he_o have_v none_o his_o relation_n why_o but_o be_v not_o a_o man_n to_o provide_v for_o his_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o family_n yes_o he_o be_v worse_a than_o a_o infidel_n that_o provide_v not_o for_o his_o wife_n and_o for_o his_o family_n for_o his_o relation_n but_o when_o a_o man_n have_v relation_n he_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o be_v lose_v therein_o a_o man_n may_v be_v drink_v with_o his_o own_o bear_n or_o wine_n i_o have_v marry_v a_o wife_n and_o i_o can_v come_v therefore_o he_o be_v to_o use_v his_o relation_n as_o ●f_o he_o have_v none_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o care_n to_o

if_o he_o have_v none_o hinder_v no_o more_o by_o they_o than_o if_o he_o have_v none_o let_v he_o be_v as_o zealous_a for_o the_o truth_n as_o if_o he_o have_v none_o let_v he_o be_v as_o apt_a and_o
