enough_o within_o door_n and_o may_v well_o spare_v their_o curious_a inquisition_n and_o unnecessary_a pry_n into_o of_o their_o man_n we_o have_v iron_n enough_o of_o our_o own_o in_o the_o fire_n we_o need_v not_o curious_o and_o overbusy_o meddle_v with_o other_o man_n lest_o our_o own_o shall_v be_v burn_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o do_v not_o task_n those_o that_o be_v call_v to_o

this_o work_n or_o which_o be_v whole_o take_v up_o with_o examine_v and_o prepare_v of_o other_o never_o think_v serious_o of_o themselves_o or_o seldom_o and_o not_o so_o often_o as_o they_o shall_v he_o which_o examine_v other_o or_o counsel_v they_o to_o examine_v themselves_o &_o show_v they_o how_o to_o do_v it_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o forget_v or_o let_v we_o pass_v himself_o be_v

if_o he_o take_v not_o heed_n as_o they_o do_v thus_o much_o for_o this_o second_o doctrine_n a_o three_o follow_v chap._n 18._o and_o so_o let_v he_o eat_v in_o that_o the_o apostle_n have_v exhort_v
