for_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n now_o follow_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o commandment_n draw_v partly_o from_o god_n judgement_n against_o all_o false_a worshipper_n &_o from_o his_o mercy_n

they_o serve_v god_n after_o another_o manner_n than_o he_o have_v warrant_v &_o command_v the_o reason_n take_v from_o his_o kindness_n to_o those_o that_o be_v obedient_a because_o we_o be_v very_o slow_a and_o slack_a to_o the_o right_a service_n of_o god_n be_v to_o allure_v &_o provoke_v we_o because_o that_o god_n will_v not_o only_o bless_v such_o a_o one_o in_o his_o own_o soul_n &_o

our_o god_n he_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v a_o everlasting_a marriage_n betwixt_o god_n &_o we_o &_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v a_o foul_a fact_n for_o a_o woman_n after_o her_o marriage_n &_o the_o

his_o covenant_n with_o god_n to_o follow_v idol_n and_o image_n not_o content_v himself_o with_o the_o perfect_a beauty_n of_o christ_n then_o where_o he_o say_v a_o jealous_a god_n he_o compare_v

in_o that_o he_o call_v himself_o jealous_a it_o declare_v that_o he_o want_v not_o will_n and_o cause_n to_o pour_v vengeance_n on_o they_o and_o in_o that_o he_o be_v a_o strong_a god_n he_o be_v of_o might_n sufficient_a to_o plague_n and_o confound_v those_o that_o wicked_o break_v his_o covenant_n from_o all_o this_o description_n whereby_o god_n have_v set_v out_o himself_o unto_o we_o

that_o be_v faithful_a as_o well_o as_o a_o exceed_a detestation_n of_o the_o unfaithful_a and_o then_o he_o be_v a_o strong_a god_n not_o strong_a with_o a_o idle_a kind_n of_o strength_n that_o

for_o the_o name_n by_o which_o god_n set_v out_o himself_o in_o this_o reason_n visit_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o father_n on_o the_o child_n first_o it_o may_v be_v object_v how_o god_n can_v in_o

the_o doctrine_n that_o we_o may_v gather_v hence_o be_v that_o ungodly_a parent_n be_v the_o most_o deadly_a enemy_n unto_o their_o child_n as_o in_o exo._n 34._o where_o god_n set_v down_o his_o

straight_o to_o rate_v and_o revile_v they_o no_o he_o be_v not_o of_o that_o mind_n he_o love_v his_o neighbour_n name_n better_o than_o so_o and_o therefore_o he_o pity_v they_o and_o be_v careful_a to_o heal_v their_o fault_n as_o he_o will_v have_v be_v deal_v with_o all_o in_o the_o like_a case_n so_o that_o if_o one_o have_v pity_n and_o compassion_n of_o his_o neighbour_n fault_n and_o pray_v for_o he_o and_o admonish_v he_o and_o use_v all_o mean_n to_o bring_v he_o to_o repentance_n he_o love_v his_o neighbour_n credit_n and_o he_o that_o can_v thus_o convert_v his_o brother_n

