I

I
had force thoughts

of
the
vaine pleas
that
many
have for
their
paillon
and
frowardnefs,
but
I
confider for
that,
if
God
gives life
and
liberty,
in
going
on
in
the
handling of
this Sermon
of Chrill,
I
"hall
meet
with
that
again
in
the 22.
v.
of this Chap:
I
fay
unto
you,
whofoever
is
angry
with his
bro-
ther
without
a
caufe "hall
be
in danger
of thejudgement.
There-
fore
I leave thefe
thins
to
that place
:
But
now this one
thing
only
in
this
ufe of
reprehenfion,
and
that
is
to
labour
to
thew
thofe that profeife tbemfelves
Saints,
that
frowardnefs,
want
of meeknefs,
it
is
that that
is
as
much contrary
to
true
grace,
as alsnoff any
corruption that
can
be
named,
which
it
may
be they
little
thinke
of,
they
think
they
have angry and
paflionate
natures, they
are fomewhar hafly, but
they are
deli-
vered
from
other corruptions
thac
men do
wallow
in:know
that
a hafly
froward
fpirit
a
f
irit
that
is
not commanded
by this
grace
of
meeknefs,
fo
farre
as
it
prevailes
it
is
as
contrary
unto
true
grace almoll
as
any
thing
you
can think
of,
and
truly
there
may be
a
great deal ofiuspition whither there be true
grace
or
no in thofe
that
have
not
in
force meafure this
meeknfs
prevailing
in
them, but rather
paflion and frowardneffe, As
thus
Frowardnefs
and anger
is
contrary
to
true grace;
for
what is
it that
g ace
doth
in
the heart
when
it
firfl comes?
The
ñrfl
thing
is
to
fhew unto
the
foule
it's
owne vilenefs,
it's
owri
wretchednefs
and bafenefs by fin, and
the
danger that it's in
through
