the_o time_n we_o live_v in_o reas_n 1._o because_o such_o a_o heart_n as_o be_v exercise_v about_o spiritual_a thing_n find_v not_o leisure_n to_o run_v out_o after_o those_o poor_a low_a thing_n which_o other_o trifle_v away_o their_o time_n and_o lose_v themselves_o about_o many_o there_o be_v in_o the_o world_n of_o who_o it_o may_v be_v say_v as_o pharaoh_n once_o say_v of_o the_o

leisure_n which_o because_o they_o will_v be_v do_v and_o find_v nothing_o to_o take_v too_o they_o busy_a themselves_o just_a as_o child_n and_o boy_n do_v when_o they_o be_v idle_a about_o this_o toy_n and_o the_o other_o such_o a_o querk_n and_o such_o a_o query_n their_o time_n and_o thought_n be_v busy_v about_o and_o they_o be_v continual_o fancy_v and_o invent_v new_a notion_n and_o

another_o till_o in_o the_o end_n they_o have_v outrun_v reason_n religion_n and_o all_o whereas_o now_o a_o saint_n which_o have_v his_o heart_n exercise_v about_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v like_o a_o

more_o quicken_v etc._n etc._n though_o he_o shall_v allow_v other_o thing_n no_o time_n at_o all_o because_o to_o a_o heart_n that_o be_v exercise_v about_o spiritual_a thing_n other_o thing_n be_v

there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o curiosity_n and_o of_o the_o varnish_n of_o humane_a wit_n and_o wisdom_n but_o now_o take_v a_o spiritual_a ear_n that_o delight_v to_o hear_v such_o thing_n as_o have_v in_o they_o evidence_n and_o demonstration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n and_o find_v a_o dis-relishing_a of_o other_o thing_n so_o take_v a_o carnal_a eye_n that_o delight_v to_o
