lord_n in_o that_o day_n i_o rather_o leave_v to_o the_o lord_n than_o determine_v object_n but_o some_o perhaps_o may_v say_v they_o be_v not_o reprove_v for_o it_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o evil_a

rise_n from_o god_n but_o from_o man_n of_o corrupt_a mind_n as_o will_n very_o ready_o appear_v if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v that_o no_o people_n or_o nation_n but_o those_o call_a christian_n since_o the_o apostasy_n do_v practice_v it_o for_o neither_o the_o jew_n who_o have_v their_o outward_a law_n both_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n &_o respect_n to_o magistrate_n

below_o make_v for_o cover_v the_o nakedness_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o clothes_n and_o with_o which_o god_n nor_o man_n neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v true_o worship_v more_o than_o by_o put_v

the_o more_o well-pleasing_a or_o acceptable_a to_o the_o lord_n but_o be_v far_o below_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n yea_o or_o dignity_n of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v a_o man_n indeed_o and_o
