hereto_o then_o take_v the_o follow_a direction_n first_o foundation_n in_o general_n lay_v a_o good_a foundation_n look_v well_o to_o the_o beginning_n of_o thy_o friendship_n be_v sure_a thou_o

gild_v over_o with_o never_o so_o many_o splendid_a title_n artificial_a form_n and_o habit_n of_o legal_a mortification_n pretend_a evangelick_n sanctity_n purity_n and_o piety_n seem_o angelic_a yet_o if_o thy_o heart_n be_v not_o sound_a and_o sincere_a all_o thy_o glorious_a title_n and_o form_n of_o godliness_n and_o friendship_n with_o christ_n be_v but_o begin_v in_o hypocrisy_n and_o
