with_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n and_o will_v not_o for_o a_o world_n be_v a_o mean_n to_o persuade_v you_o to_o conform_v to_o any_o of_o his_o damnable_a device_n no_o not_o in_o the_o least_o circumstance_n whatsoever_o because_o they_o all_o come_v from_o one_o root_n and_o flow_v from_o the_o same_o fountain_n and_o to_o make_v this_o good_a he_o will_v not_o stick_v by_o drum_n and_o trumpet_n to_o proclaim_v open_a and_o intestine_a war_n against_o all_o their_o damnable_a course_n and_o dissemble_a proceed_n yea_o to_o give_v you_o full_a satisfaction_n he_o will_v take_v his_o corporal_a oath_n that_o his_o judgement_n be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o they_o though_o for_o some_o special_a consideration_n he_o thereunto_o move_v his_o practice_n in_o outward_a show_n

the_o very_a presence_n and_o sight_n of_o all_o your_o synagoguish_a adversary_n that_o now_o so_o molest_v and_o trouble_v you_o who_o stand_v neither_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n nor_o on_o the_o left_a but_o aloof_o off_o in_o their_o airy_a castle_n even_o indifferent_o dispose_v betwixt_o both_o shall_v find_v to_o their_o cost_n that_o whosoever_o be_v not_o in_o the_o right_n be_v very_o

shall_v you_o never_o do_v amiss_o now_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n who_o will_v short_o send_v our_o lord_n jesus_n to_o make_v trial_n of_o every_o man_n work_n preserve_v and_o keep_v you_o and_o

not_o with_o the_o world_n for_o all_o that_o will_v live_v godly_a and_o conform_v only_o to_o he_o must_v have_v tribulation_n therein_o but_o with_o god_n and_o among_o yourselves_o have_n your_o

of_o curious_a vain_a and_o unmortified_a spirit_n nimbleness_n of_o wit_n be_v no_o help_n to_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n see_v then_o you_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o question_n beware_v lest_o you_o also_o be_v ●lucked_v away_o with_o the_o bewitch_a error_n of_o they_o that_o be_v carnal_o mind_v and_o so_o by_o little_a &_o little_a conform_v first_o to_o this_o then_o to_o that_o at_o length_n by_o degree_n you_o fall_v from_o your_o former_a steadfastness_n rather_o strive_v to_o grow_v in_o grace_n and_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n
