a_o false_a argument_n conclude_v a_o false_a head_n of_o doctrine_n second_o there_o be_v another_o colour_n that_o be_v a_o true_a colour_n but_o false_o apply_v to_o such_o a_o subject_n as_o thou_o will_v colour_v a_o piece_n of_o dirt_n with_o fair_a colour_n so_o a_o false_a teacher_n will_v take_v a_o fair_a colour_n and_o put_v it_o upon_o his_o dirt_n upon_o his_o dream_n and_o

such_o a_o worship_n when_o a_o man_n follow_v his_o own_o fancy_n and_o how_o colour_v they_o this_o head_n of_o doctrine_n after_o this_o manner_n this_o doctrine_n of_o abstinence_n from_o meat_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o voluntary_a worship_v that_o god_n have_v not_o command_v so_o ready_o be_v man_n to_o serve_v god_n unbidden_a worship_n voluntary_a worship_n apparent_o he_o that_o tarry_v

all_o thy_o life_n long_o have_v no_o warrant_n of_o god_n it_o shall_v not_o profit_v thou_o to_o humiliation_n will_v then_o a_o false_a teacher_n bid_v thou_o abstain_v from_o that_o that_o god_n

that_o doctrine_n be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o wisdom_n that_o serve_v for_o the_o chasten_n of_o the_o body_n i_o can_v it_o not_o deny_v but_o say_v he_o that_o do_v the_o doctrine_n of_o abstinence_n

for_o i_o tell_v thou_o it_o be_v a_o pride_n to_o follow_v that_o that_o god_n have_v not_o command_v so_o it_o be_v a_o fair_a colour_n but_o false_o apply_v as_o a_o colour_n upon_o dirt_n and_o
