as_o to_o the_o attainment_n of_o they_o all_z man_n act_n according_a as_o their_o knowledge_n be_v but_o with_o some_o it_o be_v imagination_n or_o falsehood_n when_o other_o do_v apprehend_v the_o

what_o arise_v to_o himself_o in_o his_o next_o and_o uppermost_a thought_n other_o do_v make_v the_o word_n of_o god_n their_o set_n and_o constant_a rule_n and_o also_o they_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o silent_a and_o inward_a dictate_v of_o the_o spirit_n now_o indeed_o all_o the_o day_n of_o a_o man_n life_n here_o on_o earth_n do_v pass_v away_o like_o a_o shadow_n and_o so_o it_o be_v as_o to_o the_o good_a or_o evil_n the_o conveniency_n or_o inconveniency_n the_o comfort_n or_o irksomeness_n of_o they_o both_o be_v but_o little_a and_o it_o soon_o pass_v away_o but_o then_o at_o last_o

always_o in_o thy_o eye_n and_o thou_o will_v never_o go_v much_o astray_o and_o so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o where_o some_o do_v good_a and_o other_o do_v evil_a some_o behave_v themselves_o right_o in_o such_o a_o matter_n and_o other_o behave_v themselves_o wrong_a it_o happen_v thus_o according_a to_o the_o different_a measure_n of_o knowledge_n which_o they_o have_v moreover_o that_o
