much_o lord_n of_o his_o own_o charity_n as_o to_o choose_v the_o chief_a object_n of_o it_o it_o be_v true_a that_o i_o must_v love_v my_o neighbour_n and_o every_o man_n be_v so_o but_o certain_o without_o offence_n i_o may_v more_o incline_v to_o he_o by_o who_o wisdom_n i_o be_o instruct_v or_o by_o who_o bounty_n support_v i_o may_v select_v he_o for_o my_o companion_n before_o another_o who_o best_o suit_n with_o my_o humour_n provide_v it_o be_v not_o vicious_a and_o the_o benefit_n or_o innocent_a gayness_n of_o life_n be_v cause_n enough_o for_o preference_n in_o election_n i_o know_v there_o be_v some_o man_n of_o more_o envy_n than_o wit_n or_o wisdom_n that_o esteem_v such_o meeting_n and_o feast_n of_o charity_n as_o these_o we_o this_o day_n celebrate_v as_o the_o effect_n of_o pride_n and_o the_o parent_n of_o separation_n in_o a_o community_n that_o think_v man_n by_o thus_o do_v esteem_v much_o better_a of_o themselves_o than_o of_o other_o and_o suppose_v they_o make_v a_o league_n against_o all_o other_o whilst_o they_o make_v one_o of_o friendship_n among_o themselves_o and_o what_o be_v only_a concord_n they_o name_v conspiracy_n but_o let_v such_o man_n know_v that_o whilst_o they_o pretend_v a_o breach_n of_o charity_n in_o other_o they_o make_v a_o extreme_o wide_a one_o themselves_o and_o for_o want_v of_o line_n to_o sound_v the_o true_a depth_n of_o thing_n like_o all_o zealot_n they_o grow_v malicious_a whilst_o they_o will_v approve_v themselves_o instructer_n but_o we_o be_v not_o at_o this_o time_n more_o bind_v to_o satisfy_v their_o ignorance_n than_o to_o love_v it_o certain_o there_o can_v be_v any_o more_o natural_a cause_n for_o the_o unite_n man_n into_o the_o conjunction_n of_o love_n and_o charity_n than_o a_o similitude_n in_o education_n the_o same_z rule_n and_o principle_n produce_v most_o common_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o in_o spite_n of_o business_n and_o all_o the_o other_o avocation_n of_o humane_a life_n something_o will_v remain_v of_o what_o be_v former_o imbibe_v we_o see_v man_n of_o the_o great_a business_n wisdom_n and_o grandeur_n still_o recollect_v what_o they_o act_v in_o their_o first_o day_n and_o then_o bring_v in_o some_o person_n who_o familiarity_n then_o be_v perhaps_o the_o great_a cause_n of_o a_o friendship_n now_o if_o then_o likeness_n and_o congruity_n may_v be_v admit_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o friendship_n and_o love_n and_o similitude_n of_o education_n be_v the_o most_o apt_a to_o produce_v that_o we_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n firm_o to_o link_v ourselves_o into_o a_o society_n who_o first_o meet_v together_o spring_v from_o so_o great_a a_o cause_n and_o have_v since_o produce_v so_o good_a effect_n of_o friendship_n i_o know_v there_o be_v some_o indeed_o who_o be_v neither_o wit_n or_o manner_n can_v ever_o prove_v that_o they_o have_v be_v in_o a_o school_n who_o be_v always_o traduce_v not_o only_o the_o method_n but_o the_o author_n of_o their_o education_n and_o of_o such_o the_o next_o subject_n will_v be_v their_o parent_n and_o the_o next_o their_o god_n but_o certain_o all_o sober_a man_n must_v acknowledge_v that_o they_o deserve_v exceed_o well_o of_o the_o public_a that_o can_v make_v themselves_o so_o miserable_a as_o to_o labour_v in_o the_o instruction_n of_o youth_n the_o toil_n be_v they_o though_o the_o fruit_n be_v we_o and_o yet_o let_v the_o best_a man_n here_o sink_v into_o himself_o and_o he_o will_v soon_o confess_v that_o if_o he_o have_v follow_v strict_o those_o principle_n he_o bring_v with_o he_o from_o school_n he_o have_v be_v much_o a_o better_a christian_a though_o not_o perhaps_o a_o rich_a man_n than_o he_o be_v it_o be_v not_o the_o fault_n of_o a_o seneca_n but_o of_o nero_n himself_o that_o he_o prove_v wicked_a let_v we_o all_o labour_n to_o live_v after_o the_o practical_a principle_n at_o least_o which_o be_v instill_a into_o we_o within_o those_o wall_n and_o make_v that_o place_n henceforward_o as_o immortal_a by_o our_o piety_n as_o some_o have_v do_v already_o by_o their_o learned_a part_n let_v we_o imitate_v the_o action_n of_o the_o great_a apostle_n in_o this_o day_n and_o if_o any_o man_n have_v be_v a_o persecutor_n of_o his_o saviour_n as_o every_o sinner_n be_v the_o great_a his_o malice_n have_v prove_v the_o soon_o let_v he_o return_v and_o appear_v the_o more_o faithful_a servant_n to_o his_o abuse_a lord_n let_v our_o charity_n to_o one_o another_o increase_n as_o the_o year_n grow_v more_o numerous_a upon_o we_o and_o in_o this_o innocent_a custom_n continue_v till_o year_n shall_v loose_v themselves_o into_o eternity_n other_o action_n perhaps_o may_v proclaim_v we_o great_a but_o this_o will_v declare_v we_o good_n let_v other_o upon_o very_o strange_a principle_n as_o much_o as_o they_o please_v think_v rebellion_n meritorious_a and_o murder_v lawful_a canonize_v the_o author_n of_o discord_n and_o make_v traitor_n saint_n but_o let_v we_o show_v ourselves_o christian_n by_o those_o noble_a way_n of_o unity_n concord_n peace_n and_o love_n and_o then_o our_o great_a master_n who_o be_v himself_o the_o miracle_n of_o charity_n will_v lead_v we_o into_o those_o serene_a and_o bless_a place_n where_o love_n reign_v in_o its_o full_a perfection_n and_o a_o constant_a
