will_v have_v we_o regard_v our_o brethren_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v any_o occasion_n whereby_o hurt_n or_o damage_n may_v grow_v unto_o they_o for_o thus_o do_v david_n 1_o chron._n 11._o 19_o

say_v withal_o thou_o shall_v in_o any_o wise_a rebuke_n thy_o neighbour_n and_o not_o suffer_v sin_n upon_o he_o and_o true_o this_o not_o rebuke_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o deadly_a hatred_n because_o we_o know_v the_o lord_n will_v punish_v his_o sin_n and_o bring_v it_o to_o light_v and_o therefore_o if_o we_o dissemble_v and_o admonish_v he_o not_o to_o leave_v it_o what_o do_v we_o else_o but_o desire_v the_o lord_n to_o blaze_v he_o and_o to_o shame_v he_o for_o it_o object_n but_o yet_o here_o one_o may_v object_v and_o say_v o_o but_o man_n will_v be_v angry_a with_o we_o if_o we_o tell_v they_o their_o fault_n ans_fw-fr god_n will_v be_v angry_a if_o we_o tell_v they_o not_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v it_o be_v better_a to_o lose_v man_n favour_n than_o god_n favour_n and_o to_o

in_o some_o one_o gift_n they_o come_v behind_o we_o yet_o happy_o in_o some_o other_o they_o come_v before_o we_o and_o though_o they_o do_v not_o yet_o happy_o they_o have_v not_o have_v such_o
