and_o so_o save_o time_n it_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o present_a to_o say_v that_o god_n child_n drink_v of_o all_o water_n and_o have_v experience_n of_o all_o affliction_n and_o that_o chief_o in_o these_o time_n first_o when_o they_o have_v leave_v god_n counsel_n and_o follow_v their_o own_o device_n god_n child_n be_v never_o worse_o hamper_v than_o in_o net_n of_o their_o own_o weave_n

and_o put_v a_o man_n upon_o evil_a mean_n and_o none_o can_v draw_v a_o good_a conclusion_n from_o ill_a premise_n but_o only_o god_n therefore_o when_o christian_n have_v lose_v god_n wisdom_n and_o his_o way_n and_o betake_v themselves_o to_o their_o own_o wit_n and_o way_n they_o have_v plunge_v themselves_o wonderful_o a_o man_n be_v secure_a and_o confident_a in_o his_o own_o course_n like_o
