so_o then_o a_o weed_n must_v be_v use_v that_o wise_a roman_a speak_v most_o true_o sen._n sen._n bonis_fw-la nocet_fw-la qui_fw-la malis_fw-la parcit_fw-la he_o do_v hurt_v the_o good_a that_o

david_n physic_n 101_o psal_n 101_o a_o wicked_a person_n must_v not_o dwell_v in_o his_o house_n so_o david_n cure_v his_o sick_a kingdom_n and_o court_n antisthenes_n antisthenes_n hence_o the_o wise_a heathen_a resolve_v that_o it_o be_v the_o great_a pest_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n not_o to_o discern_v the_o good_a from_o the_o bad_a that_o be_v to_o observe_v and_o advance_v the_o ungodly_a

we_o come_v into_o our_o garden_n and_o orchard_n and_o see_v they_o grow_v over_o with_o nettle_n and_o such_o other_o trash_n present_o we_o fall_v to_o weed_n &_o prune_v and_o be_v offend_v with_o

in_o the_o land_n but_o alas_o what_o fruit_n can_v we_o expect_v when_o not_o only_a brier_n and_o thistle_n be_v suffer_v to_o grow_v up_o but_o be_v more_o cherish_v than_o the_o good_a and_o

that_o they_o wither_v and_o die_v for_o want_v of_o pluck_v up_o the_o weed_n of_o vice_n that_o overtoppe_v they_o the_o three_o inquiry_n be_v how_o goodness_n shall_v be_v so_o desire_v of_o all_o and_o so_o little_o practise_v of_o any_o first_o shall_v i_o say_v it_o be_v like_o the_o little_a book_n which_o john_n take_v and_o cate_z 10_o apoc._n 10_o and_o it_o be_v in_o his_o mouth_n as_o

to_o all_o so_o it_o have_v a_o magnetical_a attractive_a power_n to_o draw_v all_o to_o the_o gaze_n of_o it_o the_o face_n of_o goodness_n be_v so_o beautiful_a that_o the_o most_o profane_a man_n
