that

haue

,
as

haue
made
much
discourse
of

so
amongst
them
,
such
are
most
to
be
preferred
that
rather
perswade
vs
by
apparant
proues
of
an
imediat
end
,
than
those
which
by
palpable
meanes
,
would
prolong
the
time
by
prolixious
arguments

the
one
doth
put

:
the
other
doth
feede
vs

a
vaine
delusion

as
an
occasion
to
make
vs
followe
that
confused

that
doth
dehort

drawe

this

flatter

in

mooue

To

I
pray

it

notwithstanding

when

and
no
meruaile

see

growe

;
the

You
shall

growe

while
ye
go

that

concerning
the
sufferance
of
such

Truelie
such
is
the
good
pitie
of
our

that
where
heretofore
some
haue
burned
such
as
were
godlie
,
for

&c.
,
considering
he
is
both
miraculous
and
mercifull
in
his
calling
,
who
although
he
leaueth
the
wicked
to
their
owne

a

,
he
eftsoone
doth
conuert
them

The
companie
of
the
good
and
bad
together
,
as
it
is
common
,
so
I
must
needes
confesse
it
is
dangerous
:
and
as
supersticious
errors
,
heresies
,
and
such
like
,
are
vtterlie
to
bee
condemned
;
so
in
some
sort
they
are
to
bee
admitted
,
as
may
appeare
by
that
saying
of
S.
Paule
to
the
Corinthians
:
There
must
be
heresies
(
saith
he
)
amongst
you
,
that
they
which
are
approued
among
you
might
bee
knowne
[

Not
that
heresies
and
errors
are
to
bee
allowed
or
followed
;
but
that
by
them
the
infallible
trueth
may
the
better
be
discerned
,

;
yet
he
doth
it
not
to
that
end
we
should
incline
to
euil
,
or
that
he
himselfe
is
ignorant
of
the
issue
;
but
that
he
would
haue
it
appeare
to
vs
,
he
hath
appoynted
them
as
his

But
to
the
purpose
,
as

if
neither

of

reclaime

,
the

stirre
them

the

nor
the

no

all

for

As
for

of

amongst
the
Corinthians
[

truelie
it
is
to
no
purpose
to
proue
the
opinion
you
hold
:
for
the
same
Apostle
(
foreseeing
the
great
preiudice
might
come
by
such
infectious
members
)
willed
Titus
to
reiect
him
that
is
an
heretike
,
after
once
or
twise
admonition
:
knowing
that
he
that
is
such
,
is
peruerted
,

sinneth

And
what
should
moue
anie
to
maintaine
or
meddle
with
such
,
seeing
their
properties
(
described
by
an
ancient
father
)
are
so
pestiferous
;
they
are
subtill

And
as
for

seeing
it
is
nothing
materiall
to

I
will
(
for
breuitie

)
omit
to
answere
it
:
So
that
all
things
being
seriouslie
considered
(
according
to
my
former
assertion

I
can
see
no
cause
why
such
(
as

should
be

If
you
bee

you
harpe
all
vppon

which
although
it
please
your selfe

it
yeeldes
no

what
should
wee
so
singularlie

of

seeing
(
as

in

things
we
sinne

Or
what
should
we
so
stricktlie
deale
with
others
that
cannot
doo

considering
when
we
haue
all
done
what
wee

we

What
mooued
our
Sauiour
Christ
to
say
,
I
was
an
hungred
,
and
ye
gaue
me
no
meate
:
I
was
astranger
,
and
ye
tooke
me
not
in
:
I
was
naked
,
and
ye
clothed
me
not
:
sicke
,
and
in
prison
,
and
ye
visited
me
not
,
&c.
Verelie
I
say
vnto
you
,
in
as
much
as
ye
did
it
not
to
one
of
the
least
of
these
,
ye
did
it
not

depart
from

ye
cursed
into
euerlasling
fire

Surelie
not
that
wee
should
presume
our
saluation
depends
vpon
works
or
merites
;
but
that
we
should
learne
to
liue
within
the
compasse
of
charitie
,
and
not
so
lightly
to
accompt
of
hospitalitie
.
It
was
this
that
made
Iob
in
his
innocencie
to
burst
foorth
and
say
;
If
I
haue
restrained
the
poore

We

make
bounteous

for

betters
;
sumptuous
feastes
for
their

;
costlie
cheere
for
their
kindred
,
and
yet
will
scarse
afford
a
little
bread
or

to

poore

When
thou
makest
a

(
saith
hee
)
call
the
poore
,
the
maimed
,
the
lame
,
and

Whatsoeuer

perceiue

seeing

I

proceed

it
were

and
therefore
I

Alph.
I
could
inferre

that
which

may
perswade

to
beleeue

you
bee

free
passage

haue
had

wee
haue
enioyed

haue
reaped

where
in

And
therefore
,

are

cannot

sigh
to

I

true

for
now
I
am
fullie
resolued
the
world
was
neuer
worse
,
especiallie
with
vs

who
haue
greatlie
abused
the
benefite
of
Gods
word
,
considering
the
innumerable
sinnes
that
raigne
so
rife

sorts

Alph.
Then
,
seeing
we
are
a
people
as
wicked

as
they
of
Sodome
and
Gomorha
,
and
it
is
a
season
as
sinfull
,
as
it
was
in
the
time
of
Noah
,
wee
must
not
thinke
(
as
the
Apostle
Peter
saith
)
the
Lord
will
spare
vs

more
than

No
doubt
if
we
do
not
presentlie
repent
we
shall
so
prouoke
the
Lord
,
that
in
stead
of
peace
he
will
procure
vs

cause
him

Nay

more

if

still
abuse

let

;
that

We
haue
not
said
anie
thing
but
that
is
tollerable
by
the
word
of
GOD
,
and
profitable
to
manie
,
especiallie
to
the
well
disposed
,
who
will
allowe
it
,
though
the
froward
mislike
it
.
As
we
haue
touched
the
Papists
in
friendly
manner
,
so
we
haue
not
ouerslipped
our selues
in
flattering
sort
:
for
both
,
nay
all
of
vs
are
euill
inclined
,
and
therefore
none
of
vs
but
may
bee
admonished
,
yea
and
the
best
of
vs
amended
.
We
haue
not
busied
our selues
(
as
some
do
of
late
setting
forth
)
in
presuming
to
meddle
in
manie
matters
that
are
vnmeete
(
who
thinking
to
get
credite
by
shewing
a
great
glose
by
their
curious
arte
,
doo
nothing
els
but
reape
reproach
by
their
presumptuous
attempts
,
whose
grace
is
altogether
in
disgracing
others
)
;
but
wee
haue
conferred
of
such
matter
as
concernes
the
necessitie
of
the
time
,
the
beating
downe
of
sinne
,
and
the
aduancing
of
Gods
glorie
.
And
therefore
least
wee
bee
counted
to
occupie
our selues
(
as
they
did
)
more
busilie
than
wiselie
,
wee
will
here
abruptlie
end
till
our
next
meeting
,
and
then
as
occasion
shal
be
ministred
,
we
wil
vse
further
conference
.
In
the
meane
time
I
thank
you
for
your
companie

commit
you
to

Almightie
