that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o easy_a swallow_v by_o their_o patient_n but_o whether_o he_o be_v or_o not_o it_o be_v much_o the_o same_o for_o if_o he_o be_v not_o than_o he_o be_v a_o great_a

be_v bold_a to_o say_v whatever_o he_o appear_v outward_o he_o be_v such_o a_o rot_a mortify_v one_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v lope_v off_o to_o preserve_v the_o rest_n from_o gangreen_n for_o if_o we_o call_v that_o a_o ill_a bird_n that_o defile_v its_o own_o nest_n what_o must_v that_o bird_n be_v call_v which_o not_o only_o defile_v but_o join_v with_o those_o of_o prey_n to_o destroy_v

for_o such_o a_o unnatural_a bird_n it_o ought_v to_o begin_v with_o a_o w_n for_o none_o but_o the_o son_n of_o a_o wicked_a father_n will_v reproach_n and_o defame_v a_o virtuous_a and_o chaste_a

to_o that_o as_o the_o text_n say_v he_o that_o run_v may_v read_v for_o by_o a_o penny_n we_o may_v know_v how_o a_o shilling_n be_v make_v and_o a_o skilful_a refiner_n by_o a_o small_a quantity_n of_o gold_n or_o silver_n will_v tell_v the_o goodness_n of_o the_o whole_a lump_n and_o any_o body_n that_o observe_v the_o argument_n of_o our_o author_n must_v have_v but_o very_o little_a

though_o interest_n which_o never_o lie_v have_v make_v he_o fall_v a_o little_a away_o from_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v deliver_v in_o these_o time_n by_o the_o then_o saint_n yet_o to_o that_o

the_o good_a but_o for_o the_o good_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o to_o reduce_v both_o church_n and_o state_n to_o the_o same_o modal_n again_o and_o true_o i_o think_v nothing_o can_v be_v more_o
