that_o work_n with_o all_o our_o might_n which_o be_v our_o only_a work_n and_o the_o work_n which_o we_o come_v into_o the_o world_n for_o now_o we_o do_v not_o come_v in●o_o the_o world_n to_o get_v

so_o his_o child_n shall_v be_v without_o parent_n thus_o they_o express_v the_o punishment_n of_o do_v god_n work_v negligent_o but_o you_o know_v what_o the_o prophet_n malachy_n say_v curse_v be_v every_o one_o that_o have_v in_o his_o flock_n a_o male_a and_o offer_v a_o corrupt_a thing_n to_o god_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v curse_v be_v that_o man_n or_o woman_n who_o have_v masculine_a

all_o our_o might_n &_o a_o rational_a thing_n to_o do_v so_o and_o a_o dangerous_a thing_n not_o to_o do_v it_o then_o sure_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o matter_n of_o great_a concernment_n to_o do_v the_o work_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o to_o do_v with_o all_o our_o might_n why_o but_o will_v some_o say_v this_o seem_v contrary_a to_o scripture_n reason_n and_o our_o own_o judgement_n to_o scripture_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v use_v the_o world_n as_o if_o you_o use_v it_o not_o to_o reason_n for_o the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o do_v justice_n and_o if_o he_o do_v it_o with_o

we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v nothing_o but_o according_a to_o this_o text_n and_o doctrine_n there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o power_n of_o our_o hand_n to_o do_v how_o can_v this_o therefore_o agree_v either_o with_o scripture_n reason_n or_o our_o own_o judgement_n and_o principle_n yes_o very_o well_o for_o do_v the_o scripture_n say_v that_o we_o be_v to_o use_v the_o world_n as_o if_o we_o use_v it_o not_o and_o do_v it_o say_v here_o whatever_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o thy_o hand_n to_o do_v do_v it_o withal_o thy_o might_n then_o put_v these_o together_o and_o what_o be_v the_o result_n but_o this_o that_o we_o shall_v use_v all_o our_o skill_n and_o might_n to_o use_v the_o world_n as_o if_o we_o use_v it_o not_o and_o as_o for_o the_o re●son_n about_o the_o magistrate_n though_o the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o do_v justice_n yet_o he_o be_v to_o show_v mercy_n also_o if_o he_o have_v righteousness_n in_o the_o one_o hand_n he_o be_v to_o have_v mercy_n in_o the_o other_o i_o will_v sing_v of_o mercy_n and_o judgement_n say_v david_n seneca_n tell_v we_o that_o many_o punishment_n be_v as_o much_o disparagement_n to_o the_o magistrate_n as_o many_o funeral_n be_v to_o the_o physician_n you_o know_v that_o moses_n be_v the_o first_o magistrate_n that_o israel_n have_v and_o do_v not_o he_o do_v justice_n yes_o yet_o he_o be_v the_o meek_a man_n upon_o earth_n why_o so_o but_o to_o show_v that_o the_o dispensation_n of_o justice_n will_v grow_v very_o well_o upon_o the_o disposition_n of_o meekness_n and_o as_o for_o our_o own_o principle_n and_o judgement_n who_o do_v not_o say_v and_o say_v true_a that_o every_o man_n have_v power_n to_o do_v more_o than_o he_o do_v and_o what_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v with_o some_o that_o god_n
