i_o can_v not_o tell_v but_o this_o i_o see_v there_o die_v so_o many_o young_a y_fw-fr ●_o there_o remain_v but_o a_o few_o old_a soul_n now_o thou_o tell_v a_o pretty_a thing_n must_v not_o all_o

of_o themselves_o than_o of_o age_n just_a how_o so_o soul_n if_o thou_o consider_v well_o the_o life_n of_o such_o as_o now_o be_v or_o have_v be_v in_o that_o age_n thou_o shall_v know_v it_o of_o

that_o cause_v these_o accident_n or_o else_o in_o their_o youth_n have_v make_v so_o many_o disorder_n y_z t_z they_o have_v get_v these_o evyls_n which_o show_v themselves_o in_o age_n when_o they_o be_v more_o weak_a of_o nature_n but_o a_o old_a man_n that_o consider_v well_o his_o virtue_n how_o much_o and_o what_o it_o be_v and_o live_v orderly_o thereunto_o eat_v and_o drynk_n only_o so_o much_o as_o may_v restore_v his_o strength_n and_o not_o oppress_v he_o will_v live_v much_o more_o hole_n than_o a_o young_a man_n and_o thou_o know_v i_o have_v many_o time_n teach_v thou_o what_o

there_o be_v enough_o of_o other_o that_o be_v take_v from_o she_o that_o she_o may_v well_o be_v blame_v and_o without_o respect_n soul_n rather_o ought_v she_o to_o be_v praise_v most_o for_o if_o thou_o consider_v well_o she_o deprive_v only_o those_o that_o be_v reprovable_a in_o other_o age_n just_a that_o will_v not_o i_o grant_v for_o a_o man_n that_o can_v have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o the_o world_n be_v as_o though_o he_o be_v not_o soul_n true_a but_o what_o understand_v thou_o by_o pleasure_n just_a those_o delight_n which_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n bring_v with_o they_o know_v thou_o not_o that_o thou_o be_v like_o one_o bear_v yesterday_o &_o yet_o there_o be_v many_o year_n since_o we_o first_o meet_v together_o soul_n if_o thou_o understand_v of_o those_o

we_o have_v by_o fast_v or_o labour_n or_o waste_v ourselves_o with_o study_n as_o some_o fool_n do_v soul_n thou_o be_v much_o deceive_v rather_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o that_o nature_n have_v not_o

than_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n of_o the_o body_n just_a thou_o say_v so_o perhaps_o because_o the_o least_o part_n be_v thou_o soul_n rather_o because_o the_o truth_n be_v so_o whereof_o come_v for_o the_o most_o part_n treason_n of_o the_o country_n ruin_n of_o city_n enimity_n of_o man_n &_o other_o wickedness_n murder_n ravine_n of_o richesse_n and_o adultery_n but_o of_o volupt_a and_o

it_o fear_v not_o they_o as_o thou_o do_v say_v soul_n there_o be_v no_o such_o enemy_n as_o pleasure_n which_o of_o good_a reason_n be_v call_v of_o wise_a man_n the_o bait_n of_o all_o evil_a for_o

beast_n which_o lack_v reason_n think_v thou_o then_o that_o age_n be_v to_o be_v blame_v when_o she_o defend_v we_o from_o great_a enemy_n ▪_o take_v from_o they_o that_o force_n wherewith_o they_o

acceptable_a to_o old_a age_n than_o to_o the_o other_o age_n just_a what_o be_v the_o cause_n soul_n because_o there_o be_v in_o old_a man_n more_o moderate_a appetite_n they_o fall_v not_o into_o

because_o a_o man_n may_v just_o hate_v the_o evil_a thing_n but_o he_o can_v not_o with_o reason_n ever_o envy_v the_o good_a but_o when_o they_o have_v it_o that_o do_v not_o deserve_v it_o but_o that_o be_v no_o envy_n this_o judgement_n must_v be_v leave_v to_o god_n that_o can_v not_o err_v &_o therefore_o many_o shall_v confess_v they_o have_v some_o in_o hate_n show_v that_o he_o
