the_o absurdity_n of_o that_o base_a reflection_n cast_v upon_o it_o by_o many_o who_o profess_v to_o teach_v other_o the_o way_n of_o god_n who_o say_v it_o be_v a_o natural_a light_n in_o

for_o their_o inward_a thought_n word_n and_o deed_n and_o yet_o they_o call_v this_o natural_a and_o cry_v down_o the_o spirituality_n of_o it_o as_o from_o christ_n jesus_n and_o so_o derogate_v
