they_o can_v discern_v of_o company_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o they_o discern_v not_o between_o company_n and_o company_n but_o because_o they_o be_v not_o spiritual_a will_v you_o therefore_o be_v able_a to_o make_v a_o right_a choice_n of_o your_o company_n then_o get_v this_o discern_a spirit_n 4_o and_o in_o the_o four_o place_n observe_v who_o those_o be_v that_o be_v most_o profitable_a in_o your_o society_n who_o those_o be_v that_o be_v most_o sound_a in_o their_o faith_n savoury_a in_o their_o spirit_n and_o most_o communicative_a and_o profitable_a in_o their_o life_n and_o with_o such_o close_a some_o have_v knowledge_n enough_o to_o discourse_v with_o but_o they_o have_v no_o savour_n in_o their_o spirit_n some_o be_v of_o a_o savoury_a spirit_n but_o they_o want_v knowledge_n and_o be_v not_o communicative_a but_o let_v those_o that_o fear_v thou_o turn_v unto_o i_o and_o those_o that_o have_v know_v thy_o testimony_n say_v david_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v lord_n i_o will_v not_o only_o have_v know_v man_n to_o be_v my_o companion_n but_o fear_v man_n neither_o will_v i_o only_o keep_v company_n with_o those_o that_o fear_v thou_o but_o with_o such_o as_o be_v know_v and_o do_v know_v thy_o testimony_n thus_o let_v his_o choice_n be_v you_o a_o know_a man_n and_o a_o fear_v man_n a_o fear_v man_n and_o a_o know_a man_n will_v make_v a_o meet_a companion_n for_o you_o 5_o and_o if_o you_o will_v make_v a_o good_a and_o comfortable_a choice_n of_o your_o company_n then_o in_o case_n you_o be_v a_o man_n let_v the_o friend_n of_o your_o bosom_n be_v a_o man_n and_o not_o a_o woman_n unless_o it_o be_v your_o wife_n and_o if_o you_o be_v a_o woman_n then_o let_v the_o friend_n of_o your_o bosom_n be_v a_o woman_n and_o not_o a_o man_n unless_o it_o be_v your_o husband_n for_o if_o the_o special_a friendship_n be_v between_o a_o man_n and_o a_o woman_n who_o know_v how_o soon_o the_o spiritual_a friendship_n may_v degenerate_v into_o carnal_a affection_n and_o if_o it_o may_v be_v let_v your_o friend_n or_o companion_n stand_v upon_o even_a ground_n and_o a_o level_n with_o you_o for_o the_o german_a proverb_n be_v often_o true_a he_o that_o will_v eat_v cherry_n with_o nobleman_n shall_v have_v his_o eye_n spurt_v out_o with_o the_o stone_n thereof_o therefore_o affect_v not_o company_n too_o high_a for_o you_o but_o whatever_o degree_n your_o company_n be_v of_o be_v sure_a that_o it_o be_v not_o such_o as_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o take_v a_o offence_n from_o you_o nor_o such_o as_o you_o shall_v be_v apt_a to_o take_v a_o offence_n from_o for_o than_o your_o society_n will_v always_o be_v uncomfortable_a thus_o do_v and_o your_o choice_n shall_v be_v right_a quest_n 3._o well_o but_o suppose_v i_o have_v choose_v good_a company_n and_o i_o can_v say_v in_o truth_n with_o david_n here_o i_o be_o a_o companion_n of_o all_o those_o that_o do_v fear_v thou_o and_o do_v keep_v thy_o precept_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v that_o i_o may_v improve_v my_o company_n i_o praise_v god_n i_o have_v good_a company_n but_o i_o do_v not_o know_v how_o to_o improve_v they_o what_o shall_v i_o therefore_o do_v that_o i_o may_v improve_v my_o good_a company_n answ_n first_o you_o must_v be_v humble_v for_o all_o the_o mispence_n of_o your_o time_n with_o good_a company_n the_o way_n to_o improve_v a_o mercy_n be_v to_o be_v humble_v for_o our_o not_o improvement_n of_o it_o second_o if_o you_o will_v improve_v your_o good_a company_n then_o lay_v your_o right_a end_n together_o when_o you_o meet_v you_o see_v how_o it_o be_v with_o a_o fire_n that_o be_v half_o burn_v if_o you_o will_v mend_v it_o you_o take_v the_o stick_v and_o lay_v they_o together_o but_o than_o you_o do_v not_o lay_v the_o cold_a end_n together_o but_o the_o hot_a end_n together_o now_o there_o be_v no_o company_n so_o good_a but_o have_v its_o cold_a end_n and_o its_o warm_a end_n if_o you_o lay_v your_o cold_a end_n together_o when_o you_o meet_v what_o heat_n what_o warmth_n what_o good_a or_o improvement_n can_v you_o expect_v therefore_o lay_v your_o warm_a end_n together_o when_o you_o meet_v together_o three_o observe_v what_o that_o grace_n be_v wherein_o your_o companion_n do_v excel_v and_o labour_v more_o and_o more_o for_o to_o draw_v that_o forth_o every_o saint_n and_o godly_a man_n do_v not_o excel_v in_o every_o grace_n non_fw-la omnis_fw-la fert_fw-la omne_fw-la tellus_fw-la every_o ground_n