when_o a_o man_n be_v inward_o in_o himself_o wicked_a &_o yet_o will_v outward_o seem_v virtuous_a hypocrisy_n be_v of_o three_o sort_n first_o when_o a_o man_n for_o fear_n of_o worldly_a shame_n seek_v to_o cover_v and_o dissemble_v the_o circumstance_n of_o his_o sin_n when_o he_o ought_v rather_o to_o confess_v it_o second_o when_o a_o man_n do_v accuse_v himself_o in_o the_o ptesence_n of_o other_o for_o a_o notable_a sinner_n that_o so_o he_o may_v seem_v devout_a religious_a and_o humble_a when_o as_o in_o hart_n he_o be_v full_a of_o deceit_n violence_n and_o craft_n and_o

their_o necessity_n and_o wrong_n ingratitude_n what_o ingratitude_n be_v a_o sin_n whereby_o we_o suffer_v the_o remembrance_n of_o a_o benefit_n or_o good_a turn_n to_o slide_v away_o or_o be_v

all_o man_n in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o contempt_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n first_o when_o through_o a_o certain_a niceness_n we_o contemn_v such_o as_o be_v poor_a sickly_a ignorant_a and_o

the_o authority_n of_o our_o superior_n and_o to_o check_v this_o kind_n of_o pride_n we_o may_v take_v the_o example_n of_o brute_n beast_n the_o horse_n will_v acknowledge_v his_o rider_n and_o the_o dog_n will_v fear_v his_o master_n ambition_n what_o ambition_n be_v a_o inordinate_a desire_n to_o enjoy_v honour_n dignity_n and_o great_a place_n thereby_o to_o be_v predominant_a and_o
