they_o to_o who_o they_o be_v direct_v as_o otherwise_o they_o may_v be_v if_o there_o be_v true_a sanctity_n and_o holiness_n in_o the_o hearer_n and_o speaker_n as_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v and_o that_o therefore_o no_o man_n shall_v speak_v to_o himself_o or_o to_o other_o or_o hear_v other_o speak_v of_o good_a thing_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v strive_v first_o to_o purge_v themselves_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o then_o to_o fit_v and_o fill_v themselves_o with_o all_o purity_n and_o piety_n that_o so_o there_o be_v a_o analogy_n and_o proportion_n between_o inward_a holiness_n and_o outward_a holy_a thing_n propound_v the_o holy_a and_o good_a thing_n of_o god_n may_v be_v more_o profitable_a than_o they_o have_v be_v and_o so_o we_o may_v see_v one_o special_a cause_n why_o good_a thing_n speak_v either_o in_o public_a or_o in_o private_a profit_v so_o small_o no_o man_n neither_o speaker_n nor_o hearer_n have_v conscience_n or_o care_n to_o cleanse_v their_o hand_n or_o to_o purge_v their_o heart_n but_o as_o though_o that_o they_o be_v clean_o enough_o already_o if_o not_o too_o clean_o or_o as_o though_o their_o
