of_o other_o but_o your_o own_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n amiss_o in_o your_o neighbour_n let_v he_o mend_v it_o what_o be_v that_o to_o you_o do_v not_o you_o pass_v your_o bound_n because_o

since_o you_o must_v almost_o of_o necessity_n incline_v to_o one_o side_n or_o other_o of_o the_o balance_n it_o be_v much_o better_a you_o shall_v incline_v rather_o to_o indulgence_n then_o to_o much_o severity_n for_o to_o much_o indulgence_n be_v easy_o mond_v but_o to_o much_o severity_n once_o use_v be_v hardly_o ever_o forget_v indulgence_n or_o condecendency_n be_v a_o humane_a error_n

then_o fraternal_a charity_n but_o where_o there_o be_v any_o doubt_n you_o have_v better_o err_v twice_o out_o of_o to_o much_o charity_n than_o once_o out_o of_o two_o much_o rigour_n son_n these_o

and_o so_o disturb_v your_o peace_n you_o must_v therefore_o last_o learn_v how_o to_o bear_v injury_n when_o they_o happen_v so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o disturb_v your_o peace_n of_o mind_n if_o
