to_o publican_n and_o sinner_n alas_o what_o heavenly_a look_n and_o devout_a gesture_n and_o long_a prayer_n and_o frequent_a fasting_n have_v they_o more_o than_o christ_n or_o his_o disciple_n the_o poor_a widow_n be_v so_o ravish_v with_o their_o long_a prayer_n that_o they_o think_v they_o can_v not_o do_v better_o with_o their_o house_n or_o estate_n than_o to_o put_v they_o into_o the_o

need_v not_o wonder_v that_o in_o these_o latter_a age_n such_o pretence_n shall_v be_v make_v use_n of_o since_o in_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n these_o be_v the_o common_a art_n of_o deceiver_n they_o find_v fault_n with_o the_o apotles_a as_o give_v too_o much_o liberty_n to_o man_n in_o the_o use_n of_o marriage_n and_o meat_n but_o they_o think_v the_o state_n of_o the_o one_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o their_o sanctity_n nor_o the_o free_a use_n of_o the_o other_o consistent_a with_o their_o severe_a and_o mortify_a life_n for_o they_o do_v forbid_v to_o marry_v 4.3_o and_o command_v to_o abstain_v from_o meat_n they_o will_v not_o make_v use_n of_o the_o liberty_n which_o god_n have_v allow_v but_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o take_v that_o which_o he_o have_v forbid_v therefore_o the_o apostle_n give_v the_o true_a character_n of_o they_o when_o he_o say_v they_o speak_v lie_n in_o hypocrisy_n there_o be_v a_o outward_a show_n of_o

who_o be_v so_o scrupulous_a about_o what_o god_n have_v allow_v we_o do_v not_o say_v the_o case_n be_v altogether_o the_o same_o where_o man_n be_v forbid_v absolute_o as_o though_o marriage_n be_v
