come_v to_o the_o four_o the_o four_o particular_a be_v the_o difference_n violence_n betwixt_o a_o heady_a and_o rash_a and_o a_o holy_a and_o religious_a violence_n now_o i_o shall_v show_v that_o in_o 10_o particular_n 1_o it_o be_v most_o see_v in_o trivial_a and_o circumstantial_a matter_n such_o be_v the_o violence_n of_o the_o pharisee_n about_o wash_v their_o vessel_n and_o their_o hand_n before_o meat_n but_o they_o never_o look_v after_o the_o wash_n of_o the_o heart_n so_o the_o prelatical_a party_n show_v much_o heat_n and_o violence_n about_o ceremony_n whereas_o they_o be_v lukewarm_v yea_o cold_a in_o more_o substantial_a matter_n the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o the_o strict_a exercise_n of_o holiness_n etc._n etc._n they_o be_v very_o violent_a for_o the_o linen_n ephod_n though_o it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v a_o leprous_a skin_n under_o it_o they_o take_v great_a care_n to_o have_v rail_n about_o the_o communion-table_n but_o never_o take_v care_n to_o make_v a_o rail_v to_o keep_v profane_a person_n from_o the_o profanation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n but_o now_o a_o godly_a man_n be_v most_o conversant_a about_o that_o which_o may_v be_v most_o advantageous_a to_o he_o which_o will_v bring_v he_o near_o heaven_n which_o will_v be_v of_o most_o use_n to_o he_o to_o glorify_v god_n and_o to_o save_v his_o soul_n 2_o it_o be_v kindle_v by_o passion_n and_o vain_a glory_n in_o the_o one_o by_o a_o zeal_n and_o holy_a indignation_n in_o the_o other_o thus_o many_o man_n be_v zealous_a in_o the_o broach_n of_o error_n when_o they_o can_v get_v glory_n by_o hold_v the_o truth_n than_o they_o will_v give_v up_o themselves_o to_o vent_v error_n whereas_o true_a violence_n come_v from_o a_o better_a principle_n and_o aim_v at_o a_o high_a end_n the_o fire_n of_o the_o altar_n be_v to_o come_v from_o heaven_n levit._n 9_o 24._o and_o when_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n 24._o offer_v sacrifice_n with_o strange_a fire_n it_o be_v not_o
