and_o will_v always_o be_v a_o enmity_n betwixt_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n but_o yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o we_o may_v labour_v for_o

it_o be_v nauseated_a from_o converse_v with_o they_o such_o be_v all_o selfish_n morose_n churlish_a contentious_a man_n who_o instead_o of_o invite_v other_o do_v rather_o discourage_v they_o from_o the_o way_n of_o religion_n ii_o for_o such_o as_o be_v scandalous_a who_o whilst_o they_o profess_v religion_n do_v allow_v themselves_o in_o some_o notorious_a sin_n and_o sometime_o commit_v they_o under_o the_o very_a pretence_n of_o religion_n as_o the_o pharisee_n be_v accuse_v to_o devour_v widow_n house_n that_o be_v to_o do_v act_n of_o injustice_n and_o cruelty_n under_o the_o pretence_n

their_o utmost_a to_o disparage_v it_o and_o make_v it_o appear_v odious_a what_o serious_a man_n will_v be_v invite_v to_o own_o that_o for_o a_o religion_n which_o be_v profess_v by_o man_n of_o such_o false_a and_o hateful_a conversation_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n i_o will_v brief_o suggest_v by_o way_n of_o motive_n to_o dissuade_v man_n from_o offend_v in_o either_o of_o these_o kind_n
