by_o will_v slight_v it_o although_o the_o instrument_n from_o who_o it_o come_v be_v of_o little_a esteem_n in_o the_o world_n but_o rather_o to_o accept_v of_o it_o and_o give_v glory_n to_o he_o that_o have_v give_v such_o wisdom_n to_o poor_a creature_n and_o whereas_o he_o have_v enlarge_v himself_o upon_o many_o thing_n as_o faith_n and_o fear_v and_o the_o like_a we_o shall_v say_v little_a to_o it_o the_o scripture_n be_v proof_n sufficient_a and_o therefore_o it_o need_v none_o to_o speak_v for_o it_o much_o less_o such_o as_o we_o be_v but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v
