moderate_a propension_n or_o that_o have_v bound_v his_o desire_n within_o the_o limit_n of_o reason_n and_o religion_n that_o arrive_v at_o these_o frenzy_n which_o have_v their_o cure_n in_o this_o house_n but_o usual_o some_o inordinate_a passion_n transport_v we_o first_o beyond_o our_o duty_n and_o then_o beyond_o our_o wit_n some_o be_v vain_a glorious_a and_o because_o they_o meet_v with_o scorn_n where_o they_o look_v for_o respect_n it_o be_v a_o disturbance_n first_o to_o their_o thought_n then_o to_o the_o very_a constitution_n of_o their_o brain_n and_o then_o pervert_v their_o

which_o a_o wise_a man_n ought_v to_o consider_v and_o that_o passion_n which_o be_v but_o the_o issue_n of_o a_o unreasonable_a lust_n conclude_v at_o last_o in_o a_o more_o unreasonable_a frenzy_n

such_o be_v that_o when_o they_o be_v restore_v to_o their_o sense_n they_o will_v correct_v their_o passion_n by_o reason_n and_o religion_n and_o they_o will_v find_v the_o benefit_n of_o it_o in_o
