the_o liberty_n of_o reprehend_v leave_v nothing_o that_o may_v distinguish_v it_o from_o flattery_n and_o see_v that_o we_o be_v natural_o lame_a and_o benumb_a in_o thing_n touch_v god_n service_n we_o must_v employ_v the_o help_n of_o our_o friend_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v bring_v we_o into_o this_o bath_n to_o receive_v heal_v for_o god_n communicate_v not_o his_o grace_n unto_o we_o
