fire_n and_o flame_n of_o zeal_n for_o it_o be_v a_o virtue_n that_o best_o agree_v with_o cold_a nature_n and_o such_o as_o be_v complexioned_a for_o humility_n but_o how_o shall_v we_o expect_v charity_n towards_o other_o when_o we_o be_v uncharitable_a to_o ourselves_o and_o charity_n begin_v at_o home_n in_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o be_v every_o man_n his_o own_o greaâ—est_n
