stubbornness_n in_o not_o receive_v a_o fatherly_a and_o charitable_a correction_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o more_o that_o as_o god_n be_v infinite_o wise_a and_o yet_o better_a towards_o we_o do_v

see_v that_o this_o discourse_n have_v make_v i_o to_o light_v on_o this_o example_n i_o will_v add_v another_o to_o it_o of_o a_o young_a french_a gentleman_n who_o in_o our_o day_n have_v cause_v these_o word_n to_o be_v engrave_v in_o a_o dagger_n i_o strike_v without_o respect_n it_o happen_v that_o dance_v a_o coranto_n his_o dagger_n slip_v out_o of_o the_o scabbard_n and_o wound_v he_o

we_o consider_v the_o affliction_n that_o happen_v to_o we_o either_o before_o we_o commit_v any_o fault_n or_o after_o our_o first_o and_o light_a fault_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n use_v we_o still_o very_o meek_o and_o kind_o they_o be_v common_o but_o gentle_a correction_n like_v unto_o those_o of_o the_o persian_n that_o whip_v the_o clothes_n in_o stead_n of_o those_o that_o have_v do_v the_o fault_n he_o meddle_v only_o with_o our_o good_n our_o honour_n and_o some_o such_o rag_n he_o take_v they_o away_o from_o we_o now_o and_o then_o for_o a_o time_n as_o they_o do_v knife_n and_o dagger_n from_o little_a child_n lest_o they_o shall_v hurt_v themselves_o with_o they_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o now_o for_o the_o other_o that_o be_v past_o all_o hope_n of_o
