christian_n unto_o they_o ought_v in_o affection_n of_o mind_n to_o embrace_v they_o in_o their_o full_a latitude_n by_o withdraw_v their_o heart_n from_o those_o thing_n which_o their_o state_n of_o life_n do_v oblige_v they_o to_o possess_v and_o make_v use_n of_o and_o by_o do_v this_o although_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o vocation_n they_o be_v hinder_v and_o disenable_v from_o the_o actual_a execution_n of_o the_o say_a counsel_n and_o consequent_o be_v not_o in_o so_o perfect_a a_o state_n of_o life_n yet_o they_o may_v attain_v to_o as_o great_a perfection_n of_o sanctity_n as_o the_o most_o holy_a religious_a man_n who_o do_v actual_o forsake_v all_o and_o possess_v nothing_o i_o say_v not_o this_o as_o if_o the_o state_n of_o religion_n be_v not_o to_o be_v honour_v and_o esteem_v above_o the_o state_n of_o ordinary_a christian_n since_o that_o by_o observe_v strict_o the_o three_o evangelicall_a counsel_n whereunto_o religious_a man_n have_v tie_v themselves_o by_o vow_n the_o perfection_n of_o charity_n be_v not_o only_o more_o easy_o attain_v but_o also_o for_o the_o most_o part_n more_o perfect_o practise_v than_o it_o be_v by_o layman_n but_o what_o i_o say_v be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o those_o who_o live_v in_o the_o world_n may_v know_v the_o dignity_n of_o that_o state_n whereunto_o they_o be_v call_v when_o they_o be_v baptize_v and_o consequent_o that_o they_o do_v not_o neglect_v to_o aspire_v to_o that_o height_n of_o perfection_n whereof_o all_o christian_n be_v capable_a notwithstanding_o their_o secular_a vocation_n and_o condition_n wherein_o they_o live_v and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o even_o lay-man_n themselves_o may_v sometime_o be_v oblige_v to_o practice_v actual_o these_o evangelicall_a counsel_n no_o less_o then_o if_o they_o be_v precept_n for_o as_o we_o be_v bind_v under_o pain_n of_o mortal_a sin_n to_o undergo_v austere_a mortification_n when_o we_o find_v they_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o withdraw_v we_o from_o mortal_a sin_n so_o if_o a_o man_n find_v that_o the_o possess_n of_o riches_n honour_n pleasure_n and_o other_o worldly_a thing_n do_v absolute_o hinder_v his_o salvation_n he_o be_v bind_v by_o his_o solemn_a promise_n make_v to_o god_n in_o baptism_n to_o forsake_v and_o renounce_v they_o all_o lesson_n xx._n of_o the_o four_o moral_a or_o cardinal_n virtue_n 1._o what_o be_v leave_v in_o man_n nature_n after_o his_o fall_n whereby_o to_o concur_v with_o god_n his_o grace_n and_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o it_o to_o observe_v the_o commandment_n and_o to_o practice_v charity_n with_o perfection_n they_o be_v principal_o two_o thing_n free_a will_n and_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n or_o first_o principle_n of_o the_o four_o moral_a virtue_n common_o call_v cardinal_n 2._o what_o be_v virtue_n it_o be_v a_o quality_n in_o the_o soul_n which_o make_v a_o man_n good_a for_o as_o science_n make_v a_o good_a scholar_n and_o be_v a_o good_a artificer_n so_o virtue_n make_v a_o good_a man_n and_o cause_v he_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a with_o readiness_n and_o facility_n 3._o how_o many_o virtue_n be_v there_o they_o be_v all_o reduce_v to_o seven_o to_o wit_n the_o three_o theological_a virtue_n faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n of_o which_o we_o have_v speak_v already_o and_o the_o four_o moral_a virtue_n of_o which_o we_o be_v now_o to_o treat_v to_o wit_n prudence_n justice_n fortitude_n and_o temperance_n so_o that_o he_o who_o have_v these_o seven_o quality_n be_v a_o perfect_a good_a man_n 4._o why_o be_v the_o three_o first_o call_v theologicall_n because_o their_o principal_a object_n be_v only_a god_n himself_o for_o the_o object_n of_o faith_n be_v god_n veracity_n or_o infallibility_n in_o speak_v truth_n the_o object_n of_o hope_n be_v god_n infinite_a inclination_n to_o do_v good_a to_o all_o the_o object_n of_o charity_n be_v god_n infinite_a perfection_n whereby_o he_o