our_o speech_n be_v a_o goodly_a ornament_n the_o apostle_n when_o they_o wait_v for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o jerusalem_n it_o descend_v upon_o they_o in_o the_o form_n of_o fiery_a tongue_n 6.23_o &_o than_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o speak_v as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v they_o utterance_n in_o apothegm_n or_o wise_a sentence_n and_o he_o that_o govern_v his_o tongue_n wise_o add_v doctrine_n to_o the_o lip_n that_o be_v so_o speak_v as_o that_o other_o be_v make_v wise_a thereby_o this_o wisdom_n be_v then_o show_v when_o a_o man_n can_v in_o judgement_n apply_v his_o talk_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o good_a manner_n make_v it_o fit_a to_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o person_n time_n place_n 19.11_o thing_n a_o fool_n pour_v out_o all_o his_o mind_n but_o a_o wise_a

wise_a must_v first_o of_o all_o himself_o become_v a_o wise_a man_n and_o the_o wise_a man_n of_o who_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v be_v a_o godly_a man_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o fear_v

will_v not_o sin_n because_o god_n bless_a majesty_n be_v by_o it_o offend_v and_o displease_v and_o if_o he_o have_v it_o in_o his_o choice_n whether_o he_o will_v sin_v or_o loose_v his_o life_n he_o have_v rather_o die_v then_o willing_o and_o witting_o sin_n against_o god_n this_o awe_n be_v in_o joseph_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o move_v he_o not_o to_o commit_v folly_n with_o putiphars_n wife_n 39.9_o how_o then_o say_v he_o can_v i_o do_v this_o great_a wickedness_n and_o sin_n against_o god_n awe_o in_o chastisement_n be_v when_o one_o humble_v himself_o under_o the_o mighty_a