and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o inward_a duty_n and_o the_o three_o note_n and_o trial_n of_o it_o now_o follow_v the_o outward_a duty_n which_o be_v either_o general_a or_o special_a and_o first_o for_o the_o general_a that_o be_v to_o speak_v the_o truth_n from_o one_o heart_n as_o david_n in_o the_o 15._o psalm_n not_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n alone_o but_o from_o our_o heart_n neither_o after_o a_o flatter_a &_o dissemble_a manner_n nor_o after_o a_o rail_n and_o reproachful_a manner_n not_o for_o hope_n or_o fear_n or_o that_o so_o it_o be_v wrest_v from_o one_o by_o any_o sinister_a affection_n but_o hearty_o to_o speak_v just_a as_o the_o cause_n be_v without_o serve_v one_o self_n this_o be_v one_o commendation_n of_o christ_n and_o a_o chief_a commendation_n that_o no_o guile_n be_v find_v in_o his_o mouth_n but_o yet_o these_o two_o rule_n must_v be_v keep_v in_o speak_v the_o truth_n first_o that_o one_o speak_v with_o a_o good_a affection_n for_o if_o one_o speak_v the_o truth_n in_o wrath_n and_o passion_n in_o a_o distemper_a mind_n the_o word_n indeed_o be_v not_o sinful_a but_o the_o manner_n be_v wicked_a and_o break_v the_o commandment_n many_o will_v have_v a_o care_n to_o speak_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o they_o can_v justify_v &_o prove_v to_o be_v true_a but_o for_o their_o affection_n it_o be_v altogether_o disorder_a for_o in_o a_o revengeful_a mind_n to_o ease_v themselves_o what_o ever_o evil_o they_o know_v by_o a_o man_n out_o it_o shall_v go_v without_o any_o regard_n of_o edify_v other_o or_o convert_n the_o person_n only_o in_o a_o rage_n they_o care_v not_o how_o they_o discredit_v their_o neighbour_n now_o this_o rude_a and_o ungodly_a speak_v of_o the_o truth_n be_v sin_n against_o our_o neighbour_n name_n as_o well_o as_o to_o lie_v and_o backebite_n so_o that_o always_o truth_n must_v be_v bound_v with_o a_o love_a heart_n with_o a_o quiet_a and_o well_o temper_a mind_n if_o one_o speak_v unreasonable_o to_o hurt_v his_o neighbour_n he_o offend_v in_o speak_v the_o truth_n so_o for_o the_o end_n that_o be_v the_o second_o rule_n that_o one_o must_v look_v his_o end_n be_v good_a that_o one_o do_v aim_n at_o god_n glory_n and_o the_o edification_n of_o man_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v colloss_n 4._o what_o ever_o you_o do_v let_v all_o be_v do_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n if_o one_o be_v about_o to_o speak_v any_o thing_n let_v he_o first_o look_v what_o glory_n he_o may_v bring_v to_o god_n by_o speak_v it_o second_o see_v what_o profit_n may_v redound_v either_o to_o those_o to_o who_o we_o speak_v or_o to_o the_o party_n of_o who_o else_o never_o speak_v of_o other_o man_n fault_n or_o of_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o when_o we_o can_v say_v this_o profit_n will_v come_v either_o to_o give_v warning_n to_o other_o that_o they_o may_v take_v heed_n or_o that_o out_o self_n may_v learn_v more_o to_o hate_v the_o sin_n or_o that_o the_o party_n of_o who_o the_o speech_n be_v may_v be_v bring_v to_o a_o sight_n of_o his_o fault_n and_o to_o amendment_n if_o one_o can_v see_v some_o good_a or_o other_o that_o will_v arise_v by_o his_o speech_n it_o be_v sure_a it_o be_v sin_n and_o at_o the_o least_o a_o idle_a word_n so_o that_o one_o must_v speak_v the_o truth_n from_o his_o heart_n with_o a_o good_a affection_n and_o in_o good_a discretion_n so_o that_o god_n may_v have_v his_o due_a praise_n and_o man_n his_o due_a edification_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o general_a duty_n now_o the_o special_a concern_v either_o other_o or_o ourselves_o in_o speak_v of_o other_o these_o rule_n must_v be_v observe_v in_o praise_v to_o speak_v in_o one_o commendation_n rather_o in_o his_o absence_n because_o if_o one_o be_v commend_v before_o one_o face_n though_o his_o commendation_n be_v true_a yet_o it_o savour_v rather_o of_o flattery_n then_o like_v of_o the_o grace_n &_o beside_o through_o our_o infirmity_n it_o be_v not_o without_o danger_n of_o make_v one_o proud_a and_o conceit_a but_o in_o one_o absence_n speak_v the_o truth_n as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n child_n that_o so_o we_o may_v win_v more_o credit_n to_o their_o grace_n and_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o do_v more_o good_a with_o they_o and_o thus_o as_o time_n and_o place_n require_v it_o be_v duty_n to_o give_v due_a and_o true_a commendation_n to_o god_n servant_n but_o for_o reproof_n and_o speak_v of_o other_o man_n fault_n do_v that_o always_o before_o their_o face_n the_o time_n and_o season_n of_o commend_v be_v in_o absence_n but_o the_o time_n and_o season_n of_o reprehend_v be_v when_o either_o the_o party_n alone_o be_v present_a or_o he_o be_v one_o that_o be_v present_a or_o at_o least_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o he_o who_o it_o concern_v for_o so_o the_o holy_a ghost_n command_v hate_v not_o thy_o neighbour_n but_o tell_v he_o plain_o of_o his_o fault_n till_o it_o not_o a_o other_o be_v as_o plain_a and_o as_o round_o with_o he_o as_o one_o can_v so_o that_o it_o be_v in_o good_a term_n and_o that_o one_o know_v his_o better_n and_o superior_n this_o be_v contrary_a in_o many_o that_o never_o
