do_v the_o five_o false_a rest_n the_o next_o rest_n of_o a_o soul_n though_o i_o may_v not_o have_v speak_v of_o it_o because_o i_o have_v partly_o give_v it_o forth_o yet_o that_o thing_n may_v be_v the_o more_o open_v it_o be_v the_o creature_n righteousness_n or_o sanctification_n and_o outward_a holiness_n wherein_o both_o in_o carriage_n and_o word_n he_o do_v most_o sweet_o in_o

true_a holiness_n of_o a_o person_n make_v manifest_a in_o action_n flow_v from_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o soul_n make_v manifest_a in_o the_o spirit_n so_o that_o the_o true_a holiness_n or_o outward_a sanctification_n
transform_v into_o another_o likeness_n the_o cause_n yet_o remain_v which_o of_o the_o two_o consider_v the_o effect_n that_o follow_v as_o namely_o security_n or_o lukewarmness_n or_o fullness_n and_o self_n conceitednesse_n and_o so_o false_a resting_n be_v of_o as_o dangerous_a a_o consequence_n as_o the_o other_o three_o humility_n be_v by_o resemble_v of_o such_o property_n of_o word_n and_o action_n in_o a_o other_o as_o be_v most_o lovely_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o himself_o and_o other_o and_o here_o lie_v a_o sad_a deceit_n when_o man_n do_v only_o resemble_v the_o word_n or_o

cut_v off_o but_o the_o cause_n or_o root_n of_o the_o same_o take_v away_o so_o as_o now_o man_n have_v it_o not_o in_o the_o form_n or_o shape_n but_o in_o power_n and_o substance_n and_o now_o man_n be_v true_o what_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v but_o not_o before_o whereby_o as_o the_o creature_n be_v humble_v so_o god_n be_v exalt_v and_o this_o be_v the_o creature_n joy_n though_o not_o hi●_n
