in_o it_o make_v that_o the_o main_a lay_v the_o stress_n of_o their_o whole_a religion_n there_o now_o i_o desire_v this_o may_v be_v consider_v of_o we_o all_o that_o the_o main_a gospel-walking_a

to_o show_v they_o to_o be_v religious_a or_o to_o difference_n they_o from_o other_o man_n who_o have_v no_o religion_n at_o all_o but_o live_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n save_v only_o this_o they_o be_v in_o such_o a_o outward_a way_n or_o they_o do_v now_o and_o then_o perform_v such_o a_o outward_a duty_n take_v they_o out_o of_o their_o way_n and_o from_o their_o duty_n and_o they_o have_v no_o more_o religion_n than_o a_o horse_n all_o their_o religion_n it_o lie_v in_o the_o outside_n they_o have_v as_o little_a in_o their_o heart_n though_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v much_o on_o their_o back_n as_o any_o other_o man_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o very_a usual_a thing_n with_o many_o person_n who_o fain_o will_v be_v rellgious_a and_o love_n to_o be_v so_o account_v and_o

in_o the_o outward_a form_n it_o be_v evident_a such_o a_o one_o put_v too_o much_o in_o it_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o the_o jew_n in_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n time_n their_o whole_a religion_n

be_v one_o outward_o neither_o be_v that_o circumcision_n which_o be_v outward_a in_o the_o flesh_n but_o he_o be_v a_o jew_n which_o be_v one_o inward_o and_o circumcision_n be_v that_o of_o the_o

of_o his_o own_o form_n or_o the_o way_n he_o be_v in_o or_o opinion_n he_o hold_v when_o a_o man_n have_v no_o charity_n to_o spare_v for_o any_o but_o those_o that_o jump_v with_o he_o in_o his_o own_o way_n or_o opinion_n or_o if_o he_o have_v charity_n for_o they_o yet_o because_o they_o do_v not_o full_o accord_v with_o he_o in_o every_o thing_n he_o can_v allow_v they_o but_o a_o little_a of_o his_o love_n or_o of_o the_o exercise_n of_o this_o his_o charity_n i_o have_v know_v some_o myself_o who_o have_v be_v so_o high_a against_o baptise_v of_o infant_n that_o their_o charity_n will_v not_o allow_v that_o man_n one_o grain_n of_o grace_n who_o can_v not_o set_v his_o seal_n present_o to_o this_o their_o opinion_n i_o speak_v not_o this_o to_o throw_v dirt_n in_o the_o face_n of_o any_o but_o only_o to_o show_v how_o that_o some_o man_n there_o be_v who_o put_v too_o much_o in_o form_n paul_n undoubted_o you_o will_v all_o grant_v it_o have_v as_o much_o cause_n to_o be_v

have_v so_o much_o charity_n as_o to_o allow_v he_o to_o be_v a_o brother_n which_o do_v not_o come_v up_o to_o his_o tradition_n 2_o thess_n 3.14_o 15._o and_o if_o any_o man_n obey_v not_o our_o

be_v so_o set_v upon_o some_o outward_a form_n that_o he_o walk_v in_o or_o have_v take_v up_o as_o that_o he_o can_v without_o fly_v out_o and_o show_v much_o passion_n much_o of_o man_n hear_v a_o

thing_n yet_o this_o argue_v he_o to_o put_v too_o much_o in_o it_o thus_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o two_o and_o twenty_o of_o the_o act_n they_o give_v paul_n audience_n till_o he_o come_v to_o those_o word_n depart_v for_o i_o will_v send_v thou_o far_o hence_o unto_o the_o

gentile_n and_o they_o give_v he_o audience_n unto_o this_o word_n and_o then_o lift_v up_o their_o voice_n and_o say_v away_o with_o such_o a_o fellow_n from_o the_o earth_n for_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a that_o he_o shall_v live_v vers_fw-la 21.22_o this_o because_o it_o do_v derogate_v from_o their_o outward_a privilege_n and_o their_o way_n of_o a_o national_a church_n that_o now_o the_o

