ignorant_a person_n who_o be_v cestern_n to_o sin_n sives_z to_z grace_n as_o in_o the_o sodomite_n gen._n 19_o 4._o to_o 12._o in_o korah_n and_o his_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o follower_n in_o

nor_o be_v it_o the_o common_a people_n case_n alone_o who_o inquire_v no_o far_o but_o believe_v at_o first_o for_o than_o i_o shall_v no_o whit_n wonder_v but_o even_o our_o grave_a bishop_n and_o

as_o one_o in_o regard_n of_o satan_n who_o lose_v so_o many_o of_o his_o subject_n or_o captive_n as_o turn_v believer_n for_o every_o repentant_a sinner_n be_v as_o a_o prisoner_n break_v loose_a from_o his_o chain_n of_o darkness_n and_o another_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o world_n which_o lose_v a_o limb_n or_o member_n when_o a_o convert_n will_v no_o long_o accompany_v they_o in_o their_o

he_o but_o the_o evidence_n of_o sixteen_o may_v serve_v sufficient_o to_o satisfy_v any_o sensible_a jury_n i_o come_v therefore_o to_o apply_v it_o wherein_o i_o will_v be_v very_o brief_a lest_o i_o be_v most_o of_o all_o censure_v for_o speak_v so_o much_o against_o censure_v and_o first_o if_o it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o all_o sensualist_n to_o censure_v the_o religious_a hypocrite_n

either_o in_o body_n or_o mind_n yea_o for_o thing_n indifferent_a yea_o for_o their_o very_a virtue_n and_o grace_n or_o the_o best_a action_n that_o can_v be_v perform_v yea_o condemn_v all_o the_o generation_n of_o god_n child_n for_o the_o fault_n of_o a_o few_o that_o seem_v bad_a yea_o general_o censure_v they_o for_o the_o great_a censurer_n and_o that_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o

may_v incite_v and_o stir_v up_o other_o to_o do_v the_o like_a or_o because_o the_o world_n lose_v a_o limb_n or_o member_n and_o satan_n a_o subject_n or_o prisoner_n in_o every_o one_o that_o
