the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n god_n require_v no_o impossible_a thing_n at_o our_o hand_n he_o expect_v not_o such_o perfection_n in_o we_o as_o in_o he_o our_o pattern_n but_o such_o a_o

therefore_o the_o scruple_v at_o this_o conditional_a petition_n be_v causeless_a and_o i_o think_v it_o not_o so_o difficult_a as_o some_o conceive_v it_o for_o a_o man_n who_o heart_n be_v

even_o when_o he_o be_v a_o persecutor_n because_o he_o think_v those_o who_o he_o persecute_v to_o be_v blasphemer_n of_o god_n yea_o it_o seem_v so_o easy_a to_o forgive_v as_o we_o desire_v god_n shall_v forgive_v we_o that_o i_o who_o be_o one_o of_o the_o least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n do_v believe_v praise_v be_v god_n for_o it_o who_o know_v i_o true_o express_v my_o heart_n

a_o ignorant_a fool_n or_o believe_v i_o to_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n or_o to_o the_o public_a peace_n yea_o though_o i_o know_v their_o persecution_n proceed_v from_o mere_a

7._o indeed_o if_o all_o thing_n be_v well_o consider_v and_o we_o have_v but_o so_o much_o prudence_n or_o patience_n as_o we_o shall_v have_v it_o will_v not_o be_v difficult_a for_o any_o
