34.23_o thus_o many_o now_o adays_o among_o we_o will_v make_v some_o show_n of_o religion_n perform_v holy_a duty_n both_o public_o and_o private_o not_o out_o of_o conscience_n but_o out_o of_o

their_o aim_n be_v how_o they_o may_v please_v man_n and_o advantage_n themselves_o in_o earthly_a thing_n therefore_o if_o you_o will_v be_v sure_a your_o conscience_n be_v good_a do_v what_o you_o do_v for_o conscience_n sake_n not_o because_o man_n think_v it_o fit_a and_o you_o think_v it_o profitable_a or_o honourable_a but_o because_o god_n command_v it_o 2._o note_n if_o you_o have_v a_o

no_o grief_n no_o pain_n no_o loss_n for_o it_o see_v this_o in_o amaziah_n king_n of_o judah_n he_o hire_v a_o army_n of_o a_o 100000_o man_n of_o valour_n out_o of_o israel_n 25.6_o 2_o chr._n
