already_o that_o that_o way_n ought_v too_o be_v obsern_v for_o there_o be_v two_o evil_a extremity_n but_o look_v whatsoever_o god_n have_v ordain_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o will_v always_o be_v find_v too_o be_v for_o every_o man_n welfare_n the_o one_o of_o these_o evil_a custom_n be_v that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v well_o take_v with_o the_o world_n except_o he_o flatter_v who_o so_o intend_v to_o maintain_v himself_o must_v play_v the_o blinkard_n and_o shut_v his_o eye_n when_o he_o see_v a_o number_n of_o thing_n in_o his_o friend_n worthy_a of_o blame_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o be_v not_o such_o silence_n a_o secret_a betray_n for_o we_o see_v that_o they_o who_o we_o pretend_v to_o love_v be_v in_o the_o high_a way_n to_o destruction_n and_o whole_o harden_v in_o their_o naughtiness_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o whereas_o we_o ought_v to_o waken_v they_o or_o else_o too_o set_v a_o look_a glass_n before_o they_o that_o they_o may_v behold_v their_o lewdness_n and_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o we_o wink_v at_o it_o in_o stead_n of_o so_o do_v every_o of_o we_o do_v coke_n other_n and_o cloak_v the_o thing_n that_o ought_v too_o be_v sharp_o rebuke_v insomuch_o that_o those_o flattery_n be_v no_o better_o but_o plaster_n too_o ease_v the_o sore_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n to_o feed_v the_o root_n of_o it_o within_o the_o other_o evil_a extremity_n be_v when_o we_o be_v so_o rigorous_a that_o every_o little_a fault_n be_v enough_o too_o make_v we_o too_o storm_n sith_o it_o be_v so_o we_o shall_v never_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n aforesaid_a if_o we_o be_v not_o guide_v and_o govern_v by_o god_n spirit_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o hereby_o a_o man_n may_v see_v and_o judge_v that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a pride_n lurk_v within_o we_o wherethrough_o we_o take_v to_o much_o upon_o ourselves_o to_o be_v short_a there_o be_v never_o any_o over_o great_a rigour_n without_o cruelty_n nor_o cruelty_n without_o pride_n whosoever_o dispyze_v his_o neighbour_n set_v to_o much_o by_o himself_o &_o he_o that_o can_v bear_v with_o nothing_o but_o be_v so_o terrible_o stern_a that_o all_o sin_n be_v in_o his_o opinion_n unpardonable_a show_v also_o that_o there_o be_v no_o manhood_n or_o humanity_n in_o he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n to_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o which_o s._n paul_n show_v we_o here_o which_o be_v too_o forgive_v and_o forbear_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v allow_v man_n vice_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o nor_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v leave_n too_o do_v evil_a without_o rebuke_v but_o that_o we_o shall_v patient_o rebuke_v man_n fault_n and_o be_v sorry_a for_o they_o and_o in_o so_o do_v of_o our_o duty_n not_o forget_v also_o to_o bear_v with_o the_o frailty_n and_o weakness_n of_o our_o neighbour_n so_o as_o we_o shame_v they_o not_o ne_o strike_v they_o into_o such_o heaviness_n that_o they_o fall_v into_o despair_n when_o they_o see_v there_o be_v no_o forbear_n nor_o any_o forgive_n at_o our_o hand_n that_o then_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o it_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o s._n paul_n add_v that_o man_n shall_v bear_v one_o with_o another_o in_o charity_n or_o love_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v brother_n together_o there_o shall_v need_v none_o other_o rule_n than_o that_o too_o make_v we_o as_o well_o kind_a heart_a as_o also_o patient_a and_o low_o and_o for_o proof_n thereof_o he_o say_v in_o the_o thirteen_o of_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n 4._o that_o charity_n have_v these_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o it_o be_v gentle_a and_o kind_a heart_a second_o that_o it_o move_v we_o too_o be_v low_o and_o meek_a and_o three_o that_o it_o be_v patient_a and_o suffer_v all_o thing_n those_o be_v three_o quality_n which_o paul_n attribute_v unto_o lovingness_n for_o if_o we_o demand_v what_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o holy_a life_n 14._o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o love_n be_v the_o full_a performance_n thereof_o 5._o because_o it_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o perfection_n and_o the_o end_n and_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n lo_o how_o these_o text_n do_v teach_v we_o charity_n again_o our_o lord_n also_o intend_v too_o conclude_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n 39_o set_v down_o these_o two_o point_n namely_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n with_o all_o our_o mind_n and_o with_o all_o our_o power_n and_o strength_n and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o then_o if_o we_o think_v too_o be_v allow_v of_o god_n and_o charity_n reign_v not_o in_o we_o we_o deceive_v ourselves_o the_o world_n may_v like_v well_o of_o we_o but_o all_o our_o whole_a life_n shall_v be_v utter_o loathsome_a before_o god_n until_o charity_n be_v settle_v in_o our_o heart_n so_o as_o she_o govern_v we_o and_o we_o tend_v always_o unto_o she_o yea_o and_o work_v all_o our_o work_v by_o she_o now_o then_o see_v that_o love_n be_v the_o true_a perfection_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o of_o all_o god_n child_n let_v we_o see_v what_o it_o import_v for_o if_o a_o man_n brag_v that_o he_o have_v it_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n have_v neither_o lowliness_n nor_o gentleness_n nor_o patience_n he_o make_v the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o liar_n who_o not_o without_o cause_n show_v what_o