for_o we_o rather_o than_o the_o whole_a work_n shall_v run_v back_o into_o utter_a desolation_n and_o confusion_n and_o therefore_o can_v but_o withstand_v your_o spirit_n in_o which_o there_o do_v

that_o you_o profess_v for_o true_a you_o have_v the_o name_n and_o notion_n of_o it_o among_o you_o and_o that_o too_o pitiful_o besmear_v with_o darkness_n and_o folly_n but_o for_o the_o thing_n itself_o you_o be_v so_o short_a of_o it_o yea_o so_o opposite_a to_o it_o that_o when_o it_o shall_v come_v forth_o in_o truth_n and_o power_n you_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v before_o it_o i_o be_o very_o much_o persuade_v that_o if_o you_o have_v any_o thing_n of_o a_o sober_a and_o real_a sense_n of_o yourselves_o and_o it_o of_o your_o own_o vileness_n and_o uncleanness_n and_o of_o its_o majesty_n and_o purity_n you_o will_v hide_v yourselves_o in_o shame_n and_o self-condemnation_n and_o not_o appear_v open_o for_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o can_v but_o in_o that_o little_a knowledge_n that_o i_o have_v of_o religion_n appear_v against_o your_o unjust_a and_o undue_a claim_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n it_o may_v be_v you_o be_v confident_a you_o have_v it_o and_o act_n for_o it_o and_o do_v expect_v that_o all_o shall_v bow_v to_o that_o break_a image_n of_o it_o that_o you_o have_v set_v up_o whatever_o you_o now_o think_v it_o will_v be_v at_o last_o find_v a_o great_a kindness_n to_o you_o to_o tell_v you_o that_o you_o in_o your_o present_a act_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o in_o a_o way_n to_o it_o but_o be_v set_v up_o passion_n enmity_n
