there_o appear_v to_o be_v no_o more_o with_o the_o man_n but_o only_o the_o notion_n of_o thing_n for_o though_o the_o notion_n of_o thing_n be_v those_o that_o of_o god_n be_v make_v the_o mean_n

which_o puff_v up_o instead_o of_o enable_v the_o soul_n after_o a_o godly_a manner_n to_o depend_v upon_o god_n for_o mercy_n through_o christ._n this_o be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o they_o that_o

be_v bear_v but_o here_o again_o the_o natural_a man_n with_o his_o notion_n of_o thing_n be_v offend_v and_o take_v pett_a against_o his_o friend_n because_o he_o tell_v he_o the_o truth_n and_o will_v that_o he_o so_o shall_v digest_v the_o truth_n that_o it_o may_v prove_v unto_o he_o eternal_a life_n wherefore_o he_o now_o begin_v to_o fall_v out_o again_o for_o as_o yet_o the_o enmity_n
