speech_n of_o other_o when_o they_o speak_v to_o you_o and_o second_o how_o to_o order_v your_o own_o as_o to_o the_o former_a of_o these_o observe_v well_o what_o be_v the_o temper_n and_o disposition_n of_o those_o person_n who_o speech_n you_o hear_v whether_o they_o be_v wise_a grave_a sober_a and_o discreet_a person_n for_o if_o they_o be_v such_o their_o speech_n will_v be_v

speech_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n according_a to_o their_o temper_n and_o therefore_o the_o great_a advantage_n you_o can_v reap_v thereby_o be_v to_o learn_v their_o disposition_n and_o discern_v their_o fail_n whereby_o you_o will_v make_v yourself_o the_o more_o cautious_a both_o in_o your_o conversation_n with_o they_o and_o your_o own_o speech_n and_o deportment_n towards_o they_o second_o if_o person_n who_o you_o do_v not_o very_o well_o know_v to_o be_v man_n of_o truth_n and_o sobriety_n relate_v strange_a story_n be_v not_o over_o ready_a to_o be_v believe_v or_o
