shall_v not_o be_v any_o disparagement_n to_o his_o other_o rare_a virtue_n but_o rather_o a_o commendation_n for_o we_o read_v that_o god_n himself_o who_o example_n he_o follow_v in_o justice_n will_v look_v for_o a_o severe_a account_n of_o all_o his_o servant_n though_o he_o be_v repute_v by_o the_o unthankful_a wretch_n a_o severe_a and_o hard_a man_n for_o the_o same_o reap_v where_o he_o sow_v not_o and_o gather_v where_o he_o strew_v not_o and_o it_o be_v but_o reason_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o own_o grace_n for_o he_o give_v the_o talent_n of_o spiritual_a grace_n and_o temporal_a blessing_n unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n to_o use_v and_o profit_n thereby_o and_o not_o to_o be_v bind_v up_o in_o a_o napkin_n or_o throw_v under_o a_o
