the_o tail_n like_o sampsons_n fox_n to_o work_v mischief_n withal_o better_a do_v you_o say_v to_o do_v this_o than_o to_o do_v worse_o indeed_o i_o know_v that_o of_o evil_n some_o be_v worse_o than_o other_o but_o for_o their_o degree_n in_o goodness_n i_o think_v of_o they_o as_o of_o the_o fox_n whelp_n there_o be_v never_o a_o better_a for_o there_o be_v never_o a_o good_a but_o they_o be_v all_o naught_o and_o therefore_o this_o thou_o may_v true_o say_v it_o be_v not_o so_o bad_a to_o do_v this_o as_o to_o do_v worse_o but_o this_o can_v justify_v the_o do_n of_o either_o indeed_o we_o use_v to_o say_v of_o evil_n the_o least_o must_v be_v choose_v but_o if_o the_o evil_n be_v sin_n than_o i_o say_v of_o evil_n neither_o must_v be_v choose_v and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o foolish_a kind_n of_o reason_v to_o justify_v evil_a by_o worse_a as_o whoredom_n by_o the_o stew_n tell_v i_o if_o a_o thief_n shall_v set_v upon_o thou_o in_o the_o way_n and_o shall_v use_v this_o argument_n sir_n it_o be_v better_a to_o rob_v you_o than_o to_o kill_v you_o and_o therefore_o give_v i_o your_o purse_n will_v thou_o be_v so_o sheepish_a unless_o he_o bring_v club_n argument_n

good_a kind_n of_o reason_v i_o dare_v undertake_v to_o maintain_v and_o justify_v any_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n by_o that_o which_o be_v worse_o the_o worst_a sin_n only_o except_v but_o i_o be_o

yet_o if_o wantonness_n be_v if_o foolish_a iessing_n if_o it_o be_v a_o unfruitful_a work_n of_o darkness_n if_o not_o agree_v unto_o our_o christian_a profession_n if_o dangerous_a in_o regard_n

as_o it_o must_v be_v keep_v in_o all_o the_o commandment_n so_o above_o all_o in_o this_o commandment_n because_o in_o any_o one_o vain_a or_o sinful_a speech_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n we_o sin_v

of_o such_o a_o temper_n as_o to_o hold_v out_o still_o if_o our_o nature_n be_v not_o repair_v and_o refresh_v but_o it_o be_v like_a unto_o a_o bow_n if_o it_o stand_v long_o bend_v it_o will_v
