peace_n peace_n 12._o i_o have_v tell_v you_o what_o i_o mean_v not_o by_o malignant_a enmity_n to_o godliness_n i_o tell_v you_o now_o what_o i_o mean_v by_o it_o viz._n when_o the_o blindness_n and_o ungodliness_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n increase_v by_o practice_n into_o serpentine_a enmity_n and_o turn_v man_n heart_n by_o unbelief_n and_o disaffection_n from_o god_n and_o heaven_n do_v possess_v they_o with_o a_o deep_a dislike_n of_o a_o holy_a heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a life_n first_o as_o to_o their_o own_o practice_n and_o then_o as_o it_o be_v in_o other_o and_o because_o it_o be_v against_o their_o worldly_a hope_n and_o fleshly_a lust_n they_o hate_v it_o and_o reject_v it_o themselves_o and_o then_o hate_v and_o malicious_o oppose_v it_o in_o other_o yea_o though_o law_n custom_n and_o worldly_a interest_n draw_v they_o formal_o to_o profess_v christianity_n and_o obedience_n to_o god_n law_n and_o to_o vow_v that_o in_o baptism_n they_o hate_v the_o serious_a performance_n of_o their_o own_o profession_n and_o vow_n and_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o drive_v it_o out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o set_v up_o hypocrisy_n and_o ceremony_n or_o a_o stage_n religion_n and_o mummery_n or_o the_o toothless_a mass_n and_o formality_n in_o its_o stead_n and_o if_o custom_n or_o shame_n hinder_v they_o from_o persecute_v or_o scorn_v truth_n and_o godliness_n in_o its_o proper_a name_n they_o will_v show_v their_o mind_n by_o these_o thing_n follow_v 1._o they_o will_v set_v up_o some_o worldly_a fleshly_a interest_n like_o the_o papal_a kingdom_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o christian_a and_o holy_a interest_n and_o then_o they_o will_v persecute_v christian_n not_o as_o christian_n nor_o as_o godly_a in_o name_n but_o as_o such_o indeed_o by_o plead_v conscience_n and_o obedience_n to_o god_n against_o their_o inconsistent_a interest_n and_o way_n 2._o among_o all_o that_o be_v against_o their_o carnal_a false_a interest_n they_o will_v cull_v out_o the_o more_o serious_a godly_a person_n to_o afflict_v 3._o among_o all_o the_o faithful_a they_o will_v cull_v out_o those_o who_o do_v christ_n most_v service_n in_o the_o world_n because_o christ_n service_n be_v it_o that_o be_v their_o disservice_n and_o opposite_a to_o their_o sin_n 4._o they_o will_v make_v a_o scorn_n of_o their_o very_a religious_a duty_n and_o take_v up_o mimical_a derision_n to_o make_v they_o seem_v ridiculous_a or_o contemptible_a 5._o when_o they_o can_v charge_v they_o with_o no_o crime_n they_o will_v purposely_o make_v net_n to_o catch_v they_o as_o the_o enemy_n of_o daniel_n do_v by_o he_o dan._n 6._o and_o as_o the_o spider_n make_v her_o curious_a web_n to_o catch_v and_o kill_v the_o fly_n 6._o yea_o they_o will_v make_v fault_n by_o slander_n and_o lie_v if_o not_o by_o perjury_n if_o they_o can_v find_v none_o 7._o yea_o their_o virtue_n piety_n and_o innocency_n shall_v be_v all_o call_v hypocrisy_n and_o when_o they_o can_v accuse_v their_o action_n they_o will_v accuse_v their_o heart_n and_o secret_a thought_n and_o judge_v they_o as_o if_o they_o have_v a_o casement_n into_o their_o breast_n 8._o yea_o if_o their_o innocency_n can_v be_v so_o stain_v they_o will_v hate_v they_o so_o much_o the_o more_o because_o they_o can_v tread_v down_o their_o reputation_n 9_o they_o will_v search_v after_o and_o aggravate_v all_o the_o fail_n of_o religious_a people_n and_o turn_v they_o into_o crime_n 10._o if_o any_o one_o of_o they_o or_o a_o hypocrite_n that_o be_v like_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o any_o notable_a fall_n they_o will_v persuade_v man_n that_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o life_n be_v like_o that_o crime_n yea_o and_o that_o all_o that_o profess_v much_o seriousness_n in_o godliness_n be_v as_o bad_a as_o they_o that_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o life_n of_o noah_n lot_n david_n solomon_n etc._n etc._n be_v as_o bad_a as_o the_o criminal_a part_n and_o that_o all_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n be_v peter_n or_o iudas_n 11._o that_o it_o be_v not_o their_o sin_n but_o their_o piety_n which_o they_o hate_v you_o will_v see_v in_o that_o they_o live_v in_o far_o great_a sin_n themselves_o and_o take_v it_o to_o be_v no_o great_a harm_n but_o hate_v those_o that_o reprove_v they_o 12._o and_o they_o make_v light_n of_o the_o common_a crime_n of_o other_o they_o can_v bear_v with_o a_o atheist_n a_o infidel_n a_o drunkard_n a_o profane_a swearer_n a_o derider_n of_o godliness_n yea_o a_o persecutor_n a_o fornicator_n a_o man_n of_o no_o religion_n if_o he_o will_v but_o be_v for_o they_o and_o serve_v their_o interest_n and_o will_v not_o scruple_n communion_n with_o such_o but_o man_n never_o so_o sober_a just_a and_o godly_a that_o across_o their_o will_n and_o carnal_a way_n they_o can_v endure_v and_o if_o they_o be_v such_o clergyman_n as_o the_o world_n have_v too_o many_o such_o serious_a godly_a man_n for_o dislike_a their_o ungodliness_n be_v

or_o wills._n 13._o such_o usual_o in_o former_a age_n have_v be_v the_o chief_a instigator_n of_o prince_n and_o ruler_n to_o hate_v man_n of_o serious_a religion_n and_o to_o stir_v up_o persecution_n against_o they_o and_o to_o render_v such_o odious_a to_o the_o world_n as_o heretic_n or_o intolerable_a villain_n o_o what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o the_o true_a

slander_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n they_o will_v soon_o believe_v one_o or_o two_o ignorant_a malicious_a drunkard_n against_o they_o that_o never_o know_v they_o than_o the_o testimony_n of_o hundred_o of_o most_o faithful_a person_n who_o praise_n and_o vindicate_v they_o though_o they_o better_o know_v they_o 15._o they_o seldom_o give_v the_o accuse_a leave_n to_o speak_v for_o themselves_o before_o they_o believe_v accusation_n against_o they_o but_o conclude_v that_o they_o be_v as_o bad_a as_o backbiting_a malice_n report_v they_o behind_o their_o back_n 16._o they_o be_v glad_a to_o

17._o if_o there_o be_v any_o public_a difference_n in_o a_o church_n city_n or_o land_n they_o be_v usual_o against_o that_o side_n which_o most_o favour_v serious_a godliness_n be_v they_o who_o
