paul_n when_o he_o come_v to_o preach_v the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o too_o much_o learning_n make_v thou_o mad_a say_v festus_n and_o be_v not_o the_o apostle_n word_n esteem_v as_o word_n of_o drunken_a man_n when_o they_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 2.13_o and_o christ_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o man_n shall_v speak_v all_o manner_n of_o evil_n say_v false_o against_o we_o for_o his_o name_n sake_n even_o as_o they_o do_v of_o the_o prophet_n before_o so_o that_o in_o outward_a show_n all_o zealous_a christian_n in_o general_a and_o every_o true_a and_o faithful_a minister_n of_o christ_n in_o particular_a who_o mouth_n be_v still_o open_a to_o find_v fault_n and_o reprove_v sin_n shall_v seem_v to_o the_o blind_a world_n of_o all_o man_n most_o froward_a but_o we_o know_v and_o so_o many_o as_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n do_v know_v that_o none_o but_o the_o man_n of_o belial_n and_o ish-aven_a that_o be_v lawless_a and_o vain_a person_n be_v those_o which_o walk_v with_o a_o froward_a mouth_n as_o for_o the_o regenerate_a though_o they_o be_v as_o have_v be_v say_v through_o weakness_n sometime_o overtake_v with_o a_o froward_a speech_n 1.1_o yet_o bless_v be_v they_o say_v david_n because_o they_o walk_v not_o in_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o wicked_a nor_o stand_v in_o the_o way_n of_o sinner_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v abound_v say_v paul_n through_o our_o sin_n 9_o but_o not_o if_o we_o continue_v still_o in_o our_o sin_n and_o therefore_o to_o conclude_v as_o paul_n go_v to_o persecute_v the_o church_n be_v obedient_a to_o the_o heavenly_a vision_n and_o return_v a_o true_a convert_n so_o let_v so_o many_o as_o have_v walk_v in_o froward_a way_n now_o take_v warning_n by_o this_o heavenly_a vision_n and_o so_o shall_v he_o return_v home_o true_o convert_v now_o let_v we_o praise_v god_n the_o four_o sermon_n prov_n 6.13.14_o he_o make_v a_o sign_n with_o his_o eye_n he_o signify_v with_o his_o foot_n he_o instruct_v

that_o all_o his_o behaviour_n be_v counterfeit_a the_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o man_n of_o belial_n and_o the_o vain_a man_n be_v very_o cunning_a and_o skilful_a both_o in_o play_v the_o

by_o his_o gesture_n &_o external_a behaviour_n do_v teach_v we_o many_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n worthy_a our_o best_a consideration_n 1_o the_o severe_a preciseness_n and_o precise_a severity_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o look_v into_o the_o very_a gesture_n of_o the_o body_n as_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o foot_n and_o the_o finger_n etc._n etc._n 2_o the_o
