as_o man_n use_v to_o take_v hellebore_n but_o they_o must_v dwell_v together_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n and_o be_v twist_v about_o his_o understanding_n for_o ever_o they_o must_v be_v use_v like_o nourishment_n that_o be_v by_o a_o daily_a care_n and_o meditation_n not_o like_o a_o single_a medicine_n and_o upon_o the_o actual_a pressure_n of_o a_o present_a necessity_n for_o counsel_n and_o wise_a discourse_n apply_v to_o a_o actual_a distemper_n at_o the_o best_a be_v but_o like_o strong_a smell_n to_o a_o epileptic_a person_n sometime_o they_o may_v raise_v he_o but_o they_o never_o cure_v he_o the_o follow_a rule_n if_o they_o be_v make_v familiar_a to_o our_o nature_n and_o the_o thought_n of_o every_o day_n may_v make_v virtue_n and_o religion_n become_v easy_a and_o habitual_a but_o when_o the_o temptation_n be_v present_a and_o have_v already_o seize_v upon_o some_o portion_n of_o our_o consent_n we_o be_v not_o so_o apt_a to_o be_v counsel_v and_o we_o

we_o must_v be_v curious_a to_o distinguish_v instrument_n from_o duty_n and_o prudent_a advice_n from_o necessary_a injunction_n and_o if_o by_o any_o other_o mean_v the_o duty_n can_v be_v secure_v

let_v they_o serve_v in_o that_o station_n in_o which_o they_o can_v be_v place_v for_o there_o be_v some_o person_n in_o who_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v breathe_v so_o bright_a a_o flame_n of_o love_n that_o they_o do_v all_o their_o act_n of_o virtue_n by_o perfect_a choice_n and_o without_o objection_n and_o their_o zeal_n be_v warm_a than_o that_o it_o will_v be_v allay_v by_o temptation_n and_o to_o such_o person_n mortification_n by_o philosophical_a instrument_n as_o fast_v sackcloth_n and_o other_o rudeness_n to_o the_o body_n be_v whole_o useless_a it_o be_v always_o
