which_o we_o ought_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o with_o a_o become_a reverence_n and_o take_v heed_n lest_o we_o speak_v unadvised_o with_o our_o lip_n the_o danger_n of_o which_o be_v so_o apparent_a

always_o endeavour_v to_o possess_v our_o heart_n with_o a_o unfeigned_a love_n and_o charity_n towards_o they_o all_o this_o be_v as_o i_o say_v the_o great_a virtue_n of_o christianity_n the_o
