16._o 19_o 9_o and_o so_o it_o sound_v as_o if_o solomon_n have_v say_v there_o be_v a_o religion_n which_o a_o man_n suppose_v to_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o right_a way_n to_o heaven_n but_o

live_v here_o in_o it_o but_o it_o be_v a_o most_o deceitful_a trade_n of_o life_n bring_v a_o man_n to_o death_n dishonour_n and_o destruction_n but_o for_o our_o more_o clear_a understanding_n and_o discern_v of_o this_o point_n we_o will_v speak_v first_o of_o the_o way_n of_o religion_n be_v the_o speculative_a part_n who_o object_n be_v truth_n and_o falsehood_n and_o then_o of_o practice_n be_v the_o active_a part_n who_o object_n be_v good_a and_o bad_a and_o this_o the_o rather_o because_o knowledge_n or_o the_o theory_n better_a suit_n and_o answer_n the_o way_n than_o action_n or_o the_o practic_a and_o action_n more_o proper_o correspond_v to_o our_o passage_n travail_n and_o walk_v in_o that_o way_n so_o for_o doctrine_n we_o will_v only_o speak_v of_o the_o truth_n or_o falsehood_n of_o religion_n and_o will_v reserve_v the_o practic_a part_n our_o life_n our_o manner_n and_o conversation_n for_o the_o use_n and_o application_n of_o those_o point_n of_o doctrine_n which_o from_o hence_o shall_v natural_o and_o proper_o flow_v and_o thus_o much_o for_o subject_n that_o we_o may_v know_v what_o it_o be_v that_o solomon_n veil_v under_o this_o shadow_n the_o way_n 2._o the_o quality_n which_o seem_v right_a this_o be_v the_o quality_n of_o the_o way_n which_o whilst_o solomon_n thus_o describe_v he_o afford_v we_o from_o hence_o a_o fourfold_a division_n according_a to_o that_o common_a proverb_n the_o italian_a seem_v wise_a and_o be_v wise_a the_o spaniard_n seem_v wise_a and_o be_v a_o fool_n the_o french_a seem_v a_o fool_n and_o be_v wise_a and_o the_o english_a seem_v a_o fool_n and_o be_v a_o fool_n so_o here_o there_o be_v a_o way_n which_o seem_v right_a and_o be_v wrong_n and_o to_o that_o be_v oppose_v a_o way_n which_o seem_v wrong_a and_o be_v right_n and_o there_o be_v a_o way_n which_o seem_v wrong_a and_o be_v wrong_n and_o to_o that_o be_v oppose_v a_o way_n which_o seem_v right_a and_o be_v right_n now_o these_o seem_v four_o diverse_a way_n quem_fw-la terminus_n a_o quo_fw-la terminus_n ad_fw-la quem_fw-la but_o indeed_o be_v but_o two_o as_o two_o cross_a or_o overthwart_a way_n seem_v to_o he_o that_o stand_v in_o the_o midst_n to_o be_v four_o yet_o have_v but_o two_o beginning_n and_o two_o end_n so_o here_o the_o difference_n be_v not_o so_o manifold_a in_o the_o subject_n but_o in_o the_o judge_n to_o who_o sight_n these_o way_n appear_v after_o a_o diverse_a manner_n according_a to_o the_o truth_n or_o error_n of_o their_o apprehension_n for_o that_o the_o right_a way_n seem_v wrong_a or_o the_o wrong_a way_n seem_v right_a proceed_v a_o deceptione_n visus_fw-la from_o error_n of_o judgement_n for_o we_o see_v a_o evil_a way_n may_v to_o one_o man_n seem_v right_a and_o yet_o be_v wrong_n and_o the_o same_o way_n to_o another_o may_v both_o seem_v wrong_a and_o be_v wrong_n and_o a_o good_a way_n may_v to_o a_o evil_a sight_n seem_v wrong_a 23._o 1._o sam._n 12._o 23._o and_o yet_o be_v right_a and_o the_o same_o way_n to_o a_o good_a sight_n may_v both_o seem_v right_a and_o be_v right_a now_o while_o i_o speak_v of_o a_o good_a way_n and_o a_o bad_a way_n i_o intend_v a_o true_a religion_n and_o a_o false_a religion_n for_o as_o a_o way_n may_v be_v fair_a which_o we_o call_v a_o good_a way_n and_o yet_o be_v indirect_a so_o a_o religion_n may_v be_v glorious_a to_o
