duty_n to_o be_v press_v after_o it_o i_o shall_v but_o mind_v you_o of_o three_o thing_n which_o if_o they_o will_v not_o prevail_v with_o you_o i_o know_v not_o what_o to_o add_v 1._o the_o

reputation_n of_o religion_n and_o godliness_n 2._o second_o the_o concern_v of_o your_o brother_n good_a be_v not_o little_a by_o this_o thou_o shall_v show_v that_o brotherly_a love_n which_o be_v so_o commend_v in_o the_o gospel_n how_o can_v thou_o say_v thou_o love_v thy_o brother_n while_o thou_o watch_v for_o his_o halt_n and_o be_v glad_a and_o rejoic_a when_o thou_o see●●_n he_o fall_v that_o scorn_v and_o despise_v he_o because_o he_o be_v low_a and_o mean_v and_o afflict_a or_o because_o thou_o observe_v his_o foot_n to_o have_v slip_v where_o be_v thy_o pity_n where_o be_v thy_o compassion_n in_o the_o case_n 3._o final_o thy_o own_o concern_n be_v not_o small_a in_o the_o case_n upon_o this_o argument_n the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n persuade_v a_o remember_v of_o