be_v worthy_a of_o all_o love_n 5._o wherefore_o be_v the_o other_o virtue_n call_v moral_a because_o they_o concern_v the_o manner_n or_o behaviour_n belong_v proper_o to_o the_o action_n of_o man_n only_o as_o he_o be_v man_n from_o the_o latin_a word_n moor_n which_o signifi_v manner_n 6._o why_o be_v they_o call_v cardinal_n because_o they_o be_v the_o hinge_n on_o which_o all_o other_o moral_a virtue_n depend_v 7._o how_o do_v these_o four_o virtue_n help_v we_o to_o practice_v charity_n by_o incline_v we_o to_o give_v to_o god_n to_o our_o neighbour_n and_o ourselves_o that_o which_o be_v each_o one_o due_a for_o all_o virtue_n be_v reduce_v to_o these_o three_o head_n and_o to_o begin_v with_o ourselves_o since_o that_o we_o be_v create_v to_o a_o determinate_a end_n and_o so_o direct_v to_o some_o determinate_a action_n these_o action_n depend_v of_o two_o principle_n the_o first_o not_o to_o prefer_v a_o lesser_a good_a before_o a_o great_a the_o second_o not_o to_o choose_v a_o great_a harm_n before_o a_o lesser_a now_o the_o first_o be_v do_v by_o temperance_n by_o which_o we_o abstain_v from_o a_o lesser_a good_a to_o get_v a_o great_a 8._o what_o then_o be_v temperance_n temperance_n be_v a_o virtue_n which_o rule_v the_o appetite_n and_o bridle_v our_o sensual_a delight_n and_o make_v a_o man_n content_a to_o moderate_v himself_o in_o they_o in_o that_o manner_n as_o reason_n require_v that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o former_a principle_n and_o it_o be_v divide_v into_o diverse_a sort_n and_o kind_n according_a to_o several_a matter_n in_o which_o it_o be_v employ_v for_o temperance_n towards_o woman_n be_v call_v chastity_n in_o drink_n and_o meat_n sobriety_n in_o action_n modesty_n etc._n etc._n 9_o by_o what_o virtue_n do_v we_o abstain_v from_o choose_v a_o great_a harm_n before_o a_o lesser_a by_o fortitude_n for_o we_o can_v abstain_v to_o choose_v a_o great_a harm_n before_o a_o lesser_a when_o one_o be_v necessary_a but_o by_o undergo_n the_o less_a harm_n that_o we_o may_v avoid_v the_o great_a 10._o what_o then_o be_v fortitude_n fortitude_n be_v a_o virtue_n that_o moderate_v the_o irascible_a power_n according_a to_o reason_n and_o so_o it_o help_v we_o to_o overcome_v those_o difficulty_n which_o require_v courage_n in_o choose_v one_o harm_n to_o avoid_v another_o according_a to_o the_o former_a principle_n and_o it_o have_v diverse_a kind_n for_o fortitude_n in_o a_o action_n full_a of_o difficulty_n be_v call_v courage_n in_o suffer_v patience_n in_o length_n perseverance_n in_o war_n valour_n etc._n etc._n 11._o what_o be_v the_o virtue_n by_o which_o we_o give_v to_o our_o neighbour_n that_o which_o be_v their_o due_n it_o be_v justice_n for_o whereas_o our_o neighbour_n be_v either_o our_o equal_n our_o better_n or_o our_o inferior_n to_o our_o inferior_n we_o owe_v love_n and_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v they_o any_o good_a we_o can_v as_o other_o our_o better_n have_v do_v and_o daily_o do_v for_o we_o to_o our_o equal_n the_o same_o in_o substance_n although_o in_o another_o degree_n and_o to_o our_o superior_n and_o better_n duty_n and_o obedience_n all_o which_o be_v do_v by_o justice_n 12._o what_o then_o be_v justice_n justice_n be_v a_o virtue_n whereby_o the_o will_n of_o man_n be_v so_o order_v as_o to_o give_v to_o every_o one_o his_o due_a and_o so_o it_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o peace_n and_o quietness_n among_o man_n and_o the_o several_a kind_n of_o it_o be_v these_o justice_n towards_o our_o country_n and_o parent_n be_v call_v piety_n towards_o law_n and_o superior_n obedience_n towards_o our_o equal_n and_o inferior_n in_o honour_n courtesy_n in_o word_n affability_n etc._n etc._n 13._o what_o be_v the_o virtue_n by_o which_o we_o give_v to_o god_n what_o be_v due_a it_o be_v also_o justice_n and_o because_o god_n be_v essential_o our_o superior_a we_o have_v a_o essential_a tie_n to_o he_o and_o a_o great_a obligation_n to_o obey_v he_o than_o any_o other_o and_o so_o it_o be_v call_v religion_n