to_o deny_v myself_o whole_o but_o this_o i_o will_v do_v i_o will_v take_v upon_o i_o the_o profession_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o give_v he_o some_o entertainment_n in_o my_o heart_n but_o not_o whole_o i_o will_v not_o trust_v he_o too_o far_o but_o take_v he_o in_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o the_o world_n in_o the_o other_o that_o if_o at_o any_o time_n i_o be_v trouble_v for_o the_o one_o i_o may_v cleave_v with_o honesty_n to_o the_o other_o and_o say_v i_o never_o mean_v any_o less_o thus_o do_v a_o number_n in_o these_o day_n as_o their_o deed_n do_v most_o evident_o declare_v but_o what_o get_v they_o by_o it_o sure_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o just_a judgement_n do_v so_o bridle_v they_o because_o they_o will_v not_o trust_v he_o whole_o to_o be_v their_o governor_n that_o they_o do_v never_o feel_v the_o sweetness_n of_o religion_n in_o so_o much_o that_o in_o time_n of_o persecution_n they_o vanish_v away_o and_o in_o the_o day_n of_o trouble_n they_o know_v not_o which_o way_n to_o turn_v because_o they_o will_v glad_o retain_v christ_n and_o yet_o feel_v no_o comfort_n by_o his_o word_n dare_v not_o cleave_v whole_o unto_o he_o but_o let_v we_o beware_v of_o part_a stake_n between_o god_n and_o the_o world_n let_v we_o not_o come_v limp_a unto_o the_o lord_n but_o with_o our_o whole_a will_n heart_n and_o mind_n have_v affiance_n in_o he_o that_o by_o his_o mercy_n we_o may_v reap_v the_o benefit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n obedience_n for_o our_o full_a contentment_n in_o this_o world_n and_o glorification_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o when_o they_o have_v see_v it_o they_o publish_v abroad_o that_o which_o be_v tell_v they_o of_o the_o child_n now_o follow_v the_o second_o fruit_n of_o their_o travail_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o see_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n in_o his_o promise_n and_o perceive_v that_o god_n have_v some_o great_a work_n to_o do_v in_o he_o they_o disperse_v it_o abroad_o and_o tell_v it_o to_o other_o as_o they_o can_v get_v convenient_a occasion_n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n let_v we_o observe_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v learn_v out_o of_o the_o same_o for_o our_o instruction_n &_o first_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o time_n when_o they_o publish_v it_o even_o when_o they_o do_v see_v and_o perceive_v plain_o that_o it_o be_v so_o indeed_o as_o they_o be_v tell_v of_o the_o angel_n so_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o denial_n of_o it_o any_o way_n which_o teach_v we_o this_o lesson_n that_o religion_n must_v first_o be_v know_v before_o it_o be_v utter_v for_o how_o can_v a_o man_n reveal_v a_o thing_n unto_o a_o other_o whereof_o he_o be_v still_o ignorant_a service_n himself_n how_o can_v a_o blind_a man_n see_v to_o directe_v a_o other_o in_o the_o way_n and_o therefore_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o be_v require_v at_o our_o hand_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v that_o we_o seek_v thorough_o to_o know_v his_o will_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o most_o certain_a ground_n both_o how_o to_o directe_v our_o own_o way_n and_o also_o to_o make_v our_o light_n shine_v to_o other_o which_o all_o man_n do_v desire_v to_o do_v or_o at_o least_o to_o be_v so_o account_v but_o because_o they_o have_v not_o that_o care_n to_o be_v direct_v by_o certain_a knowledge_n both_o their_o own_o way_n that_o seem_v good_a in_o their_o own_o eye_n yea_o though_o they_o be_v work_n in_o themselves_o good_a be_v odious_a in_o the_o sight_n man_n of_o god_n as_o be_v fruit_n that_o proceed_v not_o from_o faith_n and_o also_o their_o profession_n or_o outward_a show_n be_v espy_v faulty_a even_o in_o the_o world_n and_o they_o account_v hypocrite_n so_o that_o if_o we_o enter_v due_o into_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o estate_n of_o such_o person_n we_o shall_v see_v it_o to_o be_v of_o all_o other_o most_o desperate_a for_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n their_o do_n be_v abominable_a insomuch_o as_o they_o have_v not_o learn_v by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o word_n to_o do_v they_o in_o faith_n and_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n they_o be_v also_o reject_v for_o both_o the_o godly_a to_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v the_o spirit_n of_o discretion_n to_o discern_v those_o thing_n that_o