these_o in_o they_o what_o dishonour_n be_v this_o to_o god_n and_o his_o spirit_n when_o a_o dark_a humour_n shall_v prevail_v more_o than_o the_o word_n the_o truth_n itself_o this_o be_v a_o great_a bondage_n which_o satan_n bring_v the_o soul_n into_o that_o when_o there_o be_v evidence_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o yet_o man_n will_v believe_v a_o peevish_a humour_n before_o the_o word_n and_o testimony_n of_o conscience_n enlighten_v by_o the_o spirit_n take_v heed_n of_o it_o as_o a_o great_a pride_n in_o the_o heart_n when_o we_o yield_v more_o to_o a_o sturdy_a dark_a unsubdued_a humour_n then_o to_o evidence_n itself_o therefore_o in_o such_o case_n harken_v not_o to_o what_o fear_n say_v or_o humour_n say_v or_o satan_n say_v or_o what_o the_o

true_a christian_n though_o more_o remiss_a shall_v have_v so_o much_o comfort_n as_o shall_v support_v they_o from_o fall_v into_o despair_n yet_o not_o so_o much_o as_o shall_v strengthen_v they_o and_o carry_v they_o into_o a_o vigorous_a life_n fit_a for_o christian_n 5_o when_o we_o have_v find_v any_o work_n of_o grace_n and_o thereupon_o that_o our_o faith_n be_v true_a we_o ought_v to_o

faith_n for_o the_o root_n and_o branch_n be_v together_o though_o the_o root_n be_v not_o always_o discern_v and_o therefore_o when_o we_o discover_v any_o true_a faith_n in_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o let_v we_o support_v and_o comfort_v ourselves_o with_o it_o for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n and_o by_o christ_n a_o heir_n of_o heaven_n and_o a_o child_n of_o god_n what_o in_o the_o