or_o devotion_n from_o the_o latin_a word_n religare_fw-la which_o signify_v to_o tie_v and_o bind_v fast_o and_o devouere_v which_o signify_v a_o solemn_a bequeath_v of_o oneself_n to_o a_o other_o and_o so_o we_o see_v how_o these_o three_o virtue_n make_v a_o man_n affection_n right_a in_o order_n to_o perform_v humane_a action_n 14._o what_o then_o be_v prudence_n necessary_a for_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o all_o the_o three_o former_a virtue_n for_o although_o a_o man_n have_v his_o affection_n right_a yet_o if_o he_o have_v not_o skill_n to_o carry_v thing_n well_o his_o action_n will_v oftentimes_o not_o correspond_v to_o his_o affection_n and_o so_o in_o the_o whole_a be_v naught_o now_o this_o skill_n in_o humane_a action_n be_v have_v by_o prudence_n 15._o what_o be_v prudence_n it_o be_v a_o virtue_n apt_a to_o direct_v man_n understanding_n in_o show_v the_o due_a of_o every_o
our_o bread_n because_o this_o spiritual_a nourriture_n do_v appertain_v to_o those_o only_a who_o be_v child_n of_o the_o church_n and_o not_o to_o those_o who_o be_v out_o of_o it_o second_o because_o christian_n have_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o right_a to_o it_o through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n jesus_n if_o they_o ask_v it_o due_o and_o last_o because_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o we_o for_o our_o spiritual_a or_o temporal_a nourrishment_n 17._o why_o do_v we_o call_v it_o our_o daily_a bread_n first_o we_o call_v it_o so_o because_o we_o stand_v daily_o in_o need_n of_o it_o second_o we_o call_v it_o so_o to_o note_v thereby_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o nourriture_n which_o god_n give_v to_o his_o militant_a church_n and_o that_o which_o he_o give_v to_o his_o triumphant_a church_n for_o this_o be_v eternal_a and_o consequent_o can_v be_v lose_v when_o once_o it_o be_v give_v the_o other_o be_v subject_a to_o be_v lose_v every_o moment_n and_o therefore_o be_v design_v by_o the_o short_a course_n of_o one_o day_n 18._o why_o do_v we_o adjoine_v that_o other_o word_n this_o day_n by_o join_v this_o word_n our_o saviour_n do_v give_v we_o two_o document_n the_o first_o that_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o we_o shall_v say_v this_o prayer_n every_o day_n see_v we_o pray_v but_o for_o one_o day_n that_o so_o we_o may_v depend_v continual_o on_o he_o the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v solicitous_a or_o trouble_v with_o anxiety_n for_o future_a thing_n especial_o as_o far_o as_o they_o belong_v to_o god_n almighty_a but_o enjoy_v the_o present_a with_o thanksgiving_n and_o repose_v a_o confidence_n in_o his_o goodness_n for_o the_o future_a 19_o declare_v the_o five_o and_o forgive_v we_o our_o debt_n as_o we_o also_o forgive_v our_o debtor_n we_o demand_v in_o the_o five_o that_o god_n deliver_v we_o from_o evil_a past_a that_o be_v from_o sin_n already_o commit_v and_o which_o we_o do_v daily_o commit_v by_o remit_v the_o debt_n of_o the_o fault_n and_o the_o pain_n which_o for_o it_o we_o have_v incur_v and_o we_o add_v as_o we_o forgive_v our_o debtor_n that_o be_v as_o we_o pardon_v the_o offence_n of_o our_o enemy_n for_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o reasonable_a thing_n that_o god_n forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n if_o we_o will_v not_o pardon_v the_o injury_n do_v unto_o we_o which_o be_v offence_n of_o so_o small_a importance_n 20._o why_o do_v we_o call_v our_o sin_n against_o god_n our_o debt_n because_o whosoever_o offend_v god_n do_v owe_v to_o he_o a_o reparation_n of_o his_o offence_n where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o we_o owe_v diverse_a thing_n to_o god_n some_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o perfection_n and_o goodness_n as_o love_v service_n and_o the_o like_a other_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o imperfection_n and_o malice_n to_o wit_n reparation_n for_o our_o sin_n now_o we_o do_v not_o ask_v of_o god_n that_o he_o remit_v we_o