the_o great_a sobriety_n of_o his_o temper_n his_o unaffected_a humility_n and_o after_o a_o public_a aberration_n his_o perfect_a return_n into_o the_o way_n out_o of_o which_o for_o some_o year_n he_o have_v unhappy_o be_v seduce_v last_o of_o all_o when_o i_o remember_v how_o whilst_o nothing_o but_o prosperity_n make_v some_o in_o the_o world_n to_o hug_v their_o error_n he_o hate_v he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o the_o more_o he_o have_v prosper_v by_o its_o delusion_n which_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o the_o most_o generous_a and_o christian_a temper_n i_o think_v i_o may_v fit_o

in_o his_o absence_n of_o his_o perfection_n because_o so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v present_a i_o only_o tell_v he_o of_o his_o fault_n never_o leave_v he_o as_o a_o monitor_n until_o i_o think_v he_o

can_v not_o be_v so_o unkind_a a_o thing_n as_o not_o to_o afford_v he_o my_o reprehension_n yet_o still_o attend_v with_o respect_n in_o whatsoever_o regard_n i_o can_v think_v they_o useful_a and_o
