the_o text_n concern_v to_o pass_v therefore_o from_o this_o sort_n of_o man_n to_o another_o which_o more_o near_o resemble_v saul_n and_o in_o outward_a appearance_n go_v far_o beyond_o the_o

i_o in_o that_o i_o have_v say_v of_o the_o former_a kind_n there_o will_v be_v great_a question_n about_o this_o latter_a not_o for_o that_o it_o be_v so_o doubtful_a but_o for_o that_o many_o be_v

have_v no_o great_a proof_n of_o their_o godliness_n and_o sincerity_n than_o saul_n have_v in_o a_o time_n of_o grosser_n and_o deep_a darkness_n i_o hope_v none_o will_v deny_v but_o that_o they_o be_v as_o deep_a in_o the_o punishment_n and_o be_v as_o guilty_a of_o it_o and_o so_o continue_v shall_v as_o certain_o go_v under_o it_o as_o he_o do_v and_o to_o bewray_v those_o two_o sort_n of_o man_n i_o do_v as_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n unfold_v this_o scripture_n now_o therefore_o this_o i_o say_v if_o god_n can_v bear_v saul_n no_o long_o but_o give_v he_o over_o to_o be_v vex_v with_o a_o evil_a spirit_n as_o appear_v he_o do_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n and_o that_o for_o his_o halt_n and_o obey_v god_n by_o half_n and_o for_o that_o he_o do_v it_o not_o in_o sincerity_n and_o faithful_o what_o hope_n have_v they_o to_o god-ward_o which_o do_v the_o like_a therefore_o if_o many_o now_o among_o we_o not_o only_a worship_n god_n public_o but_o also_o private_o take_v
