son_n through_o the_o spirit_n with_o nothing_o but_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n and_o the_o fruition_n of_o god_n all_o that_o worth_n which_o silver_n and_o gold_n and_o such_o worldly_a thing_n have_v be_v not_o so_o much_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n as_o from_o our_o esteem_n or_o from_o some_o outward_a humane_a appointment_n but_o we_o can_v never_o thus_o make_v they_o

and_o the_o frothy_a wit_n in_o abusive_a lightness_n thus_o it_o be_v true_a carnal_a and_o worldly_a thing_n to_o carnal_a and_o worldly_a heart_n may_v become_v but_o too_o suitable_a dear_a and_o
