the_o truth_n and_o therefore_o they_o hate_v it_o now_o what_o a_o man_n hate_v he_o keep_v off_o as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v it_o must_v not_o come_v near_o he_o for_o he_o count_v it_o his_o

be_v they_o love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_v and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o every_o way_n enlighten_v for_o what_o a_o man_n love_v he_o desire_v to_o preserve_v to_o hedge_v about_o and_o to_o keep_v safe_a thus_o man_n can_v abide_v to_o have_v darkness_n take_v away_o by_o any_o information_n or_o admonition_n for_o they_o desire_v to_o preserve_v it_o rom._n 1.21_o their_o foolish_a heart_n be_v full_a of_o darkness_n they_o know_v god_n but_o they_o glorify_v he_o not_o as_o god_n though_o there_o be_v light_a yet_o their_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o darkness_n and_o because_o they_o love_v this_o darkness_n therefore_o they_o will_v not_o have_v it_o expel_v as_o a_o man_n commit_v a_o filthy_a act_n or_o unseemly_a thing_n he_o desire_v to_o have_v the_o light_n put_v out_o because_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o that_o which_o shall_v cover_v and_o cloak_n his_o action_n thus_o man_n imprison_v and_o shut_v up_o the_o light_n not_o suffer_v it_o to_o disperse_v

not_o awake_v it_o when_o man_n remember_v not_o what_o they_o have_v to_o do_v they_o be_v so_o busy_v about_o other_o thing_n so_o transport_v with_o pleasure_n and_o lust_n so_o occupy_v in_o

they_o think_v man_n may_v live_v after_o another_o manner_n and_o thus_o they_o do_v imprison_v the_o light_n so_o do_v all_o heretic_n that_o believe_v lie_n and_o so_o withhold_v the_o truth_n three_o there_o be_v some_o that_o fail_v in_o neither_o of_o these_o they_o remember_v the_o truth_n well_o enough_o and_o they_o have_v no_o false_a opinion_n concern_v it_o but_o they_o resist_v the_o truth_n as_o stephen_n act._n 7.51_o speak_v of_o some_o that_o resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v when_o their_o opinion_n right_a and_o they_o remember_v it_o too_o but_o they_o

that_o have_v no_o perverse_a heretical_a opinion_n that_o likewise_o do_v not_o resist_v it_o that_o make_v not_o war_n against_o it_o that_o do_v not_o rise_v in_o rebellion_n against_o it_o but_o yet_o when_o they_o come_v to_o the_o point_n out_o of_o false_a distinction_n and_o evasion_n which_o they_o have_v iuvent_v they_o wrest_v the_o rule_n of_o truth_n they_o bend_v it_o too_o much_o to_o their_o own_o particular_a affection_n and_o practice_v though_o they_o know_v the_o truth_n in_o general_a yet_o in_o particular_n they_o seek_v to_o evade_v it_o and_o fail_v in_o apply_v it_o as_o for_o example_n man_n do_v not_o think_v sabbath-breaking_a good_a but_o now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o action_n i_o do_v at_o such_o a_o time_n be_v sabbath-breaking_a or_o no_o here_o they_o find_v a_o distinction_n to_o put_v it_o off_o so_o vain_a company_n i_o know_v be_v to_o be_v avoid_v but_o whether_o this_o be_v ill_a company_n be_v all_o the_o question_n all_o
