in_o deed_n that_o contentation_n of_o mind_n they_o shall_v have_v whensoever_o god_n call_v they_o to_o that_o necessity_n yea_o &_o when_o they_o be_v in_o their_o wealthy_a state_n that_o any_o

whatsoever_o be_v above_o that_o they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o see_v godly_a and_o honest_o bestow_v or_o else_o they_o grievous_o offend_v god_n and_o give_v evil_a example_n to_o other_o this_o rule_n as_o i_o have_v say_v pertain_v in_o like_a manner_n to_o all_o christian_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v no_o more_o follow_v upon_o this_o that_o the_o land_n &_o live_n of_o minister_n must_v be_v take_v from_o they_o because_o it_o bring_v superfluity_n unto_o they_o and_o more_o than_o the_o necessity_n of_o nature_n require_v than_o you_o can_v conclude_v the_o same_o against_o all_o other_o christian_n that_o have_v more_o ample_a land_n and_o live_n then_o will_v suffice_v they_o to_o the_o like_a purpose_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o so_o say_v i_o now_o again_o if_o our_o bishop_n &_o other_o clergy_n man_n employ_v the_o overplus_n of_o their_o large_a and_o plentiful_a live_n unto_o evil_n and_o naughty_a use_n neither_o i_o nor_o any_o other_o can_v therein_o defend_v they_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o my_o answer_n to_o these_o place_n and_o of_o the_o imperfect_a manner_n of_o reason_v use_v by_o the_o adversary_n it_o behove_v to_o consider_v that_o god_n in_o his_o word_n lay_v down_o a_o perfect_a measure_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o a_o absolute_a rule_n of_o that_o life_n that_o christian_n shall_v lead_v as_o for_o example_n when_o he_o say_v in_o the_o law_n thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n with_o all_o thy_o mind_n with_o all_o thy_o power_n and_o thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o this_o commandment_n require_v that_o all_o the_o part_n &_o member_n of_o our_o soul_n inward_o and_o our_o body_n &_o good_n outward_o shall_v be_v bend_v and_o give_v over_o to_o the_o set_v forth_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n our_o heart_n be_v the_o root_n of_o our_o affection_n therefore_o we_o be_v command_v to_o love_n or_o hate_v nothing_o to_o fear_v or_o hope_n for_o nothing_o to_o desire_v or_o shun_v nothing_o not_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o any_o thing_n nor_o rejoice_v in_o any_o thing_n but_o only_o in_o god_n &_o his_o glory_n by_o

nothing_o but_o in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n our_o power_n note_v all_o the_o strength_n and_o sense_n of_o our_o body_n and_o the_o ability_n of_o worldly_a substance_n and_o outward_a gift_n of_o

as_o though_o they_o possess_v not_o they_o that_o use_v this_o world_n as_o though_o they_o use_v it_o not_o to_o this_o rule_n of_o christian_n perfection_n appertain_v all_o those_o sentence_n and_o exhortation_n of_o christ_n &_o of_o his_o apostle_n which_o before_o you_o have_v hear_v allege_v tend_v all_o to_o this_o end_n to_o pull_v away_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n from_o the_o love_n of_o riches_n and_o care_n of_o this_o world_n that_o they_o may_v set_v the_o same_o whole_o upon_o god_n this_o rule_n be_v lay_v down_o not_o only_o for_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n as_o though_o they_o only_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n but_o also_o for_o all_o other_o faithful_a christian_n who_o it_o bind_v as_o strait_o as_o it_o do_v the_o minister_n for_o it_o be_v a_o mark_n unto_o which_o they_o both_o shall_v direct_v their_o whole_a endeavour_n they_o therefore_o that_o will_v apply_v this_o rule_n to_o some_o one_o state_n of_o man_n and_o not_o to_o other_o fall_v into_o like_a error_n as_o monk_n &_o friar_n do_v dream_v a_o more_o straight_o order_n by_o god_n to_o be_v appoint_v to_o one_o they_o to_o another_o the_o minister_n so_o much_o as_o he_o lack_v of_o this_o perfection_n so_o much_o be_v he_o indebt_v and_o in_o danger_n unto_o god_n and_o if_o he_o fly_v not_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n purchase_v by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n to_o wash_v away_o that_o want_n &_o imperfection_n undoubted_o there_o rest_v nothing_o but_o eternal_a damnation_n now_o as_o i_o have_v say_v of_o the_o minister_n so_o must_v i_o say_v of_o all_o christian_n beside_o therefore_o out_o of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v no_o particular_a application_n to_o be_v make_v more_o to_o one_o state_n then_o to_o another_o but_o only_o this_o that_o

god_n creature_n than_o the_o bridle_v of_o the_o affection_n &_o humble_a contentation_n of_o the_o mind_n before_o god_n by_o this_o corrupt_a manner_n of_o reason_v in_o these_o day_n be_v frame_v sundry_a dangerous_a argument_n against_o the_o state_n of_o the_o ministry_n here_o now_o with_o we_o in_o england_n as_o for_o example_n our_o bishop_n and_o minister_n be_v evil_a man_n they_o
