our_o discontent_n which_o be_v weigh_v in_o the_o balance_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o great_a of_o all_o be_v the_o unthankfulness_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o impatiency_n of_o our_o spirit_n our_o want_n of_o love_n to_o cover_v offence_n and_o our_o too_o much_o envy_n aggravate_v what_o may_v be_v amiss_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o show_v the_o effect_n of_o this_o distraction_n if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o judge_n of_o the_o effect_n in_o the_o cause_n the_o fruit_n of_o this_o mutiny_n will_v have_v prove_v so_o bitter_a that_o have_v i_o many_o tongue_n and_o great_a
