by_o a_o unprositable_a life_n when_o we_o do_v not_o only_o render_v ourselves_o not_o desire_v by_o be_v useless_a in_o our_o generation_n but_o be_v as_o it_o be_v kick_v out_o of_o the_o world_n

the_o fat_a swine_n who_o death_n be_v desire_v because_o then_o only_o profitable_a when_o man_n neither_o by_o any_o useful_a employment_n increase_v their_o own_o wealth_n nor_o by_o any_o acceptable_a quanties_n engage_v the_o affection_n of_o other_o but_o be_v like_o smoke_n to_o the_o eye_n of_o those_o which_o they_o converse_v with_o by_o crabbed_a condition_n and_o by_o

and_o noisome_a to_o all_o that_o be_v good_a 2._o how_o detestable_a be_v it_o by_o a_o debauch_a life_n to_o render_v your_o posterity_n ashamed_a of_o your_o remembrance_n when_o you_o burn_v a_o

bury_v with_o a_o speedy_a oblivion_n the_o law_n say_v deut._n 23.2_o that_o a_o bastard_n shall_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o ten_o generation_n and_o very_o how_o often_o be_v it_o that_o the_o generation_n to_o come_v very_o long_o after_o be_v reproach_v with_o those_o act_n of_o uncleanness_n oppression_n cruelty_n and_o villainy_n which_o be_v

the_o substance_n of_o his_o house_n for_o love_n it_o will_v be_v utter_o contemn_v so_o may_v we_o say_v that_o no_o cost_n can_v purchase_v off_o this_o blot_n no_o expense_n no_o heroic_a worth_n of_o posterity_n can_v purge_v away_o this_o reproach_n but_o like_o a_o fret_a canker_n it_o eat_v through_o the_o most_o solid_a marble_n and_o leave_v a_o ugliness_n which_o no_o hand_n can_v mend_v a_o filth_n which_o no_o soap_n no_o nitre_n can_v wash_v off_o a_o stench_n that_o all_o the_o odour_n of_o arabia_n can_v prevent_v the_o odious_a resentment_n of_o it_o 3._o how_o abominable_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o be_v the_o pattern_n of_o notorious_a wickedness_n to_o the_o generation_n to_o come_v and_o have_v your_o name_n register_v among_o the_o black_a regiment_n
