of_o none_o effect_v by_o their_o misliving_a as_o we_o teach_v godliness_n and_o sobriety_n and_o condemn_v all_o excess_n and_o vanity_n so_o let_v our_o practice_n and_o example_n be_v answerable_a let_v we_o neither_o despise_v that_o holiness_n in_o any_o which_o we_o teach_v other_o nor_o give_v encouragement_n to_o any_o to_o do_v what_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v by_o our_o example_n
