for_o my_o part_n the_o knowledge_n of_o my_o own_o imperfection_n enjoin_v i_o silence_n consider_v how_o far_o i_o be_o short_a of_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v how_o exceed_v in_o that_o which_o be_v not_o require_v of_o i_o i_o have_v resolve_v therefore_o by_o the_o scale_n of_o humility_n to_o ascend_v to_o the_o throne_n of_o glory_n make_v the_o acknowledgement_n of_o my_o defect_n my_o direct_v path_n for_o the_o attain_v of_o perfection_n as_o the_o complete_a folly_n appear_v in_o too_o much_o compliment_n so_o the_o best_a of_o wisdom_n be_v to_o be_v least_o popular_o wise_a where_o opinion_n make_v we_o proud_a while_o privacy_n in_o knowledge_n make_v we_o only_o know_v to_o ourselves_o and_o no_o otherwise_o i_o have_v find_v ofttimes_o the_o excellent_a part_n shroud_v in_o the_o mean_a and_o unhansome_a cover_n which_o i_o can_v instance_n in_o nothing_o better_a than_o in_o the_o divine_a essence_n of_o the_o soul_n cover_v with_o the_o garment_n of_o flesh_n honour_n be_v a_o fair_a bait_n but_o a_o sincere_a disposition_n will_v not_o assume_v it_o before_o she_o deserve_v it_o the_o best_a of_o honour_n be_v to_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o

to_o paul_n plant_v and_o apollo_n water_v but_o their_o dispose_n to_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n i_o have_v resolve_v in_o reflection_n to_o my_o hourglass_n consider_v time_n preciousnes_n with_o his_o swiftness_n to_o vie_v tear_n with_o her_o grain_n of_o sand_n that_o my_o tear_n may_v in_o some_o measure_n wash_v away_o the_o heap_n of_o those_o sin_n which_o be_v multiply_v like_o the_o

have_v wonder_v why_o the_o thracian_a be_v a_o pagan_a shall_v lament_v his_o birth_n like_o a_o christian_a when_o we_o that_o be_v christian_n laugh_v at_o our_o birth_n but_o pule_v at_o our_o
