not_o so_o strict_o bind_v as_o the_o saint_n be_v under_o the_o old_a testament_n this_o you_o have_v prove_v and_o open_v to_o you_o in_o some_o measure_n the_o last_o day_n in_o the_o morning_n we_o have_v occasion_n from_o this_o doctrine_n by_o the_o by_o to_o call_v upon_o poor_a sinner_n to_o come_v in_o to_o christ_n because_o their_o be_v such_o largeness_n and_o liberty_n and_o

we_o may_v proceed_v to_o the_o next_o in_o the_o next_o place_n therefore_o use_v 2_o people_n reproof_n of_o two_o sort_n of_o people_n we_o may_v hence_o see_v the_o error_n or_o mistake_n that_o be_v in_o divers_a christian_n among_o we_o that_o do_v cause_n contention_n we_o may_v just_o reprove_v they_o from_o this_o doctrine_n we_o may_v discover_v they_o at_o least_o i_o will_v not_o use_v any_o nickname_n it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v understand_v more_o clear_o what_o i_o mean_v if_o i_o shall_v but_o i_o see_v the_o devil_n get_v much_o advantage_n by_o nickname_n by_o call_v man_n presbyterian_n and_o antinomian_o and_o anabaptist_n and_o i_o know_v not_o what_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o beware_v how_o you_o use_v those_o name_n though_o i_o say_v not_o it_o be_v unlawful_a yet_o there_o be_v mistake_n let_v we_o call_v they_o as_o gentle_o as_o we_o can_v that_o be_v general_o among_o we_o either_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n or_o on_o the_o right_n hand_n those_o that_o err_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n and_o both_o be_v to_o be_v reprove_v from_o this_o doctrine_n on_o the_o left_a hand_n i_o mean_v those_o that_o make_v every_o thing_n lawful_a and_o will_v have_v no_o band_n have_v 1_o those_o that_o will_v make_v the_o way_n wide_o than_o christ_n have_v nor_o tie_v as_o it_o be_v they_o will_v make_v the_o way_n wide_o than_o christ_n have_v make_v it_o they_o will_v makea_fw-mi great_a latitude_n than_o god_n have_v make_v now_o i_o say_v these_o all_o come_v to_o be_v reprove_v from_o this_o word_n all_o in_o the_o text_n for_o i_o show_v that_o by_o the_o word_n all_o be_v not_o mean_v all_o thing_n in_o a_o universallity_n that_o i_o may_v be_v any_o thing_n i_o may_v be_v a_o drunkard_n and_o be_v a_o christian_n i_o may_v be_v a_o swearer_n and_o be_v a_o christian_n i_o may_v do_v what_o i_o listen_v and_o yet_o be_v a_o christian_n but_o as_o i_o say_v by_o all_o thing_n be_v mean_v many_o thing_n &_o those_o that_o take_v it_o universal_o will_v do_v nothing_o therefore_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n i_o say_v these_o do_v mistake_v and_o of_o these_o there_o be_v three_o sort_n all_o godly_a christian_n i_o hope_v they_o be_v i_o wish_v every_o one_o to_o own_o his_o share_n and_o myself_o where_o i_o be_o guilty_a there_o be_v one_o sort_n of_o people_n among_o we_o you_o have_v a_o name_n for_o they_o but_o i_o will_v not_o use_v it_o that_o do_v apprehend_v so_o much_o beauty_n and_o lovelines_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n in_o grace_n and_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o person_n and_o

disdainful_a eye_n belove_a i_o make_v not_o man_n of_o straw_n to_o speak_v to_o but_o i_o know_v many_o godly_a people_n that_o hold_v so_o that_o say_v it_o be_v ridiculous_a and_o they_o care_v not_o which_o way_n the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v order_v or_o govern_v because_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n consist_v in_o righteousness_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o they_o smile_v to_o see_v contention_n between_o presbyterian_o and_o other_o and_o think_v that_o these_o be_v too_o mean_v and_o too_o low_a thing_n for_o saint_n to_o look_v after_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o my_o thought_n i_o confess_v as_o i_o conceive_v that_o of_o all_o other_o this_o be_v the_o least_o error_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o error_n and_o mistake_v for_o though_o it_o

and_o that_o must_v be_v upon_o extraordinary_a occasion_n yet_o both_o be_v sweet_a and_o profitable_a and_o precious_a for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o soul_n therefore_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o

