serve_v the_o world_n if_o all_o our_o mind_n heart_n and_o affection_n be_v give_v to_o the_o world_n we_o can_v serve_v god_n they_o than_o that_o be_v fill_v with_o wine_n &_o be_v drunken_a can_v

as_o though_o we_o use_v it_o not_o we_o be_v wont_n to_o marvel_v much_o that_o after_o the_o word_n preach_v our_o prayer_n make_v the_o sacrament_n receive_v there_o yet_o appear_v no_o change_n

to_o dwell_v among_o us._n the_o due_a consideration_n whereof_o must_v wean_v we_o from_o the_o world_n and_o surfeit_a pleasure_n which_o lock_n up_o our_o heart_n that_o the_o lord_n can_v enter_v in_o we_o can_v well_o run_v with_o the_o hare_n and_o hold_v with_o the_o hound_n we_o can_v hold_v fire_n and_o water_n together_o we_o can_v reconcile_v christ_n and_o belial_n light_n &_o

use_v it_o not_o he_o feel_v such_o joy_n in_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o all_o other_o thing_n be_v vile_a unto_o he_o so_o the_o cause_n why_o good_a motion_n die_v in_o we_o so_o soon_o and_o the_o suggestion_n of_o the_o flesh_n prevail_v so_o strong_o against_o we_o be_v because_o we_o be_v more_o carnal_a than_o spiritual_a many_o rule_n may_v be_v give_v how_o a_o man_n

we_o see_v be_v this_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o these_o man_n that_o they_o be_v drunken_a that_o it_o be_v god_n his_o spirit_n in_o they_o than_o which_o two_o what_o can_v be_v more_o contrary_a

his_o spirit_n be_v come_v upon_o all_o therefore_o now_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n come_v thus_o the_o apostle_n reach_v we_o how_o we_o may_v know_v when_o and_o where_o christ_n his_o

though_o our_o compound_a anabaptist_n have_v great_a thing_n in_o their_o mouth_n yet_o because_o their_o man_n and_o woman_n speak_v nothing_o but_o dream_n forsake_v the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o have_v not_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ._n in_o many_o place_n in_o the_o day_n of_o queen_n mary_n both_o old_a and_o young_a be_v not_o afraid_a to_o show_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n as_o well_o
