nature_n they_o remain_v long_o uncorrupted_a and_o perhaps_o there_o be_v some_o stone_n that_o never_o know_v what_o corruption_n mean_v but_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o tender_a be_v most_o subject_a to_o corruption_n because_o the_o air_n which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o life_n and_o death_n the_o mother_n of_o generation_n and_o corruption_n where_o it_o be_v able_a to_o disperse_v the_o dimension_n of_o it_o it_o work_v corruption_n as_o it_o give_v beginning_n so_o it_o work_v a_o end_n it_o be_v the_o plague_n of_o god_n upon_o every_o son_n of_o adam_n that_o the_o same_o air_n that_o give_v he_o life_n it_o work_v also_o his_o dissolution_n in_o corruption_n we_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o fine_a the_o thing_n be_v the_o worse_a it_o be_v corrupt_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o fine_o modulate_v when_o they_o come_v to_o be_v corrupt_v they_o have_v the_o vile_a stench_n and_o corruption_n of_o all_o other_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v make_v so_o exact_o as_o the_o body_n of_o a_o man_n yet_o be_v dead_a there_o be_v no_o stench_n like_a unto_o it_o always_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o best_a thing_n be_v the_o worst_a thus_o it_o be_v also_o in_o this_o spiritual_a corruption_n the_o manner_n which_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o good_a education_n have_v plant_v in_o man_n the_o wild_a natural_a disposition_n be_v root_v out_o and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v plant_v in_o and_o graft_v there_o it_o keep_v its_o seat_n and_o residence_n and_o as_o long_o as_o it_o be_v free_a from_o external_a and_o outward_a danger_n it_o be_v well_o enough_o but_o when_o there_o come_v a_o outward_a heat_n and_o the_o air_n to_o work_v upon_o it_o that_o be_v temptation_n from_o abroad_o temptation_n from_o the_o devil_n bad_a example_n in_o the_o world_n this_o outward_a heat_n it_o work_v upon_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o inward_a stock_n and_o before_o a_o man_n can_v think_v of_o it_o enter_v and_o pierce_v 7._o jonah_n 4_o 7._o and_o corruption_n make_v way_n as_o the_o cankerworm_n in_o jonas_n gourd_n that_o though_o it_o be_v green_a and_o fresh_a in_o the_o morning_n yet_o it_o be_v down_o and_o wither_v before_o night_n again_o as_o the_o tender_a thing_n soon_a corrupt_v so_o man_n of_o the_o best_a wit_n of_o the_o best_a judgement_n man_n that_o have_v the_o great_a memory_n man_n of_o the_o most_o dexterious_a spirit_n their_o mind_n by_o god_n just_a judgement_n be_v most_o subject_a to_o sin_n and_o gross_a corruption_n every_o man_n do_v not_o serve_v the_o devil_n with_o like_a affection_n and_o with_o like_a spirit_n some_o know_v how_o to_o serve_v he_o after_o one_o manner_n and_o some_o after_o another_o weak_a thing_n be_v subject_a to_o less_o corruption_n but_o the_o fine_a and_o the_o tender_a thing_n be_v soon_o corrupt_v as_o the_o fair_a and_o goodly_a flower_n be_v soon_o blast_v and_o wither_v to_o conclude_v this_o point_n when_o these_o thing_n in_o man_n be_v corrupt_v it_o be_v the_o worst_a corruption_n that_o can_v be_v when_o the_o understanding_n be_v corrupt_v as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o the_o clean_a 1.15_o tit._n 1.15_o all_o thing_n be_v clean_o but_o to_o the_o unclean_a all_o thing_n be_v pollute_v and_o corrupt_v even_o their_o understanding_n when_o a_o man_n brain_n be_v taint_v when_o his_o understanding_n be_v corrupt_v it_o be_v most_o pestilent_a when_o he_o take_v lie_n for_o truth_n when_o he_o follow_v error_n instead_o of_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n this_o be_v not_o the_o condition_n of_o a_o