though_o i_o exclude_v not_o other_o sinner_n who_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o david_n sin_n be_v no_o not_o any_o the_o least_o sinner_n because_o though_o some_o sin_n be_v mortal_a some_o

never_o so_o little_a and_o so_o they_o also_o may_v take_v benefit_n by_o these_o my_o discourse_n i_o have_v live_v long_o out_o of_o my_o country_n and_o so_o know_v not_o who_o be_v the_o great_a who_o the_o lesser_a sinner_n yet_o this_o i_o know_v in_o general_a that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v many_o &_o great_a sinner_n in_o england_n because_o where_o there_o be_v ill-beleever_n there_o ordinary_o be_v ill_a liver_n and_o where_o there_o be_v many_o believer_n as_o there_o be_v in_o england_n there_o be_v many_o ill_a believer_n true_a faith_n and_o belief_n be_v but_o one_o and_o consequent_o many_o ill_a liver_n true_a faith_n be_v the_o rule_n &_o square_v of_o good_a life_n for_o although_o sometime_o true_a and_o good_a believer_n be_v not_o good_a liver_n because_o they_o live_v not_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o religion_n and_o sometime_o ill_a believer_n do_v live_v well_o morallie_o because_o guide_v by_o god_n his_o grace_n which_o be_v want_v to_o none_o they_o follow_v natural_a reason_n and_o their_o own_o virtuous_a inclination_n and_o disposition_n not_o the_o precept_n of_o their_o religion_n yet_o ordinary_o ill_a believer_n be_v not_o good_a liver_n &_o at_o least_o amongst_o good_a believer_n you_o shall_v find_v more_o good_a liver_n then_o amongst_o ill_a believer_n wherefore_o these_o my_o paraphrastical_a

all_o to_o peruse_v these_o discourse_n 1._o rom._n 1._o i_o abstain_v from_o controversy_n in_o religion_n lest_o i_o shall_v avert_v any_o from_o the_o read_n of_o they_o only_o in_o paraphrase_v the_o last_o two_o verse_n of_o this_o psalm_n occasion_n be_v offer_v i_o speak_v of_o the_o unbloodie_a and_o daily_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o altar_n but_o so_o that_o i_o rather_o touch_v it_o then_o handle_v it_o mention_v it_o then_o treat_v of_o it_o suppose_v it_o then_o prove_v it_o in_o that_o manner_n as_o i_o may_v hope_v that_o this_o doctrine_n now_o will_v not_o be_v distasteful_a for_o see_v that_o now_o in_o england_n in_o very_a many_o church_n altar_n which_o heretofore_o be_v throw_v down_o be_v again_o erect_v according_a to_o the_o laudable_a example_n and_o pious_a use_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o catholic_a &_o even_o primitive_a church_n to_o aver_v a_o true_a sacrifice_n will_v not_o be_v ill_o take_v because_o to_o allow_v of_o altar_n be_v to_o

and_o so_o the_o one_o can_v not_o be_v aver_v without_o the_o other_o nor_o the_o one_o deny_v without_o the_o other_o and_o although_o as_o i_o say_v there_o want_n not_o book_n of_o piety_n &_o
