of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v do_v of_o they_o in_o secret_a how_o then_o can_v we_o with_o honesty_n by_o word_n reproove_v they_o which_o word_n be_v speak_v emphatical_o for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n to_o speak_v of_o they_o how_o much_o more_o shame_n to_o commit_v they_o use_v 1_o this_o be_v so_o it_o must_v stir_v up_o every_o one_o to_o study_v and_o endeavour_v after_o piety_n and_o godliness_n to_o lead_v a_o holy_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n to_o let_v our_o light_n of_o a_o holy_a example_n so_o shine_v before_o other_o that_o they_o may_v see_v our_o
