no_o need_n of_o repentance_n that_o man_n condition_n be_v sase_a enough_o already_o and_o that_o he_o may_v do_v well_o enough_o though_o he_o be_v never_o reconcile_v to_o god_n do_v you_o think_v

of_o prophet_n apostle_n and_o minister_n in_o such_o distant_a age_n and_o in_o such_o distant_a place_n shall_v all_o agree_v in_o this_o to_o impose_v a_o falsity_n upon_o the_o world_n will_v

of_o god_n be_v true_a if_o you_o will_v stand_v to_o that_o i_o desire_v no_o more_o how_o be_v it_o write_v read_v a_o verse_n or_o two_o turn_z to_z matthew_z 5.20_o except_o your_o righteousness_n

say_v that_o god_n be_v mistake_v and_o that_o the_o scripture_n speak_v more_o of_o these_o matter_n than_o needs_o what_o be_v you_o go_v from_o your_o word_n so_o soon_o do_v you_o not_o say_v

what_o reason_n have_v you_o then_o for_o your_o strange_a neglect_n in_o your_o prosecute_n of_o they_o what_o say_v they_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o will_v you_o say_v

after_o you_o with_o earnestness_n yet_o do_v thou_o still_o turn_v thy_o back_n upon_o they_o consider_v whether_o you_o act_n in_o these_o affair_n like_o one_o that_o be_v well_o in_o his_o wit_n

than_o the_o nature_n of_o they_o do_v require_v he_o do_v not_o tell_v the_o best_a and_o hide_v the_o worst_a he_o do_v not_o speak_v all_o of_o heaven_n and_o nothing_o of_o suffering_n but_o say_v

after_o all_o this_o thou_o who_o have_v try_v many_o and_o many_o a_o friend_n so_o call_v and_o have_v by_o sad_a experience_n first_o or_o last_o find_v they_o all_o unfaithful_a and_o be_v

out_o with_o discontent_n man_n will_v be_v man_n that_o be_v unfaithful_a as_o long_o as_o the_o world_n last_v do_v you_o expect_v as_o long_o as_o sin_n reign_v in_o man_n soul_n that_o as_o long_o