differre_fw-la do_v see_v their_o course_n to_o be_v only_o in_o outward_a appearance_n and_o therefore_o join_v not_o with_o they_o and_o also_o the_o wicked_a who_o can_v discern_v otherwise_o then_o by_o the_o fruit_n do_v see_v that_o they_o make_v a_o show_n of_o one_o thing_n and_o practice_v a_o other_o and_o therefore_o do_v even_o of_o all_o other_o detest_v they_o most_o so_o that_o they_o be_v neither_o belove_a of_o god_n nor_o man_n must_v needs_o of_o all_o other_o be_v in_o the_o worst_a case_n therefore_o they_o that_o intend_v to_o take_v a_o right_a cause_n where_o with_o they_o may_v both_o please_v god_n ●…_n bring_v comfort_n unto_o their_o own_o soul_n and_o also_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o their_o adversary_n as_o they_o be_v desirous_a to_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v approve_v before_o man_n so_o let_v they_o first_o begin_v with_o this_o that_o they_o may_v learn_v of_o the_o word_n how_o they_o may_v have_v warrant_n from_o he_o and_o be_v sure_a that_o they_o do_v his_o will_n and_o not_o to_o take_v upon_o they_o for_o any_o private_a occasion_n either_o of_o gain_n credit_n or_o please_v other_o to_o make_v show_n of_o that_o which_o neither_o they_o know_v nor_o yet_o have_v any_o feel_v of_o so_o shall_v they_o in_o any_o extremity_n have_v the_o testimony_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n the_o comfort_n whereof_o overcome_v m_v all_o those_o evil_n that_o the_o godly_a be_v continual_o through_o the_o malice_n of_o satan_n haunt_v withal_o moreover_o as_o we_o see_v that_o these_o shéepheard_n begin_v with_o knowledge_n and_o be_v first_o instruct_v thorough_o in_o the_o thing_n themselves_o so_o we_o see_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v sure_a intelligence_n of_o the_o matter_n they_o publish_v it_o and_o make_v it_o know_v to_o other_o wherein_o they_o make_v know_v both_o their_o thankful_a heart_n to_o god_n and_o also_o their_o love_a affection_n to_o their_o brother_n their_o thankful_a heart_n that_o have_v receive_v such_o a_o benefit_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n think_v it_o their_o duty_n to_o make_v know_v unto_o other_o what_o a_o bountiful_a god_n he_o be_v their_o love_a affection_n to_o their_o brethren_n that_o be_v desirous_a to_o have_v they_o partaker_n of_o those_o notable_a benefit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o birth_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n whereby_o we_o may_v learn_v a_o most_o notable_a point_n of_o our_o duty_n that_o our_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n and_o love_n instruction_n to_o our_o brethren_n must_v move_v we_o by_o all_o lawful_a mean_n to_o make_v that_o know_v unto_o other_o which_o we_o ourselves_o do_v learn_v out_o of_o god_n word_n the_o sum_n whereof_o stand_v in_o these_o two_o point_n to_o reprove_v our_o brother_n offend_v and_o to_o instruct_v they_o when_o we_o see_v they_o ignorant_a the_o carnal_a man_n that_o will_v not_o be_v reprove_v because_o he_o will_v not_o amend_v nor_o be_v instruct_v for_o that_o he_o despise_v knowledge_n will_v say_v that_o a_o minister_n must_v do_v so_o but_o private_a person_n be_v not_o to_o meddle_v in_o any_o such_o matter_n against_o who_o if_o i_o shall_v allege_v no_o more_o but_o only_o the_o do_n of_o these_o shéephearde_n he_o be_v thorough_o answer_v but_o to_o make_v it_o more_o clear_a by_o the_o scripture_n for_o reprove_v sin_n 17._o which_o be_v the_o first_o point_n the_o lord_n say_v thou_o shall_v not_o hate_v thy_o brother_n in_o thy_o heart_n but_o thou_o shall_v plain_o rebuke_v thy_o neighbour_n and_o suffer_v he_o not_o to_o sin_v whereby_o we_o do_v most_o evident_o see_v both_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o reprove_v one_o another_o offend_v and_o also_o that_o if_o we_o do_v it_o not_o we_o hate_v he_o and_o for_o instruct_v the_o second_o point_n david_n say_v restore_v to_o i_o 13._o o_o lord_n the_o joy_n of_o thy_o salvation_n and_o sta_fw-la blish_v i_o with_o thy_o free_a spirit_n then_o shall_v i_o teach_v thy_o way_n unto_o the_o wicked_a and_o sinner_n shall_v be_v convert_v unto_o thou_o so_o that_o it_o appear_v plain_o hereby_o what_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o every_o christian_a which_o indeed_o cause_v they_o that_o have_v a_o care_n to_o keep_v god_n commandment_n to_o take_v this_o course_n where_o with_o all_o the_o godless_a be_v most_o of_o all_o offend_v and_o be_v ready_a instruction_n to_o offer_v they_o any_o violent_a injury_n charge_v they_o to_o do_v it_o not_o of_o
