the_o sun_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v if_o this_o be_v not_o true_a than_o i_o have_v no_o faith_n truth_n honesty_n there_o be_v no_o temple_n altar_n fire_n sun_n or_o let_v i_o be_v take_v

of_o take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a a._n 1._o father_v on_o he_o false_a doctrine_n revelation_n or_o law_n say_v as_o false_a prophet_n god_n send_v i_o and_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n when_o it_o be_v false_a say_v this_o doctrine_n or_o this_o prophecy_n god_n spirit_n reveal_v to_o i_o when_o it_o be_v not_o so_o therefore_o all_o christian_n must_v be_v very_o fearful_a of_o false_a

their_o craze_a melancholy_a fancy_n for_o the_o revelation_n of_o god_n 2._o so_o also_o gather_v false_a doctrine_n out_o of_o scripture_n by_o false_a exposition_n and_o father_v these_o on_o god_n and_o therefore_o all_o man_n shall_v in_o dark_a and_o doubtful_a case_n rather_o suspend_v their_o judgement_n till_o they_o have_v overcome_v their_o doubt_n by_o solid_a evidence_n than_o rash_o to_o conclude_v and_o confident_o and_o fierce_o dispute_v for_o error_n it_o be_v a_o great_a profanation_n to_o father_n lie_v on_o god_n who_o be_v the_o hater_n of_o they_o when_o lie_v be_v the_o
