2._o moderation_n in_o our_o desire_n desire_n be_v either_o spiritual_a or_o worldly_a as_o to_o spiritual_a desire_n we_o seldom_o be_v immoderate_a but_o it_o be_v our_o great_a excellency_n to_o

they_o be_v conversant_a either_o about_o profit_n pleasure_n or_o honour_n in_o all_o which_o our_o desire_n shall_v be_v moderate_a as_o to_o profit_n we_o be_v not_o to_o desire_v profit_n so_o
