come_v in_o and_o help_v he_o and_o save_v he_o and_o so_o by_o a_o rare_a virtue_n he_o make_v his_o worst_a adversary_n the_o captive_n of_o his_o generosity_n one_o of_o the_o ancient_n upon_o

believe_v that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shed_v his_o precious_a blood_n for_o i_o by_o his_o death_n procure_v my_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o what_o shall_v i_o now_o be_v afraid_a of_o die_v for_o but_o this_o lead_v i_o to_o mention_v the_o humble_a and_o modest_a carriage_n in_o he_o towards_o other_o man_n which_o accompany_v this_o his_o piety_n there_o be_v certain_a pomp_n belong_v unto_o the_o several_a place_n of_o honour_n through_o which_o he_o pass_v pomp_n that_o be_v very_o take_v to_o man_n of_o little_a soul_n but_o although_o he_o rise_v from_o so_o little_a yet_o he_o discover_v a_o marvellous_a contempt_n of_o those_o airy_a thing_n and_o as_o far_o as_o he_o handsome_o can_v he_o decline_v be_v ceremonious_o or_o any_o otherwise_o than_o with_o a_o dutch_a modesty_n wait_v upon_o and_o it_o may_v more_o true_o be_v say_v of_o he_o than_o it_o be_v of_o aristides_n he_o be_v never_o see_v the_o proud_a for_o any_o honour_n that_o be_v do_v he_o from_o his_o countryman_n hence_o albeit_o i_o have_v read_v that_o complaint_n make_v by_o a_o worthy_a man_n i_o have_v often_o observe_v and_o this_o not_o without_o some_o blush_v that_o even_o good_a people_n have_v have_v a_o kind_n of_o shame_n upon_o they_o to_o acknowledge_v their_o low_a beginning_n and_o use_v all_o art_n to_o hide_v it_o i_o can_v never_o observe_v the_o least_o of_o that_o
