be_v a_o unkind_a and_o a_o ill-natured_a age_n that_o all_o man_n now_o adays_o do_v seek_v their_o own_o thing_n and_o not_o the_o thing_n of_o other_o that_o interest_n carry_v all_o before_o it_o

heart_n can_v wish_v i_o may_v sometime_o think_v of_o it_o with_o regret_n that_o person_n in_o no_o authority_n at_o all_o do_v usual_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o prescribe_v and_o give_v law_n to_o other_o in_o those_o thing_n in_o and_o as_o to_o which_o they_o shall_v only_o be_v a_o law_n to_o themselves_o i_o mean_v leave_v to_o their_o own_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n and_o so_o it_o be_v that_o they_o who_o command_v the_o purse_n do_v seem_v to_o think_v that_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v in_o subjection_n to_o they_o themselves_o assume_v or_o challenge_v that_o power_n of_o impose_v and_o that_o dominion_n over_o the_o faith_n of_o other_o man_n though_o real_o their_o equal_n which_o they_o condemn_v in_o other_o who_o be_v legal_o their_o superior_n it_o go_v near_o to_o i_o sometime_o to_o think_v how_o full_a of_o snare_n and_o temptation_n the_o present_a time_n be_v both_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o on_o the_o left_a as_o if_o all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n be_v not_o tempter_n enough_o nor_o the_o wile_n and_o method_n of_o satan_n sufficient_a to_o try_v we_o or_o as_o if_o to_o grapple_v not_o only_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o also_o with_o principality_n and_o power_n and_o spiritual_a wickedness_n in_o high_a place_n and_o with_o the_o ruler_n of_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o world_n be_v not_o as_o much_o as_o one_o of_o we_o can_v well_o turn_v our_o hand_n to_o unless_o man_n turn_v devil_n too_o tempter_n i_o mean_v and_o go_v about_o like_o roar_a lion_n seek_v who_o they_o can_v devour_v i_o free_o confess_v i_o have_v have_v many_o black_a and_o gloomy_a thought_n upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o those_o thing_n such_o as_o if_o other_o have_v be_v conscious_a to_o they_o may_v have_v expect_v i_o shall_v have_v do_v like_o the_o madman_n speak_v of_o prov._n 26.18_o viz._n have_v cast_v about_o firebrand_n arrow_n and_o death_n but_o instead_o thereof_o i_o have_v be_v pleasant_a with_o
