curuae_fw-la in_o terris_fw-la animae_fw-la &_o coelestium_fw-la inane_n o_o crooked_a soul_n on_o earth_n and_o void_a of_o heavenly_a thing_n 17_o psa_fw-la 17_o to_o how_o many_o may_v we_o say_v they_o turn_v their_o eye_n down_o to_o the_o ground_n never_o lift_v up_o their_o eye_n to_o heaven_n from_o whence_o all_o good_a come_v to_o they_o but_o like_o swine_n fee_fw-fr de_fw-fr on_o the_o acorn_n never_o look_v up_o to_o the_o tree_n that_o bear_v the_o now_o if_o you_o will_v take_v a_o list_n of_o they_o and_o number_v they_o if_o you_o can_v so_o many_o as_o i_o shall_v see_v to_o be_v delight_v with_o the_o filthy_a puddle_n of_o carnal_a pleasure_n neither_o perceive_v hear_v or_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o piety_n and_o godliness_n but_o only_o to_o serve_v the_o time_n so_o many_o must_v i_o judge_v to_o be_v swine_n o_o how_o many_o swine_n have_v this_o world_n in_o opulent_a city_n and_o glorious_a court_n of_o prince_n where_o man_n shall_v in_o great_a plenty_n be_v see_v even_o there_o they_o play_v they_o swine_n and_o bruit_n beast_n there_o be_v circe_n turn_v man_n into_o swine_n there_o be_v epiourus_fw-la that_o tame_a unclean_a hog_n there_o be_v all_o kind_n of_o beast_n innumerable_a small_a and_o great_a as_o many_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v have_v no_o more_o soul_n than_o a_o swine_n auimam_fw-la pro_fw-la sale_n only_o a_o soul_n to_o keep_v the_o body_n from_o stink_a &_o rot_v as_o beast_n have_v who_o never_o dream_n of_o another_o life_n where_o so_o ule_n be_v immortal_a but_o live_v as_o if_o there_o be_v neither_o heaven_n nor_o hell_n as_o the_o atheist_n of_o our_o time_n so_o many_o swine_n &_o beast_n we_o may_v say_v there_o be_v o_o good_a god_n how_o do_v the_o earth_n abound_v with_o such_o kind_n of_o swine_n the_o sow_n that_o farrow_v thirty_o white_a pig_n in_o the_o place_n where_o aeneas_n found_v and_o build_v his_o city_n alba_n have_v never_o such_o a_o plentiful_a litter_n as_o

they_o to_o be_v swine_n that_o cram_v themselves_o with_o delicate_n till_o it_o come_v uppe_o again_o nothing_o commiserate_v the_o poor_a member_n of_o christ_n which_o by_o want_n or_o loss_n be_v drive_v to_o extreme_a poverty_n no_o man_n remember_v the_o affliction_n of_o joseph_n nor_o ever_o either_o yield_v they_o wool_n to_o clothe_v they_o or_o milk_n to_o feed_v they_o more_o than_o swine_n do_v but_o what_o talk_v i_o of_o swine_n these_o swine_n swim_v in_o all_o kind_n of_o superfluity_n even_o unto_o surfeit_n these_o swine_n come_v not_o all_o to_o the_o shambles_n nor_o do_v all_o of_o they_o accompany_v ulysses_n a_o shipboard_n these_o feed_v not_o in_o the_o farm_n under_o the_o tree_n they_o use_v not_o all_o one_o common_a sty_n but_o even_o famous_a city_n goodly_a country_n and_o glorious_a court_n of_o king_n be_v full_o fraught_v with_o such_o swine_n that_o as_o solomon_n say_v 12_o eccl._n 12_o there_o be_v no_o end_n in_o make_v book_n so_o have_v in_o some_o sort_n view_v this_o hear_v of_o swine_n if_o we_o shall_v take_v a_o account_n of_o the_o other_o bruit_n beast_n to_o which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n fit_o compare_v wicked_a voluptuous_a impenitent_a sinner_n i_o shall_v rather_o weary_v you_o then_o reckon_v they_o up_o there_o will_v be_v no_o end_n in_o number_v they_o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o his_o fellow_n labourer_n 20_o act_n 20_o that_o after_o his_o departure_n grievous_a wolf_n will_v enter_v not_o spare_v the_o flock_n so_o i_o may_v say_v not_o only_o that_o the_o heathen_a but_o that_o all_o manner_n of_o

these_o thing_n faith_n the_o lord_n shall_v not_o my_o soul_n be_v avenge_v on_o such_o a_o nation_n as_o this_o here_o than_o i_o require_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v first_o that_o we_o will_v keep_v the_o method_n which_o god_n propose_v in_o do_v good_a that_o be_v that_o in_o every_o of_o our_o action_n the_o goodness_n to_o be_v do_v to_o other_o be_v aim_v at_o second_o that_o we_o labour_v to_o preserve_v goodness_n and_o good_a man_n by_o take_v away_o the_o worm_n that_o kill_v they_o first_o to_o keep_v the_o order_n that_o god_n use_v for_o god_n prefer_v order_n before_o all_o thing_n and_o as_o saint_n augustine_n say_v bonum_fw-la in_o ordine_fw-la consist_v it_o good_a consist_v in_o order_n now_o this_o be_v god_n order_n 1._o to_o aim_v at_o our_o good_a
