saint_n walk_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n phil._n 4.8_o where_o the_o apostle_n
you_o be_v go_v to_o the_o other_o and_o it_o may_v be_v your_o neighbour_n house_n be_v on_o fire_n or_o a_o poor_a man_n be_v in_o want_n you_o go_v and_o you_o can_v choose_v but_o then_o there_o be_v gall_n and_o guilt_n upon_o your_o soul_n because_o you_o have_v neglect_v prayer_n whereas_o god_n have_v not_o bind_v you_o to_o these_o thing_n but_o have_v leave_v you_o to_o do_v this_o or_o that_o according_a as_o it_o may_v be_v most_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n &_o the_o everlasting_a advantage_n of_o your_o own_o soul_n hence_o if_o you_o observe_v and_o look_v upon_o your_o own_o soul_n when_o you_o find_v yourselves_o in_o trouble_n you_o shall_v ordinary_o see_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n ask_v the_o question_n whence_o be_v this_o trouble_n why_o be_v your_o soul_n so_o sad_a you_o shall_v find_v six_o time_n for_o one_o that_o the_o trouble_n and_o guilt_n arise_v from_o these_o thing_n from_o make_v of_o law_n and_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v they_o whereas_o if_o we_o will_v make_v a_o absolute_a law_n of_o nothing_o but_o what_o god_n have_v make_v and_o do_v the_o rest_n in_o expediency_n we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o let_v go_v that_o and_o do_v this_o that_o be_v expedient_a we_o shall_v do_v abundance_n more_o good_a and_o with_o peace_n of_o conscience_n why_o christian_n full_a of_o question_n why_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o weak_a christian_n good_a people_n be_v so_o full_a of_o question_n and_o case_n and_o trouble_v themselves_o and_o minister_n endlesse_o why_o so_o because_o many_o professor_n walk_v only_o by_o rule_n by_o law_n this_o be_v their_o religion_n they_o will_v avoid_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a this_o be_v good_a but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o and_o seldom_o in_o my_o experience_n have_v i_o see_v a_o spiritual_a heart_n that_o be_v spiritual_a indeed_o much_o trouble_v with_o those_o case_n of_o conscience_n in_o outward_a thing_n carriage_n spiritual_a christian_n their_o carriage_n the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o a_o spiritual_a christian_a have_v two_o eye_n the_o other_o have_v but_o one_o that_o be_v when_o a_o spiritual_a christian_a fall_v on_o a_o action_n he_o ask_v first_o be_v it_o lawful_a or_o unlawful_a he_o easy_o resolve_v that_o but_o he_o go_v far_o be_v it_o convenient_a do_v it_o tend_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n will_v any_o be_v better_o for_o it_o will_v my_o own_o soul_n be_v the_o better_a be_v it_o decent_a and_o it_o be_v six_o to_o one_o but_o he_o find_v it_o expedient_a and_o he_o consider_v the_o lawfulness_n no_o far_o that_o be_v go_v and_o a_o inexpedient_a action_n to_o a_o spiritual_a man_n it_o be_v as_o abominable_a as_o a_o action_n altogether_o unlawful_a therefore_o we_o see_v paul_n how_o resolute_o he_o speak_v of_o eat_v of_o flesh_n the_o earth_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o fullness_n thereof_o and_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o what_o be_v before_o you_o yet_o he_o say_v if_o eat_v of_o flesh_n offend_v my_o brother_n mark_v his_o high_a language_n i_o will_v never_o eat_v flesh_n while_o the_o world_n stand_v rather_o than_o i_o will_v offend_v my_o brother_n that_o be_v i_o will_v soon_o answer_v the_o case_n of_o conscience_n i_o will_v not_o trouble_v minister_n or_o myself_o about_o that_o weak_a christian_n not_o mind_v this_o they_o ask_v only_o be_v it_o lawful_a be_v it_o lawful_a to_o wear_v long_a hair_n be_v it_o lawful_a to_o play_v at_o table_n etc._n etc._n they_o go_v no_o far_o and_o so_o there_o come_v guilt_n upon_o their_o soul_n i_o hear_v once_o i_o speak_v it_o not_o with_o prejudice_n of_o some_o godly_a woman_n that_o be_v godly_a person_n of_o baptism_n doubt_v of_o they_o make_v great_a doubt_n of_o their_o baptism_n and_o go_v by_o the_o rule_n that_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o