man_n well_o educate_v by_o grace_n therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o let_v we_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n evil_a word_n corrupt_v good_a manner_n and_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o all_o ill_a manner_n and_o ill_a speech_n which_o be_v the_o next_o and_o the_o main_a thing_n that_o i_o shall_v come_v unto_o i_o shall_v speak_v but_o a_o word_n of_o it_o the_o word_n signify_v not_o only_o a_o pass_v fly_a word_n but_o a_o settle_a discourse_n of_o a_o company_n and_o society_n of_o man_n a_o kind_n of_o league_n that_o man_n have_v together_o for_o the_o word_n that_o be_v fly_v and_o pass_v away_o they_o may_v be_v reject_v and_o cast_v away_o every_o wicked_a man_n that_o speak_v ill_a and_o wicked_o he_o be_v not_o present_o apprehend_v or_o like_v of_o but_o if_o a_o man_n still_o keep_v on_o and_o make_v his_o discourse_n of_o it_o if_o he_o make_v it_o his_o disputation_n and_o argue_v the_o case_n now_o the_o danger_n come_v there_o be_v nothing_o worse_o than_o such_o ill_a word_n to_o corrupt_v good_a manner_n our_o first_o parent_n adam_n and_o eve_n be_v corrupt_v so_o even_o by_o evil_a word_n the_o serpent_n offer_v they_o no_o violence_n but_o only_o speak_v a_o evil_a word_n and_o so_o he_o convey_v that_o poison_n he_o do_v not_o offer_v according_a to_o the_o power_n that_o the_o devil_n the_o wicked_a angel_n have_v to_o hurt_v their_o body_n he_o offer_v they_o no_o injury_n by_o force_n but_o he_o speak_v the_o word_n and_o so_o enter_v into_o eve_n into_o that_o grace_n and_o justice_n that_o be_v original_o in_o he●_n and_o corrupt_v it_o in_o a_o moment_n behold_v how_o soon_o one_o spark_n of_o fire_n kindle_v a_o whole_a stack_n of_o corn_n how_o one_o scab_a sheep_n infect_v all_o the_o flock_n it_o be_v infinite_a to_o see_v how_o corruption_n grow_v and_o spread_v itself_o like_o a_o tetter_n that_o it_o be_v seldom_o or_o never_o restrain_v and_o limit_v except_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n use_v a_o mighty_a hand_n in_o it_o and_o as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o first_o so_o it_o be_v now_o as_o saint_n austin_n say_v aug._n aug._n thou_o kill_v not_o thy_o brother_n by_o the_o sword_n or_o by_o a_o violent_a hand_n as_o cain_n kill_v abel_n but_o thou_o do_v as_o bad_a thou_o speak_v a_o bad_a word_n thou_o give_v he_o bad_a counsel_n thou_o give_v he_o a_o ill_a example_n and_o that_o be_v worse_a than_o to_o kill_v with_o the_o sword_n for_o the_o sword_n go_v but_o to_o a_o man_n body_n but_o evil_a word_n they_o go_v to_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o soul_n and_o always_o the_o infection_n the_o deep_a it_o be_v and_o the_o near_o the_o heart_n the_o more_o dangerous_a and_o the_o worse_a it_o be_v evil_n word_n corrupt_v good_a manner_n if_o evil_a word_n corrupt_v good_a manner_n what_o do_v evil_a book_n then_o for_o as_o long_o as_o the_o word_n be_v but_o speak_v it_o be_v but_o wind_n that_o go_v and_o come_v there_o be_v no_o great_a regard_n to_o be_v have_v of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o light_a matter_n and_o he_o be_v a_o perfect_a man_n that_o never_o slide_v and_o stumble_v in_o his_o word_n every_o man_n will_v give_v a_o man_n leave_v to_o toss_v and_o roll_v himself_o in_o his_o word_n and_o will_v take_v it_o when_o it_o come_v to_o his_o own_o turn_n again_o but_o evil_a book_n lascivious_a wicked_a book_n that_o be_v set_v forth_o when_o they_o be_v exhibit_v they_o remain_v and_o hold_v on_o therefore_o certain_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v damn_v that_o speak_v ill_a word_n which_o tend_v to_o the_o subversion_n of_o good_a manner_n and_o to_o the_o corruption_n of_o god_n
