other_o man_n it_o be_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o writer_n he_o can_v speak_v to_o god_n in_o praise_n or_o to_o other_o in_o experience_n of_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n because_o he_o have_v

the_o trumpet_n of_o the_o word_n sound_v never_o so_o loud_a in_o his_o ear_n these_o thing_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v overmuch_o press_v much_o curiosity_n must_v not_o be_v use_v in_o they_o but_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n raise_v the_o proportion_n from_o these_o thing_n some_o thing_n must_v be_v say_v of_o they_o as_o there_o be_v no_o sense_n nor_o move_n to_o outward_a thing_n immooveable_n so_o no_o outward_a thing_n can_v move_v a_o dead_a body_n offer_v he_o colour_n to_o the_o eye_n food_n to_o the_o taste_n or_o any_o thing_n to_o the_o feel_n nothing_o move_v he_o

not_o a_o carnal_a man_n at_o all_o and_o as_o in_o bodily_a death_n worse_o the_o long_a it_o be_v dead_a the_o more_o noisome_a and_o offensive_a it_o be_v every_o day_n more_o than_o other_o so_o

say_v of_o a_o dead_a body_n it_o be_v heavy_a so_o dead_a soul_n i_o be_o sure_a they_o be_v heavy_a heavy_a to_o god_n and_o to_o christ_n that_o die_v for_o sin_n and_o heavy_a in_o themselves_o they_o sink_v to_o earthly_a thing_n in_o their_o affection_n and_o thereby_o they_o sink_v low_a and_o low_a to_o hell_n and_o never_o leave_v sink_v till_o they_o be_v there_o as_o the_o life_n of_o

every_o way_n these_o thing_n help_v to_o understand_v the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o so_o far_o we_o may_v well_o think_v of_o they_o nature_n if_o this_o be_v so_o i_o beseech_v you_o let_v

only_o blow_v thou_o up_o with_o pride_n and_o set_v thou_o further_o off_o and_o make_v thou_o uncapable_a of_o grace_n if_o thou_o talk_v of_o learning_n the_o devil_n be_v a_o better_a scholar_n than_o any_o man_n he_o know_v matter_n of_o state_n and_o other_o thing_n better_o than_o thou_o do_v and_o yet_o he_o be_v a_o devil_n for_o all_o that_o therefore_o never_o stand_v upon_o these_o

of_o their_o own_o these_o think_v themselves_o the_o only_a man_n when_o indeed_o they_o be_v no_o body_n they_o be_v dead_a loathsome_a creature_n it_o be_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o the_o

to_o be_v a_o separation_n of_o the_o live_n from_o the_o dead_a let_v we_o take_v heed_n in_o our_o amity_n and_o society_n that_o we_o converse_v not_o with_o natural_a man_n too_o much_o that_o
