there_o be_v no_o interfering_n betwixt_o this_o and_o other_o duty_n which_o i_o have_v a_o especial_a regard_n to_o lest_o whilst_o i_o be_o exhort_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o command_n i_o shall_v occasion_v the_o neglect_n of_o another_o and_o perhaps_o a_o great_a i_o shall_v only_o mention_v the_o mistake_v which_o some_o may_v have_v of_o which_o they_o may_v rid_v themselves_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v 1._o one_o mistake_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v so_o do_v their_o own_o business_n as_o to_o allow_v none_o else_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n for_o they_o to_o use_v the_o service_n of_o none_o to_o endeavour_v to_o have_v need_n of_o no_o man_n to_o live_v without_o the_o help_n of_o any_o but_o this_o can_v be_v the_o apostle_n meaning_n because_o the_o scripture_n in_o many_o place_n and_o the_o apostle_n in_o divers_a of_o his_o epistle_n suppose_n and_o allow_v and_o give_v direction_n both_o to_o master_n and_o servant_n it_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o cynical_a morosness_n in_o diegenes_n not_o to_o have_v a_o servant_n and_o no_o way_n agreeable_a with_o the_o state_n in_o which_o we_o be_v nor_o with_o those_o custom_n of_o the_o world_n which_o experience_n have_v confirm_v to_o be_v good_a and_o all_o law_n have_v approve_v i_o know_v there_o be_v a_o great_a vanity_n in_o many_o who_o devolve_v all_o their_o weighty_a business_n wherein_o their_o own_o care_n be_v most_o necessary_a upon_o their_o servant_n but_o i_o meddle_v not_o with_o that_o now_o 2._o another_o mistake_n may_v be_v that_o we_o be_v so_o intent_n on_o our_o own_o matter_n as_o not_o to_o regard_v other_o man_n this_o be_v st._n paul_n complaint_n that_o all_o mind_v their_o own_o thing_n phil._n 2._o 21._o and_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n that_o we_o bear_v one_o another_o burden_n gal._n 6._o 2._o the_o apostle_n intent_n be_v to_o take_v man_n off_o from_o vain_a curiosity_n about_o from_o unnecessary_a meddle_v in_o other_o man_n matter_n but_o when_o humanity_n and_o kindness_n compassion_n and_o civility_n when_o justice_n itself_o call_v we_o out_o of_o our_o house_n and_o take_v we_o from_o our_o employment_n to_o help_v our_o brethren_n

in_o the_o natural_a world_n the_o next_o body_n will_v as_o some_o philosopher_n speak_v against_o their_o nature_n remove_v out_o of_o their_o place_n to_o prevent_v it_o the_o same_o must_v be_v do_v by_o we_o in_o the_o moral_a world_n but_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o against_o nature_n that_o we_o shall_v do_v thus_o for_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v make_v to_o promote_v the_o common_a good_a not_o our_o own_o only_a but_o other_o man_n and_o in_o the_o explication_n i_o have_v show_v that_o that_o be_v every_o man_n be_v own_o business_n which_o belong_v to_o that_o place_n or_o station_n in_o which_o he_o be_v in_o relation_n to_o other_o men._n his_o proper_a business_n have_v in_o the_o very_a notion_n of_o it_o a_o reference_n to_o other_o 3._o after_o what_o have_v be_v say_v none_o sure_o will_v think_v themselves_o excuse_v from_o the_o common_a work_n of_o all_o man_n because_o they_o must_v do_v their_o own_o proper_a business_n that_o because_o i_o be_o to_o do_v
