our_o sense_n be_v the_o great_a argument_n of_o virtue_n and_o vice_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a to_o rely_v upon_o that_o evidence_n we_o can_v tell_v what_o pleasure_n and_o pain_n be_v

of_o vice_n upon_o they_o at_o all_o and_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n must_v be_v the_o same_o and_o the_o inclination_n regular_a and_o the_o disposition_n ready_a and_o the_o desire_v press_v and_o

examine_v yourself_o not_o by_o your_o clothes_n but_o by_o your_o body_n not_o by_o the_o extraordinary_n of_o a_o solemn_a religion_n but_o by_o the_o ordinary_n of_o a_o daily_a conversation_n these_o be_v the_o best_a sign_n i_o can_v tell_v of_o but_o they_o be_v to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o with_o the_o follow_a caution_n 1._o although_o in_o try_v whether_o your_o resolution_n be_v

imagination_n of_o a_o lustful_a object_n be_v of_o themselves_o a_o direct_a temptation_n and_o he_o that_o dress_v his_o fancy_n with_o remembrance_n of_o this_o vanity_n open_v a_o door_n to_o
