comfort_n to_o themselves_o but_o be_v as_o it_o be_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n 4._o i_o find_v some_o that_o be_v open_a and_o profane_a ranter_n curser_n swearer_n drunkard_n fighter_n

the_o precious_a thing_n put_v forth_o by_o the_o moon_n the_o enemy_n and_o shame_n of_o mankind_n and_o to_o their_o own_o body_n and_o soul_n i_o wish_v these_o man_n will_v better_o consider_v bethink_v themselves_o and_o examine_v in_o what_o a_o fearful_a and_o hopeless_a condition_n they_o be_v in_o with_o god_n and_o man._n for_o their_o action_n stink_v in_o the_o nostril_n of_o god_n and_o he_o will_v blast_v they_o with_o the_o breath_n of_o his_o displeasure_n for_o there_o be_v no_o comfort_n nor_o safety_n in_o their_o action_n be_v inhuman_a and_o barbarous_a a_o modest_a man_n that_o come_v into_o their_o company_n and_o hear_v their_o roar_n yell_n blasphemy_n and_o lewd_a speech_n and_o see_v their_o antic_a garb_n and_o monstrous_a behaviour_n think_v himself_o in_o the_o suburb_n of_o hell_n or_o rather_o in_o the_o court_n of_o beelzebub_n therefore_o these_o man_n of_o all_o man_n have_v the_o least_o hope_n of_o any_o reward_n in_o this_o world_n or_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o dignity_n office_n or_o trade_n to_o manage_v they_o be_v most_o unfit_a for_o they_o nor_o can_v the_o gate_n of_o honour_n without_o

never_o to_o come_v there_o and_o if_o there_o be_v none_o they_o be_v unworthy_a to_o be_v reward_v here_o so_o that_o they_o be_v the_o very_a scum_n and_o dross_n of_o the_o world_n and_o it_o
