as_o all_o motion_n and_o action_n be_v first_o upon_o the_o near_a object_n so_o must_v we_o and_o do_v good_a must_v be_v in_o order_n first_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o home_n with_o our_o own_o

but_o mark_v that_o the_o order_n of_o execution_n and_o the_o order_n of_o estimation_n and_o intention_n differ_v though_o god_n set_v up_o light_n so_o small_a as_o will_v serve_v but_o for_o one_o

no_o bound_n to_o our_o endeavour_n but_o what_o god_n and_o disability_n set_v ii_o but_o what_o be_v that_o good_a that_o we_o must_v do_v good_a be_v a_o attribute_n of_o be_v and_o be_v its_o

the_o prime_a notion_n of_o the_o creature_n goodness_n be_v its_o conformity_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o the_o second_o be_v its_o own_o perfection_n as_o its_o own_o which_o indeed_o be_v

universal_a good_a which_o leave_v no_o evil_a be_v better_a than_o a_o particular_a good_a 7._o that_o be_v the_o best_a good_a as_o to_o mean_n which_o most_o conduce_v to_o the_o evil_n 8._o there_o be_v no_o earthly_a good_a that_o be_v not_o mix_v with_o some_o evil_n nor_o any_o commodity_n that_o have_v not_o some_o inconvenience_n or_o discommodity_n 9_o no_o sin_n must_v be_v do_v for_o any_o good_a 10._o some_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v for_o good_a which_o will_v be_v sin_n be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o good_a which_o they_o be_v do_v for_o it_o will_v be_v sin_n to_o give_v a_o

great_a good_n may_v make_v a_o duty_n your_o own_o defence_n may_v make_v it_o a_o duty_n to_o strike_v another_o which_o else_o will_v be_v a_o sin_n 11._o in_o such_o case_n there_o be_v need_n of_o great_a prudence_n and_o impartiality_n to_o know_v whether_o the_o good_a or_o the_o evil_n do_v preponderate_a and_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o action_n of_o our_o life_n must_v be_v

a_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n do_v not_o do_v more_o hurt_n than_o good_a 1._o he_o that_o will_v do_v his_o country_n good_a must_v know_v what_o be_v good_a and_o what_o be_v bad_a a_o fool_n
