be_v regenerate_v quest_n 14_o first_o it_o be_v require_v of_o they_o that_o they_o be_v careful_a answ_n 1_o to_o nourish_v this_o life_n in_o themselves_o for_o unto_o those_o who_o be_v regenerate_v be_v give_v both_o a_o capacity_n to_o receive_v nourishment_n and_o also_o a_o desire_n of_o nourishment_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o nourish_v and_o cherish_v this_o spiritual_a life_n which_o in_o regeneration_n be_v infuse_v into_o they_o here_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o hinder_v nourishment_n and_o growth_n which_o we_o must_v wary_o avoid_v viz._n i._o contagion_n and_o infection_n those_o who_o eat_v and_o converse_v and_o dwell_v with_o sick_a man_n oftentimes_o be_v take_v with_o the_o same_o disease_n and_o sickness_n whereby_o they_o be_v debilitate_a and_o weaken_a so_o he_o who_o walk_v with_o a_o wicked_a man_n be_v make_v worse_o and_o his_o course_n and_o progress_n in_o religion_n in_o tanto_fw-la be_v

beware_v of_o all_o society_n which_o be_v wicked_a act_v 2.42_o we_o be_v command_v to_o save_v ourselves_o from_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o wicked_a because_o we_o may_v easy_o be_v seduce_v by_o they_o as_o adam_n be_v by_o eve_n david_n say_v depart_v from_o i_o you_o wicked_a because_o i_o will_v keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v the_o society_n of_o wicked_a man_n will_v hinder_v i_o from_o the_o service_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o paul_n exhort_v we_o to_o depart_v from_o every_o brother_n which_o walk_v inordinate_o because_o a_o little_a

body_n hurt_n and_o hinder_v the_o nourishment_n thereof_o this_o be_v the_o excess_n of_o worldly_a delight_n which_o though_o otherwise_o lawful_a yet_o immoderate_o use_v become_v a_o bait_n and_o

we_o desire_v to_o nourish_v and_o cherish_v our_o spiritual_a life_n which_o be_v infuse_v in_o we_o in_o our_o regeneration_n we_o must_v wary_o shun_v all_o wicked_a society_n we_o must_v careful_o
