world_n which_o you_o do_v call_v wise_a sensible_a man_n be_v lead_v by_o their_o sense_n and_o worldly_a craft_n to_o the_o devil_n larder-house_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v when_o they_o

while_o they_o live_v eulalus_n like_a enough_o for_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n to_o be_v revengeful_a but_o the_o apostle_n teach_v we_o another_o lesson_n avenge_v not_o

grant_v that_o i_o may_v see_v some_o fruit_n of_o this_o conference_n in_o you_o at_o our_o next_o meeting_n by_o this_o short_a dialogue_n it_o appear_v how_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v most_o

when_o it_o be_v particular_o apply_v for_o their_o conversion_n and_o reformation_n then_o begin_v they_o ever_o to_o seek_v out_o argument_n for_o the_o sophister_n the_o father_n of_o lie_n be_v

to_o seek_v out_o another_o shepherd_n some_o that_o satan_n have_v pick_v in_o at_o the_o window_n who_o they_o may_v object_v against_o he_o who_o if_o he_o be_v a_o good_a scholar_n politic_a and_o

into_o heaven_n the_o apostle_n and_o all_o faithful_a shepherd_n have_v great_a cause_n of_o rejoice_v as_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n also_o have_v and_o of_o thanksgiving_n without_o cease_v

this_o then_o be_v the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o they_o hear_v indeed_o but_o with_o unbelieve_a heart_n doubt_v and_o waver_a mind_n and_o in_o a_o dream_a and_o slumber_v manner_n
