heaven_n that_o never_o see_v that_o glorious_a light_n which_o we_o see_v yet_o that_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o we_o to_o shut_v our_o eye_n in_o the_o time_n of_o this_o light_n nay_o it_o be_v our_o shame_n and_o exceed_a aggravation_n of_o our_o sin_n so_o to_o do_v as_o we_o may_v see_v act_v 17.30_o beside_o i_o be_o persuade_v all_o thing_n be_v not_o yet_o reveal_v that_o shall_v be_v

of_o berea_n act_v 17.11_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n undeniable_a command_v by_o god_n and_o very_o profitable_a and_o in_o this_o as_o in_o all_o thing_n else_o the_o better_a the_o more_o oppose_v by_o the_o devil_n as_o we_o find_v in_o all_o time_n not_o only_o among_o papist_n but_o also_o among_o those_o that_o will_v condemn_v it_o as_o a_o evil_a in_o they_o i_o have_v often_o hear_v some_o press_n this_o duty_n of_o search_v the_o scripture_n and_o blame_v the_o papist_n for_o hide_v the_o light_n yet_o i_o have_v hear_v those_o man_n bitter_o speak_v against_o such_o as_o have_v be_v forward_o in_o the_o practice_n thereof_o the_o berean_o be_v commend_v for_o search_v the_o scripture_n whether_o those_o thing_n paul_n teach_v be_v true_a although_o he_o be_v a_o apostle_n and_o the_o penman_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o if_o you_o make_v the_o least_o enquiry_n or_o doubt_n of_o what_o be_v receive_v and_o profess_v by_o these_o man_n you_o shall_v find_v the_o change_n of_o their_o countenance_n towards_o you_o and_o scarce_o ever_o have_v their_o good_a report_n after_o or_o of_o any_o other_o if_o they_o can_v help_v it_o and_o why_o do_v they_o this_o

in_o religion_n then_o may_v serve_v to_o advance_v their_o credit_n and_o can_v say_v of_o all_o they_o hear_v it_o be_v excellent_a doctrine_n though_o they_o know_v no_o reason_n for_o it_o but_o because_o such_o man_n speak_v it_o let_v not_o such_o nor_o any_o other_o draw_v we_o from_o this_o duty_n neither_o keep_v we_o in_o ignorance_n in_o these_o time_n of_o great_a light_n we_o shall_v