make_v a_o curious_a piece_n in_o the_o new-testament_n and_o lay_v such_o stress_n upon_o every_o nick_n that_o all_o be_v overthrow_v if_o that_o be_v want_v they_o be_v baptize_v the_o first_o and_o the_o second_o and_o the_o three_o time_n and_o still_o they_o fear_v there_o be_v a_o fault_n that_o they_o can_v not_o sleep_v in_o their_o bed_n for_o horror_n of_o conscience_n lest_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o nick_n or_o flaw_n in_o the_o least_o in_o their_o baptism_n and_o so_o be_v still_o study_v a_o way_n to_o do_v it_o better_o so_o it_o will_v be_v in_o all_o case_n when_o man_n make_v law_n where_o god_n have_v not_o make_v they_o there_o will_v trouble_v and_o guilt_n follow_v in_o that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v they_o i_o speak_v it_o not_o to_o weaken_v or_o innervate_a any_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o absolute_a command_n but_o where_o god_n have_v leave_v a_o latitude_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v let_v we_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o and_o order_v all_o thing_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o edification_n of_o ourselves_o and_o other_o and_o that_o be_v another_o motive_n brief_o god_n mot._n 3._o he_o that_o eye_n not_o expediency_n can_v do_v much_o for_o god_n the_o three_o be_v this_o to_o persuade_v you_o to_o this_o for_o i_o fear_v many_o do_v not_o understand_v this_o and_o you_o be_v hardly_o bring_v to_o it_o because_o your_o heart_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o real_a principle_n of_o the_o gospel_n whereof_o this_o be_v one_o as_o it_o be_v the_o way_n to_o end_v controversy_n among_o the_o brethren_n and_o the_o way_n to_o keep_v peace_n within_o ourselves_o so_o three_o unless_o you_o will_v receive_v this_o truth_n and_o

and_o then_o when_o you_o have_v put_v stress_n on_o they_o and_o break_v they_o you_o conclude_v there_o be_v no_o church_n nor_o no_o believer_n such_o a_o soul_n will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o do_v much_o for_o god_n he_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o honour_n god_n much_o he_o may_v please_v himself_o as_o such_o do_v and_o think_v that_o he_o be_v grow_v in_o grace_n and_o have_v outstripped_n other_o and_o he_o may_v trouble_v the_o kingdom_n and_o rend_v the_o church_n and_o make_v debate_n among_o the_o saint_n but_o take_v this_o for_o certain_a he_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o honour_n god_n much_o he_o shall_v do_v little_a in_o his_o generation_n i_o mean_v that_o i_o may_v come_v to_o particular_n he_o will_v neither_o be_v able_a to_o do_v much_o in_o win_v of_o sinner_n nor_o in_o strengthen_v of_o weak_a saint_n for_o in_o those_o two_o way_n be_v the_o great_a opportunity_n we_o have_v of_o honour_v god_n if_o you_o love_v i_o feed_v my_o lamb_n say_v christ_n he_o can_v do_v it_o why_o so_o endless_a 1._o they_o present_a religion_n to_o other_o as_o endless_a first_o because_o such_o a_o man_n or_o such_o a_o people_n that_o be_v set_v in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o many_o be_v in_o these_o day_n and_o many_o godly_a people_n they_o present_a religion_n to_o other_o always_o as_o a_o endless_a thing_n as_o a_o thing_n that_o have_v no_o end_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o persuade_v weak_a christian_n to_o be_v religious_a they_o look_v upon_o their_o religion_n as_o a_o bottomless_a pit_n as_o solomon_n say_v the_o lip_n of_o a_o

in_o one_o religion_n and_o the_o last_o year_n in_o another_o and_o so_o they_o seek_v a_o knot_n in_o a_o bulrush_n they_o seek_v for_o curiosity_n where_o god_n have_v not_o lay_v it_o &_o therefore_o they_o be_v ever_o wander_v they_o persuade_v we_o to_o be_v of_o this_o church_n and_o of_o this_o religion_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v safe_a say_v carnal_a man_n how_o earnest_a be_v they_o to_o have_v we_o be_v with_o they_o and_o two_o month_n ago_o they_o be_v as_o earnest_a for_o another_o and_o it_o may_v be_v two_o month_n hence_o they_o will_v be_v for_o another_o and_o
