by_o a_o malepert_a find_n of_o fault_n that_o thing_n be_v not_o redress_v authority_n be_v suspicious_a that_o man_n go_v about_o to_o get_v to_o themselves_o those_o thing_n which_o belong_v to_o

they_o think_v themselves_o nor_o perhaps_o the_o most_o true_o zealous_a for_o true_a zeal_n be_v join_v with_o prudence_n and_o it_o be_v not_o bitter_a and_o be_v the_o time_n as_o bad_a as_o

office_n for_o the_o magistrate_n if_o he_o be_v right_a will_v speak_v then_o in_o special_a and_o do_v too_o for_o the_o remove_n of_o evil_n and_o the_o minister_n be_v a_o watchman_n set_v as_o

that_o no_o disaffection_n by_o his_o mean_n be_v wrought_v in_o man_n heart_n towards_o they_o their_o person_n or_o place_n this_o i_o say_v he_o will_v do_v if_o wise_a and_o godly_a when_o he_o be_v in_o place_n i_o mean_v in_o the_o discharge_n of_o his_o office_n though_o at_o other_o time_n and_o season_n he_o be_v as_o a_o private_a man_n and_o like_o such_o a_o one_o at_o such_o time_n demean_n himself_o for_o indeed_o of_o such_o i_o suppose_v the_o prophet_n here_o speak_v of_o private_a man_n underling_n as_o i_o may_v so_o call_v they_o such_o as_o be_v liable_a to_o be_v

and_o say_v nothing_o bind_v their_o tongue_n to_o their_o good_a behaviour_n so_o you_o see_v the_o word_n be_v chief_o mean_v of_o private_a man_n such_o as_o you_o here_o be_v of_o which_o rank_n
