among_o the_o heathen_n for_o love_n yea_o i_o may_v say_v they_o worship_v god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n with_o a_o devotion_n no_o more_o raise_v and_o spiritual_a than_o the_o old_a roman_n do_v worship_v their_o jupiter_n or_o the_o ephesian_n their_o great_a goddess_n diana_n and_o sure_o this_o be_v to_o be_v lament_a that_o christian_a act_n shall_v be_v do_v and_o not_o from_o a_o principle_n spiritual_a or_o not_o from_o a_o christian_a principle_n it_o be_v very_o possible_a and_o very_o ordinary_a to_o follow_v christ_n yea_o to_o call_v upon_o christ_n mere_o with_o human_a

verse_n 34._o may_v well_o be_v judge_v to_o come_v mere_o from_o a_o carnal_a spirit_n when_o christ_n have_v discourse_n of_o the_o bread_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o give_v life_n into_o the_o world_n say_v they_o lord_n evermore_o give_v we_o of_o this_o bread_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v but_o from_o a_o carnal_a desire_n not_o know_v what_o that_o bread_n mean_v spiritual_o and_o it_o appear_v clear_o to_o be_v so_o for_o in_o the_o close_a of_o the_o chapter_n many_o of_o his_o hearer_n go_v quite_o away_o they_o forsake_v he_o now_o certain_o to_o do_v these_o

in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v do_v to_o good_a man_n according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o it_o be_v do_v to_o wicked_a man_n according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o righteous_a eccles_n 8._o 14._o this_o be_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v lament_v but_o i_o now_o shall_v show_v you_o two_o sight_n more_o much_o more_o to_o be_v lament_v first_o it_o be_v a_o very_a lamentable_a thing_n to_o see_v good_a man_n do_v according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o wicked_a thus_o do_v david_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o uriah_n 2_o sam._n 11._o thus_o do_v solomon_n when_o his_o heart_n go_v after_o strange_a god_n and_o he_o build_v high_a place_n to_o their_o abomination_n 1_o king_n 11._o 4_o 5._o thus_o do_v asa_n a_o good_a king_n when_o he_o imprison_v the_o prophet_n and_o in_o his_o disease_n seek_v to_o the_o physician_n and_o not_o to_o god_n 2_o chron._n 16._o 10_o 12._o yea_o thus_o do_v st._n peter_n that_o holy_a apostle_n when_o he_o deny_v yea_o forswear_v

sight_n to_o see_v one_o profess_v godliliness_n yea_o one_o that_o be_v real_o godly_a act_n thus_o like_o a_o wicked_a man_n this_o be_v to_o act_v as_o i_o have_v sometime_o express_v it_o the_o

this_o text_n and_o doctrine_n which_o be_v very_o sad_a also_o and_o what_o be_v that_o why_o to_o see_v bad_a man_n do_v according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o good_a man_n still_o continue_v in_o their_o bad_a state_n they_o plod_v on_o and_o go_v on_o do_v good_a thing_n but_o never_o mind_n to_o become_v good_a themselves_o and_o so_o bad_a man_n do_v according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o
