take_v a_o few_o word_n to_o guide_v his_o life_n by_o let_v he_o remember_v now_o and_o then_o what_o s._n paul_n teach_v he_o in_o the_o 5_o chapt._n to_o the_o galatian_n where_o he_o reckon_v up_o

by_o it_o or_o else_o they_o will_v be_v find_v to_o deviate_v very_o wide_o from_o what_o the_o apostle_n teach_v we_o judge_v not_o lest_o you_o be_v judge_v sound_v very_o dreadful_o and_o severe_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o narrow_a principle_n and_o uncharitable_a construction_n of_o almost_o every_o party_n of_o mankind_n how_o do_v every_o man_n now_o think_v it_o prudence_n to_o think_v

what_o manner_n this_o mystery_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v i_o as_o little_o perplex_v my_o thought_n as_o how_o three_o can_v be_v one_o how_o god_n can_v be_v incarnate_a of_o a_o virgin_n or_o how_o we_o shall_v rise_v again_o with_o the_o same_o numerical_a body_n that_o have_v by_o long_a succession_n serve_v to_o nourish_v one_o another_o or_o be_v corrupt_v into_o as_o many_o form_n

our_o own_o persuasion_n we_o may_v as_o soon_o expect_v to_o have_v a_o clear_a idea_n of_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n the_o frame_n of_o angel_n or_o the_o essence_n of_o our_o own_o soul_n as_o to_o
