a_o prudent_a mind_n which_o they_o who_o want_v or_o foolish_o misprise_v walk_v on_o in_o folly_n and_o in_o error_n blind_a we_o many_o ignorant_a vain_a fool_n do_v find_v so_o wise_a in_o their_o

prudence_n and_o folly_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n like_o health_n and_o sickness_n in_o his_o body_n be_v as_o health_n the_o body_n keep_v so_o prudence_n can_v the_o soul_n deliver_v from_o
