honesty_n be_v sake_n may_v be_v corrupt_v through_o hope_n of_o good_a fortune_n but_o where_o virtue_n take_v a_o thorough_a possession_n it_o never_o leave_v the_o habitation_n yet_o many_o that_o have_v be_v base_a wicked_a and_o of_o beastly_a life_n may_v be_v reform_v so_o as_o to_o become_v very_o honest_a worthy_a and_o pure_a and_o such_o reclaim_v person_n ought_v to_o be_v esteem_v and_o respect_a for_o i_o be_o not_o of_o mrs._n f._n rs._n humour_n who_o hate_v a_o reformado_n but_o some_o man_n be_v of_o that_o humour_n as_o they_o hate_v honest_a chaste_a woman_n not_o only_o out_o of_o a_o despair_n of_o their_o enjoyment_n but_o that_o they_o love_v the_o company_n and_o conversation_n of_o wanton_n and_o free_a woman_n insomuch_o that_o a_o courtesan_n shall_v have_v a_o great_a and_o strong_a power_n to_o cause_n and_o persuade_v man_n to_o do_v action_n not_o only_o to_o the_o ruin_n of_o their_o estate_n and_o family_n but_o to_o the_o ruin_n of_o their_o honour_n and_o reputation_n nay_o to_o make_v they_o unnatural_a extravagant_a or_o base_a than_o a_o honest_a chaste_a wife_n have_v to_o persuade_v her_o husband_n to_o keep_v his_o estate_n honour_n or_o honesty_n for_o many_o a_o worthy_a and_o honourable_a person_n have_v degenerate_v from_o his_o birth_n and_o breed_n from_o his_o natural_a courage_n and_o generosity_n from_o his_o loyalty_n and_o duty_n from_o his_o natural_a affection_n and_o sacred_a vow_n from_o his_o honour_n and_o reputation_n through_o the_o persuasion_n of_o whore_n nay_o many_o man_n love_v a_o whore_n so_o much_o more_o than_o a_o honest_a and_o chaste_a woman_n as_o many_o make_v better_a husband_n and_o be_v more_o fond_a and_o kind_a to_o their_o wife_n if_o they_o be_v libertine_n than_o if_o they_o be_v honest_a and_o true_a to_o their_o marriagebed_n but_o leave_v such_o man_n to_o their_o own_o head_n and_o their_o wife_n to_o their_o neighbour_n bed_n i_o rest_v madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n xxxvii_o madam_n you_o be_v please_v to_o tell_v i_o in_o your_o last_o letter_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a and_o earnest_a dispute_n between_o o._n g._n and_o c._n o._n in_o divinity_n as_o to_o prove_v many_o thing_n which_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v believe_v than_o prove_v for_o though_o proof_n make_v knowledge_n yet_o belief_n do_v not_o make_v proof_n for_o though_o many_o thousand_o of_o man_n believe_v alike_o one_o thing_n or_o thing_n a_o thousand_o year_n yet_o neither_o the_o number_n of_o man_n nor_o of_o year_n do_v prove_v it_o to_o be_v true_a it_o only_o prove_v that_o so_o many_o man_n do_v believe_v it_o for_o so_o many_o year_n for_o though_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o nature_n that_o may_v be_v conceive_a and_o demonstrate_v to_o reason_n at_o least_o to_o have_v a_o probability_n in_o reason_n but_o can_v be_v demonstrate_v to_o the_o sense_n yet_o the_o conception_n do_v often_o deceive_v not_o only_o the_o reason_n but_o the_o sense_n than_o the_o sense_n do_v the_o reason_n or_o conception_n for_o though_o the_o sense_n may_v and_o be_v oftentimes_o mistake_v and_o delude_v yet_o they_o be_v the_o most_o certain_a and_o sure_a guide_n and_o informer_n we_o have_v but_o divinity_n be_v above_o all_o sense_n and_o reason_n as_o also_o all_o demonstration_n wherefore_o faith_n be_v require_v in_o all_o religion_n for_o what_o can_v be_v conceive_v or_o apprehend_v must_v be_v believe_v and_o if_o the_o chief_a pillar_n of_o religion_n be_v faith_n man_n shall_v believe_v more_o and_o dispute_v less_o for_o disputation_n do_v argue_v weakness_n of_o faith_n nay_o they_o make_v a_o strong_a faith_n faint_a for_o all_o dispute_n in_o divinity_n be_v enemy_n to_o faith_n and_o be_v apt_a through_o contradiction_n and_o different_a opinion_n to_o destroy_v religion_n make_v the_o thought_n and_o mind_n atheistical_a and_o the_o word_n sophistical_a man_n spend_v more_o time_n in_o dispute_v than_o pray_v rather_o strive_v to_o express_v their_o wit_n than_o to_o increase_v their_o knowledge_n for_o divine_a mystery_n be_v beyond_o all_o natural_a capacity_n and_o the_o schoolman_n have_v rather_o teach_v man_n contradiction_n than_o truth_n and_o churchman_n rather_o division_n than_o union_n but_o all_o