in_o performance_n of_o their_o duty_n and_o first_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o they_o love_v their_o own_o tradition_n better_a than_o they_o do_v god_n express_v command_n there_o be_v many_o learned_a man_n and_o st._n hierom_n among_o the_o rest_n that_o think_v god_n do_v not_o command_v they_o to_o make_v phylactery_n but_o only_o careful_o to_o remember_v the_o law_n deut._n 6.8_o 9_o and_o yet_o they_o be_v more_o careful_a to_o have_v these_o script_n of_o parchment_n about_o they_o then_o to_o have_v the_o law_n of_o god_n write_v on_o their_o heart_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o

it_o so_o theophylact_v interpret_v it_o if_o they_o can_v but_o say_v that_o they_o have_v devote_v all_o that_o as_o a_o gift_n to_o god_n whereby_o they_o may_v do_v they_o any_o good_a mat._n

you_o may_v observe_v in_o the_o pharisee_n be_v this_o that_o they_o love_v action_n of_o devotion_n to_o god_n better_a than_o action_n of_o mercy_n and_o equity_n to_o man_n that_o you_o may_v see_v by_o their_o long_a prayer_n mat._n 23.14_o and_o their_o corban_n or_o gift_n they_o offer_v to_o god_n just_a now_o mention_v there_o be_v more_o of_o pomp_n and_o fame_n but_o less_o of_o

and_o therefore_o three_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o of_o all_o action_n of_o piety_n they_o choose_v those_o that_o be_v most_o outward_a and_o do_v with_o least_o trouble_n as_o to_o pray_v they_o be_v much_o addict_v but_o with_o meditation_n inward_a admiration_n of_o god_n &_o adoration_n of_o his_o excellency_n we_o may_v be_v sure_o they_o be_v little_o acquaint_v and_o just_o so_o now_o it_o be_v man_n think_v that_o action_n of_o piety_n merit_v more_o of_o god_n than_o other_o do_v and_o that_o he_o be_v so_o please_v with_o they_o that_o he_o can_v be_v content_a if_o they_o overlook_v other_o while_o they_o be_v so_o very_a kind_n to_o he_o and_o therefore_o mercy_n and_o kindness_n to_o other_o be_v mere_a stranger_n to_o they_o and_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o man_n have_v rather_o pray_v with_o other_o then_o alone_o by_o themselves_o and_o they_o account_v it_o a_o great_a attainment_n to_o be_v a_o speaker_n in_o a_o congregation_n then_o to_o be_v humble_a and_o lowly-hearted_n they_o be_v stranger_n to_o inward_a and_o deep_a thought_n of_o god_n for_o if_o they_o be_v acquaint_v with_o his_o holiness_n and_o goodness_n they_o will_v mind_v nothing_o
