to_o persuade_v every_o one_o to_o overcome_v this_o difficulty_n first_o when_o saint_n augustine_n speak_v in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr doctri_fw-la christi_fw-la that_o the_o tongue_n of_o

that_o commit_v they_o and_o if_o he_o do_v it_o not_o he_o heap_v up_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n upon_o his_o own_o head_n second_o whereas_o saint_n ambrose_n say_v in_o his_o sixth_o epistle_n

we_o by_o jesus_n christ_n this_o very_o be_v a_o point_n to_o be_v note_v if_o we_o take_v the_o wage_n of_o man_n than_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v diligent_a and_o watchful_a to_o reprehend_v they_o when_o occasion_n serve_v because_o that_o may_v prevail_v very_o much_o to_o amend_v they_o the_o opinion_n of_o some_o be_v that_o if_o they_o reprehend_v free_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v
