when_o thing_n of_o great_a moment_n be_v represent_v as_o true_a or_o false_a to_o be_v believe_v or_o reject_v the_o most_o ignorant_a mind_n be_v natural_o incline_v to_o pass_v its_o judgement_n

know_v not_o
which_o he_o hate_v with_o the_o pretence_n of_o his_o authority_n and_o name_n 29._o therefore_o they_o will_v call_v up_o their_o own_o and_o other_o man_n zeal_n to_o defend_v those_o falsehood_n

about_o and_o will_v help_v on_o the_o service_n of_o satan_n in_o the_o world_n and_o will_v be_v the_o author_n of_o faction_n and_o contention_n in_o the_o church_n whilst_o too_o many_o be_v

will_v be_v ready_a to_o strengthen_v they_o by_o their_o concurrence_n and_o to_o join_v in_o the_o opposition_n 34._o not_o they_o that_o be_v wise_a at_o a_o distance_n but_o they_o that_o be_v

to_o talk_v daily_o and_o confident_o to_o ignorant_a soul_n when_o there_o be_v none_o to_o talk_v against_o they_o and_o to_o make_v their_o folly_n know_v 35._o especial_o if_o the_o same_o man_n can_v get_v interest_n in_o their_o esteem_n as_o well_o as_o nearness_n and_o make_v themselves_o esteem_v the_o best_a or_o wise_a men._n 36._o therefore_o jesuitical_a worldly_a clergy_n man_n will_v always_o get_v about_o great_a man_n and_o insinuate_v into_o noble_n and_o will_v still_o defame_v they_o that_o be_v wise_a and_o good_a that_o they_o may_v seem_v odious_a and_o themselves_o
