they_o think_v sometime_o they_o will_v do_v evil_a if_o they_o shall_v look_v on_o it_o as_o evil_n therefore_o jesus_n christ_n have_v great_a reason_n to_o say_v to_o we_o so_o often_o beware_v

therefore_o to_o satisfy_v your_o demand_n i_o will_v explain_v the_o nine_o way_n by_o which_o we_o offend_v god_n in_o another_o first_o we_o commit_v sin_n in_o counsel_v to_o do_v evil_a how_o many_o be_v there_o who_o be_v guilty_a of_o this_o sin_n without_o perceive_v it_o if_o you_o have_v a_o friend_n affront_v you_o will_v say_v to_o he_o i_o will_v not_o suffer_v this_o affront_n without_o revenge_v myself_o or_o you_o will_v tell_v he_o you_o will_v not_o have_v the_o heart_n to_o suffer_v it_o and_o such_o like_a thing_n or_o if_o we_o give_v any_o counsel_n that_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o righteousness_n goodness_n or_o truth_n of_o god_n or_o if_o we_o counsel_v any_o to_o do_v evil_a for_o our_o pleasure_n or_o profit_n or_o otherwise_o these_o counsel_n be_v as_o many_o sin_n as_o the_o wicked_a action_n which_o those_o commit_v who_o we_o have_v counsel_v to_o do_v they_o whether_o they_o be_v in_o word_n or_o deed_n because_o our_o
advice_n be_v often_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o sin_n be_v do_v by_o a_o just_a title_n then_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v the_o punishment_n of_o it_o as_o we_o shall_v certain_o do_v before_o god_n who_o look_v more_o to_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o heart_n than_o to_o the_o evil_a action_n and_o he_o who_o counsel_v another_o to_o do_v evil_a be_v sometime_o more_o wicked_a than_o he_o who_o do_v it_o out_o of_o complaisance_n to_o his_o counsellor_n or_o out_o of_o the_o esteem_n he_o have_v for_o he_o those_o in_o office_n or_o attorney_n and_o advocate_n who_o give_v counsel_n and_o not_o according_a to_o straight_a justice_n and_o truth_n do_v often_o fall_v into_o these_o sin_n and_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v condemn_v of_o the_o same_o guilt_n with_o he_o who_o commit_v the_o evil_a deed_n to_o which_o they_o have_v advise_v he_o for_o they_o have_v both_o equal_o contribute_v thereunto_o and_o the_o counsellor_n often_o with_o more_o wickedness_n than_o the_o doer_n because_o to_o counsel_v evil_a be_v worse_a than_o to_o do_v it_o second_o he_o who_o support_v evil_n commit_v also_o the_o same_o sin_n with_o he_o who_o do_v it_o because_o if_o evil_a be_v not_o support_v it_o will_v not_o be_v so_o often_o commit_v therefore_o the_o supporter_n of_o evil_a cause_n the_o evil_a deed_n and_o give_v the_o man_n boldness_n to_o commit_v it_o the_o more_o and_o therefore_o he_o who_o support_v it_o ought_v just_o to_o bear_v the_o punishment_n of_o he_o who_o do_v it_o yea_o even_o more_o for_o it_o will_v be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o

will_v not_o do_v if_o he_o be_v not_o support_v in_o it_o the_o three_o way_n by_o which_o we_o commit_v sin_n in_o another_o be_v in_o command_v to_o do_v evil._n in_o which_o father_n and_o

guilty_a of_o as_o many_o sin_n as_o they_o command_v their_o subject_n or_o inferior_n who_o very_o often_o if_o they_o be_v leave_v to_o themselves_o will_v not_o or_o dare_v not_o commit_v the_o

of_o the_o one_o can_v lessen_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o other_o but_o both_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o same_o command_v sin_n in_o which_o many_o be_v deceive_v who_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o do_v the_o evil_n which_o have_v be_v enjoin_v they_o by_o father_n mother_n master_n or_o mistress_n or_o any_o other_o superior_n whosoever_o they_o be_v as_o also_o such_o

they_o commit_v as_o many_o as_o they_o have_v command_v to_o be_v do_v for_o if_o their_o will_n be_v not_o evil_a they_o will_v never_o advise_v to_o do_v evil_a much_o less_o command_v it_o the_o four_o way_n by_o which_o we_o offend_v god_n by_o another_o be_v when_o we_o commend_v or_o approve_v evil_a this_o be_v very_o common_a in_o this_o age_n wherein_o evil_a doer_n be_v commend_v when_o we_o see_v any_o one_o avenge_v himself_o of_o a_o affront_n we_o will_v say_v he_o show_v that_o he_o have_v courage_n we_o be_v ready_a even_o to_o praise_v child_n that_o be_v malicious_a in_o defend_v themselves_o as_o well_o as_o other_o who_o give_v blow_v for_o blow_n or_o those_o 18._o who_o signalise_v themselves_o by_o pompand_n vanity_n or_o we_o praise_v those_o who_o exceed_v in_o feast_v or_o other_o evil_n whatever_o they_o be_v now_o the_o praise_n of_o evil_n incite_v man_n to_o do_v it_o the_o more_o and_o encourage_v they_o to_o commit_v it_o the_o more_o bold_o and_o therefore_o he_o who_o praise_v it_o be_v guilty_a of_o as_o many_o sin_n as_o he_o who_o do_v the_o evil._n the_o five_o way_n by_o which_o we_o offend_v god_n in_o another_o be_v in_o partake_v of_o the_o evil_a as_o when_o one_o have_v some_o advantage_n by_o the_o evil_n do_v by_o another_o or_o if_o any_o one_o profit_n by_o the_o theft_n which_o another_o commit_v whether_o

