by_o mean_n thereof_o a_o wonderful_a delusion_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n 2._o other_o come_v high_a perhaps_o in_o a_o outward_a civility_n and_o a_o external_a act_n in_o the_o use_n of_o

to_o their_o own_o undo_n for_o this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v suitable_a to_o nature_n to_o act_v in_o these_o low_a and_o formal_a way_n after_o the_o doctrine_n and_o precept_n of_o man_n or_o after_o the_o fleshly_a imagination_n of_o the_o vain_a and_o deceitful_a heart_n and_o not_o after_o christ_n 3._o other_o come_v high_a than_o this_o into_o a_o universal_a as_o they_o suppose_v

to_o be_v much_o in_o duty_n and_o this_o without_o all_o peradventure_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v they_o holy_a never_o look_v after_o that_o internal_a spirit_n of_o holiness_n which_o occasion_n
