they_o may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o gain_v their_o husband_n i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o there_o be_v many_o gracious_a woman_n that_o will_v give_v if_o they_o have_v it_o a_o thousand_o world_n to_o gain_v their_o husband_n to_o those_o way_n of_o godliness_n that_o they_o have_v find_v so_o much_o sweetness_n in_o but_o perhaps_o they_o can_v get_v they_o to_o come_v and_o hear_v the_o

will_v not_o do_v you_o may_v be_v converter_n of_o they_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n indeed_o there_o may_v be_v woman_n preacher_n that_o be_v preach_v in_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n and_o that_o be_v all_o the_o preach_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n allow_v woman_n let_v they_o preach_v that_o way_n in_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n in_o their_o family_n and_o preach_v every_o day_n a_o sermon_n and_o neither_o god_n nor_o man_n will_v find_v fault_n with_o any_o such_o thing_n and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n for_o they_o to_o do_v great_a service_n for_o god_n and_o so_o likewise_o shall_v husband_n do_v to_o convert_v their_o wife_n you_o complain_v one_o of_o another_o but_o do_v you_o labour_v to_o convince_v and_o convert_v one_o another_o by_o your_o holy_a

the_o holy_a conversation_n of_o my_o wife_n since_o she_o go_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n by_o see_v the_o wisdom_n humility_n obedience_n and_o carriage_n of_o my_o wife_n it_o strike_v upon_o my_o

see_v it_o in_o the_o child_n or_o the_o child_n in_o the_o parent_n or_o brother_n in_o brother_n or_o one_o servant_n in_o another_o it_o have_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o turn_v they_o unto_o god_n in_o the_o last_o place_n if_o they_o be_v not_o turn_v to_o god_n than_o your_o conversation_n shall_v serve_v to_o condemn_v they_o to_o aggravate_v their_o sin_n and_o their_o condemnation_n in_o the_o day_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o noah_n in_o heb._n 11._o 7._o that_o noah_n prepare_v a_o ark_n by_o the_o which_o he_o condemn_v the_o world_n he_o condemn_v the_o world_n by_o that_o course_n of_o he_o in_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o in_o make_v the_o ark_n every_o nail_n that_o he_o smite_v into_o the_o ark_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o condemnation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o the_o saint_n by_o walk_v in_o their_o holy_a conversation_n shall_v be_v the_o judge_n and_o condemner_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o you_o be_v to_o be_v careful_a of_o your_o conversation_n in_o respect_n of_o wicked_a man_n also_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o saint_n we_o must_v be_v very_o careful_a of_o our_o conversation_n 1._o for_o by_o your_o conversation_n you_o will_v rejoice_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o saint_n oh_o those_o that_o be_v godly_a when_o they_o see_v other_o that_o profess_v godliness_n to_o walk_v in_o a_o strict_a and_o holy_a conversation_n how_o do_v it_o rejoice_v their_o heart_n it_o be_v the_o comfort_n of_o their_o life_n 2._o beside_o they_o bless_v god_n for_o it_o they_o not_o only_o rejoice_v in_o it_o but_o bless_v god_n for_o it_o when_o they_o get_v alone_o in_o secret_a they_o be_v blessing_n god_n for_o the_o gracious_a and_o holy_a and_o convince_a conversation_n of_o such_o and_o such_o kind_n of_o man_n that_o they_o converse_v with_o 3._o and_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o saint_n they_o have_v a_o boldness_n before_o man_n they_o can_v lift_v up_o their_o head_n wheresoever_o they_o go_v when_o they_o know_v that_o all_o such_o who_o make_v profession_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o place_n where_o they_o live_v they_o walk_v unblamable_o upon_o that_o godly_a man_n can_v hold_v up_o their_o head_n with_o boldness_n whereas_o otherwise_o it_o make_v such_o as_o be_v professor_n of_o religion_n ashamed_a when_o they_o see_v and_o hear_v of_o such_o and_o such_o that_o make_v profession_n of_o religion_n to_o walk_v scandalous_o and_o loose_o but_o of_o they_o we_o shall_v speak_v present_o 4._o then_o further_o your_o holy_a conversation_n it_o will_v establish_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o saint_n it_o will_v settle_v young_a beginner_n there_o be_v many_o that_o be_v give_v up_o their_o name_n to_o christ_n when_o they_o see_v the_o holy_a and_o gracious_a conversation_n of_o these_o that_o be_v ancient_a professor_n oh_o how_o be_v they_o establish_v in_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n 5._o and_o it_o will_v edify_v the_o saint_n they_o will_v edify_v and_o grow_v up_o in_o holiness_n they_o will_v imitate_v you_o and_o will_v find_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n not_o only_o strengthen_v but_o increase_v in_o they_o by_o your_o conversation_n oh_o the_o abundance_n of_o good_a that_o you_o may_v do_v and_o therefore_o christian_n have_v a_o care_n of_o your_o conversation_n 6._o then_o you_o in_o respect_n of_o yourselves_o by_o this_o mean_v you_o will_v have_v a_o evidence_n to_o your_o soul_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o grace_n in_o your_o heart_n which_o you_o can_v have_v if_o your_o conversation_n be_v not_o right_a in_o 1_o john_n 1._o 6._o mark_n what_o the_o apostle_n

of_o jesus_n christ_n you_o put_v jesue_n christ_n even_o to_o open_a shame_n by_o your_o conversation_n and_o such_o as_o you_o be_v be_v blot_n to_o profession_n &_o stain_n to_o religion_n and_o

of_o the_o gospel_n now_o the_o lord_n cause_n your_o conscience_n this_o day_n to_o resist_v you_o to_o your_o face_n and_o to_o speak_v in_o secret_a to_o you_o and_o to_o convince_v you_o of_o
