a_o infinitude_n of_o be_v which_o they_o have_v not_o so_o that_o be_v infinite_o near_o to_o nothingness_n than_o to_o fullness_n of_o be_v they_o rather_o deserve_v to_o be_v call_v nothing_o

if_o we_o consider_v the_o frame_n and_o composition_n of_o it_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o continual_a flux_n and_o defluence_n of_o part_n insomuch_o that_o each_o climacterick_n of_o our_o age_n change_v our_o whole_a fabric_n and_o we_o be_v at_o no_o one_o time_n all_o ourselves_o but_o seven_o year_n hence_o shall_v be_v another_o thing_n this_o body_n will_v be_v all_o vanish_v and_o go_v

existence_n that_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o another_o world_n it_o be_v scarce_o worth_a the_o while_n for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v and_o can_v we_o but_o have_v understand_v before_o we_o come_v into_o be_v what_o a_o uncomfortable_a stage_n this_o world_n be_v i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v we_o shall_v rather_o have_v choose_v to_o remain_v for_o ever_o in_o the_o womb_n of_o nothing_o than_o venture_n into_o the_o theatre_n of_o being_n only_o to_o take_v a_o turn_n or_o two_o and_o weep_v and_o groan_v and_o die_v for_o what_o a_o impertinent_a thing_n will_v it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o come_v out_o of_o nothing_o into_o be_v only_o to_o open_v his_o eye_n and_o look_v about_o he_o and_o vanish_v into_o nothing_o again_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v all_o that_o most_o of_o those_o

for_o what_o wise_a man_n will_v hunt_v after_o a_o dream_n and_o a_o shadow_n which_o he_o believe_v have_v no_o be_v or_o existence_n who_o be_v ever_o so_o mad_a as_o to_o make_v a_o voyage_n for_o
