doctrine_n be_v such_o as_o refuse_v public_a place_n in_o the_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n and_o retire_v themselves_o into_o private_a and_o discontent_a cours●s_n and_o will_v not_o be_v

their_o madness_n they_o mock_v and_o flout_v this_o lot_n scorn_v he_o as_o a_o stranger_n and_o many_o way_n grieve_v his_o righteous_a soul_n be_v weary_a of_o he_o and_o his_o company_n and_o

what_o have_v they_o gain_v even_o as_o much_o as_o sodom_n do_v when_o they_o have_v cast_v out_o lot_n second_o we_o may_v here_o learn_v what_o a_o fearful_a &_o dangerous_a thing_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v heal_v by_o spiritual_a physic_n that_o be_v not_o to_o profit_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n nor_o to_o be_v convert_v from_o sin_n when_o god_n give_v mean_n for_o what_o be_v this_o but_o a_o evident_a testimony_n of_o god_n heavy_a wrath_n and_o a_o certain_a forerunner_n of_o damnation_n will_v not_o babylon_n be_v heal_v then_o what_o follow_v but_o destruction_n so_o in_o the_o

who_o have_v long_o and_o liberal_o be_v feed_v from_o heaven_n with_o abundance_n and_o variety_n of_o spiritual_a food_n therefore_o every_o one_o look_n to_o thyself_o how_o thou_o profite_a by_o