object_n wicked_a no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a there_o be_v one_o objection_n more_o and_o so_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o use_v some_o body_n may_v say_v out_o of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a say_v my_o god_n isa_n 57_o ult_n and_o isa_n 48.12_o the_o wicked_a be_v like_o the_o trouble_a sea_n when_o it_o can_v rest_v who_o water_n cast_v out_o mire_n and_o dirt_n the_o prophet_n seem_v to_o comfort_v the_o godly_a but_o wicked_a man_n have_v no_o peace_n then_o a_o man_n may_v say_v how_o do_v this_o stand_n with_o your_o doctrine_n you_o say_v that_o the_o gospel_n hold_v forth_o peace_n and_o glad_a tiding_n and_o good_a news_n to_o wicked_a man_n even_o to_o the_o worst_a of_o sinner_n ans_fw-fr gospel_n three_o way_n 1._o it_o be_v rather_o law_n than_o gospel_n the_o be_v three_o way_n to_o answer_v it_o in_o few_o word_n the_o first_o be_v that_o however_o isaiah_n be_v in_o a_o sort_n a_fw-fr evangelicall_n prophet_n and_o speak_v many_o thing_n of_o gospel_n by_o way_n of_o prophecy_n he_o see_v thing_n for_o we_o and_o not_o for_o himself_o as_o peter_n say_v yet_o these_o kind_n of_o expression_n be_v more_o proper_o law_n than_o gospel_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a there_o be_v no_o other_o language_n in_o the_o law_n but_o that_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a transgress_v once_o and_o be_v damn_v for_o ever_o but_o the_o language_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v contrary_a it_o come_v and_o give_v peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a and_o justifi_v the_o ungodly_a he_o preach_v peace_n to_o they_o that_o be_v near_o and_o to_o they_o that_o be_v affar_n off_o and_o who_o be_v they_o the_o gentile_n that_o be_v emphatical_o sinner_n be_v we_o not_o jew_n say_v the_o apostle_n and_o not_o sinner_n of_o the_o gentile_n therefore_o this_o be_v rather_o law_n than_o gospel_n sinner_n 2._o god_n will_v not_o make_v peace_n with_o sin_n though_o he_o do_v with_o sinner_n second_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a or_o to_o sinner_n say_v my_o god_n you_o may_v understand_v it_o also_o in_o this_o sense_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o make_v any_o peace_n with_o sin_n though_o he_o send_v message_n of_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n to_o sinner_n though_o god_n be_v reconcile_v to_o a_o sinner_n he_o will_v never_o be_v reconcile_v to_o sin_n gospel_n 3._o no_o peace_n to_o man_n that_o continue_v in_o sin_n under_o the_o gospel_n but_o the_o three_o and_o last_o and_o most_o proper_a as_o i_o take_v it_o be_v this_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a say_v my_o god_n that_o be_v there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o man_n that_o continue_v in_o sin_n after_o jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v offer_v they_o and_o they_o have_v refuse_v he_o than_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o they_o observe_v for_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o great_a concernment_n it_o become_v not_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o any_o mean_n to_o pronounce_v wrath_n and_o curse_v or_o damnation_n to_o a_o sinner_n qua_fw-la a_o sinner_n as_o a_o sinner_n he_o be_v not_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n if_o he_o do_v he_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o old_a

judgement_n and_o curse_n and_o damnation_n to_o they_o when_o once_o we_o have_v first_o offer_v christ_n and_o they_o refuse_v he_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n and_o no_o other_o according_a to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n i_o be_o to_o pronounce_v damnation_n and_o curse_v to_o wicked_a man_n because_o they_o refuse_v jesus_n christ_n because_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n you_o will_v say_v quest_n be_v it_o absolute_o evil_a for_o a_o minister_n to_o speak_v against_o drunkard_n and_o swearer_n and_o whoremonger_n and_o to_o say_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n will_v fall_v on_o they_o etc._n etc._n ans_fw-fr unbelief_n continuance_n in_o sin_n a_o sign_n of_o unbelief_n no_o why_o because_o i_o speak_v against_o a_o drunkard_n not_o proper_o because_o he_o be_v a_o drunkard_n but_o his_o drunkeness_n be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o continue_v in_o unbelief_n and_o so_o have_v not_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n so_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o scripture_n there_o be_v a_o drunkard_n a_o sot_n a_o jear_a of_o godliness_n i_o say_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n will_v come_v upon_o he_o and_o the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n be_v ready_a to_o
