wisdom_n of_o this_o world_n be_v foolishness_n before_o god_n &_o therefore_o he_o admonish_v we_o say_v let_v no_o man_n deceive_v himself_o if_o any_o man_n among_o you_o seem_v wise_a let_v he_o

but_o we_o must_v confess_v it_o and_o feel_v indeed_o for_o if_o we_o have_v nothing_o but_o the_o bare_a word_n and_o do_v not_o think_v lowly_a of_o ourselves_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o fein_v and_o hypocrisy_n the_o which_o be_v great_o detestable_a before_o god_n who_o demand_v a_o sincere_a and_o upright_o heart_n and_o whereunto_o the_o mouth_n agree_v let_v we_o take_v heed_n then_o
