indivisibli_fw-la as_o the_o school_n be_v use_v to_o speak_v but_o there_o be_v a_o manifest_a latitude_n to_o be_v allow_v for_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v not_o intemperate_a in_o one_o man_n that_o

idle_a time_n or_o the_o cause_n of_o sickness_n and_o disease_n to_o himself_o and_o of_o misfortune_n to_o his_o family_n and_o relation_n again_o that_o may_v be_v a_o lawful_a recreation_n by_o

with_o the_o care_n of_o human_a life_n which_o be_v constant_o use_v will_v be_v a_o sin_n because_o it_o will_v tend_v to_o the_o ruin_n of_o ourselves_o and_o family_n and_o will_v render_v we_o either_o contemptible_a or_o at_o least_o useless_a and_o unserviceable_a to_o the_o world_n and_o so_o also_o as_o to_o justice_n it_o be_v in_o the_o general_n necessary_a that_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v his_o own_o and_z that_o no_o man_n shall_v wrong_v or_o abuse_v another_o but_o yet_o as_o to_o the_o particular_a instance_n of_o this_o justice_n they_o be_v variable_a by_o

man_n a_o legal_a title_n though_o his_o ancestor_n come_v wrongful_o by_o that_o which_o he_o enjoy_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o if_o all_o claim_n be_v examine_v to_o the_o bottom_n this_o may_v unsettle_v a_o nation_n and_o make_v a_o public_a disturbance_n if_o all_o the_o fraud_n and_o abuse_n which_o our_o ancestor_n have_v commit_v or_o all_o the_o questionable_a privilege_n or_o

better_a in_o this_o case_n that_o a_o private_a loss_n be_v sustain_v than_o that_o the_o public_a shall_v be_v disquiet_v by_o old_a and_o wear_v out_o title_n and_o by_o claim_n which_o when_o they_o be_v sift_v to_o the_o bottom_n will_v be_v find_v for_o the_o most_o part_n vexatious_a and_o dishonest_a from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o interest_n either_o private_a or_o

to_o better_a and_o noble_a purpose_n for_o our_o own_o good_a and_o for_o the_o good_a of_o other_o yet_o if_o this_o can_v pass_v off_o without_o notice_n or_o observation_n if_o we_o can_v commit_v

i_o if_o this_o be_v my_o practice_n of_o piety_n and_o my_o whole_a duty_n of_o man_n if_o this_o and_o no_o more_o than_o this_o be_v all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o duty_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o

from_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n and_o from_o the_o public_a notice_n of_o the_o world_n be_v yet_o notwithstanding_o every_o whit_n as_o foolish_a and_o unreasonable_a in_o themselves_o and_o as_o much_o nay_o perhaps_o more_o against_o our_o interest_n than_o those_o which_o be_v more_o open_a and_o better_o know_v to_o the_o world_n for_o the_o disgrace_n and_o prejudice_n which_o we_o suffer_v in_o our_o astair_n the_o contempt_n which_o be_v bring_v upon_o our_o person_n and_o the_o damage_n accrue_v to_o our_o fortune_n by_o a_o discovery_n be_v though_o not_o a_o punishment_n sufficient_a yet_o such_o as_o perhaps_o god_n upon_o our_o repentance_n will_v accept_v as_o a_o satisfaction_n and_o atonement_n for_o the_o crime_n commit_v and_o be_v beside_o not_o unfrequent_o a_o mean_n of_o our_o amendment_n and_o reformation_n of_o life_n which_o be_v the_o only_a true_a way_n of_o reconcile_a we_o to_o god_n to_o man_n and_o to_o ourselves_o but_o where_o the_o justice_n of_o man_n can_v reach_v we_o where_o no_o visible_a punishment_n pursue_v the_o guilty_a there_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o the_o divine_a judgement_n and_o vengeance_n will_v take_v place_n it_o be_v very_o unreasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o that_o all-seeing_a eye_n back_v and_o assist_v by_o a_o almighty_a arm_n will_v behold_v so_o much_o wickedness_n and_o presumption_n together_o when_o we_o please_v ourselves_o with_o a_o opinion_n that_o we_o be_v safe_a because_o we_o can_v hide_v our_o crime_n from_o the_o notice_n and_o observation_n of_o man_n
