of_o his_o bone_n it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o service_n of_o christ_n but_o you_o will_v say_v object_n the_o service_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v sweet_a we_o see_v man_n continue_v to_o be_v his_o

word_n sour_a 1._o it_o will_v one_o day_n be_v sour_a it_o seem_v sweet_a to_o man_n but_o it_o will_v be_v sour_a one_o day_n and_o beside_o though_o it_o be_v sweet_a to_o they_o distemper_n 2._o that_o sweetness_n be_v from_o distemper_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o sweetness_n that_o arise_v from_o their_o sickness_n and_o distemper_n as_o a_o child_n e_o that_o will_v eat_v no_o meat_n sometime_o

and_o the_o service_n of_o the_o devil_n it_o be_v a_o evil_a humour_n and_o corruption_n that_o make_v we_o find_v that_o sweetness_n but_o the_o main_a reason_n be_v this_o service_n 3._o it_o be_v

the_o service_n of_o christ_n i_o dare_v say_v if_o there_o be_v no_o heaven_n nor_o hell_n if_o thou_o do_v know_v the_o sweetness_n and_o comfort_n in_o the_o service_n of_o christ_n thou_o will_v

i_o remember_v a_o godly_a bless_a man_n that_o when_o carnal_a man_n make_v bonefite_n and_o the_o minister_n will_v have_v reprove_v they_o to_o see_v what_o a_o stir_v they_o make_v on_o a_o

they_o so_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o weep_v for_o their_o joy_n so_o the_o pleasure_n and_o comfort_n thou_o have_v in_o the_o service_n of_o the_o devil_n the_o lord_n pity_v thou_o it_o be_v only_o

they_o be_v but_o few_o they_o be_v but_o wooden_a leg_n they_o never_o draw_v sap_n and_o sweetness_n from_o christ_n they_o be_v never_o true_o member_n of_o christ_n they_o do_v but_o hang_v on_o