the_o first_o kind_n of_o debt_n because_o they_o be_v of_o their_o own_o nature_n irremissable_a for_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v a_o creature_n and_o not_o to_o owe_v love_n and_o service_n to_o his_o creator_n beside_o those_o debt_n be_v advantageous_a for_o us._n but_o we_o demand_v to_o be_v discharge_v of_o those_o debt_n which_o our_o own_o malice_n have_v cause_v 21._o why_o do_v we_o call_v they_o our_o debt_n we_o call_v they_o so_o in_o a_o quite_o contrary_a sense_n to_o the_o former_a petition_n where_o we_o ask_v our_o daily_a bread_n for_o we_o call_v that_o bread_n we_o because_o god_n do_v give_v it_o we_o and_o nothing_o be_v a_o man_n own_o more_o true_o then_o that_o which_o be_v give_v he_o but_o sin_n be_v call_v we_o not_o that_o it_o be_v give_v by_o god_n at_o all_o but_o because_o we_o commit_v it_o through_o our_o own_o proper_a will_n and_o malice_n contrary_a to_o god_n inspiration_n 22._o must_v we_o pardon_v our_o enemy_n to_o be_v able_a to_o say_v this_o prayer_n yes_o and_o not_o only_o this_o prayer_n but_o any_o other_o in_o so_o much_o that_o whosoever_o hate_v his_o neighbour_n and_o do_v perceive_v it_o can_v pray_v to_o god_n at_o all_o without_o great_a presumption_n unless_o he_o do_v first_o lay_v aside_o all_o hatred_n by_o pardon_v his_o enemy_n in_o his_o hart_n or_o at_o least_o demand_n of_o god_n his_o grace_n to_o do_v it_o since_o that_o our_o saviour_n himself_o do_v tell_v we_o that_o that_o sacrifice_n be_v fruitless_a which_o be_v offer_v up_o by_o he_o who_o be_v in_o enmity_n with_o his_o neighbour_n 23._o why_o will_v not_o god_n forgive_v he_o who_o wish_v harm_n to_o those_o by_o who_o he_o have_v be_v offend_v because_o it_o be_v against_o reason_n that_o god_n shall_v forgive_v he_o who_o be_v not_o in_o love_n and_o charity_n and_o whosoever_o wish_v harm_n to_o his_o neighbour_n love_v he_o not_o and_o so_o he_o be_v void_a of_o charity_n 24._o must_v we_o then_o forgive_v our_o enemy_n although_o they_o do_v not_o repent_v that_o they_o have_v offend_v we_o yes_o although_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o not_o repent_v but_o continue_v to_o offend_v we_o for_o it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o man_n then_o with_o god_n for_o revenge_n belong_v to_o god_n because_o his_o justice_n do_v oblige_v he_o to_o punish_v where_o the_o offender_n repent_v not_o and_o so_o god_n do_v never_o forgive_v unless_o man_n repent_v but_o as_o for_o man_n god_n command_v he_o to_o leave_v revenge_n to_o himself_o alone_o and_o therefore_o man_n be_v oblige_v to_o pardon_n whether_o his_o enemy_n repent_v or_o no._n 25._o what_o be_v it_o to_o pardon_v to_o pardon_v be_v to_o depose_v all_o manner_n of_o rancour_n against_o one_o and_o not_o to_o wish_v he_o any_o harm_n mere_o because_o it_o be_v a_o harm_n wherefore_o he_o be_v not_o exclude_v from_o this_o prayer_n who_o wish_v due_a punishment_n to_o a_o offender_n as_o long_o as_o he_o wish_v it_o either_o for_o the_o offender_n his_o own_o amendment_n or_o for_o the_o example_n of_o other_o and_o good_a of_o the_o common_a wealth_n neither_o be_v he_o exclude_v from_o this_o prayer_n who_o wish_v by_o a_o legal_a way_n a_o reasonable_a satisfaction_n from_o the_o

the_o seven_o that_o god_n will_v deliver_v we_o from_o all_o evil_a to_o come_v both_o spiritual_a and_o corporal_a as_o far_o as_o it_o may_v be_v prejudicial_a to_o our_o eternal_a happiness_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o our_o deliverance_n from_o all_o evil_a in_o general_a without_o specify_v in_o particular_a the_o evil_n either_o of_o

it_o follow_v that_o god_n do_v give_v power_n to_o do_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v or_o can_v be_v do_v and_o consequent_o that_o he_o himself_o can_v do_v whatsoever_o can_v be_v do_v for_o

so_o you_o see_v that_o god_n be_v almighty_a for_o that_o thing_n be_v almighty_a which_o can_v make_v all_o thing_n and_o do_v all_o thing_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n also_o we_o must_v grant_v
