._n unto_o who_o if_o you_o add_v some_o other_o scripture_n you_o shall_v more_o peradventure_o be_v confirm_v with_o diversity_n though_o this_o indeed_o be_v sufficient_a consider_v therefore_o also_o those_o often_o repetition_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n my_o peace_n i_o give_v 34._o to_o you_o my_o peace_n i_o leave_v with_o you_o love_v one_o a_o other_o for_o this_o be_v my_o commandment_n that_o you_o love_v one_o a_o other_o as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o and_o hereby_o shall_v man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o love_v one_o a_o other_o yea_o a_o new_a commandment_n i_o give_v you_o that_o you_o love_v one_o a_o other_o will_v ever_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v thus_o go_v over_o and_o over_o it_o again_o and_o iterate_a charge_n upon_o charge_n in_o this_o order_n if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v a_o most_o excellent_a virtue_n in_o every_o country_n town_n and_o house_n love_n and_o agreement_n mark_v again_o that_o most_o earnest_a exhortation_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n unto_o the_o same_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o ephesian_n desire_v they_o 1._o in_o his_o bond_n for_o the_o lord_n cause_n that_o they_o will_v support_v one_o a_o other_o through_o love_n indevor_v to_o keep_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n and_o why_o for_o there_o be_v one_o body_n and_o one_o spirit_n one_o hope_n of_o call_v one_o lord_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n one_o god_n and_o father_n of_o all_o etc._n etc._n a_o most_o vehement_a and_o urge_v reason_n if_o i_o shall_v follow_v it_o and_o lay_v it_o plain_o open_v and_o mark_v a_o multitude_n of_o other_o place_n to_o the_o same_o conclusion_n which_o assure_o the_o lord_n will_v never_o have_v utter_v but_o that_o the_o price_n of_o peace_n unity_n and_o love_n be_v very_o precious_a in_o his_o eye_n and_o to_o all_o estate_n a_o most_o sovereign_a good_a in_o the_o world_n see_v also_o how_o sensible_o unity_n thing_n in_o nature_n carry_v we_o to_o this_o consideration_n for_o by_o experience_n we_o find_v it_o that_o if_o the_o heaven_n agree_v to_o moisten_v 22._o the_o earth_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v moisten_v to_o give_v her_o increase_n we_o be_v all_o the_o 32._o better_a for_o their_o unity_n and_o if_o they_o shall_v but_o even_o a_o little_a while_n either_o of_o they_o deny_v his_o office_n quick_o and_o great_o shall_v we_o feel_v the_o smart_n of_o it_o also_o therefore_o judge_v by_o this_o the_o fruit_n of_o good_a agreement_n again_o if_o the_o humour_n in_o man_n body_n be_v at_o a_o agreement_n not_o one_o above_o a_o other_o but_o very_o equal_o as_o be_v best_a proportion_v and_o mix_v all_o the_o whole_a body_n be_v comfortable_a prosper_v and_o do_v well_o but_o if_o once_o any_o one_o abound_v or_o want_v and_o their_o sweet_a harmony_n be_v break_v then_o by_o and_o by_o the_o whole_a body_n feel_v it_o and_o if_o a_o reconciliation_n be_v not_o make_v with_o convenient_a speed_n it_o perish_v therefore_o judge_v by_o this_o the_o fruit_n of_o good_a agreement_n again_o if_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n well_o agree_v to_o do_v their_o several_a duty_n all_o be_v well_o but_o if_o either_o eye_n deny_v to_o guide_v foot_n to_o go_v hand_n to_o reach_n stomach_n to_o digest_v or_o so_o forth_o straight_o the_o whole_a body_n fall_v to_o hurt_v and_o therefore_o see_v by_o this_o the_o fruit_n of_o good_a agreement_n last_o of_o all_o even_o in_o musical_a instrument_n mark_v how_o well_o we_o like_v the_o noise_n so_o long_o as_o every_o string_n do_v keep_v his_o just_a proportion_n &_o how_o present_o we_o
