evil_a spirit_n provide_v before_o for_o the_o safety_n of_o their_o person_n so_o if_o by_o course_n of_o argument_n thou_o be_v force_v to_o contradict_v the_o evil_a spirit_n of_o any_o man_n be_v sure_a of_o thy_o own_o safety_n too_o for_o many_o be_v no_o better_a than_o evil_a spirit_n and_o kind_n of_o devil_n it_o be_v a_o care_n every_o man_n ought_v heedful_o to_o look_v unto_o what_o company_n he_o keep_v for_o evil_a base_a and_o ignorant_a company_n be_v like_o copper_n which_o if_o thou_o mix_v thyself_o with_o it_o will_v alaye_v thy_o reputation_n as_o gold_n and_o silver_n be_v allay_v therewith_o by_o the_o goldsmith_n in_o thy_o election_n and_o choice_n let_v not_o thy_o affection_n shame_v thy_o judgement_n but_o so_o choose_v that_o thy_o judgement_n may_v be_v commend_v in_o thy_o election_n the_o rail_a mouth_n of_o a_o envious_a villain_n against_o the_o good_a be_v the_o devil_n be_v baggpipe_n answer_v argument_n with_o reason_n if_o reason_n will_v not_o be_v hear_v or_o approve_v then_o answer_v they_o with_o silence_n remember_v always_o that_o practice_n or_o action_n take_v more_o deep_a impression_n with_o man_n than_o precept_n or_o discourse_n which_o diogenes_n well_o know_v when_o he_o tumble_v his_o tub_n our_o desire_n beget_v our_o care_n and_o our_o course_n our_o fortune_n or_o the_o accident_n befall_v we_o meet_v with_o other_o in_o the_o same_o passage_n which_o we_o wrongful_o attribute_v to_o destiny_n for_o all_o thing_n with_o we_o come_v from_o ourselves_o or_o by_o ourselves_o i_o mean_v mundane_o therefore_o when_o thou_o hear_v a_o man_n complain_v of_o fortune_n consider_v his_o course_n with_o himself_o and_o other_o the_o philosopher_n stone_n be_v like_o the_o northwest_n passage_n lock_v up_o in_o strechio_n d'avies_n but_o not_o so_o cold_a in_o seek_v thing_n proffer_v and_o easy_a to_o come_v by_o diminish_v themselves_o in_o reputation_n and_o price_n for_o how_o full_a of_o pang_n and_o dotage_n be_v a_o wail_a lover_n for_o it_o may_v be_v some_o brown_a bessie_a but_o let_v a_o beauty_n fall_v weep_v overpress_v with_o the_o sick_a passion_n she_o favour_v in_o our_o thought_n something_o turnbull_n a_o man_n poor_a yet_o rich_a in_o knowledge_n undertake_v to_o work_v some_o excellery_n in_o this_o helpless_a age_n be_v like_o a_o merchant_n that_o intend_v some_o rich_a sea_n voyage_n without_o a_o bark_n victual_n or_o man_n the_o wise_a fort_n of_o human_a judgement_n do_v not_o accept_v form_n for_o matter_n but_o matter_n for_o form_n otherwise_o our_o sophister_n will_v be_v take_v for_o wise_a man_n who_o be_v yet_o but_o prentice_n therein_o a_o constant_a and_o wise_a consider_v spirit_n give_v only_o place_n to_o man_n humour_n not_o to_o variation_n in_o truth_n a_o bold_a talk_a braggart_n be_v like_o the_o torrent_n run_v from_o a_o mill_n trouble_v the_o ear_n and_o eye_n fruitless_o with_o what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o see_v but_o angle_v he_o of_o his_o knowledge_n and_o you_o may_v perhaps_o catch_v a_o gudgeon_n the_o true_a correction_n of_o a_o ill_a tongue_a man_n or_o woman_n be_v to_o bid_v they_o speak_v as_o they_o have_v find_v and_o know_v and_o not_o more_o or_o less_o and_o forfeit_v for_o untruth_n he_o that_o converse_v among_o ill_a tongue_a people_n be_v like_o he_o that_o walk_v among_o thorn_n and_o to_o contend_v with_o they_o be_v to_o tread_v on_o snake_n and_o adder_n conversation_n with_o earthly_a company_n and_o terrestrial_a thing_n be_v but_o grovel_v upon_o this_o surface_n of_o our_o great_a molehill_n the_o earth_n but_o when_o we_o in_o our_o airy_a discourse_n lift_v ourselves_o high_a let_v we_o take_v heed_n we_o put_v not_o our_o mouth_n too_o peremptory_o into_o heaven_n nature_n be_v instrument_n wherewith_o she_o so_o wise_o and_o wonderful_o work_v in_o the_o universe_n as_o we_o see_v be_v the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n influence_n motion_n upon_o in_o and_o
