these_o spoil_n the_o heart_n and_o these_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o man_n can_v forsake_v their_o own_o thought_n epiphanius_n speak_v of_o a_o figtree_n which_o grow_v in_o a_o wall_n etc._n etc._n bad_a thought_n will_v be_v always_o seize_v on_o a_o man_n till_o he_o die_v and_o then_o all_o his_o thought_n perish_v but_o so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n be_v alive_a in_o old_a adam_n these_o

for_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o best_a way_n for_o a_o man_n to_o try_v his_o estate_n by_o even_o to_o examine_v his_o thought_n if_o a_o man_n will_v see_v whether_o the_o sea_n be_v salt_n he_o need_v not_o drink_v all_o the_o water_n that_o be_v in_o it_o one_o drop_n will_v serve_v his_o turn_n so_o a_o man_n may_v see_v whether_o he_o be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n or_o of_o the_o devil_n even_o by_o his_o thought_n i_o will_v make_v it_o appear_v by_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o man_n thought_n be_v the_o free_a act_n of_o their_o heart_n many_o time_n you_o speak_v not_o as_o you_o will_v you_o do_v not_o as_o you_o will_v but_o a_o man_n think_v always_o as_o he_o will_n favour_n of_o great_a man_n and_o desire_v to_o please_v they_o make_v man_n do_v many_o time_n what_o they_o will_v not_o but_o thought_n be_v free_a i_o may_v say_v so_o and_o so_o but_o i_o will_v think_v what_o ilist_n ergo_fw-la if_o thou_o will_v judge_v a_o man_n judge_v he_o by_o that_o he_o

ergo_fw-la in_o they_o thy_o heart_n show_v itself_o whether_o it_o be_v carnal_a or_o spiritual_a when_o peter_n deny_v his_o master_n can_v a_o man_n have_v judge_v he_o by_o that_o than_o he_o
