have_v one_o grace_n say_v the_o apostle_n let_v 5._o he_o add_v one_o to_o another_o therefore_o give_v all_o diligence_n thereto_o join_v virtue_n with_o faith_n and_o with_o faith_n knowledge_n and_o with_o knowledge_n temperance_n with_o temperance_n patience_n with_o patience_n godliness_n with_o godliness_n brotherly_a kindness_n with_o brotherly_a kindness_n love_n that_o be_v suppose_v say_v the_o apostle_n thou_o have_v faith_n perhaps_o there_o i●_n need_v of_o more_o than_o that_o there_o come_v season_n when_o thou_o be_v to_o do_v good_a work_n to_o add_v work_n to_o thy_o

faith_n into_o use_n but_o when_o you_o be_v set_v on_o work_n perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v a_o difficult_a case_n to_o know_v what_o a_o man_n in_o discretion_n shall_v do_v in_o this_o ambiguous_a case_n therefore_o add_v knowledge_n and_o prudence_n to_o guide_v and_o direct_v you_o in_o that_o you_o do_v but_o when_o you_o have_v get_v prudence_n and_o know_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o add_v to_o knowledge_n temperance_n it_o may_v be_v a_o man_n may_v know_v well_o enough_o what_o to_o do_v but_o he_o be_v draw_v aside_o with_o some_o pleasure_n and_o lust_n for_o it_o be_v usual_a for_o a_o man_n to_o know_v but_o because_o he_o be_v bias_v the_o wrong_a way_n with_o some_o inordinate_a affection_n he_o perform_v not_o that_o 〈◊〉_d know_v therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n now_o be_v the_o season_n to_o add_v temperance_n to_o knowledge_n to_o abstain_v from_o those_o thing_n and_o beside_o as_o pleasure_n be_v a_o mean_n on_o the_o one_o side_n to_o keep_v he_o from_o the_o

man_n shall_v find_v many_o cross_n and_o opposition_n somewhat_o he_o must_v part_v with_o therefore_o add_v not_o temperance_n only_o but_o patience_n that_o be_v a_o time_n for_o patience_n or_o else_o he_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n to_o purpose_n when_o both_o these_o be_v do_v join_v with_o patience_n godliness_n a_o man_n may_v do_v much_o and_o join_v temperance_n and_o patience_n but_o these_o be_v moral_a virtue_n a_o man_n may_v do_v they_o for_o other_o end_n he_o may_v be_v a_o good_a servant_n but_o he_o may_v serve_v a_o wrong_a master_n therefore_o say_v he_o eye_n god_n in_o all_o you_o do_v join_v to_o these_o godliness_n do_v it_o out_o of_o sincerity_n advance_v he_o and_o his_o glory_n and_o do_v it_o not_o for_o your_o own_o end_n and_o with_o godliness_n brotherly_a

yet_o your_o business_n be_v with_o man_n for_o the_o most_o part_n therefore_o you_o must_v join_v with_o godliness_n brotherly_a kindness_n that_o you_o do_v it_o out_o of_o love_n to_o man_n as_o well_o as_o out_o of_o sincere_a respect_n to_o god_n ay_o but_o there_o be_v other_o man_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o godly_a man_n and_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o they_o and_o there_o be_v
