ought_v to_o love_n and_o embrace_v one_o another_o it_o be_v a_o prodigious_a sight_n to_o see_v one_o stone_n in_o a_o building_n to_o justle_v with_o another_o we_o be_v as_o 2.5_o live_v stone_n in_o god_n spiritual_a building_n let_v we_o therefore_o by_o love_n lie_v close_o by_o one_o another_o let_v we_o not_o justle_v one_o another_o if_o a_o house_n be_v divide_v against_o itself_o how_o shall_v it_o stand_v we_o be_v god_n house_n &_o houshold-seruant_n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v divide_v against_o ourselves_o lest_o his_o house_n fall_v down_o upon_o our_o head_n division_n be_v a_o forerunner_n of_o destruction_n therefore_o as_o one_o stone_n in_o a_o build_n bear_v up_o another_o sometime_o a_o little_a one_o bear_v a_o great_a and_o sometime_o the_o

always_o remember_v that_o we_o be_v the_o stone_n of_o one_o building_n and_o all_o lay_v by_o one_o maistermason_n corn_n in_o one_o field_n plant_n in_o one_o orchard_n tree_n in_o one_o wood_n

therefore_o as_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n holy_a and_o belove_a put_v on_o the_o bowel_n of_o mercy_n kindness_n humility_n meekness_n long_o suffer_v put_v away_o wrath_n anger_n malice_n curse_v

that_o love_v be_v bear_v of_o god_n will_v thou_o know_v that_o thou_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o life_n then_o love_v thy_o brethren_n we_o know_v say_v 3.14_o john_n that_o we_o be_v translate_v

we_o must_v be_v content_a with_o his_o husband_n we_o must_v strive_v to_o be_v fruitful_a in_o good_a thing_n they_o be_v to_o be_v dispraise_v that_o be_v barren_a first_o forsomuch_o as_o we_o

of_o the_o 24.31_o sluggard_n that_o be_v overgrow_v with_o thorn_n &_o nettle_n if_o a_o field_n be_v break_v up_o with_o the_o plough_n and_o if_o good_a seed_n be_v not_o sow_v therein_o it_o

never_o feel_v that_o plough_n let_v we_o therefore_o look_v to_o ourselves_o and_o labour_n to_o be_v fruitful_a in_o good_a thing_n 23.12_o apply_v thy_o heart_n to_o instruction_n and_o thy_o ear_n
