the_o other_o two_o the_o way_n of_o god_n indeed_o and_o religion_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n we_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v easy_a but_o there_o be_v two_o other_o thing_n as_o the_o discipline_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o suffering_n that_o jesus_n call_v we_o unto_o how_o will_v that_o be_v make_v out_o to_o be_v easy_a to_o we_o now_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o aim_n at_o these_o two_o as_o well_o as_o to_o any_o other_o to_o let_v they_o know_v what_o discipline_n and_o government_n he_o will_v have_v his_o people_n come_v under_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o indeed_o we_o can_v be_v the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o we_o ought_v except_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o put_v our_o neck_n under_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o discipline_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o government_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o church_n we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o sufficient_a mere_o that_o we_o profess_v religion_n and_o profess_v godliness_n that_o we_o keep_v from_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o we_o walk_v close_o with_o god_n in_o our_o family_n but_o christ_n require_v likewise_o that_o we_o shall_v come_v and_o sub●it_v ourselves_o to_o what_o government_n he_o appoint_v in_o his_o church_n and_o that_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o well_o as_o his_o rule_n in_o our_o heart_n indeed_o that_o be_v the_o principal_a work_n of_o christ_n in_o rule_v in_o our_o heart_n but_o christ_n have_v a_o kingly_a power_n in_o rule_v in_o his_o church_n the_o main_a yoke_n be_v inward_a but_o there_o be_v a_o outward_a yoke_n too_o for_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v man_n live_v as_o they_o listen_v in_o a_o disorderly_a way_n but_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o all_o his_o saint_n though_o some_o in_o one_o place_n and_o some_o in_o another_o shall_v join_v together_o in_o exercise_v such_o ordinance_n as_o he_o have_v appoint_v in_o the_o external_a govern_n of_o his_o church_n and_o yet_o so_o that_o all_o these_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o a_o spiritual_a heart_n though_o it_o may_v seem_v very_o difficult_a to_o a_o carnal_a heart_n for_o i_o shall_v wrong_v the_o text_n and_o not_o be_v faithful_a if_o i_o shall_v not_o give_v you_o what_o i_o very_o believe_v be_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o text_n i_o say_v this_o yoke_n be_v the_o order_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o church_n if_o it_o be_v neglect_v by_o people_n it_o be_v a_o great_a dishonour_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o hinder_v they_o exceed_o in_o the_o way_n of_o religion_n and_o though_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o carnal_a heart_n it_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o spiritual_a heart_n i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o one_o of_o the_o great_a thing_n that_o cause_v so_o much_o malignity_n in_o this_o kingdom_n at_o this_o day_n it_o be_v the_o fear_v of_o the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n man_n be_v afraid_a of_o the_o government_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o church_n they_o be_v afraid_a they_o shall_v not_o have_v that_o liberty_n for_o their_o lust_n and_o wickedness_n as_o former_o but_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v yoke_n to_o restrain_v and_o keep_v they_o from_o those_o loose_a way_n that_o former_o they_o live_v in_o and_o you_o may_v see_v plain_o it_o be_v so_o who_o be_v they_o that_o join_v with_o the_o malignant_a party_n that_o have_v such_o spirit_n but_o such_o as_o have_v loose_a spirit_n they_o be_v those_o that_o live_v very_o loose_o &_o other_o that_o have_v mere_a civility_n and_o know_v little_a of_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n they_o be_v afraid_a of_o this_o and_z oh_o how_o be_v it_o say_v by_o most_o we_o will_v not_o have_v this_o man_n reign_n over_o we_o they_o even_o say_v they_o will_v break_v his_o bond_n asunder_o and_o cast_v away_o his_o cord_n that_o be_v the_o controversy_n that_o it_o be_v come_v to_o at_o this_o very_a day_n and_o that_o prophecy_n in_o psalm_n 2._o seem_v to_o be_v fulfil_v at_o this_o day_n at_o verse_n 2._o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n set_v themselves_o and_o the_o ruler_n take_v counsel_n together_o against_o the_o lord_n and_o

of_o zion_n for_o all_o this_o i_o will_v set_v my_o king_n upon_o my_o holy_a hill_n certain_o christ_n be_v not_o set_v up_o as_o king_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v whatever_o profession_n we_o

of_o some_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o their_o heart_n you_o will_v say_v that_o be_v secret_a ay_o but_o though_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v in_o secret_a yet_o certain_o this_o may_v

of_o word_n &_o habit_n but_o a_o lowliness_n of_o heart_n that_o they_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o a_o base_a fordo_v spirit_n that_o be_v as_o uncomely_a for_o a_o christian_a as_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n a_o christian_a though_o he_o must_v have_v the_o lowliness_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o christ_n yet_o there_o be_v the_o lowliness_n of_o a_o base_a fordo_v spirit_n that_o be_v infinite_o unbecoming_a the_o excellency_n of_o a_o christian_n what_o be_v that_o base_a drossy_a low_a spirit_n of_o many_o people_n first_o thus_o it_o be_v a_o base_a fordo_v spirit_n to_o employ_v themselves_o in_o thing_n beneath_o their_o condition_n in_o which_o god_n have_v set_v they_o as_o for_o instance_n suppose_v a_o magistrate_n or_o a_o minister_n shall_v fill_v a_o

be_v beneath_o they_o to_o employ_v themselves_o in_o thing_n that_o be_v beneath_o the_o condition_n that_o god_n have_v set_v they_o in_o this_o be_v not_o humility_n but_o fordo_v and_o base_a
