against_o preach_v of_o god_n word_n that_o it_o make_v man_n never_o the_o better_a and_o you_o will_v have_v they_o leave_v talk_v and_o fall_v to_o do_v i_o confess_v there_o be_v a_o number_n which_o be_v counterfeit_a professor_n which_o live_v not_o according_a to_o the_o gospel_n and_o most_o common_o they_o be_v such_o as_o have_v but_o a_o little_a smack_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o think_v they_o know_v much_o because_o they_o want_v the_o mean_n have_v the_o word_n either_o seldom_o or_o loose_o preach_v but_o i_o will_v confute_v your_o vanity_n another_o way_n in_o

by_o word_n reproove_v your_o evil_a way_n or_o by_o deed_n refuse_v your_o lewd_a manner_n these_o man_n be_v full_a of_o the_o spirit_n these_o be_v precise_a fellow_n these_o be_v holy_a saint_n these_o think_v themselves_o god_n fellow_n these_o think_v themselves_o better_a than_o all_o other_o man_n ath._n we_o say_v so_o in_o deed_n there_o be_v good_a cause_n why_o zealot_n then_o i_o

of_o the_o spirit_n over_o precise_a and_o such_o like_a may_v not_o every_o man_n see_v that_o you_o pronounce_v thing_n direct_o contrary_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o that_o there_o be_v no_o

man_n by_o due_a instruction_n out_o of_o god_n word_n come_v to_o repentance_n of_o their_o former_a vice_n and_o have_v a_o care_n to_o keep_v themselves_o from_o the_o spot_v of_o the_o rot_a

now_o a_o day_n for_o to_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n while_o a_o man_n do_v walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n in_o the_o lust_n of_o uncleanness_n he_o be_v a_o

skin_n and_o as_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n of_o dishonour_n and_o shame_n you_o mock_v man_n with_o he_o we_o may_v wonder_v at_o the_o long_a patience_n of_o god_n which_o have_v thus_o many_o year_n suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v dishonour_v his_o spirit_n revile_v his_o word_n despise_v and_o have_v not_o be_v revenge_v but_o no_o doubt_n the_o long_o he_o have_v ●aried_v the_o heavy_a will_v the_o stroke_n be_v ath._n man_n be_v man_n what_o shall_v they_o make_v themselves_o more_o holy_a than_o they_o be_v zealot_n if_o you_o mean_v one_o way_n you_o say_v right_a for_o it_o be_v a_o naughty_a vice_n for_o man_n to_o seem_v to_o be_v holy_a when_o they_o be_v not_o or_o to_o seem_v to_o be_v more_o holy_a than_o they_o be_v but_o if_o you_o mean_v another_o way_n as_o i_o think_v you_o do_v that_o because_o man_n be_v sinful_a by_o nature_n why_o shall_v they_o seek_v for_o to_o be_v better_o then_o do_v you_o speak_v very_o wicked_o for_o god_n call_v man_n to_o repentance_n to_o turn_v from_o their_o evil_a way_n god_n guide_v his_o servant_n at_o all_o time_n with_o his_o spirit_n therefore_o s._n paul_n say_v rom._n 8._o there_o
