whereas_o god_n command_v or_o allow_v they_o to_o be_v do_v and_o that_o man_n shall_v do_v they_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v dislike_v god_n and_o be_v make_v unprofitable_a to_o the_o actor_n the_o devil_n have_v teach_v they_o to_o make_v that_o public_a which_o shall_v be_v private_a and_o so_o by_o ostentation_n or_o hypocrisy_n to_o mar_v the_o act_n yea_o to_o use_v they_o at_o such_o time_n as_o the_o lord_n call_v to_o the_o contrary_a yea_o to_o think_v by_o they_o to_o merit_v remission_n of_o sin_n at_o least_o of_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n which_o as_o it_o be_v
