the_o saint_n do_v too_o often_o close_o with_o bad_a company_n which_o hurry_v they_o aside_o from_o the_o way_n of_o god_n why_o 36._o jer._n 2._o 36._o gadde_v thou_o about_o so_o much_o to_o

believer_n be_v apt_a to_o ascribe_v their_o stand_n to_o themselves_o this_o cause_v god_n to_o leave_v they_o to_o themselves_o god_n will_v rather_o have_v his_o child_n stumble_v than_o that_o

believer_n be_v too_o adventurous_a they_o be_v foolhardy_a and_o will_v now_o and_o then_o be_v walk_v upon_o the_o water_n god_n will_v rather_o see_v his_o child_n sink_v up_o to_o the_o knee_n than_o see_v they_o so_o fond_o presumptuous_a they_o do_v not_o always_o follow_v god_n god_n do_v not_o always_o in_o the_o same_o degree_n communicate_v his_o power_n to_o they_o and_o upon_o this_o twofold_a account_n it_o be_v that_o they_o wander_v for_o a_o time_n both_o in_o point_n of_o judgement_n and_o in_o point_n of_o practice_n thus_o i_o have_v with_o what_o brevity_n and_o
