thy_o body_n again_o with_o great_a glory_n and_o in_o steed_n of_o thy_o money_n he_o will_v give_v thou_o such_o good_n as_o do_v surmount_v all_o the_o power_n of_o reason_n to_o esteem_v of_o

unto_o we_o with_o great_a glory_n therefore_o cast_v away_o all_o sorrowful_a anguish_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o superfluous_a care_n let_v we_o return_v again_o unto_o ourselves_o let_v we_o garnish_v our_o body_n and_o soul_n with_o the_o ornament_n of_o virtue_n make_v the_o member_n of_o our_o body_n weapon_n of_o righteousness_n and_o not_o of_o sin_n and_o before_o all_o thing_n let_v we_o teach_v our_o tongue_n to_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o grace_n put_v away_o out_o of_o our_o mouth_n all_o poison_a and_o malicious_a speech_n and_o the_o meditation_n of_o filthy_a word_n for_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n assist_v we_o we_o may_v make_v every_o one_o of_o our_o member_n instrument_n of_o righteousness_n as_o they_o who_o grace_n do_v not_o prevent_v do_v make_v their_o member_n instrument_n of_o wickedness_n hear_v therefore_o how_o some_o have_v make_v their_o tongue_n weapon_n of_o sin_n and_o how_o some_o have_v make_v they_o weapon_n of_o righteousness_n the_o prophet_n david_n say_v of_o some_o 45.2_o psal_n 57.5_o psal_n 45.2_o their_o tongue_n be_v a_o sharp_a sword_n but_o of_o himself_o he_o say_v my_o tongue_n be_v the_o pen_n of_o a_o ready_a writer_n the_o tongue_n of_o the_o one_o write_v death_n the_o other_o do_v write_v the_o law_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o tongue_n of_o the_o one_o be_v a_o sword_n and_o the_o tongue_n of_o the_o other_o a_o pen_n not_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o disposition_n of_o those_o that_o use_v they_o for_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o tongue_n both_o of_o the_o one_o party_n and_o of_o the_o other_o be_v all_o one_o but_o they_o have_v not_o both_o one_o operation_n and_o again_o the_o like_o we_o may_v see_v concern_v the_o mouth_n for_o some_o have_v their_o mouth_n full_a of_o filthy_a corruption_n and_o wickedness_n therefore_o the_o prophet_n accuse_v they_o say_v 10.7_o psal_n 10.7_o their_o mouth_n be_v full_a of_o curse_v &_o bitterness_n but_o his_o mouth_n be_v otherwise_o incline_v 49.3_o psal_n 49.3_o therefore_o he_o say_v my_o mouth_n shall_v speak_v of_o wisdom_n and_o my_o hart_n shall_v muse_v of_o understanding_n again_o some_o have_v hand_n full_a of_o wickedness_n &_o blame_v they_o he_o say_v iniquity_n be_v in_o their_o hand_n 26.10_o psal_n 26.10_o and_o their_o right_a hand_n be_v full_a of_o gift_n but_o he_o have_v his_o hand_n chief_o accustom_v to_o nothing_o else_o but_o to_o be_v lift_v up_o towards_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o he_o also_o speak_v of_o they_o say_v 141.2_o psal_n 141.2_o let_v the_o lift_n up_o of_o my_o hand_n be_v a_o evening_n sacrifice_n and_o the_o like_a we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o hart_n for_o their_o hart_n be_v vain_a but_o his_o heart_n be_v true_a and_o upright_o therefore_o he_o say_v of_o they_o 45.1_o psal_n 5.9_o psal_n 45.1_o their_o heart_n be_v foul_a and_o vain_a but_o of_o his_o own_o heart_n he_o say_v my_o heart_n be_v indite_v of_o a_o good_a matter_n and_o again_o a_o man_n may_v see_v the_o like_a example_n concern_v the_o hear_n for_o some_o have_v such_o a_o kind_n of_o hear_v as_o beast_n have_v that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o fierce_a and_o impatient_a hear_n and_o reprove_v they_o he_o say_v 58.4_o psal_n 58.4_o they_o be_v like_o the_o deaf_a adder_n that_o stop_v her_o ear_n but_o his_o hear_n be_v a_o receptacle_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o this_o he_o declare_v say_v i_o will_v incline_v my_o ear_n unto_o the_o parable_n 19.4_o psal_n 19.4_o and_o show_v my_o dark_a speech_n upon_o the_o harp_n therefore_o see_v that_o we_o know_v these_o thing_n let_v we_o arm_v ourselves_o on_o every_o side_n with_o virtue_n &_o so_o we_o shall_v escape_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o let_v we_o make_v our_o bodily_a member_n weapon_n of_o righteousness_n and_o let_v we_o teach_v our_o eye_n and_o our_o mouth_n and_o our_o hand_n and_o our_o foot_n &_o our_o heart_n and_o our_o tongue_n and_o all_o our_o body_n to_o be_v conformable_a unto_o virtue_n and_o let_v we_o remember_v those_o three_o precept_n whereof_o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o in_o the_o former_a sermon_n desire_v