dispute_n and_o argument_n in_o divinity_n be_v only_o fit_a for_o churchman_n who_o profession_n be_v to_o be_v teacher_n and_o instructor_n in_o the_o divine_a law_n and_o not_o for_o layman_n unless_o they_o intend_v to_o be_v churchman_n for_o as_o all_o national_a law_n have_v judge_n sergeant_n barrester_n attorney_n and_o the_o like_a to_o perform_v and_o execute_v the_o common_a and_o civil_a law_n that_o have_v be_v prudent_o enact_v for_o the_o good_a and_o benefit_n of_o the_o bodily_a life_n and_o commonwealth_n so_o there_o be_v bishop_n dean_n deacon_n parish-priest_n and_o curate_n to_o perform_v and_o execute_v the_o divine_a law_n which_o have_v be_v spiritual_o enact_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n soul_n and_o as_o lawyer_n be_v informer_n of_o the_o national_a law_n and_o pleader_n of_o cause_n so_o minister_n be_v informer_n of_o the_o divine_a law_n and_o teacher_n of_o good_a life_n and_o all_o spiritual_a cause_n shall_v be_v decide_v by_o the_o bishop_n as_o all_o national_a or_o human_a cause_n by_o the_o judge_n otherwise_o there_o will_v be_v a_o confusion_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n wherefore_o those_o that_o be_v not_o of_o that_o profession_n ought_v not_o to_o meddle_v therewith_o or_o dispute_v thereof_o but_o to_o submit_v to_o that_o which_o our_o forefather_n think_v fit_a to_o enact_v order_n and_o dispose_v for_o the_o good_a of_o their_o successor_n and_o succedent_fw-la time_n and_o so_o leave_v o._n g._n and_o c._n o._n to_o agree_v if_o they_o can_v i_o rest_v madam_n your_o faithful_a fr._n and_o s._n xxxviii_o madam_n you_o be_v please_v to_o desire_v that_o one_o of_o my_o servant_n shall_v inquire_v for_o sir_n n._n g._n and_o give_v he_o a_o letter_n or_o to_o leave_v the_o letter_n at_o his_o lodging_n madam_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o what_o i_o hear_v which_o be_v that_o he_o may_v be_v inquire_v for_o but_o before_o he_o can_v be_v find_v or_o his_o lodging_n know_v he_o will_v be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o town_n not_o that_o he_o obscure_v his_o lodging_n but_o that_o he_o stay_v not_o any_o where_o for_o he_o be_v like_o a_o shadow_n or_o a_o ghost_n when_o you_o think_v it_o be_v so_o near_o as_o to_o speak_v to_o it_o it_o straight_o appear_v afar_o off_o or_o vanish_v away_o and_o he_o be_v not_o only_o in_o this_o city_n but_o in_o every_o town_n for_o he_o ride_v from_o town_n to_o town_n as_o bird_n fly_v from_o tree_n to_o tree_n and_o his_o only_a business_n be_v for_o divertisement_n for_o health_n so_o that_o his_o life_n be_v as_o if_o it_o rid_v post_n but_o let_v he_o ride_v from_o death_n as_o far_o as_o he_o can_v and_o do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o shun_v it_o yet_o death_n will_v meet_v he_o at_o his_o journey_n end_v and_o there_o arrest_v he_o and_o imprison_v his_o body_n in_o a_o grave_a for_o time_n have_v lay_v a_o action_n of_o battery_n against_o he_o and_o have_v now_o threescore_o and_o fifteen_o year_n summon_v he_o to_o appear_v but_o as_o yet_o he_o keep_v out_o of_o sight_n and_o will_v as_o long_o as_o he_o can_v as_o we_o may_v perceive_v by_o his_o ride_n and_o short_a stay_n in_o every_o place_n he_o come_v to_o indeed_o nature_n have_v be_v his_o friend_n and_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o still_o and_o as_o long_o as_o she_o protect_v he_o death_n can_v get_v he_o nay_o she_o have_v favour_v he_o more_o than_o many_o of_o his_o neighbour_n or_o acquaintance_n for_o he_o never_o stay_v so_o long_o in_o one_o place_n as_o to_o make_v a_o neighbourhood_n but_o have_v acquaintance_n in_o every_o place_n neither_o do_v he_o tronble_a any_o acquaintance_n with_o long_a visit_n but_o only_o as_o to_o ask_v how_o they_o do_v and_o so_o farewell_n he_o do_v not_o stay_v to_o examine_v the_o long_a welfare_n of_o his_o old_a acquaintance_n nor_o to_o make_v tedious_a compliment_n with_o new_a acquaintance_n nor_o stay_v to_o inquire_v for_o those_o acquaintance_n he_o see_v not_o but_o he_o will_v make_v new_a acquaintance_n at_o first_o sight_n and_o this_o advantage_n he_o have_v by_o ride_v to_o several_a place_n if_o it_o be_v any_o that_o he_o hear_v more_o news_n than_o any_o other_o man_n for_o he_o meet_v news_n in_o every_o town_n which_o his_o