be_v betoken_a by_o charity_n or_o love_n for_o he_o have_v not_o set_v down_o the_o bare_a word_n and_o only_o say_v be_v you_o charitable_a but_o he_o have_v also_o show_v we_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o namely_o first_o of_o all_o that_o we_o must_v beat_v down_o this_o pride_n which_o beguile_v we_o and_o make_v we_o doss_n with_o our_o horn_n against_o god_n insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v right_o hard_a for_o we_o too_o be_v low_o mind_v towards_o man_n when_o we_o can_v hold_v ourselves_o meek_o in_o obedience_n under_o god_n now_o then_o let_v we_o fight_v in_o such_o wise_n as_o all_o pride_n may_v be_v correct_v in_o we_o and_o therewithal_o enforce_v ourselves_o always_o too_o humility_n that_o we_o may_v be_v kind_a heart_a and_o fellowlyke_a with_o the_o faithful_a which_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o bear_v one_o with_o another_o the_o very_a heathen_a man_n have_v the_o skill_n too_o say_v that_o if_o we_o have_v the_o wit_n and_o discretion_n too_o see_v the_o vice_n that_o be_v in_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v be_v patient_a towards_o other_o for_o why_o i_o have_v need_n too_o be_v bear_v withal_o myself_o and_o if_o i_o do_v not_o the_o like_a too_o other_o folk_n how_o partial_o do_v i_o deal_v this_o consideration_n alone_o ought_v too_o tame_v we_o sufficient_o though_o there_o be_v neither_o law_n nor_o gospel_n wherefore_o in_o asmuch_o as_o we_o know_v that_o charity_n import_v these_o three_o thing_n let_v we_o learn_v too_o be_v patient_a not_o only_a when_o any_o wrong_n be_v do_v we_o but_o also_o when_o we_o see_v our_o neighbour_n too_o be_v weak_a and_o feeble_a and_o not_o yet_o come_v too_o such_o perfection_n as_o be_v requisite_a and_o though_o they_o be_v not_o so_o well_o forward_o and_o settle_v in_o god_n word_n as_o we_o will_v wish_v yet_o let_v we_o pity_v they_o and_o with_o all_o meekness_n endeavour_n too_o use_v such_o correction_n towards_o they_o as_o neither_o their_o vice_n may_v be_v nourish_v nor_o the_o party_n themselves_o be_v cast_v in_o despair_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o that_o strain_v now_o heeruppon_o saint_n paul_n infer_v further_a that_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n for_o he_o set_v here_o the_o unity_n of_o spirit_n as_o a_o mark_n that_o be_v requisite_n in_o the_o church_n and_o flock_n of_o god_n insomuch_o that_o if_o we_o be_v at_o odds_n among_o ourselves_o we_o be_v at_o odds_n with_o god_n and_o therewithal_o he_o show_v we_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v see_v brief_o before_o which_o be_v that_o if_o we_o be_v not_o at_o one_o among_o ourselves_o god_n disclaim_v we_o and_o tell_v we_o we_o belong_v not_o unto_o he_o this_o unity_n therefore_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o ought_v too_o be_v much_o set_v by_o now_o adays_o see_v it_o be_v the_o mean_a in_o respect_n whereof_o we_o be_v acknowledge_v for_o god_n child_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o unbeliever_n have_v their_o confederacy_n and_o be_v so_o link_v one_o too_o another_o as_o there_o be_v not_o a_o straight_a alliance_n too_o be_v find_v in_o the_o world_n for_o even_o their_o evil_a do_n do_v bind_v they_o one_o too_o another_o as_o
care_n that_o every_o of_o we_o have_v have_v of_o himself_o in_o that_o we_o have_v be_v mindful_a of_o our_o own_o welfare_n and_o labour_v earnest_o for_o it_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n break_v the_o bond_n that_o our_o lord_n have_v set_v among_o we_o and_o every_o of_o we_o draw_v alone_o by_o himself_o and_o forget_v all_o duty_n of_o love_a kindness_n insomuch_o that_o we_o will_v if_o we_o have_v can_v have_v make_v every_o of_o we_o a_o new_a world_n true_o there_o be_v no_o man_n of_o that_o ability_n that_o he_o can_v forbear_v the_o help_n of_o his_o neighbour_n and_o yet_o be_v we_o loath_a that_o our_o neighbour_n shall_v dwell_v with_o we_o yea_o or_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v count_v in_o the_o number_n of_o man_n there_o be_v not_o that_o man_n which_o will_v not_o reign_v alone_o like_o a_o lord_n but_o this_o unkindness_n and_o lewdness_n be_v sufficient_a too_o show_v that_o we_o be_v not_o worthy_a too_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n which_o god_n deal_v too_o we_o in_o this_o transitory_a life_n for_o sith_o we_o be_v too_o much_o wed_v unto_o it_o and_o mind_n it_o more_o careful_o than_o we_o shall_v do_v we_o be_v so_o guilty_a as_o there_o be_v not_o that_o man_n which_o may_v open_v his_o mouth_n too_o reply_n or_o too_o allege_v any_o excuse_n for_o himself_o and_o saint_n paul_n have_v tell_v we_o what_o we_o ought_v too_o know_v yea_o and_o too_o judge_v of_o our_o own_o nature_n return_v again_o too_o that_o which_o he_o have_v touch_v afore_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o such_o as_o profess_v themselves_o too_o be_v member_n of_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n aught_o to_o be_v persuade_v by_o his_o example_n too_o live_v quiet_o friendly_o and_o agree_o with_o their_o wife_n no_o man_n say_v he_o love_v himself_o but_o he_o love_v his_o wife_n also_o uere_o god_n have_v ordain_v wedlock_n in_o such_o wise_n as_o the_o wife_n must_v be_v as_o the_o body_n of_o her_o husband_n therefore_o if_o a_o man_n love_v himself_o his_o wife_n must_v be_v match_v with_o he_o or_o else_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o monstruous_a love_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o man_n ought_v most_v too_o abhor_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v most_o holy_a in_o man_n life_n shall_v be_v utter_o abse_z see_v it_o be_v so_o he_o that_o love_v himself_o will_v love_v his_o wife_n for_o we_o be_v of_o his_o

