they_o never_o cure_v he_o the_o follow_a rule_n if_o they_o be_v make_v familiar_a to_o our_o nature_n and_o the_o thought_n of_o every_o day_n may_v make_v virtue_n and_o religion_n become_v easy_a

we_o must_v be_v curious_a to_o distinguish_v instrument_n from_o duty_n and_o prudent_a advice_n from_o necessary_a injunction_n and_o if_o by_o any_o other_o mean_v the_o duty_n can_v be_v secure_v
