a_o man_n be_v vicious_a and_o his_o crime_n deserve_v all_o the_o contempt_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o his_o person_n and_o as_o he_o be_v our_o brother_n he_o rather_o deserve_v our_o pity_n and_o in_o truth_n we_o be_v rash_a fool_n to_o hate_v any_o thing_n that_o god_n do_v not_o he_o only_o and_o whole_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o standard_n of_o our_o affection_n and_o besure_n as_o he_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v hate_v we_o for_o our_o misfortune_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v to_o hate_v we_o for_o be_v his_o very_a creature_n to_o do_v it_o and_o which_o be_v impossible_a so_o the_o only_a occasion_n of_o his_o contempt_n of_o we_o be_v our_o misaction_n and_o our_o aberration_n from_o his_o law_n and_o yet_o even_o then_o also_o he_o have_v mercy_n and_o we_o if_o we_o will_v

can_v to_o advise_v he_o much_o more_o not_o to_o despise_v he_o so_o be_v there_o any_o one_o wicked_a it_o be_v my_o duty_n to_o reform_v he_o and_o not_o harden_v he_o by_o scoff_v at_o he_o and_o indeed_o christ_n by_o his_o example_n show_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v for_o and_o advise_v not_o only_o our_o enemy_n but_o our_o murderer_n also_o and_o with_o what_o arrogance_n then_o shall_v we_o presume_v to_o leave_v our_o station_n as_o creature_n i_o mean_v in_o continue_v in_o invincible_a brotherly_a love_n and_o to_o take_v upon_o we_o like_o god_n through_o a_o rash_a and_o peremptory_a contempt_n to_o judge_n censure_n and_o condemn_v as_o our_o little_a fancy_n shall_v lead_v we_o of_o libel_n but_o above_o all_o thing_n in_o this_o matter_n our_o personal_a

it_o deserve_v some_o have_v prescribe_v humility_n and_o say_v a_o flint_n be_v easy_a break_v on_o a_o featherbed_n other_o to_o avoid_v it_o like_o sir_n john_n sucklin_n have_v laugh_v at_o

as_o a_o secret_a belong_v to_o the_o wise_a to_o give_v full_a liberty_n to_o the_o malice_n and_o envy_n of_o such_o the_o base_a sort_n and_o to_o let_v they_o vent_v themselves_o in_o calumny_n

for_o fear_v of_o revenge_n they_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o forbear_v and_o indeed_o otherwise_o the_o only_a remedy_n against_o satyr_n and_o libel_n be_v a_o contemptible_a silence_n nor_o can_v

let_v the_o vocabulary_a help_v they_o to_o term_n particular_a science_n to_o principle_n and_o definition_n her_o business_n be_v only_o to_o cast_v up_o the_o account_n so_o what_o have_v she_o

than_o which_o nothing_o be_v more_o pedantic_a but_o to_o a_o real_a and_o obvious_a contrariety_n and_o inconsistency_n and_o under_o which_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o submit_v and_o not_o to_o dispute_v on_o as_o if_o he_o aim_v at_o victory_n and_o wrangle_v rather_o than_o to_o search_v for_o truth_n and_o therefore_o in_o sincerity_n we_o ought_v to_o desist_v as_o if_o we_o have_v no_o
