that_o be_v to_o be_v convince_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n man_n must_v be_v convince_v by_o god_n word_n our_o weapon_n say_v paul_n be_v not_o carnal_a but_o they_o be_v mighty_a through_o god_n to_o c●st_v down_o strong_a hold_n and_o sinful_a imagination_n paul_n do_v not_o use_v carnal_a weapon_n to_o bring_v down_o sinful_a imagination_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n he_o have_v use_v those_o weapon_n before_o he_o be_v bring_v home_o to_o god_n you_o know_v he_o go_v for_o power_n from_o the_o high_a priest_n to_o persecute_v all_o those_o that_o

give_v we_o weapon_n our_o weapon_n they_o ●re_n not_o carnal_a but_o spiritual_a and_o so_o they_o be_v mighty_a through_o god_n brethren_n i_o be_o persuade_v it_o glad_v the_o devil_n much_o when_o he_o see_v man_n so_o violent_a against_o error_n by_o draw_v the_o sword_n against_o they_o i_o say_v it_o glad_v the_o devil_n to_o see_v man_n seek_v this_o way_n to_o suppress_v they_o not_o that_o the_o devil_n hate_v error_n or_o that_o he_o love_v the_o truth_n for_o he_o hate_v the_o truth_n and_o love_v error_n but_o he_o know_v god_n will_v hardly_o bless_v that_o way_n of_o man_n when_o man_n shall_v neglect_v god_n institution_n and_o shall_v cleave_v to_o their_o own_o way_n and_o to_o their_o own_o invention_n god_n will_v hardly_o bless_v that_o way_n of_o man_n when_o his_o own_o way_n be_v neglect_v beside_o let_v man_n consider_v that_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o while_o man_n go_v about_o to_o suppress_v error_n they_o may_v suppress_v the_o truth_n for_o error_n unless_o you_o will_v say_v any_o man_n have_v a_o infallible_a spirit_n or_o that_o any_o company_n of_o man_n have_v a_o infallible_a spirit_n if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n then_o with_o what_o right_a can_v they_o force_v another_o judgement_n another_o conscience_n man_n may_v and_o do_v many_o time_n suppress_v truth_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o error_n we_o know_v in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n that_o truth_n be_v persecute_v that_o we_o now_o see_v to_o be_v truth_n out_o great_a truth_n our_o main_a truth_n of_o justification_n by_o the_o free_a

truth_n as_o error_n many_o thing_n have_v be_v persecute_v as_o error_n which_o now_o we_o see_v to_o be_v truth_n and_o why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v so_o now_o do_v all_o truth_n come_v into_o the_o

the_o truth_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o vain_a imagination_n and_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v but_o the_o more_o it_o be_v suppress_v the_o more_o it_o shall_v

what_o christ_n say_v to_o you_o fear_v not_o little_a flock_n you_o think_v you_o be_v but_o a_o small_a number_n there_o be_v but_o a_o few_o that_o profess_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o oh_o if_o persecution_n arise_v it_o will_v lessen_v the_o number_n i_o tell_v you_o fear_v not_o that_o persecution_n shall_v not_o lessen_v the_o number_n but_o ●_o shall_v increase_v the_o number_n though_o the_o man_n of_o th●_n world_n may_v strike_v at_o the_o tree_n and_o they_o may_v beat_v off_o many_o of_o the_o branch_n yet_o the_o lord_n jesus_n he_o will_v make_v use_n of_o every_o
