mouth_n as_o you_o desire_v to_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n and_o no_o long_o say_v you_o sing_v to_o the_o praise_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o comfort_n of_o your_o own_o soul_n when_o your_o

god_n only_a delight_n in_o without_o which_o there_o be_v no_o acceptance_n be_v not_o they_o condemn_v of_o the_o lord_n by_o the_o prophet_n who_o come_v before_o he_o as_o his_o people_n do_v

next_o epistle_n he_o tell_v they_o and_o bid_v they_o try_v and_o prove_v themselves_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o they_o they_o be_v reprobate_n so_o read_v with_o moderation_n and_o consider_v if_o all_o be_v reprobate_n who_o do_v not_o witness_v christ_n in_o they_o little_a will_v it_o avail_v you_o to_o take_v bread_n and_o wine_n and_o eat_v it_o in_o imitation_n of_o what_o christ_n
