their_o light_n and_o splendour_n so_o man_n be_v say_v to_o lose_v their_o excellency_n when_o they_o give_v way_n unto_o their_o lust_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v first_o because_o when_o the_o

that_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n become_v a_o burden_n unto_o he_o now_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n more_o odious_a unto_o god_n than_o to_o be_v a_o idolater_n for_o he_o be_v a_o

to_o himself_o and_o this_o be_v proper_o call_v the_o hatred_n of_o god_n for_o then_o god_n withdraw_v from_o a_o man_n his_o spirit_n and_o special_a providence_n because_o he_o loathe_v he_o and_o

that_o there_o be_v earthly-mindednesse_a nothing_o in_o the_o world_n that_o less_o beseem_v a_o christian_a man_n or_o woman_n especial_o one_o that_o profess_v religion_n than_o earthly_a

that_o it_o be_v suitable_a unto_o his_o disposition_n but_o for_o any_o man_n that_o have_v taste_v of_o heavenly_a mystery_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v heb._n 6._o 6._o to_o fall_v away_o into_o
