the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n the_o advance_n of_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o the_o great_a concernment_n unto_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o ever_o you_o can_v be_v employ_v

to_o you_o i_o fear_v not_o to_o speak_v ●_z it_o to_o wise_a man_n that_o the_o four_o sea_n of_o england_n and_o if_o to_o they_o be_v add_v wall_n of_o brass_n of_o 20._o cubit_n high_a and_o

a_o curse_n to_o the_o minister_n of_o israel_n that_o they_o heal_v the_o wound_n of_o the_o people_n slight_o therefore_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v plain_a english_a search_n god_n word_n and_o find_v not_o what_o may_v be_v agreeable_a to_o human_a policy_n but_o search_v what_o god_n will_v have_v you_o own_o and_o set_v up_o what_o he_o will_v have_v you_o oppose_v and_o what_o he_o will_v have_v you_o beat_v down_o what_o he_o will_v have_v you_o indulge_v how_o far_o he_o will_v have_v you_o indulge_v it_o by_o what_o rule_v it_o shall_v be_v do_v get_v a_o clear_a light_n in_o