sin_n which_o other_o man_n commit_v by_o all_o these_o thing_n man_n be_v partaker_n of_o other_o man_n sin_n and_o thereby_o do_v the_o same_o evil_n with_o he_o who_o direct_o commit_v it_o yea_o even_o more_o because_o he_o who_o commit_v theft_n or_o any_o other_o actual_a wickedness_n run_v the_o hazard_n of_o his_o life_n or_o of_o other_o corporal_a punishment_n but_o he_o who_o partake_v in_o it_o only_o live_v without_o fear_n though_o he_o be_v equal_o guilty_a with_o he_o who_o commit_v it_o nevertheless_o he_o do_v not_o undergo_v the_o same_o penance_n in_o this_o world_n neither_o do_v he_o acknowledge_v his_o fault_n that_o he_o may_v give_v satisfaction_n for_o it_o in_o the_o other_o therefore_o his_o sin_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o dangerous_a because_o he_o do_v not_o weigh_v it_o as_o it_o be_v weigh_v before_o god_n the_o six_o way_n that_o we_o offend_v god_n in_o another_o be_v when_o we_o take_v pleasure_n in_o another_o man_n sin_n as_o he_o who_o

luxury_n and_o vanity_n thus_o whatever_o the_o evil_n be_v the_o pleasure_n that_o we_o take_v in_o see_v another_o do_v evil_a be_v sin_n for_o he_o who_o love_v god_n aught_o to_o be_v grieve_v 21._o for_o all_o kind_n of_o evil_n that_o he_o see_v commit_v by_o other_o as_o well_o as_o for_o what_o he_o commit_v himself_o the_o seven_o way_n be_v when_o we_o do_v not_o correct_v evil_a as_o much_o as_o be_v in_o our_o power_n as_o father_n mother_n master_n mistress_n who_o tolerate_v the_o evil_a of_o their_o child_n or_o inferior_n because_o they_o desire_v not_o to_o offend_v they_o or_o for_o some_o other_o humane_a respect_n or_o even_o out_o of_o softness_n of_o temper_n or_o natural_a goodness_n suffer_v evil_a rather_o than_o they_o will_v correct_v it_o when_o they_o be_v

