believe_v with_o and_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o because_o man_n do_v not_o love_v the_o precept_n of_o religion_n will_v not_o have_v they_o be_v their_o duty_n therefore_o they_o will_v have_v the_o doctrine_n of_o it_o not_o be_v truth_n and_o in_o this_o they_o be_v the_o disciple_n only_o of_o their_o lust_n and_o because_o they_o can_v resolve_v to_o be_v otherwise_o therefore_o they_o resolve_v not_o to_o be_v christ_n disciple_n but_o reject_v he_o for_o his_o holy_a doctrine_n sake_n and_o so_o this_o child_n be_v for_o the_o fall_n of_o many_o but_o it_o be_v strange_a if_o upon_o this_o account_n christ_n shall_v be_v for_o the_o fall_n of_o any_o of_o we_o who_o have_v learn_v a_o trick_n to_o reconcile_v his_o severe_a doctines_n and_o our_o sin_n together_o where_o vice_n most_o abound_v though_o it_o be_v wilful_a and_o man_n persevere_v in_o it_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o find_v any_o reason_n to_o fall_v off_o from_o he_o or_o from_o his_o gospel_n for_o this_o that_o they_o therefore_o take_v the_o fast_o hold_v of_o it_o rely_v upon_o he_o with_o the_o bold_a strong_a confidence_n as_o if_o good_a old_a simeon_n be_v mistake_v when_o he_o think_v because_o man_n will_v not_o leave_v those_o sin_n which_o christ_n so_o threaten_v therefore_o they_o will_v leave_v he_o because_o they_o can_v not_o bear_v those_o his_o hard_a say_n to_o pull_v our_o the_o lust_n and_o the_o eye_n too_o cast_v away_o the_o treasure_n of_o unrighteousness_n and_o the_o right_a hand_n that_o receive_v they_o also_o therefore_o they_o will_v cast_v off_o he_o for_o for_o this_o reason_n they_o betake_v themselves_o to_o he_o more_o eager_o devolve_v and_o cast_v themselves_o upon_o he_o with_o assurance_n it_o be_v possible_a indeed_o that_o
