temptation_n which_o hefail_v we_o in_o our_o pilgrimage_n a_o man_n in_o his_o pure_a natu_fw-la ral_n will_v swell_v against_o this_o doctrine_n because_o he_o feel_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o

alike_o to_o he_o he_o see_v no_o difference_n between_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o hold_v on_o in_o a_o doubt_a hope_n in_o a_o confuse_a disposition_n and_o temper_n of_o soul_n to_o his_o dying-day_n but_o a_o christian_n that_o labour_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v rest_v in_o such_o a_o unsettle_a estate_n he_o dare_v not_o venture_v his_o