you_o that_o you_o bear_v enmity_n to_o no_o man_n neither_o speak_v you_o evil_a of_o any_o of_o they_o that_o have_v cause_v your_o sorrow_n and_o that_o you_o will_v put_v away_o that_o ungodly_a custom_n of_o swear_v out_o of_o your_o mouth_n and_o of_o these_o two_o first_o precept_n we_o shall_v entreat_v at_o a_o other_o time_n but_o all_o this_o present_a week_n we_o will_v speak_v unto_o you_o as_o touch_v swear_v begin_v at_o the_o easy_a precept_n for_o it_o be_v no_o labour_n to_o overcome_v the_o custom_n of_o vain_a oath_n if_o we_o will_v bestow_v but_o a_o little_a study_n one_o of_o we_o to_o exhort_v another_o and_o to_o advertise_v and_o mark_v one_o another_o require_v a_o account_n of_o ourselves_o and_o rehearse_v the_o punishment_n that_o we_o deserve_v for_o the_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v forget_v to_o observe_v for_o i_o pray_v you_o what_o shall_v the_o abstinence_n from_o meat_n profit_v we_o except_o we_o expel_v the_o wicked_a custom_n of_o the_o mind_n behold_v we_o have_v now_o pass_v this_o whole_a day_n in_o fast_v in_o the_o evening_n therefore_o let_v we_o set_v forth_o our_o table_n not_o like_a as_o it_o be_v yesterday_o but_o let_v our_o diet_n be_v change_v and_o more_o moderate_a can_v any_o of_o we_o now_o say_v that_o this_o day_n he_o have_v change_v his_o life_n as_o he_o have_v change_v his_o table_n that_o he_o have_v change_v his_o wicked_a custom_n of_o sin_v as_o he_o have_v change_v his_o diet_n else_o what_o shall_v our_o fast_a profit_n we_o therefore_o i_o exhort_v you_o and_o cease_v not_o to_o exhort_v you_o that_o you_o take_v every_o several_a precept_n by_o itself_o &_o diligent_o bestow_v two_o or_o three_o day_n in_o perform_v the_o same_o and_o so_o to_o proceed_v and_o per_fw-la severe_a in_o obedience_n and_o as_o there_o be_v some_o that_o envy_n other_o in_o fast_v &_o do_v wonderful_o contend_v about_o abstain_v from_o meat_n and_o some_o do_v pass_v two_o whole_a day_n fast_v and_o other_o some_o exclude_v from_o their_o table_n not_o only_o the_o use_n of_o wine_n &_o oil_n but_o also_o every_o kind_n of_o dish_n do_v pass_v the_o whole_a time_n of_o lent_n use_v only_a bread_n and_o water_n so_o let_v we_o also_o contend_v to_o chase_v away_o the_o hurtful_a shower_n of_o swear_v and_o to_o banish_v that_o ungodly_a custom_n from_o we_o for_o this_o be_v more_o profitable_a than_o all_o fast_a this_o be_v more_o commodious_a than_o all_o straightness_n of_o live_v and_o the_o care_n that_o we_o have_v about_o abstain_v from_o meat_n let_v we_o employ_v it_o about_o refrain_v from_o swear_v for_o we_o shall_v incur_v the_o crime_n of_o extreme_a folly_n if_o we_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o shun_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v forbid_v we_o &_o apply_v all_o our_o study_n about_o thing_n indifferent_a for_o to_o eat_v our_o meat_n be_v a_o thing_n not_o forbid_v but_o to_o swear_v we_o be_v forbid_v dare_v we_o they_o abstain_v from_o thing_n grant_v commit_v thing_n that_o be_v forbid_v therefore_o of_o charity_n i_o exhort_v you_o to_o make_v some_o change_n of_o your_o evil_a life_n &_o upon_o this_o exhortation_n to_o show_v a_o beginning_n hereof_o in_o yourselves_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v accomplish_v this_o present_a fast_n with_o so_o great_a care_n put_v this_o in_o effect_n namely_o that_o this_o week_n we_o will_v not_o swear_v and_o the_o week_n next_o ensue_a to_o extinguish_v wrath_n and_o envy_n &_o the_o next_o week_n after_o utter_o to_o root_v out_o backbiting_a and_o evil_a speak_n and_o then_o after_o that_o amend_v other_o fault_n &_o abuse_n so_o go_v forward_o the_o right_a way_n we_o shall_v by_o little_a &_o little_o come_v to_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o virtue_n &_o shall_v escape_v this_o present_a danger_n and_o shall_v pacify_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n and_o the_o multitude_n shall_v come_v again_o unto_o we_o into_o the_o city_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v teach_v they_o that_o be_v fall_v away_o by_o fly_v to_o commit_v the_o hope_n of_o our_o safety_n not_o to_o any_o strong_a munition_n of_o place_n nor_o to_o any_o vain_a refuge_n or_o fly_v away_o but_o unto_o godliness_n of_o mind_n good_a disposition_n and_o virtuous_a inclination_n and_o thus_o direct_v our_o life_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v both_o enjoy_v these_o temporal_a good_a thing_n and_o also_o those_o eternal_a and_o
