any_o thing_n that_o be_v commendable_a the_o apostle_n will_v have_v the_o philippian_n serious_o to_o think_v on_o it_o with_o themselves_o and_o diligent_o to_o practice_v it_o in_o their_o life_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v whence_o i_o observe_v this_o note_n for_o we_o and_o for_o all_o christian_n that_o we_o all_o of_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v our_o heart_n set_v and_o our_o frete_z press_v

the_o prophet_n david_n 3.11_o psal_n 34.14_o 1._o pet._n 3.11_o and_o out_o of_o he_o the_o apostle_n peter_n eschew_v evil_a and_o do_v good_a neither_o of_o they_o insist_v upon_o any_o

2.10_o to_o every_o man_n say_v he_o that_o do_v good_a shall_v be_v glory_n and_o honour_n and_o peace_n but_o what_o shall_v other_o motive_n need_v then_o this_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v good_a be_v only_o good_a by_o participation_n with_o god_n who_o alone_o be_v good_a as_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o 1â—_n math._n 19_o 1â—_n true_o and_o proper_o and_o of_o his_o own_o nature_n good_a
