for_o howbeit_o the_o same_o virtue_n in_o kind_n and_o name_n be_v and_o may_v be_v find_v both_o in_o they_o that_o profess_v christ_n and_o those_o also_o that_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o true_a

of_o these_o be_v incident_a to_o heathen_a man_n &_o the_o virtue_n which_o they_o have_v serve_v only_o to_o repress_v the_o act_n of_o sin_n in_o their_o outward_a action_n but_o in_o christian_n they_o be_v grace_n of_o god_n not_o only_o bridle_v and_o restrain_v the_o affection_n but_o renew_v the_o heart_n and_o mortifyin_o all_o corruption_n and_o though_o those_o virtue_n of_o the_o
