though_o it_o be_v a_o trouble_n to_o those_o that_o ordain_v they_o yet_o all_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n can_v prevent_v it_o and_o second_o it_o be_v a_o frequent_a thing_n for_o truth_n to_o be_v

yet_o attain_v to_o perfection_n now_o this_o truth_n may_v appear_v to_o some_o before_o it_o do_v to_o other_o in_o some_o circumstance_n it_o may_v appear_v to_o those_o that_o be_v common_o call_v

before_o it_o do_v to_o presbyterian_o and_o shall_v the_o presbyterian_o despise_v the_o independent_o because_o god_n who_o do_v what_o he_o please_v have_v not_o give_v they_o that_o light_n which_o they_o have_v obtain_v and_o have_v the_o comfort_n of_o or_o shall_v the_o independent_o despise_v the_o presbyterian_o because_o god_n have_v not_o give_v they_o that_o light_n which_o he_o have_v confer_v upon_o they_o and_o they_o have_v the_o comfort_n of_o oh_o no_o let_v it_o be_v far_o from_o either_o of_o they_o see_v they_o be_v all_o build_v upon_o one_o foundation_n but_o let_v they_o rather_o serious_o consider_v that_o passage_n of_o the_o apostle_n if_o any_o man_n be_v otherwise_o mind_v god_n shall_v reveal_v it_o to_o such_o a_o one_o if_o one_o man_n be_v otherwise_o mind_v and_o have_v not_o receive_v that_o truth_n that_o appear_v to_o thou_o it_o be_v not_o in_o his_o power_n of_o himself_o to_o receive_v it_o nor_o in_o thy_o power_n to_o communicate_v it_o but_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o must_v reveal_v it_o to_o he_o or_o else_o he_o shall_v never_o receive_v it_o and_o therefore_o if_o thou_o excelle_v thy_o brother_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o
