be_o in_o doubt_n many_o of_o we_o come_v short_a of_o and_o yet_o persuade_v ourselves_o to_o be_v good_a christian_n first_o you_o have_v not_o read_v a_o more_o love_a kind_a and_o gentle_a son_n

when_o he_o meet_v his_o brother_n jacob_n who_o offer_v he_o a_o great_a present_a he_o do_v refuse_v it_o protest_v he_o have_v enough_o which_o do_v argue_v a_o mind_n void_a of_o covetousness_n be_v he_o proud_a no_o very_o for_o as_o we_o read_v when_o his_o brother_n and_o he_o can_v no_o long_o dwell_v together_o he_o in_o courtesy_n give_v place_n to_o his_o young_a brother_n what_o be_v

a_o man_n may_v have_v many_o temporal_a blessing_n and_o moral_a virtue_n yet_o be_v a_o profane_a man_n it_o be_v not_o only_o sufficient_a to_o bring_v severe_a punishment_n upon_o he_o but_o he_o

the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n go_v about_o to_o establish_v his_o own_o invention_n and_o further_o they_o be_v idolater_n and_o worship_v stock_n and_o stone_n the_o work_n of_o

that_o be_v the_o way_n to_o heaven_n nay_o a_o man_n with_o these_o may_v be_v a_o miserable_a man_n except_o he_o be_v sanctify_v with_o religion_n we_o do_v not_o hold_v as_o the_o papist_n false_o

in_o another_o case_n they_o be_v as_o a_o ring_n of_o gold_n in_o a_o swine_n snout_n honesty_n and_o civility_n be_v most_o precious_a jewel_n but_o they_o that_o have_v they_o without_o religion_n
