kind_n of_o man_n can_v be_v such_o complete_a and_o neat_a knave_n as_o a_o jesuit_n a_o pharisee_n a_o old_a well-studied-professor_n of_o religion_n and_o also_o his_o bold_a speech_n that_o he_o know_v their_o way_n and_o heart_n his_o answer_n contain_v a_o threaten_n to_o shame_v they_o for_o iniquity_n of_o holy_a thing_n and_o to_o show_v the_o abomination_n of_o their_o reformation_n 1._o he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o their_o sin_n to_o carry_v out_o principle_n of_o goodness_n and_o tenderness_n to_o all_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v jehoshaphat_n fail_v and_o the_o lord_n blame_v he_o

in_o your_o turn_n now_o you_o turn_v not_o to_o god_n the_o answer_n be_v if_o god_n justify_v who_o can_v condemn_v his_o heap_n up_o reproachful_a word_n prove_v nothing_o only_o argue_v a_o ill_a govern_a tongue_n 3._o be_v the_o fight_n of_o sin_n and_o godly_a sorrow_n for_o it_o a_o miserable_a and_o dark_a principle_n and_o a_o very_a wicked_a practice_n we_o know_v better_o the_o apostle_n say_v if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o we_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o remonstrance_n they_o speak_v as_o saint_n and_o true_a christian_n when_o they_o say_v we_o find_v matter_n of_o acknowledgement_n before_o the_o lord_n concerning_o our_o error_n frailty_n unbelief_n for_o indeed_o the_o day_n of_o faith_n be_v
