shall_v we_o tempt_v people_n to_o eat_v more_o than_o they_o judge_v conduce_v to_o their_o health_n 9_o look_v upon_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o ancient_a christian_n those_o great_a pattern_n of_o

virtuous_a this_o will_v suffice_v if_o you_o be_v not_o you_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o this_o and_o we_o read_v of_o some_o famous_a man_n of_o old_a who_o to_o divert_v and_o keep_v they_o from_o

neither_o think_v that_o abstinence_n from_o meat_n will_v prove_v you_o holy_a without_o abstinence_n from_o sin_n where_o have_v god_n require_v of_o you_o that_o you_o must_v eat_v no_o flesh_n for_o forty_o day_n together_o at_o one_o time_n of_o the_o year_n or_o for_o two_o or_o three_o day_n in_o a_o week_n god_n have_v indeed_o enjoin_v we_o temperance_n at_o all_o time_n and_o every_o

to_o be_v esteem_v drunkenness_n drunkenness_n be_v a_o voluptuous_a excess_n in_o drink_n to_o the_o depravation_n of_o reason_n drunkenness_n and_o gluttony_n be_v sin_n much_o of_o the_o same_o
