converwhen_o any_o small_a spiritual_a motion_n touch_v they_o &_o make_v they_o know_v that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o hard_a matter_n for_o they_o to_o love_n god_n who_o they_o see_v not_o so_o long_o as_o they_o abhor_v those_o that_o bear_v his_o image_n and_o who_o they_o see_v for_o this_o cause_n must_v we_o not_o despair_v of_o any_o unless_o in_o they_o appear_v some_o evident_a token_n of_o

before_o we_o end_v this_o discourse_n we_o must_v also_o speak_v somewhat_o of_o counterfeit_n concord_n and_o peradventure_o it_o will_v not_o hurt_v to_o set_v concord_n down_o some_o warning_n upon_o that_o point_n to_o the_o end_n man_n be_v not_o abuse_v as_o they_o that_o for_o want_n of_o weigh_v and_o well_o look_v to_o do_v take_v counterfeit_v coin_n for_o good_a gold_n for_o in_o this_o so_o corrupt_a a_o world_n wherein_o we_o live_v we_o must_v look_v very_o near_o upon_o those_o thing_n that_o bear_v a_o fair_a show_n because_o that_o under_o such_o a_o cloak_n mischief_n for_o the_o most_o part_n lurk_v when_o therefore_o we_o chance_v to_o see_v a_o good_a agreement_n between_o some_o with_o who_o we_o be_v request_v to_o enter_v society_n let_v we_o diligent_o inquire_v whether_o the_o end_n whereunto_o either_o of_o they_o do_v tend_v be_v good_a or_o bad_a for_o if_o it_o be_v bad_a then_o may_v we_o conclude_v that_o agreement_n to_o be_v false_a and_o so_o consequent_o of_o small_a continuance_n and_o to_o be_v eschew_v this_o may_v better_o be_v make_v manifest_a by_o example_n the_o first_o therefore_o that_o i_o will_v begin_v withal_o shall_v be_v of_o land_n example_n thief_n and_o robber_n and_o of_o sea_n rover_n a_o man_n will_v sometime_o think_v such_o a_o fraternity_n and_o steadfast_a amity_n to_o be_v between_o they_o as_o in_o

what_o shall_v we_o judge_v of_o their_o union_n but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o perilous_a conspiracy_n lewd_a and_o licention_n woman_n that_o dwell_v even_o by_o pernission_n in_o sundry_a city_n
