of_o revenge_n as_o other_o will_v do_v and_o partly_o because_o the_o law_n of_o man_n do_v not_o reach_v to_o a_o sufficient_a way_n of_o correct_v and_o reform_v such_o indignity_n and_o especial_o

or_o otherwise_o it_o be_v better_o for_o those_o that_o give_v the_o scandal_n or_o do_v the_o wrong_n that_o a_o millstone_n be_v hang_v about_o their_o neck_n and_o they_o cast_v into_o the_o sea_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n the_o scripture_n show_v that_o god_n take_v great_a notice_n of_o the_o wrong_n do_v to_o widow_n and_o orphan_n that_o have_v little_a mean_v to_o help_v or_o protect_v themselves_o and_o there_o be_v reason_n for_o it_o for_o the_o mean_a christian_n be_v god_n servant_n and_o belong_v to_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o must_v protect_v they_o and_o beside_o god_n law_n be_v so_o powerful_a that_o it_o condemn_v wrong_n of_o all_o sort_n to_o all_o man_n and_o further_o there_o be_v a_o cry_n in_o oppression_n or_o wrong_n that_o go_v up_o to_o heaven_n which_o will_v not_o cease_v till_o god_n hear_v it_o which_o as_o it_o may_v be_v a_o comfort_n to_o such_o as_o be_v wrong_v that_o they_o have_v so_o great_a a_o patron_n as_o god_n be_v so_o it_o shall_v warn_v all_o superior_n to_o look_v to_o their_o behaviour_n for_o though_o man_n do_v not_o punish_v they_o yet_o god_n will_n doct._n 5._o that_o bare_o to_o suffer_v grief_n be_v not_o a_o praise_n but_o to_o suffer_v it_o in_o a_o right_a manner_n and_o for_o the_o manner_n this_o likewise_o tell_v we_o of_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o we_o suffer_v not_o as_o evil_a doer_n just_o and_o

thing_n that_o concern_v a_o religious_a life_n and_o then_o our_o duty_n to_o man_n and_o in_o particular_a to_o magistrate_n this_o the_o apostle_n intimate_v in_o that_o he_o first_o instruct_v

they_o do_v for_o the_o most_o part_n persecute_v that_o way_n and_o therefore_o they_o do_v avoid_v meddle_v or_o undertake_v to_o teach_v they_o that_o will_v not_o learn_v but_o rather_o be_v

too_o skilful_a in_o the_o duty_n of_o superior_n that_o they_o may_v first_o learn_v to_o show_v duty_n before_o they_o call_v for_o duty_n from_o their_o superior_n that_o may_v be_v one_o reason_n why_o the_o duty_n of_o master_n be_v not_o here_o handle_v and_o in_o other_o place_n of_o the_o epistle_n but_o brief_o for_o many_o time_n the_o description_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o superior_n be_v

the_o apostle_n do_v labour_n to_o entice_v the_o gentile_n to_o religion_n by_o let_v they_o see_v how_o careful_a they_o be_v to_o breed_v goodness_n and_o love_n in_o their_o wife_n servant_n and_o
