to_o himself_o so_o it_o deed_n a_o honest_a man_n be_v a_o friend_n and_o neghbour_n to_o all_o misfortune_n misery_n and_o necessity_n in_o help_v they_o with_o kind_n love_v and_o industrious_a

a_o trust_n be_v the_o chief_a part_n of_o honesty_n though_o it_o be_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o himself_o wherefore_o a_o honest_a man_n shall_v not_o take_v such_o a_o trust_n as_o may_v endanger_v he_o to_o ruin_v of_o honesty_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n or_o kind_n of_o honesty_n the_o one_o a_o bastard_n and_o the_o other_o a_o trueborn_a the_o bastard_n be_v to_o be_v honest_a

honesty_n love_v honesty_n for_o honesty_n sake_n and_o be_v a_o circle_n that_o have_v no_o end_n and_o justice_n be_v the_o centre_n and_o honesty_n be_v the_o sweet_a essence_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o god_n of_o humanity_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v ungrateful_a to_o the_o dishonest_a if_o one_o receive_v life_n from_o two_o man_n the_o one_o a_o approve_a honest_a man_n the_o other_o from_o a_o know_a false_a cruel_a and_o deceitful_a man_n which_o in_o our_o language_n be_v call_v a_o knave_n yet_o the_o benefit_n be_v as_o great_a from_o the_o knave_n as_o from_o the_o honest_a

to_o take_v a_o evil_a base_a or_o a_o unworthy_a trust_n as_o to_o betray_v a_o just_a one_o of_o flattery_n flattery_n take_v most_o when_o they_o come_v into_o the_o ear_n like_o soft_a and_o
