think_v unfit_a for_o this_o audience_n which_o be_v not_o of_o that_o quality_n to_o be_v entertain_v with_o no_o better_a provision_n than_o what_o come_v next_o to_o hand_n and_o especial_o if_o that_o shall_v prove_v plain_a and_o homely_a as_o this_o be_v to_o do_v our_o own_o business_n and_o as_o it_o follow_v to_o work_v with_o our_o own_o hand_n this_o be_v but_o a_o kind_n of_o

not_o of_o easiness_n or_o neglect_n but_o choice_n because_o i_o find_v it_o not_o only_o in_o conjunction_n and_o company_n with_o the_o excellent_a study_n of_o quiet_a to_o which_o any_o kind_n of_o retainer_n at_o large_a may_v deserve_v respect_n but_o also_o because_o i_o see_v it_o set_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o a_o place_n of_o near_a and_o intimate_a relation_n a_o principle_n and_o foundation_n to_o it_o the_o next_o way_n to_o be_v quiet_a abroad_o be_v to_o be_v busy_a at_o home_n and_o though_o it_o be_v but_o plain_a doctrine_n it_o be_v never_o the_o worse_o for_o that_o
