will_v make_v glad_a the_o city_n of_o god_n in_o all_o the_o city_n of_o man_n where_o ever_o it_o have_v a_o open_a channel_n and_o a_o free_a course_n by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v belove_v you_o

the_o work_n must_v be_v good_a it_o be_v possible_a for_o one_o to_o do_v a_o work_n that_o be_v good_a for_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o and_o to_o have_v some_o good_a end_n in_o it_o and_o yet_o not_o to_o do_v it_o out_o of_o a_o right_a principle_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o the_o text_n and_o doctrine_n speak_v unless_o the_o principle_n be_v good_a the_o work_n be_v not_o good_a as_o the_o fountain_n be_v such_o be_v the_o stream_n that_o come_v from_o it_o as_o the_o tree_n be_v such_o be_v the_o fruit_n that_o grow_v upon_o it_o do_v man_n gather_v grape_n of_o thorn_n or_o

question_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o pharisee_n matth._n 12._o 34._o o_o generation_n of_o viper_n how_o can_v you_o be_v evil_a speak_v good_a thing_n they_o may_v possible_o speak_v good_a for_o

which_o the_o church_n be_v build_v the_o devil_n speak_v it_o out_o of_o a_o base_a intent_n and_o therefore_o christ_n throw_v it_o away_o and_o rebuke_v he_o for_o it_o so_o evil_a man_n they_o spoil_v good_a speak_v with_o their_o ill_a manner_n of_o speak_v or_o their_o ill_a meaning_n in_o speak_v and_o therefore_o solomon_n have_v that_o expression_n in_o prov._n 26._o 7._o as_o the_o

as_o it_o be_v lisp_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o bad_a man_n and_o his_o heart_n never_o keep_v pace_n with_o his_o tongue_n thus_o you_o see_v christ_n say_v evil_a man_n can_v speak_v that_o which_o be_v good_a they_o can_v speak_v to_o the_o purpose_n full_o now_o as_o they_o that_o be_v evil_a can_v speak_v so_o neither_o can_v they_o do_v good_a thing_n answerable_a to_o the_o rule_n
