error_n there_o be_v not_o a_o great_a slave_n among_o the_o turk_n than_o he_o that_o do_v charge_v his_o conscience_n with_o a_o falsehood_n for_o for_o any_o man_n to_o lay_v stress_n where_o god_n

of_o his_o own_o devise_v in_o doctrine_n worship_n or_o discipline_n this_o be_v that_o therefore_o which_o divine_v call_v self-denial_n as_o to_o the_o understanding_n when_o we_o deliver_v up_o

the_o superstitious_a man_n think_v he_o observe_v god_n but_o his_o observance_n be_v a_o neglect_n yea_o a_o abuse_n of_o god_n he_o think_v he_o have_v make_v sure_a of_o god_n when_o he_o have_v bind_v he_o only_o as_o delilah_n do_v samson_n with_o cords_z which_o will_v break_v because_o god_n never_o submit_v to_o they_o he_o imagine_v such_o and_o such_o a_o thing_n but_o it_o be_v all_o nothing_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o care_n of_o error_n therefore_o for_o a_o man_n may_v be_v superstitious_a in_o the_o seem_a good_a use_n of_o scripture_n yea_o where_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v most_o for_o god_n if_o he_o extend_v a_o place_n of_o scripture_n beyond_o its_o sense_n or_o if_o he_o graft_v notion_n upon_o a_o scripture_n which_o neither_o that_o scripture_n nor_o another_o place_n will_v bear_v he_o be_v superstitious_a he_o be_v not_o a_o interpreter_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o make_v new_a scripture_n yea_o though_o those_o notion_n pretend_v to_o holiness_n and_o have_v the_o zeal_n of_o holiness_n write_v on_o their_o forehead_n this_o very_a thing_n be_v to_o lie_v for_o god_n it_o be_v but_o pia_fw-la fraus_fw-la a_o holy_a deceit_n and_o so_o much_o the_o worse_o because_o it_o carry_v with_o it_o such_o a_o pretence_n and_o it_o be_v better_a that_o any_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v expose_v to_o hazard_v than_o that_o we_o shall_v come_v in_o with_o a_o lie_n to_o maintain_v it_o for_o by_o thus_o do_v a_o man_n make_v himself_o the_o master_n of_o truth_n and_o not_o a_o subject_a to_o it_o now_o this_o benefit_n have_v a_o moderate_a man_n for_o the_o
