the_o lord_n deliver_v we_o from_o such_o wit_n and_o learning_n be_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o refuse_v heaven_n and_o choose_v hell_n in_o the_o certain_a cause_n to_o lose_v the_o only_a day_n of_o

to_o find_v that_o every_o where_o the_o religious_a godly_a sort_n of_o people_n who_o do_v but_o exercise_v a_o serious_a care_n of_o their_o own_o and_o other_o man_n salvation_n be_v make_v the_o

commandment_n of_o god_n to_o be_v their_o law_n and_o the_o same_o petition_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n to_o be_v their_o desire_n and_o so_o profess_v the_o same_o religion_n do_v every_o where_o

be_v impudent_a hypocrisy_n in_o the_o ungodly_a worldly_a sort_n of_o man_n to_o take_v they_o for_o the_o most_o intolerable_a person_n in_o the_o land_n who_o be_v but_o serious_a in_o their_o own_o religion_n and_o do_v but_o endeavour_v to_o perform_v what_o all_o their_o enemy_n also_o vow_v and_o promise_v if_o religion_n be_v bad_a and_o our_o faith_n be_v not_o true_a why_o do_v these_o man_n profess_v it_o if_o it_o be_v true_a and_o good_a why_o do_v they_o hate_v and_o revile_v they_o that_o will_v live_v in_o the_o serious_a practice_n of_o it_o if_o they_o will_v not_o practice_v it_o themselves_o but_o we_o must_v not_o expect_v reason_n when_o sin_n and_o sensuality_n have_v make_v man_n unreasonable_a but_o i_o must_v profess_v that_o since_o i_o observe_v the_o course_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o concord_n of_o the_o word_n and_o providence_n of_o god_n i_o take_v it_o for_o a_o notable_a proof_n of_o man_n fall_n and_o of_o the_o verity_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o supernatural_a original_a of_o true_a sanctification_n to_o find_v such_o a_o universal_a enmity_n between_o the_o holy_a and_o the_o serpentine_a seed_n and_o to_o find_v

day_n it_o be_v a_o great_a and_o visible_a help_n for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o our_o christian_n faith._n but_o that_o which_o be_v much_o remarkable_a in_o it_o be_v that_o nothing_o else_o in_o the_o world_n except_o the_o cross_v of_o man_n carnal_a interest_n do_v meet_v with_o any_o such_o universal_a enmity_n a_o man_n may_v be_v as_o learned_a as_o he_o can_v and_o no_o man_n hate_v he_o for_o it_o if_o he_o excel_v all_o other_o all_o man_n will_v praise_v he_o and_o proclaim_v his_o excellency_n he_o may_v be_v a_o excellent_a linguist_n a_o excellent_a philosopher_n a_o
