young_a man_n be_v not_o a_o naked_a repetition_n but_o withal_o a_o amplification_n there_o be_v a_o double_a reason_n maybe_o assign_v why_o he_o write_v to_o father_n and_o young_a man_n twice_o and_o but_o once_o to_o child_n 1._o because_o his_o discourse_n be_v principal_o intend_v for_o father_n young_a man_n look_v as_o in_o our_o preach_n though_o sometime_o occasional_o we_o instruct_v little_a child_n yet_o we_o must_v frequent_o direct_v our_o discourse_n to_o those_o who_o be_v draw_v up_o to_o year_n of_o discretion_n so_o no_o doubt_n our_o apostle_n design_v this_o epistle_n for_o and_o therefore_o direct_v his_o writing_n to_o the_o young_a and_o old_a christian_n 2._o because_o the_o thing_n about_o which_o our_o apostle_n write_v be_v such_o which_o young_a man_n and_o
