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

help_v not_o a_o little_a to_o persuade_v the_o mind_n and_o to_o win_v the_o affection_n yea_o the_o very_a mention_v of_o those_o name_n do_v oftentimes_o leave_v a_o print_n of_o duty_n behind_o in_o the_o conscience_n many_o think_v themselves_o sufficient_o discharge_v if_o they_o speak_v the_o truth_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n they_o think_v after_o what_o manner_n it_o be_v do_v think_v to_o prevail_v by_o boisterous_a term_n nicke-name_n and_o word_n of_o disgrace_n but_o they_o be_v deceive_v for_o if_o term_n of_o love_n and_o kindness_n will_v not_o prevail_v word_n of_o

another_o the_o devil_n do_v hunt_v they_o both_o until_o both_o of_o they_o become_v a_o prey_n unto_o the_o devil_n like_o man_n which_o make_v themselves_o a_o prey_n unto_o the_o lawyer_n while_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 must_v show_v themselves_o like_o child_n if_o the_o minister_n must_v for_o his_o part_n seek_v they_o with_o a_o father_n affection_n then_o they_o for_o their_o part_n must_v not_o be_v want_v with_o a_o son-like_a affection_n his_o authority_n for_o god_n bind_v they_o to_o reverence_v he_o as_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n &_o to_o obey_v he_o as_o if_o god_n himself_o do_v command_v

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 he_o do_v forbear_v thou_o god_n do_v forbear_v thou_o and_o all_o this_o be_v do_v for_o thy_o good_a therefore_o they_o that_o abuse_v the_o minister_n patience_n as_o he_o be_v a_o minister_n do_v
