of_o some_o noble_a man_n who_o you_o have_v either_o read_v or_o hear_v who_o do_n have_v be_v worthy_a of_o commendation_n in_o such_o service_n as_o this_o and_o to_o make_v a_o pattern_n and_o

that_o the_o property_n of_o virtue_n be_v to_o continue_v in_o well_o do_v and_o therefore_o to_o hold_v the_o mean_a be_v hard_a as_o certain_o in_o these_o or_o other_o like_a virtue_n you_o

to_o keep_v you_o occupy_v with_o scribble_n i_o will_v follow_v on_o with_o a_o hotchpotch_n of_o sentence_n in_o your_o commission_n i_o think_v many_o thing_n be_v commit_v to_o your_o discretion_n which_o make_v the_o burden_n great_a then_o if_o you_o have_v be_v express_o command_v what_o to_o do_v therefore_o must_v you_o needs_o consider_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o discretion_n which_o as_o
