not_o know_v from_o whence_o they_o come_v nor_o yield_a obedience_n to_o that_o which_o raise_v they_o they_o soon_o decay_v and_o die_v then_o the_o enemy_n seek_v to_o get_v room_n and_o

i_o have_v offend_v the_o lord_n the_o enemy_n step_v in_o to_o give_v i_o a_o false_a ease_n and_o pervert_v the_o scripture_n he_o say_v god_n be_v merciful_a to_o a_o sinner_n at_o what_o time_n

a_o king_n of_o france_n who_o use_v when_o he_o have_v swear_v a_o oath_n to_o kiss_v his_o crucifix_n and_o then_o swear_v again_o and_o kiss_v it_o again_o and_o my_o condition_n be_v represent_v

my_o peace_n exceed_o so_o that_o i_o can_v not_o go_v on_o with_o that_o delight_n i_o have_v do_v before_o but_o the_o enemy_n have_v still_o something_o at_o hand_n to_o uphold_v his_o kingdom_n in_o i_o and_o he_o bring_v these_o carnal_a reason_n into_o my_o mind_n that_o most_o people_n who_o know_v i_o look_v upon_o i_o to_o be_v a_o sober_a man_n and_o that_o this_o be_v but_o a_o small_a sin_n and_o be_v no_o scandal_n to_o i_o nor_o be_v it_o any_o occasion_n or_o encouragement_n to_o other_o to_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v know_v to_o none_o but_o myself_o and_o that_o i_o must_v not_o expect_v to_o live_v without_o sin_n for_o say_v he_o we_o do_v not_o read_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o any_o that_o ever_o do_v thus_o he_o add_v more_o weight_n to_o that_o burden_n which_o my_o poor_a soul_n be_v weary_a of_o before_o and_o all_o my_o seem_o religious_a performance_n can_v not_o ease_v my_o wound_a conscience_n be_v close_o pursue_v by_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o i_o but_o not_o have_v a_o true_a knowledge_n of_o that_o which_o do_v reprove_v i_o and_o so_o not_o turn_v at_o the_o reproof_n i_o do_v daily_o yield_v to_o the_o enemy_n temptation_n and_o be_v lead_v captive_a by_o he_o at_o his_o will_n and_o so_o customary_a and_o habitual_a it_o be_v become_v to_o i_o that_o i_o then_o think_v i_o can_v as_o well_o have_v live_v without_o meat_n or_o

hear_v some_o of_o the_o world_n priest_n say_v such_o condemnation_n proceed_v from_o the_o devil_n i_o be_v still_o further_o ensnare_v but_o now_o i_o know_v they_o to_o be_v liar_n that_o have_v say_v so_o and_o i_o testify_v there_o be_v something_o of_o god_n in_o all_o man_n which_o at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o do_v reprove_v and_o condemn_v they_o for_o their_o sin_n in_o order_n to_o recover_v they_o out_o of_o they_o for_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o leave_v himself_o without_o a_o witness_n in_o all_o man_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v believe_v and_o by_o believe_v may_v come_v to_o obtain_v the_o salvation_n of_o their_o immortal_a soul_n which_o my_o soul_n desire_v after_o and_o though_o the_o enemy_n have_v say_v that_o none_o of_o the_o holy_a man_n who_o write_v the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v free_a from_o sin_n yet_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n say_v walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o thou_o shall_v not_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n gal._n 5.16_o then_o do_v the_o enemy_n bring_v more_o scripture_n to_o hold_v i_o still_o under_o his_o power_n and_o by_o pervert_v those_o scripture_n he_o raise_v up_o his_o seeming-religious_a prop_n in_o i_o thereby_o to_o support_v his_o kingdom_n as_o he_o do_v in_o many_o at_o this_o day_n who_o make_v a_o great_a profession_n in_o word_n and_o talk_n much_o of_o god_n as_o i_o then_o can_v do_v but_o do_v not_o know_v he_o any_o more_o than_o they_o do_v now_o for_o the_o natural_a man_n understand_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n it_o be_v true_o so_o though_o man_n please_v themselves_o with_o
