talk_v of_o he_o or_o with_o he_o but_o to_o show_v their_o utter_a dislike_n of_o he_o they_o use_v to_o say_v be_v this_o he_o or_o be_v thou_o he_o that_o will_v do_v such_o a_o thing_n be_v not_o

not_o find_v he_o this_o be_v a_o most_o despiteful_a kind_n of_o speak_v and_o do_v bewray_v a_o abundance_n of_o malice_n that_o be_v hide_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o be_v it_o not_o so_o between_o some_o husband_n and_o wife_n and_o their_o neighbour_n they_o can_v speak_v one_o to_o another_o but_o disdain_n and_o anger_n will_v not_o suffer_v the_o one_o to_o afford_v unto_o the_o other_o their_o name_n and_o their_o title_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o those_o duty_n which_o these_o name_n require_v whereout_o satan_n suck_v no_o small_a advantage_n and_o these_o

they_o strive_v to_o eat_v up_o one_o another_o at_o law_n now_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o teacher_n must_v show_v themselves_o like_o father_n then_o by_o the_o same_o law_n the_o people_n

when_o he_o do_v threaten_v we_o god_n do_v threaten_v we_o when_o he_o do_v promise_v we_o any_o thing_n god_n do_v promise_v it_o when_o he_o do_v show_v patience_n it_o be_v god_n patience_n if_o
