that_o be_v uneven_a out_o of_o falseness_n of_o heart_n and_o not_o weakness_n of_o grace_n they_o never_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n i_o find_v that_o to_o be_v the_o scripture_n rule_v in_o the_o eight_o chapter_n of_o saint_n luke_n in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o seed_n you_o shall_v see_v it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o three_o ground_n which_o go_v further_a of_o the_o three_o that_o it_o

now_o a_o thing_n must_v be_v ripe_a before_o it_o can_v be_v call_v good_a fruit_n they_o never_o bring_v forth_o ripe_a fruit_n that_o be_v fruit_n indeed_o they_o bring_v forth_o sour_a grape_n isaiah_n 5._o i_o do_v thus_o and_o thus_o to_o my_o vineyard_n and_o it_o bring_v forth_o wild_a grape_n it_o may_v be_v to_o man_n seem_a they_o be_v as_o good_a as_o any_o they_o may_v look_v as_o

with_o patience_n now_o it_o be_v true_a of_o all_o the_o saint_n though_o they_o be_v weak_a yet_o they_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n and_o true_a and_o ripe_a and_o pleasant_a fruit_n such_o as_o god_n

if_o there_o be_v another_o new_a nature_n put_v into_o we_o then_o expect_v a_o combat_n for_o certain_o new_a and_o old_a will_v not_o agree_v together_o you_o can_v put_v two_o contrary_n
