in_o his_o conversation_n his_o discourse_n be_v common_o of_o useful_a thing_n it_o never_o cause_v trouble_n or_o weariness_n to_o the_o hearer_n yet_o he_o will_v venture_v to_o displease_v one_o

of_o speech_n so_o inoffensive_o it_o be_v his_o way_n of_o friendship_n not_o so_o much_o to_o oblige_v man_n as_o to_o do_v they_o good_a he_o do_v this_o not_o slight_o and_o superficial_o but_o like_o one_o that_o make_v it_o his_o business_n he_o dare_v do_v for_o his_o friend_n any_o thing_n that_o be_v honest_a and_o no_o more_o he_o will_v undertake_v nothing_o but_o what_o well_o

to_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n for_o those_o matter_n he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o it_o that_o as_o i_o have_v frequent_o hear_v from_o this_o his_o grandchild_n and_o other_o when_o

of_o that_o way_n and_o when_o he_o find_v they_o far_o off_o from_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n he_o may_v possible_o overdo_v through_o the_o vehemence_n of_o his_o desire_n to_o bring_v
