poor_a shall_v rise_v devil_n in_o that_o these_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n and_o educate_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o eternal_a truth_n yea_o tutor_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o divine_a wisdom_n but_o now_o tell_v i_o how_o many_o of_o these_o poor_a you_o can_v find_v among_o the_o poor_a seed_n of_o cain_n for_o if_o thou_o understand_v what_o thou_o read_v thou_o shall_v find_v though_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v but_o poor_a in_o this_o world_n viz_o your_o kingdom_n yet_o mind_n what_o the_o holy_a writ_n say_v though_o poor_a in_o estate_n yet_o they_o be_v rich_a in_o faith_n so_o that_o these_o poor_a by_o faith_n receive_v the_o gospel_n therefore_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o it_o be_v not_o poverty_n in_o the_o outward_a man_n that_o make_v thou_o rich_a in_o the_o inward_a man_n for_o if_o you_o can_v discern_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o faith_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o poor_a in_o this_o world_n be_v as_o poor_a in_o faith_n yea_o so_o poor_a that_o they_o can_v give_v thou_o the_o least_o account_n what_o god_n be_v or_o what_o a_o rich_a treasure_n it_o be_v to_o believe_v in_o god_n therefore_o in_o stead_n of_o love_a god_n they_o hate_v god_n as_o if_o it_o be_v but_o record_v how_o many_o time_n in_o a_o day_n at_o billingsgate_n as_o also_o in_o all_o the_o street_n of_o london_n thou_o shall_v hear_v they_o be_v educate_v in_o little_a else_o but_o to_o blaspheme_v the_o name_n of_o our_o glorious_a personal_a god_n as_o shall_v be_v see_v more_o at_o large_a in_o the_o devil_n his_o qualification_n so_o that_o deceive_v not_o yourselves_o and_o that_o because_o of_o your_o beauty_n or_o greatness_n no_o nor_o for_o your_o poverty_n unless_o you_o be_v rich_o clad_v with_o that_o rich_a jewel_n of_o faith_n for_o that_o will_v manifest_v who_o be_v thy_o tutor_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o thy_o education_n cap._n iii_o the_o devil_n or_o seed_n of_o cain_n his_o qualification_n and_o how_o he_o be_v act_v forth_o for_o your_o better_a understanding_n of_o what_o i_o shall_v now_o write_v you_o shall_v find_v this_o matter_n ensue_v divide_v itself_o

qualification_n and_o yet_o all_o make_v up_o but_o one_o seed_n as_o unto_o its_o original_n even_o the_o seed_n of_o cain_n their_o father_n as_o first_o some_o of_o this_o seed_n you_o shall_v hear_v be_v act_v forth_o to_o all_o manner_n of_o uncleanness_n yea_o such_o as_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o roman_n the_o first_o from_o verse_n 21._o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n for_o this_o cause_n god_n give_v they_o up_o unto_o vile_a affection_n for_o even_o their_o woman_n do_v change_v their_o natural_a use_n into_o that_o which_o be_v against_o nature_n and_o likewise_o also_o the_o man_n leave_v the_o natural_a use_n of_o the_o woman_n burn_v in_o their_o lust_n one_o towards_o another_o man_n with_o man_n work_v that_o which_o be_v unseemly_a of_o these_o sort_n of_o

from_o hence_o include_v all_o manner_n of_o filthy_a act_n whatsoever_o now_o let_v any_o of_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n judge_n if_o thou_o be_v not_o give_v over_o to_o a_o reprobate_a mind_n to_o
