thou_o and_o do_v not_o i_o rise_v up_o against_o they_o that_o rise_v up_o against_o thou_o yea_o i_o hate_v they_o right_n sore_o as_o if_o they_o be_v my_o enemy_n if_o thou_o love_v the_o

that_o law_n such_o must_v not_o dwell_v with_o thou_o such_o must_v not_o tarry_v in_o thy_o sight_n do_v thou_o think_v that_o he_o can_v prove_v faithful_a to_o thou_o that_o prove_v faithless_a to_o god_n or_o can_v thou_o endure_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v grace_v by_o thy_o countenance_n that_o lay_v a_o reproach_n upon_o thy_o religion_n it_o be_v more_o than_o christian_a patience_n such_o be_v never_o in_o david_n such_o be_v never_o in_o joshuah_n we_o count_v he_o no_o love_a subject_n that_o harbour_v those_o who_o despise_v &_o resist_v the_o law_n of_o his_o sovereign_n

that_o despise_a moses_n law_n die_v without_o mercy_n under_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n deu._n 19.15_o mark_v now_o what_o the_o apostle_n infer_v upon_o this_o of_o how_o much_o sore_a punishment_n say_v he_o suppose_v you_o shall_v he_o be_v worthy_a which_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o count_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o testament_n as_o a_o unholy_a thing_n wherewith_o he_o be_v sanctify_v and_o do_v despite_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n hebr_n 10.29_o you_o see_v it_o be_v no_o such_o light_a matter_n to_o fall_v from_o the_o know_a truth_n and_o to_o

if_o they_o be_v do_v in_o another_o world_n and_o do_v no_o whit_n concern_v we_o whilst_o we_o suffer_v that_o gangrene_n of_o heresy_n to_o invade_v our_o family_n oh_o be_v not_o deceive_v every_o
