of_o the_o air_n the_o fish_n of_o the_o sea_n i_o can_v not_o imagine_v how_o these_o thing_n can_v give_v be_v to_o themselves_o nor_o how_o they_o shall_v come_v by_o nature_n nor_o how_o they_o

consider_v that_o innocency_n of_o heart_n and_o a_o just_a upright_a spirit_n be_v good_a in_o itself_o if_o there_o be_v no_o god_n to_o reward_v it_o 10._o and_o that_o unrighteousness_n and_o

to_o the_o end_n if_o there_o be_v nothing_o after_o death_n yet_o will_v i_o keep_v my_o heart_n upright_o and_o will_v do_v nothing_o to_o wound_v my_o conscience_n 12._o for_o i_o never_o have_v no_o gild_n of_o actual_a sin_n that_o do_v ever_o trouble_v i_o 13._o so_o with_o this_o resolution_n i_o do_v resolve_v to_o live_v in_o to_o do_v just_a between_o man_n and_o man_n and_o to_o

natural_a life_n and_o i_o find_v more_o peace_n here_o then_o in_o all_o my_o religion_n and_o if_o there_o be_v anything_o either_o of_o happiness_n or_o misery_n after_o death_n i_o leave_v it_o

commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a then_o shall_v he_o be_v find_v a_o false_a prophet_n and_o will_v be_v damn_v than_o all_o that_o believe_v he_o will_v be_v damn_v also_o this_o must_v be_v venture_v by_o all_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o be_v save_v by_o faith_n in_o a_o commission_n 18._o but_o as_o christ_n speak_v many_o hard_a word_n which_o make_v many_o
