of_o so_o be_v it_o he_o bring_v this_o answer_n sir_n y_z e_z hart_n have_v consult_v with_o worldly_a policy_n &_o natural_a reason_n do_v find_v this_o to_o be_v against_o his_o profit_n or_o against_o his_o pleasure_n or_o against_o his_o gain_n or_o against_o his_o custom_n or_o against_o his_o credit_n in_o the_o world_n &_o therefore_o this_o bill_n can_v pass_v my_o master_n the_o

with_o their_o like_n as_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o house_n understanding_n will_n &_o affection_n although_o they_o know_v the_o matter_n to_o be_v true_a just_a &_o equal_a which_o you_o demand_v yet_o they_o can_v do_v no_o good_a in_o the_o matter_n because_o the_o other_o two_o have_v nip_v it_o in_o the_o head_n sometime_o the_o tongue_n say_v amen_o to_o that_o which_o the_o hart_n condemn_v because_o reason_n confirm_v it_o &_o this_o be_v common_o when_o the_o eye_n see_v some_o body_n who_o he_o fear_v or_o the_o ear_n hear_v something_o that_o he_o can_v answer_v &_o therefore_o though_o y_fw-fr e_o tongue_n be_v a_o common_a speaker_n yet_o be_v he_o not_o always_o a_o true_a speaker_n sometime_o again_o the_o ear_n admit_v &_o the_o hart_n affect_v &_o desire_v that_o which_o reason_n subscribe_v unto_o but_o for_o want_v of_o faith_n reason_n revoke_v y_z e_z hart_n faint_v &_o you_o e_o tongue_n folter_v and_o either_o for_o fear_n or_o for_o shame_n

a_o mockery_n against_o god_n because_o the_o parliament_n house_n be_v divide_v &_o there_o be_v but_o a_o mutiny_n between_o the_o hart_n the_o tongue_n and_o the_o rest_n but_o if_o all_o agree_v upon_o the_o point_n they_o the_o tongue_n show_v the_o consent_n of_o the_o hart_n and_o bold_o without_o fear_n of_o any_o whatsoever_o stand_v forth_o and_o say_v so_o be_v it_o but_o why_o do_v

e_z holy_a ghost_n &_o this_o be_v god_n wisdom_n therefore_o let_v we_o not_o find_v fault_n withal_o this_o be_v y_z e_z plain_n &_o simple_a deal_n of_o a_o faithful_a soul_n indeed_o it_o be_v usual_a in_o the_o scripture_n to_o have_v one_o thing_n oftentimes_o urge_v in_o teach_v &_o no_o often_o than_o be_v needful_a because_o first_o it_o be_v long_o before_o we_o can_v learn_v god_n

will_n therefore_o let_v no_o man_n in_o hear_v one_o thing_n often_o be_v weary_a because_o every_o man_n may_v learn_v the_o same_o thing_n better_o do_v not_o say_v the_o preacher_n want_v matter_n but_o say_v rather_o that_o we_o want_v grace_n or_o understanding_n or_o memory_n or_o zeal_n or_o love_n or_o something_o again_o let_v no_o man_n in_o teach_v stand_v so_o much_o upon_o his_o

any_o man_n be_v wise_a they_o god_n spirit_n he_o will_v prove_v himself_o a_o fool_n in_o prayer_n also_o the_o same_o spirit_n have_v teach_v god_n child_n to_o speak_v one_o thing_n oftentimes_o partly_o because_o there_o be_v in_o every_o one_o great_a dulness_n &_o want_n of_o feel_v &_o partly_o to_o note_v how_o earnest_a they_o be_v &_o desirous_a to_o obtain_v y_z t_o which_o they_o
