you_o have_v of_o your_o own_o ability_n and_o wit_n as_o be_v much_o more_o penetrate_a and_o your_o judgement_n more_o profound_a than_o that_o of_o other_o man_n this_o fancy_n be_v so_o deep_o root_v in_o your_o shallow_a brain_n that_o you_o look_v upon_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n as_o distract_a person_n when_o they_o contradict_v you_o this_o fancy_n you_o prefer_v before_o all_o contrary_a evidence_n which_o be_v as_o many_o as_o your_o error_n you_o be_v so_o besot_v with_o it_o and_o with_o your_o own_o sentiment_n that_o you_o do_v not_o perceive_v their_o non_fw-la sense_n and_o contradiction_n in_o this_o condition_n you_o will_v continue_v i_o fear_v until_o you_o resolve_v to_o be_v humble_a and_o forsake_v those_o pitiful_a pleasure_n which_o divert_v your_o reason_n from_o correct_v your_o foolish_a imagination_n now_o that_o you_o know_v the_o cause_n of_o your_o distemper_n though_o the_o cure_n must_v be_v miraculous_a and_o proceed_v from_o god_n supernatural_a grace_n yet_o it_o be_v by_o his_o help_n in_o your_o own_o power_n to_o obtain_v it_o whensoever_o like_o the_o prodigal_a child_n you_o will_v return_v to_o that_o merciful_a father_n
