not_o that_o be_v nourish_v neither_o in_o child_n nor_o servant_n but_o stand_v you_o in_o power_n of_o god_n that_o his_o live_a witness_n may_v answer_v all_o your_o word_n and_o action_n and_o justify_v you_o in_o they_o all_o then_o will_v you_o be_v at_o error_n to_o that_o in_o your_o family_n which_o will_v work_v wickedness_n and_o a_o praise_n to_o that_o which_o breathe_v after_o the_o lord_n and_o you_o that_o have_v unbelieving_a wife_n or_o unbelieving_a husband_n unbelieving_a child_n and_o such_o servant_n in_o your_o family_n as_o be_v out_o of_o the_o truth_n walk_v wise_o towards_o they_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o strive_v not_o with_o they_o in_o your_o will_n in_o that_o nature_n which_o they_o be_v in_o lest_o you_o hurt_v yourselves_o thereby_o and_o harden_v they_o and_o know_v this_o that_o such_o will_v soon_o be_v win_v to_o the_o truth_n by_o your_o love_a and_o courteous_a behaviour_n towards_o they_o than_o they_o will_v by_o your_o strive_n with_o they_o in_o the_o heat_n of_o your_o spirit_n and_o when_o you_o feel_v indignation_n arise_v in_o your_o heart_n against_o their_o uncleanness_n rudeness_n and_o wantonness_n and_o so_o upon_o the_o

which_o be_v hasty_a and_o forward_o in_o yourselves_o mix_v itself_o with_o the_o godly_a zeal_n in_o you_o and_o that_o may_v kindle_v a_o strange_a fire_n in_o they_o which_o will_v not_o consume_v that_o which_o the_o lord_n indignation_n burn_v against_o but_o will_v rather_o set_v their_o whole_a course_n of_o nature_n on_o fire_n and_o then_o you_o may_v show_v more_o wisdom_n in_o your_o

for_o this_o i_o have_v observe_v to_o wit_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n have_v much_o more_o place_n in_o a_o man_n if_o it_o be_v speak_v to_o he_o when_o he_o be_v calm_a temperate_a and_o

we_o ourselves_o heretofore_o have_v be_v when_o we_o be_v where_o they_o be_v therefore_o let_v we_o the_o rather_o bear_v with_o they_o consider_v how_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n have_v bear_v

peace_n may_v abound_v among_o you_o all_o and_o see_v that_o you_o flee_v and_o avoid_v all_o youthful_a lust_n and_o that_o you_o put_v away_o childishness_n and_o become_v grave_a sober_a and_o
