own_o and_o other_o salvation_n above_o all_o know_v we_o that_o god_n love_v a_o cheerful_a giver_n and_o therefore_o while_o we_o live_v and_o have_v time_n let_v we_o be_v do_v of_o good_a lest_o to_o morrow_n be_v too_o late_o and_o let_v we_o send_v our_o good_n before_o we_o to_o make_v we_o friend_n of_o they_o not_o leave_v they_o behind_o we_o lest_o we_o lose_v the_o comfort_n of_o

our_o bread_n upon_o the_o water_n we_o may_v find_v it_o again_o and_o thus_o of_o these_o delusion_n which_o draw_v man_n to_o this_o bargain_n there_o follow_v another_o sort_n of_o deceit_n

we_o nothing_o for_o so_o his_o word_n imply_v what_o shall_v it_o profit_v a_o man_n that_o it_o as_o much_o to_o say_v he_o shall_v profit_v nothing_o thereby_o profit_n it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a match_n to_o hazard_v the_o soul_n though_o it_o be_v for_o the_o gain_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n reason_n the_o reason_n hereof_o lie_v couch_v in_o the_o word_n themselves_o which_o do_v imply_v two_o thing_n first_o a_o comparison_n of_o the_o price_n with_o the_o thing_n buy_v the_o price_n be_v amplify_v first_o by_o the_o matter_n thereof_o which_o be_v the_o soul_n second_o by_o the_o

with_o we_o when_o these_o thing_n perish_v with_o the_o body_n that_o which_o eternal_o shall_v rue_v this_o bargain_n when_o we_o have_v no_o other_o benefit_n thereof_o out_o of_o which_o two_o circumstance_n the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v infer_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o bargain_n dear_a as_o that_o first_o the_o immortal_a and_o divine_a soul_n be_v make_v a_o price_n for_o these_o fade_a and_o earthly_a thing_n this_o argue_v that_o we_o have_v pay_v more_o for_o they_o then_o they_o be_v worth_a and_o so_o withal_o have_v make_v a_o bad_a market_n second_o that_o when_o as_o in_o other_o bargain_n though_o we_o have_v lose_v at_o one_o time_n recovery_n yet_o we_o may_v help_v ourselves_o in_o another_o yet_o this_o loss_n be_v irrecoverable_a because_o our_o soul_n once_o thus_o lose_v can_v never_o be_v recover_v again_o if_o satan_n have_v once_o get_v hold_v on_o we_o by_o this_o bond_n we_o be_v like_o never_o to_o get_v out_o again_o recover_v because_o it_o be_v a_o bargain_n make_v willing_o and_o with_o great_a advice_n and_o wisdom_n abuse_v religion_n and_o conscience_n to_o the_o drive_v thereof_o and_o reject_v all_o sense_n of_o religion_n and_o common_a honesty_n for_o the_o enjoy_n thereof_o what_o sacrifice_n now_o be_v leave_v for_o sin_n to_o such_o that_o have_v thus_o make_v a_o mock_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o esteem_v base_o of_o his_o blood_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o let_v no_o man_n deceive_v himself_o with_o vain_a conceit_n as_o if_o hell_n will_v be_v satisfy_v or_o god_n mock_v deceit_n do_v he_o think_v to_o wind_v out_o of_o the_o bargain_n by_o deceive_v the_o devil_n with_o this_o trick_n that_o his_o soul_n be_v not_o his_o own_o and_o therefore_o he_o can_v not_o sell_v that_o
