come_v to_o their_o hand_n may_v apply_v it_o effectual_o unto_o themselves_o that_o so_o they_o may_v expel_v the_o poison_a malice_n of_o their_o canker_a heart_n and_o all_o these_o patient_n i_o will_v have_v to_o mark_v that_o the_o more_o they_o give_v way_n unto_o their_o nature_n or_o rather_o unnatural_a affection_n the_o more_o they_o shall_v be_v taint_v with_o the_o horrible_a vice_n whereto_o they_o be_v addict_v and_o again_o the_o more_o they_o be_v infect_v with_o they_o the_o more_o venomous_a poison_n their_o child_n shall_v draw_v from_o they_o not_o only_o while_o they_o be_v in_o their_o mother_n womb_n but_o also_o much_o more_o afterward_o by_o their_o evil_a example_n and_o howsoever_o it_o be_v little_o regard_v that_o child_n can_v be_v infect_v with_o the_o parent_n disposition_n while_o they_o be_v in_o the_o womb_n yet_o daily_a experience_n do_v show_v that_o as_o they_o be_v form_v and_o proportion_v in_o body_n much_o like_o unto_o their_o parent_n so_o likewise_o in_o their_o nature_n and_o affection_n now_o therefore_o though_o thou_o have_v small_a regard_n of_o thyself_o yet_o for_o thy_o child_n sake_n which_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o thy_o