be_v in_o such_o or_o such_o a_o way_n as_o many_o poor_a soul_n will_v do_v they_o boast_v of_o this_o that_o they_o be_v for_o or_o of_o such_o a_o way_n of_o those_o that_o hold_v such_o a_o

the_o false_a apostle_n make_v a_o glory_v in_o outward_a thing_n as_o circumcision_n etc._n etc._n he_o say_v gal._n 6.14_o god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v glory_n save_v in_o the_o cross_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o the_o world_n be_v crucify_v to_o i_o and_o i_o unto_o the_o world_n he_o make_v spiritual_a thing_n as_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o be_v crucify_v with_o christ_n and_o die_v with_o christ_n and_o that_o in_o opposition_n to_o outward_a thing_n as_o circumcision_n etc._n etc._n which_o the_o false_a apostle_n glory_v in_o the_o only_a matter_n of_o his_o glory_n show_v we_o that_o when_o we_o make_v our_o great_a boast_n and_o glory_v of_o outward_a thing_n we_o put_v too_o much_o in_o those_o thing_n and_o also_o that_o the_o great_a glory_v of_o a_o christian_a shall_v be_v in_o inward_a thing_n his_o be_v crucify_v with_o christ_n be_v like_o christ_n etc._n etc._n yea_o such_o glory_v in_o outward_a thing_n he_o call_v a_o glory_v after_o the_o flesh_n 2_o cor._n 11.18_o see_v that_o many_o glory_n after_o the_o flesh_n i_o will_v glory_v also_o the_o best_a of_o outward_a thing_n when_o we_o come_v to_o glory_v in_o these_o and_o make_v our_o boast_n of_o these_o our_o glory_v and_o boast_v will_v be_v find_v but_o a_o carnal_a fleshly_a boast_n 5_o when_o a_o man_n like_v that_o truth_n which_o otherwise_o he_o love_v the_o worse_a because_o it_o come_v not_o to_o he_o full_o in_o his_o own_o way_n it_o argue_v he_o put_v too_o much_o in_o that_o outward_a way_n as_o suppose_v two_o godly_a man_n deliver_v the_o same_o truth_n one_o in_o a_o independent_a as_o they_o say_v the_o other_o a_o presbyter_n and_o put_v the_o case_n i_o be_v a_o presbyter_n i_o dislike_v the_o truth_n because_o it_o be_v a_o independent_a one_o of_o another_o way_n speak_v it_o another_o be_v a_o independent_a he_o dislike_v because_o a_o presbyter_n speak_v it_o both_o these_o show_n that_o they_o put_v too_o much_o in_o their_o own_o way_n because_o they_o love_v the_o truth_n which_o only_o be_v to_o be_v love_v and_o embrace_v for_o itself_o the_o better_a or_o the_o worse_a because_o it_o come_v in_o or_o out_o of_o their_o way_n truth_n be_v truth_n in_o apollo_n his_o mouth_n and_o aquila_n and_o priscilla_n hear_v he_o when_o he_o preach_v in_o the_o

a_o man_n may_v and_o it_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o primitive_a saint_n to_o hear_v those_o who_o be_v not_o member_n of_o visible_a church_n but_o stranger_n to_o they_o if_o so_o be_v the_o

be_v not_o clear_a as_o yet_o in_o his_o principle_n for_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o yet_o they_o hear_v he_o use_v 5._o then_o you_o which_o be_v gospel_n saint_n follow_v the_o spirit_n the_o mistake_v of_o the_o saint_n do_v not_o arise_v from_o the_o want_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o teach_v they_o and_o guide_v they_o so_o much_o as_o from_o their_o not_o observe_v the_o way_n of_o

shall_v find_v if_o he_o do_v but_o look_v back_o where_o his_o mistake_n begin_v that_o there_o he_o do_v cease_v to_o follow_v his_o leader_n either_o he_o do_v turn_v aside_o to_o pride_n
