without_o any_o mixture_n of_o sin_n i_o may_v have_v hope_v for_o entire_a health_n but_o since_o i_o have_v intersperse_v my_o obedience_n with_o many_o sinful_a fayling_n and_o enormity_n why_o

a_o fantastical_a zealot_n it_o be_v not_o the_o intent_n of_o grace_n to_o mould_n our_o body_n anew_o but_o to_o make_v use_n of_o they_o as_o it_o find_v we_o the_o disposition_n of_o man_n much_o follow_v the_o temper_n of_o their_o bodily_a humour_n this_o mixture_n of_o humour_n wrought_v upon_o by_o grace_n cause_v that_o strange_a variety_n which_o we_o see_v in_o profession_n pretend_o

nothing_o but_o position_n and_o practice_n of_o severe_a austerity_n when_o contrary_o upon_o the_o cheerful_a and_o lively_a all_o draw_v towards_o liberty_n and_o joy_n those_o thought_n do_v now_o please_v best_a which_o enlarge_v the_o heart_n to_o mirth_n and_o contentation_n it_o be_v the_o great_a improvement_n of_o christian_a wisdom_n to_o distinguish_v in_o all_o profession_n betwixt_o grace_n and_o humour_n to_o give_v god_n his_o own_o glory_n and_o man_n their_o own_o infirmity_n ciii_o upon_o the_o sight_n of_o a_o scavenger_n work_v in_o the_o channel_n the_o wise_a providence_n of_o god_n have_v fit_v man_n with_o spirit_n answerable_a to_o their_o condition_n if_o mean_a man_n shall_v bear_v the_o mind_n of_o great_a lord_n no_o servile_a work_n will_v be_v

and_o can_v give_v i_o sight_n when_o i_o want_v it_o but_o only_o clear_v that_o sight_n which_o i_o have_v no_o more_o can_v these_o glass_n of_o the_o creature_n of_o scripture_n of_o favour_n
