of_o faith_n for_o the_o apostle_n say_v our_o foot_n must_v be_v shod_a with_o the_o preparation_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o peace_n the_o truth_n of_o it_o be_v the_o author_n be_v somewhat_o

upon_o this_o subject_n but_o if_o you_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o hear_v any_o more_o of_o this_o stuff_n i_o shall_v refer_v you_o to_o the_o learned_a and_o judicious_a author_n of_o the_o friendly_a debate_n who_o particular_o have_v at_o large_a discover_v the_o intolerable_a foolery_n of_o this_o way_n of_o talk_v i_o shall_v only_o add_v thus_o much_o that_o such_o as_o go_v about_o to_o fetch_v blood_n into_o their_o pale_a and_o lean_a discourse_n by_o the_o help_n of_o their_o brisk_a and_o sparkle_a similitude_n ought_v well_o to_o consider_v whether_o their_o similitude_n be_v true_a i_o be_o confident_a sir_n you_o have_v hear_v it_o many_o and_o many_o a_o time_n or_o if_o need_v be_v i_o can_v show_v it_o in_o a_o book_n that_o when_o the_o preacher_n happen_v to_o talk_v how_o that_o the_o thing_n here_o below_o will_v not_o satisfy_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n then_o come_v in_o the_o round_a world_n which_o can_v fill_v the_o triangular_a heart_n of_o man_n whereas_o every_o butcher_n know_v that_o the_o heart_n be_v no_o more_o triangular_a than_o a_o ordinary_a pear_n or_o a_o child_n top_n but_o because_o triangular_a be_v a_o hard_a word_n and_o perhaps_o a_o jest_n therefore_o people_n have_v steal_v it_o one_o from_o another_o these_o two_o or_o three_o hundred_o year_n and_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v much_o long_o for_o i_o can_v direct_v to_o the_o first_o inventor_n of_o the_o fancy_n in_o like_a manner_n they_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o thing_n either_o in_o the_o heaven_n or_o belong_v to_o the_o earth_n have_v be_v find_v out_o

the_o moon_n mercury_n and_o venus_n to_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o violin_n or_o treble_n to_o jupiter_n and_o saturn_n and_o that_o the_o sun_n and_o mars_n supply_v the_o room_n of_o tenor_n the_o

thus_o sir_n you_o shall_v have_v they_o take_v that_o of_o st._n paul_n about_o faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n and_o instead_o of_o a_o sober_a instruct_v the_o people_n in_o those_o eminent_a and_o
