For a natural man doth not perceive those things that pertain unto y• spirit of God. For they are foolishness unto him, neither can he understand them, because they be spiritually ²judged. Howe can a man speak good things, wham he him self is evil? Can blessing & cursing come both ⟨image 33⟩out of one mouth? Doth a fountain ³send for the at one place sweet water & bitter also? Can a fig tree •eare Olive berries, either a vine bear figs? Of the abundance of the hart, the mouth speaketh. He ⁴that is of the earth, is earthly, and speaketh of the earth, but he whom god hath sent, speaketh the words of God. Every man speaketh, as he is. The children of trueth, speak trueth, & the sons of a lying seed speak lies & falsehood. Now is david no more such a man, as of nature is a liar, butte he is regenerate, & borne anew of the holy ghost, & is no more of that false & lying seed, which de ceyueth accordynge to the nature, ⁵ingeny & proper•e of Satan, which is a liar, & the father of all lying, & therefore confesseth he now another tale, than he would have done before his regeneration & new birth He would before have glorified in ⟨image 33⟩
