moral_a virtue_n consider_v the_o ground_n upon_o which_o they_o be_v do_v be_v sin_n before_o god_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o be_v virtuous_a as_o philosopher_n be_v virtuous_a but_o

all_o possible_a absolute_a perfection_n either_o in_o degree_n or_o in_o kind_n so_o we_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o have_v those_o perfection_n that_o a_o creature_n of_o that_o kind_n be_v capable_a of_o four_o as_o the_o perfection_n of_o god_n be_v both_o inseparable_a from_o god_n and_o from_o themselves_o so_o shall_v we_o be_v also_o our_o wisdom_n must_v be_v holy_a our_o holiness_n
