this_o country_n have_v make_v no_o breach_n of_o friendship_n betwixt_o we_o for_o though_o there_o have_v be_v a_o civil_a war_n in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o a_o general_a war_n among_o the_o man_n

and_o choose_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n whereas_o those_o minister_n preach_v more_o their_o own_o word_n than_o god_n for_o they_o interpret_v the_o scripture_n to_o their_o own_o sense_n or_o rather_o to_o their_o factious_a humour_n and_o design_n and_o after_o their_o sermon_n their_o female_a flock_n gossip_v scripture_n visit_v each_o other_o to_o confer_v note_n and_o make_v repetition_n of_o the_o sermon_n as_o also_o to_o explain_v and_o expound_v they_o for_o first_o the_o minister_n expound_v the_o scripture_n and_o then_o the_o

know_v not_o what_o they_o mean_v or_o preach_v be_v so_o much_o and_o such_o nonsense_n in_o their_o sermon_n as_o god_n himself_o can_v turn_v to_o sense_n but_o howsoever_o it_o work_v on_o some_o to_o a_o good_a effect_n and_o cause_n as_o much_o devotion_n among_o many_o as_o if_o they_o preach_v learned_o eloquent_o and_o interpret_v right_o and_o to_o the_o true_a sense_n &_o meaning_n

and_o the_o lord_n g._n v._o for_o worth_n and_o merit_n strive_v which_o shall_v excel_v each_o other_o in_o virtue_n noble_a quality_n practicable_a art_n learned_a science_n witty_a poetry_n and_o the_o like_a as_o for_o justice_n temperance_n valour_n fortitude_n generosity_n gratitude_n fidelity_n and_o loyalty_n as_o also_o for_o courtesy_n civility_n and_o obligement_n for_o wise_a

each_o other_o and_o watch_v all_o opportunity_n to_o oblige_v each_o other_o think_v and_o esteem_v it_o a_o happiness_n so_o to_o do_v for_o the_o effect_n of_o emulation_n be_v quite_o different_a from_o the_o effect_n of_o envy_n for_o envy_n be_v full_a of_o dispraise_n and_o detraction_n either_o covert_o or_o open_o and_o watch_v all_o opportunity_n to_o do_v mischief_n and_o to_o obscure_v the_o beauty_n of_o virtue_n and_o the_o grace_n and_o become_a demeanour_n of_o virtuosoe_n whereas_o emulation_n rejoice_v when_o virtue_n be_v visible_o see_v and_o just_o praise_v and_o virtuosoe_n high_o commend_v indeed_o emulation_n dwell_v with_o the_o worthy_a person_n envy_n with_o the_o base_a but_o madam_n it_o be_v a_o wonder_n in_o a_o age_n so_o base_o bad_a there_o shall_v be_v two_o person_n so_o noble_o good_a when_o most_o man_n spend_v their_o time_n so_o idle_o vain_a that_o they_o shall_v spend_v their_o time_n so_o ingenious_o prudent_a when_o vice_n be_v advance_v and_o virtue_n disgrace_v that_o they_o shall_v shall_fw-ge shun_v that_o advancement_n and_o embrace_v virtue_n when_o treason_n be_v reward_v and_o loyalty_n punish_v that_o they_o shall_v loyal_o suffer_v and_o not_o base_o betray_v when_o flattery_n be_v hear_v and_o truth_n reject_v that_o they_o shall_v choose_v to_o be_v silent_a or_o speak_v what_o they_o think_v they_o covet_v not_o office_n authority_n and_o wealth_n nor_o do_v they_o ambitious_o strive_v to_o command_v but_o when_o they_o be_v employ_v they_o do_v not_o grow_v proud_a with_o their_o authority_n and_o place_n nor_o rich_a by_o take_v bribe_n nor_o do_v they_o partial_o favour_v their_o friend_n nor_o be_v they_o unjust_a to_o their_o foe_n they_o use_v no_o malice_n nor_o favour_n but_o be_v upright_o and_o just_a and_o in_o their_o command_n in_o war_n or_o government_n in_o peace_n although_o they_o be_v careful_o strict_a they_o be_v not_o imperious_a nor_o cruel_a but_o in_o short_a they_o endeavour_v to_o serve_v their_o king_n loyal_o their_o country_n faithful_o and_o every_o particular_a man_n generous_o if_o it_o lie_v in_o their_o power_n but_o leave_v these_o two_o noble_n to_o their_o glorious_a emulating_n i_o rest_v madam_n your_o faithful_a fr._n &_o s._n xix_o madam_n as_o the_o emulation_n between_o the_o lord_n v._o a._n and_o the_o lord_n g._n v._o be_v
