have_v discharge_v that_o he_o come_v to_o parent_n and_o master_n and_o child_n and_o servant_n and_o such_o particular_a duty_n because_o the_o spring_n of_o our_o duty_n to_o man_n be_v our_o

he_o have_v a_o conceit_n they_o will_v abuse_v his_o wife_n sure_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v not_o here_o therefore_o he_o think_v they_o will_v not_o be_v afraid_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n he_o that_o fear_v not_o god_n if_o opportunity_n serve_v he_o will_v not_o be_v afraid_a to_o violate_v the_o second_o table_n he_o that_o fear_v god_n he_o will_v reason_v how_o shall_v i_o do_v this_o

all_o breach_n of_o god_n will_v come_v from_o spiritual_a folly_n why_o do_v he_o begin_v with_o transgression_n against_o the_o first_o table_n and_o then_o iniquity_n the_o breach_n of_o the_o
