you_o your_o pearl_n before_o swine_n lest_o they_o trample_v they_o under_o their_o foot_n and_o turn_v again_o and_o rend_v you_o some_o man_n be_v of_o so_o boisterous_a and_o insolent_a a_o

in_o they_o another_o measure_n of_o discretion_n to_o be_v use_v in_o reprove_v be_v to_o choose_v the_o time_n of_o do_v it_o as_o nice_o as_o we_o can_v but_o even_o in_o this_o caution_n must_v be_v use_v common_o speak_v affliction_n bring_v man_n into_o a_o temper_n fit_a for_o be_v the_o better_a for_o admonition_n but_o some_o may_v sink_v so_o much_o under_o their_o burden_n that_o it_o may_v be_v too_o severe_a to_o lay_v more_o load_n upon_o they_o in_o sickness_n as_o the_o danger_n may_v be_v great_a so_o the_o obligation_n be_v more_o indispensable_a but_o in_o all_o those_o case_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o use_v a_o due_a mixture_n of_o skill_n as_o well_o as_o fidelity_n that_o we_o may_v not_o add_v affliction_n to_o the_o afflict_a more_o than_o be_v

the_o correct_v of_o which_o be_v chief_o design_v by_o these_o society_n when_o we_o reprove_v any_o for_o enter_v into_o that_o lewd_a commerce_n of_o forbid_a pleasure_n at_o which_o the_o

the_o expense_n of_o a_o vicious_a course_n of_o life_n they_o will_v become_v slothful_a in_o all_o their_o affair_n and_o thus_o their_o care_n and_o industry_n be_v once_o slacken_v they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o hope_v that_o they_o can_v succeed_v in_o their_o business_n as_o they_o can_v have_v none_o to_o expect_v a_o blessing_n from_o god_n upon_o their_o endeavour_n nor_o can_v they_o

take_v too_o much_o pleasure_n in_o lewd_a company_n yet_o few_o care_n to_o deal_v with_o such_o person_n or_o put_v any_o confidence_n in_o they_o and_o this_o be_v all_o evident_a beside_o the_o
