among_o our_o member_n that_o it_o defile_v the_o whole_a body_n and_o set_v on_o fire_n the_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o it_o be_v set_v on_o fire_n of_o hell_n argum._n 4._o confirm_v the_o former_a even_o as_o if_o thou_o guide_v the_o bridle_n thou_o also_o rule_a the_o horse_n and_o if_o thou_o rule_a the_o stern_a of_o the_o ship_n thou_o do_v also_o the_o ship_n even_o so_o if_o thou_o have_v right_o govern_v thy_o tongue_n thou_o will_v also_o rule_v thy_o whole_a body_n and_o thy_o outward_a action_n although_o those_o instrument_n be_v small_a and_o the_o tongue_n be_v a_o

teach_v we_o that_o some_o of_o all_o kind_n be_v tame_v ver_fw-la 7._o but_o the_o tongue_n no_o humane_a reason_n or_o art_n can_v tame_v because_o it_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n a_o unquiet_a and_o a_o unruly_a evil_n full_a of_o deadly_a poison_n whereby_o it_o bring_v and_o be_v ready_a to_o bring_v deadly_a mischief_n unto_o other_o therefore_o you_o must_v diligent_o endeavour_v to_o
