of_o a_o a_o true_a regard_n and_o consideration_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n some_o rather_o give_v way_n to_o gratify_v a_o vain_a mind_n which_o be_v ready_a and_o apt_a to_o be_v take_v with_o

you_o who_o be_v the_o young_a generation_n for_o that_o end_n that_o you_o may_v all_o have_v a_o true_a regard_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o your_o tender_a parent_n who_o tender_a love_n and_o

of_o you_o who_o may_v be_v a_o succeed_a generation_n of_o the_o faithful_a many_o of_o which_o be_v gather_v to_o their_o everlasting_a rest_n and_o hope_v well_o for_o many_o we_o can_v but_o
