and_o more_o often_o then_o very_a many_o other_o there_o be_v no_o true_a wisdom_n without_o these_o work_n of_o mercy_n for_o the_o wisdom_n that_o come_v from_o above_o be_v pure_a and_o full_a of_o mercy_n and_o of_o good_a fruit_n so_o now_o it_o be_v more_o than_o undeniable_a that_o all_o show_v of_o piety_n be_v counterfeit_v where_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a be_v want_v as_o a_o

give_v not_o to_o the_o poor_a be_v possess_v and_o overcome_v of_o covetousness_n because_o the_o love_n of_o money_n keep_v he_o from_o follow_v the_o direction_n of_o god_n word_n in_o the_o use_n of_o it_o and_o so_o he_o love_v money_n more_o than_o god_n more_o than_o his_o poor_a brother_n more_o than_o the_o reward_n of_o god_n and_o more_o than_o heaven_n itself_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v but_o thorny_a ground_n a_o arrant_a hypocrite_n and_o so_o will_v christ_n account_v he_o and_o censure_v he_o at_o last_o wherefore_o my_o brethren_n you_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v the_o
