few_o if_o any_o rejoice_v to_o see_v religion_n flourish_v as_o there_o be_v few_o that_o mourn_n for_o the_o absence_n of_o it_o so_o who_o will_v defend_v the_o same_o which_o be_v the_o five_o mark_n of_o a_o man_n rejoice_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o that_o both_o by_o speak_v for_o it_o as_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o it_o to_o the_o adversary_n suffer_v for_o it_o as_o the_o apostle_n &_o

second_o ergo_fw-la few_o rejoice_n in_o the_o truth_n and_o as_o few_o will_v defend_v it_o in_o this_o manner_n who_o be_v there_o that_o prefer_v it_o to_o their_o chief_a joy_n which_o be_v the_o sixth_o and_o last_o mark_n whereby_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o we_o rejoice_v in_o the_o truth_n yea_o or_o no_o who_o count_v all_o thing_n dung_n in_o comparison_n of_o that_o who_o be_v there_o that_o prefer_v it_o to_o their_o life_n with_o paul_n act_n 20._o my_o life_n be_v not_o dear_a unto_o i_o so_o i_o may_v finish_v my_o course_n with_o joy_n or_o with_o nehe._n 6.11_o shall_v such_o

few_o such_o life_n be_v sweet_a will_v all_o say_v but_o i_o say_v to_o a_o christian_a man_n and_o woman_n religion_n the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v far_o sweet_a thus_o have_v we_o examine_v from_o top_n to_o toe_n both_o by_o quid_fw-la charitas_fw-la abstinet_fw-la and_o quid_fw-la efficit_fw-la and_o few_o do_v we_o find_v to_o have_v love_n dwell_v in_o they_o because_o few_o love_n righteousness_n or_o honest_a deal_n with_o man_n or_o religion_n towards_o god_n i_o will_v only_o lay_v down_o two_o motive_n to_o move_v the_o latter_a to_o be_v in_o love_n with_o religion_n and_o to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o same_o and_o so_o i_o will_v cease_v which_o be_v these_o 1._o the_o necessity_n of_o it_o without_o it_o there_o be_v no_o come_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n for_o we_o must_v rejoice_v to_o see_v christ_n reign_v here_o by_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n else_o we_o shall_v never_o come_v to_o rejoice_v with_o he_o in_o glory_n to_o be_v lover_n and_o
