business_n that_o be_v very_o frequent_a and_o take_v up_o a_o very_a considerable_a part_n of_o our_o life_n for_o it_o be_v very_o obvious_a and_o easy_a to_o observe_v that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o our_o action_n of_o life_n be_v the_o think_v and_o judge_v and_o talk_v and_o discourse_v of_o other_o person_n their_o quality_n and_o action_n the_o charity_n be_v in_o the_o last_o of_o the_o six_o particular_n the_o contrary_a of_o which_o i_o here_o think_v principal_o prohibit_v which_o be_v to_o judge_n out_o of_o any_o nltimate_a selfishness_n and_o therefore_o not_o out_o of_o busibodiness_a hatred_n revenge_n pride_n affectation_n of_o superiority_n envy_n contempt_n anger_n flattery_n or_o the_o like_a but_o if_o this_o bad_a principle_n be_v prohibit_v than_o if_o ever_o judge_v be_v permit_v in_o any_o case_n as_o sure_o it_o be_v the_o contrary_a of_o charity_n be_v command_v for_o one_o of_o those_o end_n and_o principle_n must_v be_v our_o prudence_n be_v concern_v in_o the_o other_o five_o prohibit_v judgement_n viz._n to_o be_v too_o prone_a to_o judge_n in_o general_n to_o be_v too_o much_o incline_v to_o judge_n on_o the_o worst_a side_n to_o judge_v rash_o to_o judge_v false_o to_o be_v too_o forward_o in_o declare_v our_o judgement_n all_o the_o cause_n consequence_n remedy_n and_o rule_n i_o have_v mention_v be_v but_o more_o particulary_a motive_n and_o incentives_n to_o our_o charity_n or_o direction_n for_o our_o prudence_n and_o now_o therefore_o i_o hearty_o exhort_v you_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o what_o have_v be_v speak_v that_o you_o will_v adorn_v this_o part_n of_o your_o conversation_n with_o the_o two_o most_o excellent_a ornament_n not_o only_o of_o our_o soul_n but_o of_o the_o divine_a nature_n itself_o
