well_o order_v for_o although_o a_o man_n be_v profound_a in_o knowledge_n yet_o if_o he_o have_v no_o grace_n in_o pronounce_v he_o can_v little_o edify_v but_o if_o he_o be_v garnish_v with_o a_o

dispose_v this_o voice_n what_o must_v he_o do_v he_o must_v oftentimes_o change_v the_o same_o according_a to_o the_o occasion_n which_o may_v be_v offer_v that_o be_v in_o speak_v sometime_o high_a and_o sometime_o low_o but_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o may_v be_v understand_v of_o all_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a moreover_o he_o must_v consider_v when_o he_o speak_v of_o sweet_a &_o delightful_a thing_n as_o of_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n that_o he_o do_v likewise_o in_o some_o sort_n express_v the_o sweetness_n of_o they_o by_o his_o voice_n and_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o fearful_a thing_n which_o be_v to_o astonish_v the_o hearer_n as_o with_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o threaten_n against_o man_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o force_v the_o voice_n and_o to_o make_v the_o hearer_n as_o it_o be_v pleasant_o when_o a_o preacher_n do_v denounce_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n he_o must_v speak_v harsh_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n pleasant_o to_o tremble_v at_o the_o denunciation_n of_o they_o for_o in_o truth_n as_o cicero_n have_v very_o well_o say_v it_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o a_o orator_n when_o he_o show_v a_o thing_n full_a of_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n with_o sorrowful_a word_n as_o when_o he_o pronounce_v a_o base_a thing_n with_o a_o pleasant_a and_o delicate_a stile_n the_o other_o point_n be_v when_o he_o speak_v of_o any_o thing_n do_v he_o must_v use_v so_o much_o pronunciation_n as_o be_v requisite_a because_o it_o be_v of_o no_o small_a force_n when_o it_o be_v do_v with_o modesty_n but_o if_o it_o be_v do_v with_o affectation_n to_o please_v the_o hearer_n &_o if_o it_o have_v immodesty_n mingle_v with_o it_o as_o the_o shake_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n the_o move_n of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o

declare_v good_a &_o profitable_a thing_n which_o do_v require_v humility_n they_o ought_v to_o show_v in_o all_o thing_n a_o singular_a modesty_n that_o be_v more_o tolerable_a in_o court_n wherein_o
