i_o have_v a_o long_a time_n hold_v my_o peace_n say_v god_n i_o have_v be_v still_o and_o refrain_v myself_o four_o it_o be_v best_o because_o when_o we_o speak_v least_o to_o man_n we_o have_v our_o

make_v a_o promise_n upon_o it_o isaiah_n 30._o 15._o and_o sixthly_a it_o be_v best_o because_o it_o be_v a_o mean_a to_o work_v out_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n to_o make_v the_o same_o and_o his_o power_n manifest_a for_o if_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n which_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v express_v by_o word_v work_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n as_o saint_n james_n say_v james_n 3._o 6._o then_o patient_a and_o silent_a bear_n and_o forbear_v may_v be_v available_a to_o effect_v this_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o contrary_n thus_o you_o see_v silence_n be_v best_a and_o as_o it_o be_v best_o or_o because_o so_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o safe_a it_o will_v keep_v a_o man_n from_o wrath_n &_o from_o a_o great_a measure_n thereof_o from_o wrath_n in_o his_o own_o

speech_n appease_v strife_n second_o it_o be_v most_o safe_a for_o it_o will_v not_o only_o shelter_v a_o man_n from_o the_o great_a wrath_n of_o the_o enemy_n but_o it_o will_v cause_v the_o enemy_n to_o stand_v in_o a_o kind_n of_o a_o we_o and_o fear_n of_o a_o man_n 1_o sam._n 18._o 14._o 15._o david_n walk_v wise_o he_o say_v or_o do_v little_a notwithstanding_o so_o mu●h_o be_v say_v and_o
