sorrow_n when_o we_o write_v letter_n dissuade_v from_o sorrow_n and_o lamentation_n we_o must_v divide_v they_o into_o four_o part_n first_o to_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v dishonour_n and_o damage_n in_o such_o a_o case_n to_o show_v himself_o sorrowful_a consider_v that_o every_o wise_a man_n ought_v of_o duty_n to_o show_v himself_o equal_a aswell_o in_o prosperity_n as_o in_o adversity_n and_o

he_o ought_v to_o rejoice_v four_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o leave_v such_o grief_n and_o sadness_n allege_v some_o reason_n for_o the_o same_o purpose_n the_o example_n wherein_o brutus_n dissuade_v marcus_n antonius_n from_o sorrow_v for_o the_o death_n of_o caesar_n a_o good_a man_n of_o duty_n my_o friend_n marcus_n antonius_n ought_v not_o only_o to_o love_v the_o prosperity_n of_o

but_o very_o detestable_a and_o dishonest_a for_o a_o particular_a profit_n to_o consume_v the_o public_a profit_n and_o he_o that_o so_o do_v aught_o shameful_o to_o be_v throw_v down_o to_o death_n and_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v lament_v of_o his_o friend_n but_o because_o i_o see_v that_o for_o the_o death_n of_o caesar_n you_o pour_v out_o abundance_n of_o tear_n therefore_o can_v i_o not_o choose_v but_o much_o marvel_n of_o you_o since_o you_o have_v always_o be_v a_o loyal_a burgess_n and_o that_o not_o only_o the_o common_a weal_n have_v be_v through_o you_o augment_v but_o also_o unto_o they_o y_fw-fr t_o have_v thereunto_o be_v contrary_a you_o have_v always_o be_v a_o rigorous_a hinderer_n a_o straight_a judge_n &_o a_o invincible_a defender_n more_o than_o though_o they_o have_v offend_v your_o own_o person_n therefore_o take_v unto_o you_o again_o your_o old_a custom_n and_o be_v not_o greve_v for_o the_o death_n of_o so_o cruel_a a_o tyrant_n which_o death_n all_o

wherefore_o i_o think_v that_o for_o such_o a_o death_n you_o ought_v rather_o to_o rejoice_v than_o to_o sorrow_n since_o that_o by_o the_o death_n of_o so_o wicked_a a_o usurper_n we_o be_v return_v
