from_o disputation_n to_o devotion_n from_o controversy_n to_o conscience_n and_o from_o henceforth_o to_o labour_v to_o work_v in_o myself_o and_o other_o true_a mortification_n and_o sanctify_a

be_v not_o only_a place_n of_o pleasure_n but_o also_o ever-flowing_a fountain_n of_o profit_n and_o preferment_n no_o marvel_n if_o nimble_a wit_n do_v there_o set_v themselves_o a-work_o to_o

i_o suppose_v by_o the_o chronicle_n of_o all_o kingdom_n and_o country_n now_o though_o the_o english_a court_n guide_v by_o so_o godly_a and_o gracious_a a_o sovereign_n be_v of_o all_o other_o most_o remarkable_a for_o learned_a preach_n religious_a prayer_n and_o angelical_a laud_v and_o praise_v of_o god_n with_o spiritual_a hymn_n and_o ravish_a strain_n of_o melodious_a music_n though_o it_o be_v beautify_v and_o adorn_v with_o a_o most_o worthy_a garland_n of_o sage_a senator_n noble_n and_o gentleman_n yet_o i_o dare_v not_o altogether_o exempt_v it_o from_o such_o sin_n as_o have_v always_o be_v incident_a more_o or_o less_o to_o the_o palace_n of_o prince_n therefore_o in_o the_o second_o place_n i_o seek_v such_o a_o text_n as_o may_v lead_v i_o by_o the_o hand_n to_o reproove_v those_o vice_n and_o immediate_o i_o lay_v hold_v upon_o the_o story_n of_o king_n david_n but_o though_o david_n be_v a_o king_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o therefore_o single_v he_o out_o because_o he_o be_v a_o king_n neither_o intend_v i_o preach_v before_o a_o king_n to_o take_v occasion_n by_o king_n david_n to_o glanse_v in_o any_o wise_a at_o the_o sacred_a person_n of_o prince_n
