think_v it_o be_v a_o very_a horrible_a thing_n that_o this_o corruption_n in_o my_o heart_n and_o thought_n shall_v break_v out_o oh_o god_n forbid_v say_v he_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v never_o live_v to_o that_o time_n to_o be_v so_o leave_v of_o god_n as_o to_o commit_v this_o sin_n well_o thou_o think_v very_o that_o thou_o shall_v not_o commit_v it_o i_o but_o if_o thou_o take_v liberty_n to_o

if_o you_o will_v never_o dishonour_v your_o profession_n in_o your_o conversation_n a_o six_o rule_n be_v this_o if_o you_o will_v be_v careful_a of_o your_o conversation_n do_v not_o so_o much_o

rather_o as_o your_o mark_n and_o aim_v many_o christian_n live_v and_o their_o conversation_n be_v very_o dark_a and_o no_o beauty_n at_o all_o in_o they_o why_o because_o they_o think_v they_o

this_o make_v they_o go_v on_o in_o a_o dull_a and_o sluggish_a way_n but_o now_o if_o you_o will_v have_v your_o conversation_n indeed_o as_o it_o ought_v so_o as_o to_o be_v convince_a set_v before_o you_o the_o example_n of_o the_o most_o eminent_a of_o those_o who_o conversation_n do_v most_o glister_n not_o a_o mere_a glister_a show_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v they_o but_o that_o glister_v
