here
now
you may fee
the
ground
of
the
great
ignorance
that
is

not becaufe
the
things
ofGod

hard
to.be
underflood,
land
that
becaufe
they
have
nomeans
to underhand them, but
becaufe
of the filrhi-
nets
of
their hearts,
no mervaile though men
and women

you
find
there, the
A.pohle
fpeaks
of worsen that
were
ever
learning,
and never
were
able
to
come
to--re
knowledge
of
the
truth
;
And
fo
it
maybe
applyed
to men,
to
thofe
that
are
laden with
find,
and
led
away
with
divers
lulls,
They
are
ever

why, becaufe
they
are
led
away
with
lulls,
and
ladenwith
fins
When
men
and
women have
un-
cleaneffe in
their hearts,
and
are laden with corruptions in
their
fpirits,
why no
mervail though
they never come to
the
knowledge of the truth
;
and

fay,
why
I
do according to
my
knowledge,
and
all
men
cannot
attain

Alas,
I
am
a
roor
crea-ure,
and
am
but
weak

not
able
to underhand
things

as
others do
:
O
it
is
not
for want
of
the ftrength of thy
underhand
Mg
'fo
much,
but the
filthineffe
of thy
heart, thole
filthy
hems
that arife
from thy corrupt
heart,
they darken the

of
the truth
that
