of_o professor_n i_o will_v the_o rather_o press_v this_o point_n in_o consideration_n of_o two_o respect_n 1._o that_o you_o may_v know_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o method_n of_o satan_n in_o man_n to_o make_v man_n to_o stand_v still_o &_o not_o to_o grow_v for_o he_o can_v be_v content_a to_o let_v man_n have_v a_o religion_n and_o a_o suppose_a true_a religion_n and_o to_o use_v

strong_a man_n yet_o still_o to_o measure_v themselves_o by_o child_n that_o because_o some_o or_o many_o be_v weak_a and_o dark_a than_o they_o therefore_o themselves_o be_v grow_v man_n and_o tall_a
