all_o those_o thing_n whereby_o we_o may_v offend_v other_o man_n and_o to_o keep_v ourselves_o in_o such_o good_a temper_n as_o not_o to_o be_v too_o much_o offend_v at_o those_o thing_n whereby_o

who_o will_v live_v quiet_o with_o they_o and_o it_o be_v too_o much_o passion_n and_o impatience_n which_o make_v other_o unable_a to_o bear_v with_o such_o provocation_n both_o must_v be_v amend_v before_o we_o can_v come_v into_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n the_o first_o by_o humble_a thought_n of_o ourselves_o and_o by_o be_v kind_o affection_a one_o to_o another_o in_o brotherly_a love_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v the_o second_o by_o meek_a put_v up_o injury_n by_o forbearance_n and_o patient_a suffer_v the_o insolent_a folly_n of_o abusive_a person_n these_o two_o put_v we_o into_o

but_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o fall_v into_o party_n and_o break_v in_o piece_n then_o refer_v all_o unto_o peace_n as_o you_o do_v your_o difference_n to_o a_o arbitrator_n as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v
