our_o bless_a saviour_n speak_v in_o this_o case_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o enter_v into_o heaven_n meaning_n such_o a_o rich_a man_n as_o want_v this_o heavenly_a

pleasure_n and_o profit_n of_o sin_n for_o a_o season_n here_o you_o may_v see_v that_o our_o destruction_n be_v of_o ourselves_o in_o that_o our_o corrupt_a and_o greedy_a desire_n do_v entice_v satan_n to_o chaffer_v with_o we_o and_o to_o prevail_v for_o this_o bargain_n here_o you_o have_v the_o policy_n of_o satan_n lively_o discover_v whereby_o he_o draw_v we_o on_o to_o the_o bargain_n and_o hold_v we_o to_o the_o same_o that_o so_o we_o may_v prevent_v his_o subtle_a snare_n and_o delusion_n last_o you_o have_v here_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o bargain_n even_o by_o our_o lord_n
