idleness_n vanity_n and_o folly_n in_o their_o word_n and_o conversation_n be_v sign_n of_o madness_n and_o not_o of_o christianity_n so_o let_v all_o friend_n stand_v up_o in_o the_o noble_a and_o

deny_v the_o world_n corrupt_a word_n and_o way_n in_o some_o thing_n if_o we_o deny_v not_o the_o world_n in_o all_o its_o own_o corrupt_a word_n way_n and_o work_n to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o that_o any_o shall_v refuse_v to_o join_v with_o the_o world_n in_o say_v you_o to_o a_o single_a person_n and_o yet_o join_v with_o the_o world_n in_o other_o thing_n as_o bad_a and_o worse_o and_o perhaps_o some_o will_v think_v it_o a_o great_a oversight_n to_o say_v you_o to_o one_o and_o be_v ashamed_a and_o trouble_v for_o it_o and_o yet_o join_v with_o they_o in_o that_o which_o the_o

of_o truth_n and_o truth_n itself_o on_o that_o account_n wherefore_o l●t_v we_o all_o be_v sober_a and_o watchful_a in_o all_o thing_n that_o the_o enemy_n get_v no_o advantage_n and_o if_o we_o

concern_v which_o thing_n i_o have_v often_o bear_v great_a burden_n upon_o i_o both_o on_o my_o own_o account_n and_o other_o as_o find_v the_o hurt_n of_o they_o and_o how_o they_o defile_v and_o
