that_o in_o all_o age_n and_o time_n we_o have_v see_v that_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n have_v veil_a their_o chief_a top_n sail_n unto_o death_n &_o have_v show_v that_o they_o have_v have_v no_o

travel_n bring_v forth_o nothing_o but_o thorn_n and_o brier_n and_o weed_n according_a to_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n which_o happen_v to_o it_o for_o man_n disobedience_n as_o appear_v in_o genesis_n 3.18_o gen._n 3.18_o et_fw-la spinam_fw-la et_fw-la carduum_fw-la proferat_fw-la tibi_fw-la it_o shall_v bring_v forth_o thorn_n and_o thistle_n unto_o thou_o even_o so_o if_o we_o behold_v the_o

rebellious_a as_o they_o be_v for_o thou_o shall_v go_v among_o thorn_n and_o scorpion_n say_v the_o lord_n now_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thorn_n be_v to_o choke_v up_o

fire_n then_o shall_v it_o draw_v up_o by_o the_o root_n such_o seed_n as_o have_v have_v but_o small_a root_n grow_v among_o the_o same_o thorn_n and_o to_o the_o fire_n they_o shall_v both_o together_o o_o woeful_a life_n when_o honesty_n and_o godliness_n shall_v be_v sow_v among_o such_o thorn_n as_o shall_v choke_v it_o up_o and_o bring_v it_o to_o the_o fire_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n such_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o which_o have_v sow_v their_o godliness_n among_o thorn_n of_o who_o s._n paul_n make_v mention_v have_v a_o taste_n of_o godliness_n but_o deny_v the_o virtue_n thereof_o furthermore_o we_o see_v that_o if_o a_o man_n go_v among_o thorn_n as_o he_o travel_v sometime_o this_o twig_n catch_v his_o clothes_n on_o this_o side_n sometime_o a_o

sometime_o our_o mind_n sometime_o our_o conscience_n be_v tie_v by_o a_o twig_n but_o eftsoon_o our_o heart_n be_v rend_v and_o deface_v in_o so_o much_o that_o behold_v some_o man_n day_n ●re_n
