as_o be_v solomon_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o book_n he_o say_v all_o be_v vanity_n and_o in_o the_o end_n he_o say_v fear_v god_n &_o keep_v his_o commandment_n in_o the_o 12._o chapter_n he_o say_v remember_v thy_o maker_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n but_o here_o he_o say_v rejoice_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n here_o he_o speak_v like_o a_o epicure_n which_o say_v eat_v

be_v in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o proverbe_n he_o laugh_v at_o the_o wicked_a in_o derision_n as_o in_o the_o 2._o psalm_n god_n see_v we_o follow_v our_o own_o way_n for_o when_o he_o bid_v we_o

at_o our_o destruction_n therefore_o when_o solomon_n give_v a_o sharp_a reproof_n and_o make_v you_o ashamed_a in_o a_o word_n he_o scoffinglie_o bid_v you_o do_v it_o again_o like_o a_o

libertine_n shall_v misconstrue_v solomon_n and_o say_v that_o he_o bid_v we_o be_v merry_a and_o make_v much_o of_o ourselves_o therefore_o he_o shut_v it_o up_o with_o a_o watchword_n and_o set_v

let_v thy_o hart_n cheer_v thou_o let_v thy_o sin_n grieve_v thou_o for_o he_o mean_v otherwise_o then_o he_o speak_v he_o speak_v like_o michal_n in_o the_o book_n of_o king_n 2._o chap._n go_v up_o

thou_o shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n while_o the_o thief_n steal_v the_o hemp_n grow_v and_o the_o hook_n be_v cover_v within_o the_o bait_n we_o sit_v down_o to_o eat_v and_o rise_v up_o to_o

of_o punishment_n shall_v be_v provide_v for_o thou_o how_o many_o year_n of_o pleasure_n thou_o have_v take_v so_o many_o year_n of_o pain_n how_o many_o dram_n of_o delight_n so_o many_o pound_n of_o dolour_n when_o iniquity_n have_v play_v her_o part_n vengeance_n leap_v upon_o the_o stage_n the_o comedy_n be_v short_a but_o the_o tragedy_n be_v long_o the_o black_a guard_n shall_v attend_v
