all_o which_o nevertheless_o be_v far_o from_o justify_v they_o for_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o render_v they_o the_o more_o blame-worthy_a but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o these_o conscience_n thus_o

impudent_a as_o to_o say_v it_o be_v the_o lovely_a and_o sweet_a spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o must_v needs_o confess_v it_o to_o be_v the_o force_n of_o a_o corrupt_a education_n nourish_v

they_o not_o make_v use_n of_o to_o force_v their_o conscience_n to_o comply_v with_o any_o side_n what_o method_n will_v they_o leave_v untried_a what_o way_n will_v they_o not_o turn_v themselves_o though_o all_o their_o carnal_a argument_n can_v make_v they_o believe_v otherwise_o than_o they_o do_v in_o effect_n believe_v yea_o moreover_o they_o do_v oftentimes_o for_o interest-sake_n force_v

to_o dwell_v therein_o for_o ever_o iii_o the_o three_o and_o last_o way_n by_o which_o man_n conscience_n be_v deceive_v be_v when_o they_o give_v up_o their_o conscience_n to_o the_o governance_n

the_o precept_n of_o man_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v plain_a they_o ought_v rather_o to_o have_v choose_v god_n himself_o for_o their_o teacher_n but_o oh_o in_o what_o a_o miserable_a condition_n be_v these_o poor_a soul_n and_o with_o what_o uncertainty_n do_v they_o follow_v that_o which_o abandon_v they_o to_o the_o government_n of_o another_o who_o must_v order_v and_o direct_v their_o

see_v that_o error_n darkness_n and_o blindness_n be_v far_o from_o that_o spirit_n which_o jesus_n christ_n send_v according_a to_o his_o promise_n to_o guide_v his_o people_n into_o all_o truth_n and_o which_o he_o say_v the_o world_n can_v not_o receive_v for_o we_o see_v man_n do_v all_o they_o can_v to_o hinder_v themselves_o from_o come_v and_o harken_v to_o the_o instruction_n of_o his_o spirit_n choose_v rather_o to_o build_v their_o faith_n upon_o a_o priest_n or_o fryar_n sleeve_n than_o trust_v themselves_o in_o god_n hand_n though_o all_o the_o while_o they_o do_v not_o own_o

their_o cruelty_n their_o hypocrisy_n and_o their_o pride_n but_o how_o shall_v it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o they_o when_o they_o will_v not_o preserve_v themselves_o from_o and_o watch_v against_o the_o ambush_n of_o satan_n who_o be_v their_o principal_a director_n how_o can_v any_o man_n be_v so_o blind_a and_o void_a of_o understanding_n as_o to_o think_v he_o can_v have_v pardon_n and_o

pure_a light_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o conscience_n which_o shall_v govern_v it_o in_o one_o man_n as_o well_o as_o in_o another_o to_o teach_v they_o to_o keep_v their_o conscience_n void_a of_o
