that_o be_v the_o proper_a fruit_n of_o such_o man_n and_o not_o their_o particular_a action_n answer_n that_o christ_n word_n here_o have_v a_o relation_n to_o false_a prophet_n we_o grant_v it_o and_o that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v know_v by_o their_o fruit_n we_o also_o acknowledge_v but_o that_o the_o fruit_n there_o mean_v be_v only_o their_o doctrine_n and_o not_o their_o particular_a

have_v good_a word_n for_o god_n say_v they_o have_v steal_v his_o word_n from_o their_o neighbour_n etc._n etc._n and_o they_o have_v fair_a speech_n but_o be_v inward_o raven_a from_o whence_o

wherefore_o by_o their_o fruit_n you_o shall_v know_v they_o ver_fw-la 20._o and_o in_o the_o follow_a verse_n it_o be_v most_o clear_a that_o by_o fruit_n he_o mean_v their_o deed_n and_o

of_o their_o exclusion_n from_o he_o and_o further_o speak_v of_o the_o wise_a and_o foolish_a builder_n he_o say_v he_o that_o hear_v these_o say_n of_o i_o and_o do_v they_o i_o will_v liken_v he_o
