do_v not_o hide_v and_o cover_v over_o our_o vice_n with_o the_o cloak_n of_o virtue_n or_o rather_o hypocrisy_n for_o like_a as_o the_o eye_n can_v look_v upward_o and_o downward_o similitude_n similitude_n both_o at_o one_o time_n no_o more_o can_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n apply_v vice_n and_o virtue_n together_o and_o as_o in_o a_o pair_n of_o table_n nothing_o may_v be_v well_o write_v before_o the_o blot_n and_o blur_n be_v wipe_v out_o so_o virtue_n can_v abide_v with_o any_o except_o he_o first_o put_v away_o his_o vice_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o a_o godly_a father_n we_o can_v attain_v unto_o the_o kingdom_n of_o virtue_n except_o we_o first_o shake_v of_o the_o yoke_n of_o vice_n this_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n therefore_o why_o so_o many_o desire_n virtue_n &_o so_o few_o attain_n unto_o it_o because_o few_o man_n will_v forgo_v for_o virtue_n sake_n that_o vice_n and_o sin_n which_o he_o best_a love_v many_o perhaps_o will_v leave_v for_o a_o time_n some_o it_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o do_v desire_v virtue_n but_o yet_o not_o attain_v unto_o it_o certain_a vice_n because_o they_o will_v seem_v to_o be_v virtuous_a but_o when_o virtue_n come_v to_o be_v their_o guest_n one_o foul_a sin_n or_o other_o beat_v she_o back_o again_o one_o will_v leave_v swear_v drunkenness_n and_o such_o like_a another_o will_v forsake_v theft_n or_o steal_v with_o the_o hand_n a_o other_o lie_v and_o falswitnes_n bear_v but_o yet_o every_o one_o of_o these_o will_v be_v either_o a_o idolater_n adulterer_n or_o usurer_n and_o so_o still_o retain_v one_o sin_n or_o other_o to_o chase_v virtue_n from_o they_o thus_o leave_v of_o some_o sin_n shall_v be_v a_o cloak_n unto_o they_o to_o cover_v other_o more_o foul_a vice_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v seem_v unto_o the_o world_n virtuous_a and_o religinous_a but_o even_o as_o iron_n &_o similitude_n a_o similitude_n clay_n can_v be_v temper_v together_o no_o more_o can_v vice_n &_o virtue_n agree_v
