JƲdg not, saith the A∣postle, that ye be not judged, for with what measure you meet it shall be measured to you again; and what you would that men should do unto you, even so do ye unto them, for this is the Law and the Prophets; but Christ and the Apostles go further, and would have us do far better to others then they do to us, give them good for evil, knowing
this: now J cannot but perswade my loving Reader to lay aside all malice, wrath, envy, guil and hypocrisie, and in love, meek∣ness, patience and much good∣ness read and consider, trying the spirits, whether they be of God or not: And thus J shall say with thee, if there be any thing, as questionless there is, of flesh, darkness, or the spirit of this world, that all of it may come into Judgment by the Spi∣rit of the Lord, and consume them like stubble here and with∣in me: Thus desiring the Lord to give thee understanding to
take the good, and refuse the e∣vil in this, and all things else; For his good, and thy glory, I Rest,
Thy Friend, T. Butler.
