one_o to_o another_o for_o it_o be_v very_o convenient_a that_o we_o which_o have_v be_v stubborn_a and_o rebellious_a by_o sin_v against_o god_n shall_v be_v humble_a also_o towards_o man_n who_o we_o have_v offend_v either_o by_o the_o evil_a example_n of_o our_o wicked_a life_n or_o else_o by_o our_o wrongful_a deal_n and_o false_a deed_n for_o it_o be_v most_o healthful_a to_o the_o soul_n that_o a_o man_n repent_v in_o heart_n and_o acknowledge_v his_o fault_n with_o his_o mouth_n so_o that_o god_n which_o be_v present_a in_o mercy_n and_o grace_n may_v prick_v his_o heart_n by_o compunction_n and_o bitter_a repentance_n
