among_o all_o other_o sin_n hypocrisy_n virtue_n hypocrisye_a the_o chief_a enemy_n to_o virtue_n be_v the_o most_o deadly_a enemy_n unto_o virtue_n in_o virtue_n there_o may_v be_v nothing_o counterfeit_a for_o therein_o be_v the_o only_a image_n of_o verity_n therefore_o it_o be_v well_o say_v of_o s._n cyprian_n that_o it_o profit_v not_o to_o show_v virtue_n in_o word_n &_o to_o destroy_v it_o in_o deed_n virtue_n than_o doubtl_a be_v a_o jewel_n of_o great_a worth_n for_o even_o the_o wicked_a do_v desire_v to_o have_v it_o at_o leastwise_o covet_v to_o make_v show_n to_o the_o world_n that_o they_o have_v it_o because_o they_o will_v be_v the_o better_o account_v of_o for_o like_a as_o a_o precious_a stone_n in_o a_o gold_n ring_n so_o shine_v a_o heart_n that_o be_v settle_v adversytie_n virtue_n best_o try_v in_o adversytie_n in_o virtue_n they_o therefore_o that_o will_v make_v show_n to_o the_o world_n that_o they_o have_v virtue_n when_o it_o be_v not_o so_o be_v like_a unto_o they_o that_o gild_v gold_n upon_o copper_n ring_n that_o their_o bravery_n may_v appear_v for_o a_o little_a while_n but_o in_o a_o short_a time_n it_o wear_v away_o gold_n be_v try_v by_o the_o touch_n and_o virtue_n by_o the_o continuance_n of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v counterfeit_a in_o time_n of_o adversity_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o be_v true_a virtue_n in_o deed_n which_o have_v be_v try_v in_o the_o fire_n of_o tribulation_n as_o the_o gold_n in_o the_o furnace_n nothing_o can_v easy_o corrupt_v a_o mind_n whole_o dedicate_v to_o virtue_n as_o worm_n will_v not_o eat_v the_o wood_n of_o cedar_n so_o nothing_o can_v hurt_v the_o soul_n possess_v with_o virtue_n true_a virtue_n join_v with_o faith_n do_v adorn_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o cause_v it_o to_o aspire_v unto_o heavenly_a thing_n therefore_o do_v saint_n peter_n say_v join_v virtue_n with_o your_o faith_n and_o saint_n paul_n say_v whatsoever_o thing_n be_v true_a 8._o phil._n 4._o 8._o whatsoever_o thing_n be_v honest_a what_o soever_o thing_n be_v just_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v pure_a whatsoever_o thing_n appertain_v unto_o love_n whatsoever_o thing_n appertain_v unto_o good_a report_n if_o there_o be_v any_o virtue_n if_o there_o be_v any_o praise_n think_v on_o these_o thing_n and_o then_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n shall_v be_v with_o you_o but_o here_o we_o may_v note_v by_o the_o way_n that_o this_o virtue_n in_o general_n have_v include_v in_o it_o many_o more_o particular_a branch_n than_o the_o apostle_n saint_n peter_n have_v link_v together_o in_o his_o chain_n which_o to_o entreat_v of_o at_o large_a will_v be_v very_o tedious_a therefore_o let_v this_o one_o word_n of_o s._n paul_n suffice_v for_o all_o whatsoever_o thing_n be_v of_o good_a report_n let_v that_o be_v embrace_v for_o a_o virtue_n only_o i_o think_v it_o meet_v to_o speak_v something_o here_o of_o humility_n because_o as_o s._n gregory_n virtue_n humility_n the_o keeper_n of_o virtue_n say_v she_o be_v the_o keeper_n of_o virtue_n and_o god_n himself_o the_o giver_n of_o faith_n &_o all_o other_o virtue_n have_v most_o respect_n unto_o they_o that_o in_o humbleness_n of_o mind_n cast_v themselves_o down_o before_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o majesty_n for_o thus_o say_v he_o that_o be_v high_a and_o excellent_a he_o that_o inhabit_v the_o eternity_n who_o name_n 15._o esay_n

we_o do_v acknowledge_v our_o own_o weakness_n humility_n a_o definition_n of_o humility_n &_o uncleanes_n join_v with_o the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n whereby_o also_o we_o do_v keep_v ourselves_o
