it_o be_v true_a in_o this_o spiritual_a voyage_n that_o the_o lord_n lead_v his_o choose_a by_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o minister_n by_o they_o he_o 4.12_o he_o ephes_n 4.12_o gather_v together_o

second_o that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o only_a true_a guide_n three_o that_o he_o have_v register_v all_o his_o direction_n in_o his_o word_n that_o be_v the_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n &_o that_o for_o the_o dispense_n of_o his_o word_n notwithstanding_o the_o private_a use_n which_o every_o christian_a may_v &_o aught_o to_o have_v of_o it_o he_o have_v ordain_v public_a teach_n by_o which_o to_o guide_v our_o foot_n into_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n he_o that_o be_v dispose_v to_o be_v captious_a let_v he_o think_v well_o which_o of_o all_o these_o he_o can_v except_v against_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o will_v take_v they_o for_o truth_n and_o so_o make_v the_o best_a use_n of_o they_o this_o show_v that_o albeit_o the_o most_o of_o we_o at_o this_o day_n that_o

by_o the_o guise_n of_o the_o time_n some_o go_v with_o the_o drove_n and_o be_v carry_v with_o the_o multitude_n some_o be_v lead_v only_o by_o the_o course_n of_o their_o forefather_n they_o hold_v

believe_v the_o doctor_n in_o the_o law_n our_o counsellor_n in_o other_o thing_n we_o seek_v to_o man_n that_o profess_v knowledge_n and_o be_v of_o understanding_n in_o those_o thing_n wherein_o

it_o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n word_n be_v not_o care_v for_o the_o open_n of_o it_o by_o exposition_n the_o urge_v it_o by_o exhortatation_n and_o reproof_n these_o thing_n be_v little_o

17.5_o the_o jerem._n 17.5_o scripture_n that_o make_v flesh_n his_o arm_n and_o withdraw_v his_o heart_n from_o the_o lord_n god_n curse_v the_o fancy_n of_o man_n own_o heart_n and_o give_v a_o

perhaps_o this_o be_v a_o very_a uncertain_a and_o hazardous_a course_n to_o bind_v ourselves_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o man_n especial_o now_o a_o day_n when_o as_o the_o world_n be_v so_o full_a of_o