be_v in_o allege_v that_o he_o spare_v not_o himself_o but_o do_v shed_v his_o blood_n to_o wash_v we_o from_o our_o filthiness_n and_o uncleanness_n we_o than_o be_v defile_v &_o stain_v before_o

too_o confirm_v the_o matter_n yet_o better_a which_o be_v that_o we_o be_v bone_n of_o his_o bone_n and_o flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n in_o so_o say_v he_o do_v we_o too_o understand_v that_o when_o man_n do_v their_o duty_n it_o be_v too_o their_o own_o benefit_n for_o thereby_o they_o may_v taste_v the_o inestimable_a and_o infinite_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o that_o every_o man_n accord_v too_o his_o degree_n do_v in_o his_o marriage_n represent_v the_o union_n that_o be_v between_o themselves_o and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n the_o thing_n therefore_o which_o saint_n paul_n intend_v be_v yet_o again_o to_o remove_v the_o hardness_n of_o our_o heart_n by_o show_v we_o that_o we_o can_v enjoy_v the_o grace_n that_o be_v purchase_v we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n unless_o

all_o the_o love_n that_o we_o can_v have_v one_o too_o another_o howbeit_o before_o we_o go_v any_o further_a let_v we_o see_v why_o and_o in_o what_o sense_n saint_n paul_n say_v that_o we_o be_v of_o the_o bone_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o his_o flesh_n and_o member_n of_o his_o body_n for_o he_o be_v descend_v of_o adam_n lineage_n 3._o and_o be_v call_v the_o seed_n of_o

he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n too_o show_v that_o he_o have_v take_v a_o nature_n that_o be_v common_a too_o we_o wherein_o he_o have_v make_v himself_o familiar_a with_o us._n 14._o and_o in_o deed_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o epistle_n too_o the_o hebrew_n he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a too_o call_v we_o brother_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v too_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o it_o seem_v that_o saint_n paul_n will_v make_v jesus_n christ_n as_o it_o be_v the_o root_n of_o mankind_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v descend_v of_o he_o for_o he_o call_v we_o his_o offspring_n but_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n that_o for_o asmuch_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v shape_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n too_o perform_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v promise_v yea_o and_o that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v the_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o we_o except_o he_o have_v be_v of_o our_o nature_n for_o he_o can_v not_o have_v amend_v our_o misdo_n wherethrough_o

