by_o which_o the_o lord_n be_v see_v first_o that_o we_o have_v another_o light_n beside_o the_o light_n of_o our_o own_o understanding_n for_o sicut_fw-la sol_fw-la sine_fw-la understanding_n

of_o darkness_n and_o become_v vain_a in_o their_o own_o imagination_n the_o second_o thing_n require_v be_v that_o we_o have_v holiness_n some_o conformity_n with_o god_n in_o holiness_n for_o as_o

be_v attention_n for_o even_o consideration_n as_o a_o tumble_a and_o roll_a eye_n see_v not_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v before_o it_o so_o a_o wander_a mind_n not_o establish_v by_o

own_o gross_a and_o carnal_a affection_n stop_v the_o conduit_n of_o our_o sight_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o see_v the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o shall_v careful_o be_v eschew_v if_o the_o eye_n be_v once_o offend_v with_o the_o small_a mote_n we_o delay_v not_o to_o remedy_v it_o but_o do_v implore_v delay_n the_o help_n of_o such_o as_o be_v near_o we_o to_o take_v it_o out_o since_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v so_o careful_a to_o keep_v the_o eye_n by_o which_o we_o see_v the_o sun_n how_o careful_a shall_v we_o be_v to_o conserve_v the_o eye_n by_o which_o we_o see_v he_o who_o make_v the_o sun_n the_o three_o sense_n restore_v in_o the_o regeneration_n smell_a be_v smell_a all_o the_o garment_n of_o our_o bridegroom_n smell_v of_o myrrh_n

therefore_o as_o the_o eagle_n smell_v the_o carrion_n a_o far_o off_o resort_v unto_o it_o so_o the_o christian_a scent_v lively_a in_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n jesus_n slee_v speedy_o after_o he_o
