a_o seasonable_a and_o necessary_a admonition_n to_o the_o gentleman_n of_o the_o first_o society_n for_o reformation_n of_o manner_n concern_v reformation_n of_o themselves_o of_o the_o bishop_n and_o of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o gentleman_n though_o i_o be_o a_o stranger_n to_o many_o of_o you_o and_o come_v not_o to_o your_o meeting_n yet_o be_o i_o a_o sincere_a wellwisher_n to_o the_o work_v you_o be_v engage_v in_o and_o to_o yourselves_o for_o it_o and_o though_o i_o be_v soon_o call_v away_o for_o a_o better_a service_n i_o hope_v as_o good_a as_o that_o be_v and_o such_o as_o may_v crown_v it_o at_o last_o with_o a_o heavenly_a blessing_n yet_o have_v i_o never_o cease_v as_o occasion_n be_v offer_v to_o contribute_v what_o i_o can_v to_o promote_v it_o and_o for_o that_o purpose_n do_v i_o now_o write_v this_o i_o chance_v late_o to_o look_v into_o a_o book_n wherein_o i_o observe_v that_o you_o have_v not_o only_o increase_v your_o number_n but_o also_o enlarge_v your_o style_n and_o title_n and_o make_v it_o more_o comprehensive_a not_o only_o for_o execution_n of_o law_n and_o suppression_n of_o vice_n but_o for_o reformation_n of_o manner_n and_o a_o national_a reformation_n which_o i_o do_v not_o dislike_v provide_v you_o make_v good_a the_o undertake_n for_o suppression_n of_o vice_n be_v but_o like_a weed_n the_o ground_n but_o reformation_n of_o manner_n require_v the_o plant_v of_o virtue_n and_o this_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v be_v careful_a to_o do_v first_o at_o home_n among_o yourselves_o and_o especial_o in_o your_o peculiar_a i_o engagement_n and_o make_v your_o real_a virtue_n exemplary_a to_o the_o nation_n by_o a_o true_a magnanimity_n worthy_a of_o englishman_n worthy_a of_o gentleman_n worthy_a of_o christian_n nothing_o under_o god_n do_v more_o animate_v to_o true_a and_o heroic_a virtue_n than_o such_o example_n but_o if_o when_o occasion_n require_v generous_a action_n you_o think_v to_o cover_v laziness_n and_o timidity_n with_o prudential_n excuse_n and_o in_o print_a book_n with_o pompous_a recommendation_n m●gn●sto_o bugbears_a to_o represent_v as_o courageous_a those_o who_o do_v not_o fly_v though_o they_o do_v not_o dare_v to_o assault_v the_o monster_n or_o second_o those_o that_o do_v as_o if_o the_o design_n be_v to_o cheat_v a_o impudent_a vicious_a generation_n into_o a_o reformation_n as_o mother_n sometime_o fright_v their_o child_n or_o to_o seek_v for_o the_o applause_n of_o real_a virtue_n by_o such_o action_n as_o have_v little_a of_o true_a virtue_n in_o they_o this_o will_v be_v rather_o to_o animate_v vice_n when_o the_o trick_n be_v understand_v and_o to_o corrupt_v yourselves_o with_o vanity_n than_o to_o reform_v the_o nation_n and_o if_o such_o a_o man_n as_o st._n paul_n be_v careful_a lest_o while_o he_o preach_v to_o other_o himself_n shall_v become_v a_o castaway_n you_o can_v think_v such_o a_o caution_n and_o admonition_n impertinent_a or_o needless_a and_o that_o you_o may_v see_v by_o proper_a experiment_n that_o it_o be_v not_o i_o shall_v acquaint_v you_o with_o that_o which_o though_o some_o of_o you_o know_v very_o well_o i_o
