be_v a_o hypocrite_n but_o a_o player_n the_o zany_n of_o religion_n as_o you_o hear_v late_o a_o player_n act_n that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o do_v you_o act_n good_a and_o be_v wicked_a here_o be_v a_o

be_v nothing_o good_a but_o it_o nothing_o make_v godliness_n to_o be_v good_a or_o to_o be_v godliness_n but_o the_o power_n of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v not_o if_o it_o work_v not_o and_o it_o work_v not_o if_o not_o powerful_o now_o the_o denial_n of_o good_a must_v needs_o be_v evil_a and_o so_o much_o more_o evil_a as_o the_o good_a which_o be_v deny_v be_v more_o good_a and_o therefore_o the_o

this_o be_v therefore_o the_o perfect_a hypocrisy_n of_o fashionable_a christian_n they_o have_v the_o form_n they_o deny_v the_o power_n here_o be_v then_o a_o direct_a and_o profess_a opposition_n

i_o be_o sure_a the_o angel_n of_o light_n be_v before_o the_o satan_n and_o now_o because_o he_o be_v satan_n he_o put_v on_o the_o angel_n of_o light_n such_o shall_v be_v our_o method_n in_o this_o
