fancy_v they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o roman_a emperor_n because_o they_o be_v of_o another_o religion_n and_o this_o be_v a_o main_a point_n and_o our_o bless_a lord_n be_v a_o

to_o shame_n for_o that_o be_v true_a love_n and_o tenderness_n towards_o any_o person_n that_o they_o be_v candid_a in_o construe_v what_o be_v do_v or_o say_v by_o they_o and_o turn_v all_o so_o far_o as_o thing_n will_v reasonable_o bear_v to_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o may_v cherish_v and_o maintain_v a_o good_a opinion_n of_o they_o and_o the_o like_a these_o be_v real_a fruit_n of_o love_n and_o proper_a trial_n of_o our_o kindness_n towards_o any_o person_n and_o therefore_o be_v the_o true_a effect_n and_o sure_a sign_n of_o our_o be_v well_o affect_v towards_o they_o they_o must_v also_o pay_v they_o a_o inward_a reverence_n because_o of_o their_o power_n and_o preeminence_n render_v fear_n to_o who_o fear_n honour_n to_o who_o honour_n say_v st_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o

they_o alone_o to_o their_o own_o care_n show_v we_o think_v they_o fit_a to_o manage_v their_o own_o business_n when_o we_o pay_v a_o modest_a deference_n to_o their_o council_n which_o we_o have_v neither_o opportunity_n nor_o skill_n to_o judge_v of_o and_o which_o therefore_o we_o can_v censure_v without_o great_a arrogance_n and_o sauciness_n and_o last_o when_o we_o behave_v ourselves_o in_o their_o presence_n after_o a_o respectful_a sort_n not_o with_o sleightful_a and_o contemptuous_a deportment_n but_o with_o such_o become_a care_n as_o manifest_v a_o awe_n for_o they_o dwell_v upon_o our_o spirit_n 2._o to_o a_o prince_n all_o subject_n be_v bind_v to_o pay_v respectful_a speech_n and_o expression_n they_o must_v not_o use_v blunt_a reproof_n and_o unmannerly_a rudeness_n when_o at_o any_o time_n they_o be_v address_v to_o themselves_o be_v it_o fit_a say_v elihu_n in_o job_n to_o say_v to_o a_o king_n thou_o be_v wicked_a and_o to_o prince_n you_o be_v ungodly_a job_n 34._o 18._o nor_o must_v they_o use_v irreverent_a &_o reproachful_a speech_n when_o at_o any_o time_n they_o discourse_v of_o they_o with_o other_o this_o imply_v two_o thing_n one_o be_v that_o they_o do_v not_o speak_v evil_a of_o their_o person_n be_v forward_o to_o tax_v and_o aggravate_v their_o fault_n the_o other_o be_v that_o they_o do_v not_o complain_v and_o envy_v against_o their_o administration_n delight_v to_o lay_v out_o the_o grievance_n of_o state_n and_o misguidance_n of_o affair_n both_o these_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o gnostic_n who_o bring_v the_o great_a scandal_n upon_o our_o religion_n in_o the_o first_o day_n they_o be_v always_o find_v fault_n as_o st._n judas_n say_v with_o the_o public_a management_n be_v murmerer_n and_o complainer_n v_o 16._o and_o

but_o because_o when_o there_o be_v thing_n blame-worthy_a in_o charity_n to_o their_o person_n and_o dutiful_a regard_n to_o their_o power_n we_o must_v not_o speak_v evil_a of_o they_o and_o
