of_o man_n and_o shall_v have_v nothing_o else_o of_o all_o his_o wealth_n and_o pomp_n to_o see_v all_o this_o be_v no_o great_a monstrous_a difficulty_n for_o his_o faith_n now_o though_o while_o

of_o pomp_n advantage_n no_o where_o but_o in_o imagination_n i_o shall_v not_o persuade_v he_o but_o he_o will_v despise_v i_o but_o then_o if_o he_o will_v ask_v his_o faith_n how_o all_o these_o will_v look_v to_o he_o in_o the_o state_n which_o be_v now_o before_o his_o thought_n what_o his_o opinion_n of_o they_o will_v be_v then_o he_o know_v he_o may_v as_o well_o go_v to_o his_o

in_o comparison_n for_o they_o not_o understand_v many_o object_n consequent_o have_v few_o inclination_n and_o their_o satisfaction_n very_o obvious_a whereas_o the_o comprehensive_a mind_n of_o

many_o eager_a affection_n in_o himself_o to_o pursue_v they_o his_o copious_a understanding_n do_v but_o procure_v he_o various_a lust_n and_o his_o reason_n do_v but_o make_v he_o sagacious_a in_o

mind_n attend_v upon_o those_o inclination_n i_o must_v needs_o suffer_v as_o many_o servitude_n as_o the_o world_n have_v change_n of_o temptation_n and_o then_o put_v these_o two_o consideration_n

this_o faith_n here_o in_o the_o text_n we_o must_v not_o count_v it_o hard_o we_o who_o have_v the_o revelation_n and_o example_n of_o the_o bless_a jesus_n all_o that_o he_o have_v do_v to_o make_v
