and_o a_o humble_a person_n must_v undertake_v it_o or_o else_o it_o will_v never_o succeed_v a_o proud_a man_n must_v be_v always_o treat_v gentle_o and_o gain_v by_o insensible_a degree_n to_o

great_a a_o affront_n as_o if_o we_o pretend_v to_o be_v clearer-sighted_n than_o he_o and_o therefore_o the_o best_a way_n be_v to_o lead_v he_o fair_o and_o soft_o by_o his_o own_o principle_n till_o we_o have_v bring_v he_o so_o near_o the_o matter_n that_o he_o may_v easy_o and_o clear_o see_v his_o own_o mistake_n without_o our_o point_v at_o it_o let_v he_o but_o have_v the_o honour_n of_o seem_v to_o find_v it_o himself_o and_o then_o he_o will_v willing_o own_v it_o to_o do_v all_o this_o be_v no_o hard_a task_n unless_o we_o be_v as_o proud_a as_o he_o if_o we_o be_v true_o

again_o we_o have_v already_o see_v how_o humble_a our_o saviour_n be_v in_o not_o offer_v to_o cure_v the_o dropsical_a man_n before_o he_o have_v consult_v the_o company_n and_o by_o their_o

be_v bold_a enough_o to_o tell_v they_o to_o their_o face_n how_o blind_a how_o covetous_a and_o how_o uncharitable_a they_o be_v our_o saviour_n teach_v we_o another_o lesson_n learn_v of_o i_o because_o i_o be_o humble_a he_o do_v not_o tell_v they_o they_o be_v proud_a and_o blind_a but_o endeavour_n to_o put_v they_o in_o a_o way_n of_o open_v their_o eye_n and_o choose_v that_o method_n of_o discourse_v which_o be_v least_o offensive_a to_o they_o he_o do_v not_o tell_v they_o they_o be_v covetous_a but_o argue_v from_o a_o particular_a maxim_n of_o their_o own_o which_o he_o know_v their_o covetousness_n will_v always_o help_v they_o to_o approve_v of_o their_o vanity_n of_o be_v exact_a in_o the_o observance_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v great_a than_o their_o charity_n to_o their_o neighbour_n and_o therefore_o they_o conclude_v it_o be_v a_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n to_o cure_v a_o man_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n but_o yet_o their_o covetousness_n be_v more_o

of_o a_o beast_n which_o be_v worth_a money_n to_o they_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o real_a importance_n which_o the_o ceremonious_a piety_n of_o the_o sabbath_n may_v very_o well_o give_v place_n to_o but_o to_o save_v the_o life_n of_o a_o neighbour_n by_o who_o perhaps_o they_o be_v not_o like_a to_o get_v a_o penny_n alas_o what_o signify_v his_o life_n to_o they_o they_o be_v never_o
