they_o place_v a_o man_n in_o state_n of_o perfection_n but_o to_o come_v to_o perfection_n itself_o it_o suffice_v that_o they_o be_v well_o observe_v for_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n

not_o all_o after_o one_o fashion_n 2._o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o obedience_n the_o one_o necessary_a the_o other_o voluntary_a by_o necessary_a obedience_n thou_o must_v obey_v thy_o

they_o when_o they_o command_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v agreeable_a to_o thy_o own_o will_n as_o to_o eat_v to_o recreate_v thyself_o for_o though_o it_o seem_v no_o great_a virtue_n to_o obey_v in_o these_o occasion_n yet_o will_v it_o be_v a_o great_a vice_n to_o disobey_v in_o they_o obey_v they_o when_o they_o command_v thing_n that_o be_v indifferent_a in_o themselves_o or_o in_o thy_o
