eternal_a salvation_n become_v so_o trivial_a a_o thing_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v unconcern_v about_o it_o do_v we_o yield_v the_o cause_n to_o these_o half-witted_a profligate_n do_v we_o acknowledge_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v indeed_o ridiculous_a or_o do_v we_o confess_v ourselves_o the_o very_a coward_n in_o the_o world_n and_o judge_v ourselves_o unworthy_a of_o eternal_a life_n for_o shame_n let_v we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v either_o cow_v or_o bias_v by_o such_o example_n that_o we_o resolve_v to_o make_v better_o where_o we_o can_v find_v they_o why_o shall_v we_o think_v so_o mean_o of_o ourselves_o as_o to_o follow_v only_o and_o not_o to_o lead_v in_o a_o word_n why_o may_v not_o we_o begin_v a_o good_a fashion_n rather_o than_o fall_v in_o with_o a_o bad_a one_o beside_o i_o persuade_v myself_o this_o will_n be_v no_o very_o hard_a thing_n to_o do_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o authority_n and_o majesty_n of_o sincere_a and_o generous_a piety_n and_o the_o guilt_n and_o base_a spiritedness_n of_o vice_n and_o profaneness_n if_o we_o be_v soft_a and_o timorous_a that_o grow_v rampant_a and_o intolerable_a but_o if_o virtue_n shine_v out_o in_o its_o own_o ray_n it_o dazzle_v and_o baffle_v all_o those_o bird_n of_o night_n if_o man_n will_v be_v persuade_v to_o assert_v their_o own_o principle_n manful_o to_o talk_v of_o god_n worthy_o and_o courageous_o the_o very_a russian_n will_v present_o be_v gag_v and_o tongue-tied_a as_o in_o conjuration_n they_o say_v name_n but_o god_n and_o the_o devil_n vanish_v so_o enter_v resolute_o into_o pious_a conference_n and_o it_o will_v present_o lay_v all_o the_o oath_n and_o blasphemy_n and_o scurrilous_a talk_n of_o those_o desperate_a wretch_n and_o by_o the_o way_n this_o be_v the_o most_o gentile_a and_o also_o the_o most_o effectual_a way_n of_o reprove_v that_o kind_n of_o person_n namely_o to_o deal_v with_o they_o as_o scholar_n deal_v by_o one_o another_o when_o any_o one_o speak_v false_a latin_a they_o only_o repeat_v it_o after_o he_o in_o true_a latin_a and_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o here_o let_v we_o speak_v right_a thing_n of_o god_n when_o they_o speak_v amiss_o and_o there_o need_v no_o more_o to_o damp_n they_o they_o will_v either_o turn_v on_o your_o side_n and_o speak_v as_o you_o do_v or_o leave_v the_o field_n to_o you_o this_o this_o philander_n therefore_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o mend_v the_o world_n and_o without_o this_o it_o will_v hardly_o ever_o be_v do_v it_o be_v not_o good_a book_n and_o preach_v that_o will_v

out_o this_o deaf_a but_o not_o dumb_a devil_n but_o when_o good_a man_n be_v as_o bold_a as_o evil_a man_n be_v impudent_a i_o mean_v as_o open_o good_a as_o the_o other_o be_v bad_a when_o piety_n be_v dare_v and_o if_o you_o will_v pardon_v the_o expression_n hector_n lewdness_n out_o of_o countenance_n then_o i_o say_v the_o world_n will_v if_o not_o grow_v devout_a yet_o at_o least_o grow_v modest_a and_o civil_a towards_o religion_n when_o virtuous_a man_n give_v evidence_n that_o they_o believe_v themselves_o when_o they_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v not_o in_o
