their_o own_o fancy_n teach_v we_o thereby_o what_o be_v good_a and_o what_o be_v bad_a zeal_n zeal_n be_v then_o evil_a and_o bad_a when_o it_o will_v not_o be_v nor_o be_v rule_v by_o true_a

will_v prove_v a_o man_n to_o have_v repentance_n again_o zeal_n consist_v of_o two_o affection_n love_n and_o sorrow_n love_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o his_o service_n sorrow_n when_o it_o