of_o all_o man_n and_o so_o it_o behove_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n too_o be_v our_o flesh_n in_o our_o body_n we_o may_v say_v that_o he_o be_v of_o our_o bone_n and_o of_o our_o flesh_n and_o why_o he_o be_v descend_v of_o adam_n race_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o but_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v he_o be_v conceive_v marvellous_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n howbeit_o there_o be_v another_o respect_n for_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o he_o cease_v not_o too_o be_v the_o second_o adam_n 22._o as_o saint_n paul_n term_v he_o in_o make_v comparison_n between_o the_o grace_n wherethrough_o we_o be_v set_v again_o and_o the_o deadly_a fall_n wherethrough_o we_o be_v all_o forlorn_a he_o say_v that_o the_o first_o adam_n do_v by_o his_o transgression_n make_v we_o enemy_n too_o god_n so_o as_o we_o have_v no_o access_n to_o he_o but_o shall_v be_v thrust_v back_o if_o we_o preace_z to_o he_o and_o that_o just_o for_o where_o sin_n reign_v there_o must_v needs_o be_v as_o it_o be_v unrecoucylable_a division_n god_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o righteousness_n can_v match_v with_o our_o iniquity_n and_o corruption_n then_o be_v there_o also_o a_o second_o adam_n which_o

shall_v be_v so_o bold_a as_o too_o think_v too_o press_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n as_o though_o we_o be_v link_v too_o he_o of_o our_o own_o nature_n but_o that_o be_v do_v in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n &_o not_o in_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o body_n behold_v then_o jesus_n christ_n be_v become_v very_a man_n and_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o selfsame_o humane_a nature_n that_o we_o be_v but_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o of_o nature_n that_o we_o be_v his_o flesh_n and_o his_o bone_n for_o we_o be_v not_o descend_v of_o he_o as_o touch_v our_o own_o substance_n but_o it_o

of_o god_n what_o power_n he_o have_v and_o what_o treasure_n he_o utter_v towards_o we_o then_o we_o have_v the_o true_a understanding_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o without_o jesus_n christ_n we_o

and_o think_v that_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o baptism_n be_v inclose_v in_o those_o word_n it_o be_v a_o abuse_n and_o true_o it_o can_v not_o serve_v we_o but_o for_o a_o charm_n and_o

will_v not_o otherwise_o agree_v but_o here_o by_o the_o way_n a_o man_n may_v ask_v a_o question_n for_o saint_n paul_n pray_v not_o god_n too_o give_v faith_n too_o the_o faithless_a and_o charity_n

not_o so_o shroud_v ourselves_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o peace_n as_o too_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o god_n that_o in_o the_o end_n we_o make_v war_n against_o he_o and_o he_o proclaim_v we_o too_o be_v his_o enemy_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o must_v be_v at_o continual_a battle_n with_o the_o wicked_a for_o in_o asmuch_o as_o they_o serve_v satan_n they_o

than_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o now_o than_o if_o we_o knit_v together_o in_o god_n let_v we_o follow_v the_o rule_n that_o be_v give_v we_o here_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n too_o be_v so_o abse_z in_o

of_o through_o sharpness_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v too_o the_o word_n that_o be_v couch_v here_o by_o s._n paul_n he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v one_o body_n and_o one_o spirit_n as_o we_o be_v

among_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o primitive_a church_n 32._o so_o must_v the_o same_o appear_v among_o we_o too_o at_o this_o day_n saint_n paul_n then_o in_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v one_o

end_n too_o draw_v we_o the_o more_o too_o the_o say_a affection_n of_o live_v together_o in_o concord_n and_o brotherly_a love_n even_o with_o such_o atonement_n as_o we_o may_v be_v brethren_n that_o be_v to_o say_v so_o knit_v together_o as_o the_o finger_n of_o a_o hand_n for_o without_o that_o we_o can_v never_o show_v that_o we_o be_v desirous_a too_o attain_v too_o the_o kingdom_n of_o

or_o call_n too_o be_v short_a we_o must_v be_v but_o all_o as_o one_o as_o shall_v be_v declare_v anon_o more_o at_o length_n forasmuch_o then_o as_o there_o be_v none_o other_o too_o govern_v we_o but_o jesus_n christ_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v make_v all_o as_o one_o man_n in_o he_o and_o sooth_o we_o know_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v say_v of_o adam_n and_o eve_n and_o of_o all_o

too_o stir_v we_o up_o the_o better_a heruntoo_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v call_v unto_o a_o inheritance_n in_o say_v so_o he_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o much_o holy_a atonement_n between_o

all_o call_v too_o one_o self-same_a inheritance_n if_o any_o of_o we_o shrink_v aside_o from_o his_o brethren_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o give_v over_o his_o part_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o we_o will_v abhor_v such_o a_o blasphemy_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v demand_v of_o any_o of_o we_o whether_o he_o will_v renounce_v his_o part_n of_o paradise_n it_o will_v make_v

be_v this_o thorough_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n sure_o there_o will_v be_v another_o manner_n of_o friendship_n and_o brotherliness_n among_o we_o than_o there_o be_v and_o man_n shall_v see_v
