say_v come_v they_o come_v go_v they_o go_v do_v this_o and_o they_o do_v it_o so_o the_o child_n of_o wisdom_n do_v justify_v christ_n in_o yield_v cheerful_a obedience_n to_o he_o in_o all_o his_o

sake_n by_o our_o self-denial_n we_o justify_v wisdom_n to_o be_v the_o principal_a thing_n to_o be_v more_o worth_a than_o all_o the_o world_n to_o be_v better_a than_o riches_n honour_n the_o

and_o a_o good_a conscience_n then_o do_v they_o justify_v to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o these_o thing_n be_v dear_a to_o they_o than_o their_o own_o sives_z our_o suffering_n for_o religion_n be_v

not_o thus_o justify_v christ_n self-denial_n and_o their_o popular_a outward_a pharisaical_a holiness_n can_v not_o stand_v together_o it_o be_v say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o love_v the_o praise_n of_o man_n more_o than_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o so_o will_v not_o be_v disciple_n of_o christ_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v dishonourable_a for_o they_o as_o salvian_n in_o his_o time_n