accessary_a and_o casual_a not_o at_o all_o necessary_a for_o he_o that_o fulfil_v this_o only_a essential_a commandment_n which_o man_n now_o have_v forget_v because_o of_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n which_o have_v so_o fill_v their_o spirit_n that_o no_o body_n penetrate_v now_o into_o the_o essence_n of_o virtue_n and_o they_o know_v not_o wherein_o it_o consist_v which_o be_v very_o deplorable_a i_o ask_v she_o how_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o man_n shall_v come_v to_o such_o a_o ignorance_n of_o god_n and_o of_o himself_o and_o to_o such_o a_o forgetfulness_n of_o his_o salvation_n she_o say_v the_o reason_n be_v sir_n that_o whereas_o man_n ought_v to_o apply_v their_o reason_n and_o understanding_n to_o know_v the_o work_n of_o god_n they_o have_v apply_v they_o to_o earthly_a thing_n and_o pry_v into_o the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o apply_v they_o to_o evil._n for_o example_n we_o see_v some_o rod_n or_o chastisement_n befall_v we_o we_o immediate_o say_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a and_o that_o he_o afflict_v we_o these_o be_v the_o sentiment_n of_o the_o most_o pious_a and_o they_o be_v much_o better_a than_o those_o who_o ascribe_v this_o to_o fortune_n or_o second_o cause_n for_o there_o be_v no_o solidity_n in_o this_o whereas_o the_o first_o have_v some_o regard_n of_o god_n yet_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v so_o imperfect_a that_o it_o be_v injurious_a to_o he_o instead_o of_o be_v honourable_a for_o if_o we_o speak_v true_o of_o god_n it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v angry_a because_o he_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o any_o passion_n no_o more_o to_o wrath_n than_o other_o passion_n neither_o do_v he_o afflict_v we_o because_o no_o evil_a or_o affliction_n can_v come_v from_o he_o as_o be_v the_o source_n of_o all_o good_a from_o which_o no_o evil_a can_v be_v derive_v but_o these_o term_n be_v use_v even_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o make_v we_o understand_v something_o of_o god_n according_a to_o our_o capacity_n and_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o any_o other_o thing_n than_o god_n afflict_v we_o it_o will_v induce_v man_n be_v so_o imperfect_a to_o vengeance_n instead_o of_o repentance_n it_o be_v better_a therefore_o to_o use_v term_n which_o do_v rather_o excite_v we_o to_o virtue_n as_o the_o scripture_n way_n of_o speak_v do_v wise_o but_o we_o must_v not_o infer_v from_o this_o that_o these_o term_n be_v in_o effect_n true_a but_o only_o to_o give_v we_o some_o signification_n that_o be_v less_o evil_a of_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o understand_v and_o nevertheless_o they_o insist_v sometime_o upon_o certain_a term_n and_o thereon_o build_v dispute_n and_o question_n which_o amuse_n the_o world_n and_o turn_v they_o away_o from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o themselves_o and_o of_o eternal_a salvation_n as_o the_o debate_n about_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n or_o predestination_n have_v do_v they_o find_v it_o upon_o this_o that_o god_n in_o several_a place_n of_o the_o sacred_a text_n have_v say_v etc._n that_o he_o have_v elect_v one_o and_o reprobate_v another_o or_o that_o he_o forsake_v his_o people_n or_o harden_a pharaoh_n heart_n these_o be_v all_o term_n accommodate_v to_o our_o capacity_n but_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v so_o real_o for_o god_n elect_v all_o man_n that_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v to_o salvation_n 4._o and_o none_o to_o reprobation_n because_o god_n 45._o do_v always_o good_a to_o all_o without_o respect_n of_o person_n or_o regard_n of_o man_n merit_n or_o demerit_n for_o he_o respect_v himself_o only_o that_o he_o may_v still_o exercise_v his_o goodness_n from_o which_o there_o can_v proceed_v so_o much_o as_o the_o reprobation_n of_o one_o soul_n for_o where_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o all_o good_a there_o no_o evil_a can_v be_v find_v and_o reprobation_n be_v the_o great_a evil_n in_o the_o world_n which_o never_o can_v come_v from_o god_n who_o be_v all_o good_a and_o to_o believe_v that_o god_n give_v his_o grace_n only_o to_o who_o he_o please_v be_v also_o to_o render_v he_o partial_a and_o passionate_a favour_v one_o more_o than_o another_o which_o can_v be_v find_v in_o god_n who_o be_v always_o just_a as_o well_o as_o always_o good_a and_o never_o favour_v any_o out_o of_o preference_n though_o the_o scripture_n use_v these_o term_n nevertheless_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n be_v still_o enlarge_v according_a as_o the_o soul_n resign_v its_o self_n to_o his_o will_n and_o no_o far_o because_o his_o goodness_n be_v still_o accompany_v with_o righteousness_n he_o still_o abound_v in_o grace_n and_o deny_v they_o to_o none_o if_o any_o do_v not_o feel_v the_o operation_n of_o they_o it_o be_v because_o he_o use_v they_o according_a to_o his_o own_o will_n apply_v they_o to_o evil_a as_o be_v do_v in_o nature_n when_o they_o abuse_v their_o beauty_n health_n wealth_n or_o honour_n to_o offend_v god_n who_o notwithstanding_o do_v not_o withdraw_v these_o natural_a grace_n because_o of_o their_o abuse_n no_o more_o than_o he_o do_v his_o spiritual_a grace_n which_o his_o goodness_n still_o bestow_v though_o we_o abuse_v they_o for_o god_n can_v never_o cease_v to_o do_v well_o and_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o forsake_v his_o people_n this_o be_v also_o but_o a_o way_n of_o speak_v because_o god_n never_o forsake_v any_o thing_n since_o he_o comprehend_v in_o himself_o all_o thing_n he_o can_v quit_v or_o abandon_v any_o thing_n no_o more_o than_o he_o can_v harden_v the_o heart_n of_o any_o for_o this_o will_v be_v to_o do_v a_o ill_a thing_n but_o these_o be_v all_o term_n use_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o man_n may_v not_o interpret_v to_o a_o evil_a sense_n the_o work_n which_o they_o see_v fall_v out_o without_o their_o knowledge_n for_o if_o the_o text_n say_v that_o man_n have_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o also_o their_o salvation_n at_o their_o will_n they_o so_o love_v themselves_o that_o they_o will_v not_o any_o long_o acknowledge_v god_n but_o will_v ascribe_v to_o themselves_o the_o power_n of_o save_v themselves_o which_o will_v be_v a_o great_a evil_n than_o to_o say_v that_o our_o salvation_n depend_v immediate_o upon_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n because_o this_o be_v true_a but_o not_o in_o the_o way_n that_o man_n take_v it_o when_o they_o say_v that_o they_o can_v be_v save_v without_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n as_o if_o god_n have_v not_o give_v his_o grace_n to_o all_o man_n from_o their_o creation_n which_o whatever_o a_o man_n do_v will_v never_o be_v take_v
