out_o of_o the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o most_o excellent_a servant_n of_o god_n wicked_a therefore_o &_o impious_a be_v their_o allegation_n which_o allege_v david_n adultery_n lot_n drunkenness_n

then_o i_o take_v you_o at_o the_o rebound_n and_o return_v your_o own_o weapon_n upon_o yourself_o that_o since_o godly_a man_n can_v escape_v through_o this_o world_n without_o blow_n what_o shall_v

24._o than_o be_v right_a shall_v sure_o come_v to_o poverty_n so_o than_o you_o see_v that_o covetousness_n bring_v poverty_n thus_o therefore_o i_o reason_n that_o which_o bring_v poverty_n be_v

which_o trouble_v a_o man_n house_n be_v no_o good_a husbandry_n but_o covetousness_n trouble_v a_o man_n house_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o good_a husbandry_n last_o of_o all_o the_o old_a proverb_n say_v covetousness_n bring_v nothing_o home_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o good_a husbandry_n for_o oftentimes_o we_o do_v see_v that_o man_n for_o covetousness_n of_o more_o lose_v that_o which_o otherwise_o they_o may_v have_v have_v one_o of_o the_o wise_a heathen_a say_v evil_a gain_n be_v as_o bad_a as_o hesiodus_n loss_n but_o the_o covetous_a man_n do_v seek_v after_o wicked_a gain_n
