without_o thy_o hire_n will_v cost_v thou_o trouble_v asmuch_o as_o they_o that_o know_v their_o fare_n if_o thou_o trust_v any_o servant_n with_o thy_o purse_n be_v sure_a thou_o take_v his_o

for_o it_o transform_v a_o man_n into_o a_o beast_n because_o heat_n poison_v the_o breath_n decay_v natural_a heat_n bring_v a_o man_n stomach_n into_o a_o artificial_a heat_n deform_v the_o face_n

for_o it_o be_v a_o bewitch_a and_o infectious_a vice_n and_o remember_v my_o word_n that_o it_o be_v better_o for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o any_o vice_n then_o to_o it_o for_o all_o other_o vanity_n and_o sin_n be_v recover_v but_o a_o drunkard_n will_v never_o shake_v off_o the_o delight_n of_o beastliness_n for_o the_o long_o it_o possess_v a_o man_n the_o more_o he_o will_v delight_v in_o it_o and_o the_o elder_a he_o grow_v the_o more_o he_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o it_o for_o it_o dull_v the_o spirit_n and_o destroy_v the_o body_n as_o ivy_n do_v the_o old_a tree_n or_o as_o the_o worm_n that_o engender_v in_o the_o cornell_n of_o the_o nut_n take_v heed_n therefore_o that_o such_o a_o cureless_a canker_n possess_v not_o thy_o youth_n nor_o such_o a_o beastly_a infection_n thy_o old_a age_n for_o thou_o shall_v all_o thy_o life_n time_n live_v but_o the_o life_n of_o a_o beast_n and_o after_o death_n thou_o shall_v short_o prove_v a_o shameful_a infamy_n

until_o thou_o find_v that_o time_n have_v decay_v thy_o natural_a heat_n and_o assoon_o as_o thou_o begin_v to_o help_v nature_n the_o soon_o she_o will_v forsake_v thou_o and_o trust_v not_o only_o
