thing_n of_o this_o world_n in_o our_o judgement_n right_o inform_v which_o now_o seem_v so_o precious_a in_o our_o imagination_n be_v corrupt_v do_v what_o the_o spiritual_a man_n that_o be_v like_o the_o noble_a eagle_n shall_v do_v and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v be_v like_o the_o noble_a eagle_n mount_v up_o to_o heaven_n then_o as_o moses_n build_v his_o tent_n without_o the_o host_n and_o

we_o may_v answer_v that_o for_o our_o loss_n and_o expense_n they_o be_v but_o as_o feather_n and_o that_o shall_v never_o trouble_v we_o but_o our_o hope_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v attain_v unto_o

4._o this_o very_a practice_n and_o proceed_n may_v be_v fear_v to_o prove_v the_o very_a bane_n and_o destruction_n of_o whole_a nation_n and_o kingdom_n for_o if_o righteousness_n exalt_v a_o
