The Lord hath set us our bounds, that we should in no wise offer others 1that measure, which we are unwilling should be offered to us again, which rule, though I am persuaded that Preachers may tear their tongues to the stumps, before they shall bring many to be guided by, yet some (I hope) will submit themselves unto it. But in all dealings, there are so many ways found out to uphold mens estates, or to augment them, and the greatest pretence is for their children, that they will hear nothing, if it be spoken to persuade to equity, and innocency which make the practisers thereof bold as a Lion, 2and to the trying of their doings, whither they be good or no.
The Lord hath set vs our bounds, that wee should in no wise offer others 1that measure, which we are vnwilling should be offered to vs againe, which rule, though I am perswaded that Preachers may teare their tongues to the stumpes, before they shall bring many to be guided by, yet some (I hope) wil submit themselues vnto it. But in all dealings, there are so many waies found out to vphold mens estates, or to augment them, and the greatest pretence is for their children, that they will heare nothing, if it be spoken to perswade to equitie, and innocency which make the practisers thereof bold as a Lion, 2and to the trying of their doings, whither they be good or no.
