14._o a_o israelite_n that_o be_v without_o guile_n that_o have_v but_o one_o heart_n be_v a_o rare_a man_n and_o worthy_a of_o a_o ecce_fw-la behold_v indeed_o a_o israelite_n in_o the_o open_n of_o this_o point_n i_o shall_v follow_v the_o thread_n of_o that_o explication_n of_o this_o word_n double_a mind_a which_o i_o give_v in_o the_o beginning_n 1_o this_o double_a mindednes_n be_v a_o uncertainty_n of_o the_o heart_n with_o god_n not_o fix_v upon_o a_o centre_n but_o off_o and_o on_o as_o time_n occasion_n and_o interest_n do_v lead_v on_o or_o draw_v off_o so_o far_o you_o will_v go_v with_o god_n as_o your_o way_n and_o he_o do_v fall_v out_o to_o hold_v together_o and_o until_o you_o must_v pull_v down_o jeroboam_n calf_n as_o well_o as_o ahab'_v baal_n and_o than_o you_o part_v with_o he_o when_o it_o come_v to_o such_o a_o pinch_n so_o also_o in_o adversity_n or_o affliction_n we_o make_v nautarum_fw-la vota_fw-la mariner_n vow_n as_o they_o do_v in_o a_o storm_n and_o when_o we_o be_v on_o shore_n and_o land_v out_o of_o danger_n we_o eat_v the_o covenant_n we_o make_v before_o psal_n 78._o 24._o etc._n etc._n when_o he_o slay_v they_o than_o they_o seek_v he_o and_o they_o return_v and_o inquire_v early_o after_o god_n and_o they_o remember_v that_o god_n be_v their_o rock_n and_o the_o high_a god_n their_o redeemer_n nevertheless_o they_o do_v but_o flatter_v and_o lie_v unto_o he_o for_o their_o heart_n be_v not_o right_a with_o he_o nor_o be_v they_o steadfast_a in_o his_o covenant_n if_o the_o heart_n be_v right_a with_o god_n it_o will_v be_v certain_a and_o steadfast_a with_o he_o constancy_n be_v but_o the_o daughter_n of_o sincerity_n it_o be_v a_o hateful_a thing_n to_o set_v sail_n to_o every_o wind_n and_o to_o change_v colour_n so_o often_o be_v no_o fast_o tie_v to_o god_n in_o the_o tempest_n than_o we_o can_v be_v loosen_v in_o the_o calm_a be_v what_o you_o be_v in_o the_o storm_n in_o your_o affliction_n you_o will_v abide_v to_o be_v spur_v without_o kick_v and_o be_v very_o tame_a under_o reproof_n but_o when_o you_o be_v lift_v up_o and_o be_v at_o short_a then_o to_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o your_o vow_n and_o covenant_n in_o the_o day_n of_o your_o trouble_n be_v as_o a_o unpleasing_a a_o thing_n as_o to_o put_v a_o mariner_n at_o shore_n in_o mind_n of_o his_o vow_n or_o promise_n make_v at_o sea_n it_o be_v no_o great_a danger_n to_o reprove_v man_n sharp_o when_o they_o be_v low_a any_o coward_n may_v strike_v a_o man_n that_o be_v down_o but_o believe_v it_o when_o man_n be_v aloft_o and_o high_a and_o may_v more_o safe_a he_o deal_v withal_o by_o stroke_v then_o by_o the_o spur_n than_o it_o be_v somewhat_o to_o come_v nigh_o the_o heel_n of_o truth_n for_o it_o may_v haply_o strike_v out_o

when_o a_o man_n lay_v his_o dead_a body_n and_o the_o dead_a womb_n of_o sara_n in_o the_o scale_n against_o the_o promise_n of_o have_v isaac_n this_o be_v sense_n fight_v against_o faith_n 2._o
