know_v themselves_o to_o be_v naught_o all_o the_o while_n 13._o and_o so_o deceive_v other_o but_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o i_o be_o in_o god_n favour_n and_o in_o a_o safe_a and_o happy_a estate_n since_o i_o do_v all_o with_o a_o good_a heart_n for_o god_n this_o thou_o may_v very_o think_v of_o thyself_o answ._n and_o yet_o be_v deceive_v and_o damn_a and_o go_v to_o the_o devil_n at_o last_o

only_o the_o latter_a have_v some_o inward_a yet_o common_a work_n deceive_v themselves_o too_o i_o be_o 1._o 26._o if_o any_o man_n seem_v to_o be_v religious_a so_o many_o be_v and_o so_o deceive_v

thou_o receive_v that_o dreadful_a sentence_n go_v you_o curse_v so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o five_o foolish_a virgin_n that_o be_v never_o discover_v by_o the_o wise_a 25._o nor_o by_o themselves_o until_o the_o gate_n of_o grace_n be_v shut_v upon_o they_o if_o thou_o have_v therefore_o no_o better_a evidence_n to_o show_v for_o thyself_o that_o thy_o estate_n be_v good_a than_o these_o i_o will_v not_o give_v a_o pin_n point_v for_o all_o thy_o flatter_a false_a hope_n of_o be_v save_v but_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o have_v never_o yet_o come_v so_o far_o as_o to_o this_o pitch_n and_o
