false_a glass_n self-love_n or_o self-conceit_n then_o a_o good_a opinion_n of_o man_n and_o confer_v a_o man_n self_n with_o some_o other_o he_o be_v better_a than_o they_o therefore_o his_o estate_n be_v good_a a_o absurd_a conclusion_n the_o devil_n will_v mighty_o insult_v over_o such_o as_o he_o can_v so_o easy_o deceive_v but_o this_o man_n go_v far_a i_o not_o only_o compare_v myself_o with_o other_o but_o myself_o too_o and_o find_v good_a ground_n to_o conclude_v the_o safeness_n of_o my_o condition_n i_o remember_v a_o time_n when_o i_o be_v vain_a and_o idle_a when_o i_o run_v in_o a_o way_n contrary_a to_o god_n but_o now_o i_o have_v sow_v my_o wild_a oat_n and_o whereas_o before_o i_o be_v loose_a and_o dissolute_a i_o have_v care_n to_o do_v my_o duty_n to_o serve_v

flow_v paymaster_n heretofore_o then_o i_o be_o now_o well_o because_o there_o be_v worse_a paymaster_n and_o he_o himself_o have_v be_v a_o worse_a do_v this_o make_v he_o a_o better_a now_o and_o shall_v this_o serve_v to_o excuse_v thou_o by_o compare_v thyself_o with_o other_o that_o be_v worse_o and_o with_o thyself_o that_o because_o thou_o have_v mend_v thyself_o in_o some_o particular_n
