to_o which_o you_o be_v bind_v prentice_n a_o man_n may_v apply_v his_o ear_n &_o his_o eye_n as_o many_o truant_n do_v to_o their_o book_n &_o yet_o never_o prove_v scholar_n but_o from_o that_o

his_o life_n even_o as_o you_o see_v the_o wicked_a because_o they_o apply_v their_o heart_n to_o wickedness_n how_o fast_o they_o proceed_v how_o easy_o and_o how_o quick_o they_o become_v perfect_a swearer_n expert_a drunkard_n cunning_a deceiver_n so_o if_o you_o can_v apply_v your_o heart_n as_o thorough_o to_o knowledge_n and_o goodness_n you_o may_v become_v like_o the_o apostle_n which_o

man_n to_o think_v of_o a_o short_a life_n and_o think_v evil_a or_o to_o think_v of_o a_o long_a life_n and_o think_v well_o therefore_o when_o jeremie_n have_v number_v all_o the_o calamity_n &_o sin_n of_o the_o jew_n at_o last_o he_o impute_v all_o to_o this_o 9_o she_o remember_v not_o her_o end_n so_o if_o i_o may_v judge_v why_o natural_a man_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o pomp_n

a_o whole_a sermon_n the_o hearer_n can_v pick_v out_o one_o note_n more_o than_o he_o can_v gather_v himself_o and_o many_o loathe_v preach_v as_o the_o jew_n abhor_v the_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o