will_v not_o bear_v wheat_n or_o rye_n but_o some_o one_o grain_n and_o some_o another_o so_o every_o christian_a do_v not_o excel_v in_o every_o grace_n some_o in_o one_o grace_n and_o some_o in_o another_o it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v life_n and_o you_o have_v light_a or_o it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v light_a and_o you_o have_v life_n and_o why_o have_v god_n give_v this_o to_o one_o and_o that_o to_o another_o but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v behold_v one_o to_o another_o and_o have_v communion_n one_o with_o another_o will_v you_o therefore_o improve_v your_o communion_n and_o good_a company_n then_o observe_v what_o that_o grace_n be_v wherein_o he_o do_v most_o excellent_a and_o labour_v more_o and_o more_o to_o draw_v out_o the_o same_o four_o take_v heed_n also_o of_o pride_n and_o envy_n which_o be_v the_o bane_n of_o all_o good_a company_n pride_n will_v make_v a_o man_n speak_v and_o pride_n will_v make_v a_o man_n hold_v his_o peace_n i_o be_o a_o poor_a ignorant_a man_n or_o woman_n say_v one_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o speak_v of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a before_o their_o company_n yet_o this_o may_v be_v out_o of_o pride_n i_o have_v a_o opportunity_n of_o do_v good_a in_o this_o company_n say_v another_z and_o therefore_o i_o will_v speak_v yet_o this_o may_v be_v out_o of_o pride_n too_o there_o be_v such_o a_o one_o speak_v good_a word_n at_o such_o a_o time_n say_v another_o but_o it_o be_v little_a to_o the_o purpose_n and_o this_o may_v be_v out_o of_o envy_n now_o envy_n be_v between_o equal_n and_o pride_n between_o unequal_o either_o therefore_o you_o converse_v with_o your_o equal_n or_o with_o your_o unequal_o if_o with_o your_o equal_n take_v heed_n of_o envy_n if_o with_o your_o unequal_o take_v heed_n of_o pride_n five_o and_o in_o the_o five_o place_n if_o you_o will_v improve_v your_o good_a company_n and_o profit_n by_o they_o then_o pray_v over_o they_o and_o for_o they_o of_o all_o company_n say_v mr._n greenham_n i_o never_o profit_v and_o gain_v more_o by_o any_o then_o by_o those_o that_o i_o pray_v most_o for_o and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o you_o profit_v no_o more_o by_o your_o good_a company_n but_o because_o you_o pray_v no_o more_o for_o they_o and_o over_o they_o you_o will_v pray_v over_o your_o hear_n read_v or_o meditation_n why_o because_o it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n so_o be_v this_o of_o good_a company_n too_o and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v improve_v and_o profit_v by_o your_o company_n then_o pray_v much_o over_o they_o and_o for_o they_o yet_o sixthly_a do_v not_o rest_v secure_a in_o your_o good_a company_n for_o though_o you_o be_v in_o a_o good_a company_n you_o may_v possible_o get_v more_o hurt_v then_o if_o you_o have_v be_v in_o bad_a company_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o you_o come_v sometime_o from_o bad_a company_n into_o which_o you_o have_v be_v cast_v occasional_o or_o against_o your_o will_n with_o your_o soul_n trouble_v for_o their_o sin_n and_o through_o god_n providence_n do_v get_v good_a thereby_o and_o you_o come_v from_o good_a company_n with_o your_o heart_n flat_a and_o dead_a and_o dull_a but_o because_o you_o rest_v secure_a in_o your_o good_a company_n in_o the_o one_o you_o watch_v in_o the_o other_o not_o wherefore_o rest_v not_o secure_a in_o your_o company_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o good_a good_a company_n be_v god_n ordinance_n but_o it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n that_o do_v tend_v unto_o other_o ordinance_n some_o ordinance_n tend_v unto_o other_o ordinance_n it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n that_o we_o shall_v rest_v on_o the_o sabbath-day_n but_o why_o be_v we_o to_o rest_v then_o for_o rest_n sake_n no_o but_o we_o be_v to_o rest_v in_o order_n to_o the_o positive_a sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n so_o we_o be_v to_o keep_v good_a company_n but_o why_o what_o for_o itself_o no_o but_o in_o order_n to_o other_o duty_n now_o if_o it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n that_o lie_v in_o order_n to_o other_o ordinance_n why_o shall_v we_o rest_v in_o it_o the_o more_o you_o rest_n in_o it_o the_o less_o you_o will_v improve_v it_o therefore_o do_v not_o rest_v secure_a in_o your_o company_n although_o it_o be_v never_o so_o good_a but_o be_v
