sufficient_a care_n to_o resist_v &_o reform_v this_o fault_n in_o themselves_o have_v be_v shameful_o foil_v by_o satan_n and_o draw_v sometime_o to_o most_o unjust_a and_o discommendable_a course_n

a_o marvellous_a cure_n and_o that_o in_o a_o short_a space_n wrought_v upon_o his_o heart_n first_o then_o the_o main_a and_o principal_a procreant_a cause_n of_o covetousness_n be_v two_o error_n in_o the_o understanding_n or_o judgement_n for_o indeed_o such_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o affection_n that_o they_o do_v seldom_o or_o never_o offend_v but_o through_o the_o former_a faultinesse_n of_o the_o mind_n seldom_o do_v the_o desire_n or_o love_n or_o hatred_n overshoote_a themselves_o but_o through_o the_o deceit_n of_o the_o understanding_n part_n that_o be_v first_o disorder_v itself_o disorder_v those_o that_o be_v as_o servant_n to_o it_o overhastie_a to_o the_o worst_a and_o over-slow_a in_o the_o best_a action_n and_o in_o the_o particular_a therefore_o the_o desire_n be_v inordinate_o and_o unlawful_o carry_v after_o wealth_n because_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o mind_n mistake_v it_o mark_v in_o these_o two_o respect_n first_o it_o do_v not_o apprehend_v in_o god_n such_o abundance_n of_o power_n and_o will_v to_o save_v help_v and_o deliver_v as_o indeed_o there_o be_v in_o he_o and_o every_o man_n shall_v acknowledge_v in_o he_o and_o so_o the_o mind_n be_v by_o this_o falsehood_n drive_v from_o the_o strong_a hold_n of_o god_n name_n be_v fain_o to_o cast_v about_o for_o some_o other_o place_n of_o defence_n and_o then_o wealth_n offer_v itself_o to_o help_v as_o the_o bramble_n to_o the_o king_n over_o the_o tree_n &_o the_o mind_n still_o dazzle_v and_o judge_v after_o the_o appearance_n of_o thing_n not_o after_o the_o truth_n do_v conceive_v that_o riches_n be_v indeed_o able_a to_o help_v now_o upon_o these_o two_o gross_a mistake_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o desire_n which_o be_v ready_o press_v to_o pursue_v that_o which_o be_v esteem_v helpful_a and_o profitable_a set_v forward_o itself_o with_o all_o
