to_o pray_v it_o be_v his_o custom_n in_o his_o prayer_n to_o say_v thus_o o_o god_n grant_v i_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a when_o i_o ask_v they_o not_o and_o deny_v i_o when_o i_o ask_v

proper_a for_o this_o exercise_n yet_o if_o we_o consider_v prayer_n to_o be_v as_o we_o must_v not_o doubt_v a_o dart_v forth_o of_o our_o soul_n towards_o god_n to_o unite_v it_o with_o his_o holy_a

if_o you_o desire_v to_o be_v wise_a for_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o wisdom_n this_o fear_n as_o solomon_n say_v be_v to_o hate_v and_o avoid_v all_o evil_a and_o

have_v to_o rely_v upon_o the_o hope_n or_o expectation_n of_o what_o they_o promise_v beside_o if_o you_o shall_v be_v so_o fortunate_a as_o to_o be_v favour_v by_o some_o great_a person_n which_o will_v scarce_o happen_v unless_o his_o own_o interest_n force_v he_o to_o it_o in_o a_o small_a time_n you_o will_v begin_v to_o perceive_v that_o his_o friendship_n have_v not_o only_o the_o false_a

i_o make_v no_o address_n to_o great_a person_n or_o so_o much_o as_o come_v at_o they_o unless_o you_o be_v oblige_v to_o it_o by_o a_o duty_n not_o to_o be_v dispense_v with_o behave_v yourself_o

of_o any_o one_o especial_o in_o his_o absence_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o unworthy_a of_o a_o man_n of_o honour_n and_o you_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o live_v in_o peace_n with_o other_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a end_n of_o society_n that_o of_o necessity_n you_o will_v be_v at_o odds_o with_o all_o if_o you_o have_v private_o perceive_v the_o vicious_a inclination_n of_o any_o

most_o considerable_a service_n that_o we_o can_v render_v to_o a_o neighbour_n be_v to_o make_v he_o perceive_v the_o error_n of_o his_o conduct_n and_o to_o do_v this_o successful_o so_o that_o he_o may_v see_v it_o be_v the_o advice_n of_o a_o friend_n let_v prudence_n guide_v you_o lest_o he_o disdain_v your_o counsel_n instead_o of_o profit_v thereby_o you_o will_v become_v ridiculous_a if_o
