thou_o be_v to_o illuminate_v and_o lighten_v the_o dark_a member_n of_o the_o same_o yea_o who_o sun_n thou_o be_v which_o keep_v thy_o diurnal_a course_n through_o england_n element_n do_v dart_v

of_o we_o wink_v and_o that_o sun_n of_o we_o set_v how_o can_v that_o body_n of_o we_o choose_v but_o perish_v what_o rest_v then_o but_o that_o each_o several_a member_n according_a to_o his_o place_n lament_v the_o head_n distemperature_n endeavour_v and_o labour_v by_o all_o possible_a mean_n for_o some_o precious_a balm_n to_o cure_v that_o same_o deadly_a headache_n that_o balm_n must_v be_v the_o mercy_n and_o compassion_n of_o the_o high_a which_o be_v to_o be_v obtain_v only_o by_o prayer_n with_o a_o hearty_a repentance_n of_o our_o wicked_a sin_n know_v we_o the_o mean_n yet_o will_v not_o seek_v redress_n know_v we_o a_o salve_n yet_o suffer_v the_o sore_a to_o rankle_v no_o marvel_n then_o if_o the_o pace_n of_o death_n lie_v so_o heavy_a upon_o us._n why_o shall_v

a_o thousand_o wound_n weep_v therefore_o o_o thou_o countryman_n weep_v not_o only_o with_o we_o but_o for_o we_o i_o mean_v for_o woeful_a london_n thy_o head_n who_o be_v now_o visit_v for_o sin_n let_v not_o her_o affliction_n be_v thy_o security_n let_v not_o her_o plague_n flatter_v thou_o and_o make_v thou_o think_v that_o thou_o be_v free_a from_o sin_n because_o thy_o visitation_n be_v

wherefore_o with_o london_n do_v thou_o join_v in_o hearty_a prayer_n that_o the_o lord_n in_o mercy_n will_v look_n down_o upon_o we_o that_o not_o only_o the_o remainder_n of_o the_o city_n but_o

be_v as_o impossible_a as_o to_o number_v calais_n sand_n as_o the_o proverb_n go_v the_o lamentation_n be_v so_o general_a and_o that_o not_o only_o among_o the_o swain_n but_o the_o whole_a country_n and_o especial_o among_o clothier_n and_o their_o poor_a serviceable_a people_n for_o since_o the_o memory_n of_o man_n almost_o there_o have_v not_o be_v know_v she_o like_v he_o that_o be_v wont_n to_o employ_v many_o hundred_o in_o his_o work_n can_v now_o help_v twenty_o poor_a insomuch_o that_o it_o procure_v such_o emulation_n and_o malice_n betwixt_o they_o that_o be_v

knee_n some_o with_o wring_v hand_n some_o cry_n with_o infant_n in_o their_o arm_n but_o all_o of_o they_o with_o such_o pitiful_a lamentation_n that_o it_o pity_v the_o amaze_a clothier_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o be_v weary_a of_o life_n at_o length_n think_v to_o give_v they_o reasonable_a satisfaction_n he_o plead_v that_o the_o want_n of_o sale_n for_o cloth_n at_o london_n be_v the_o cause_n he_o have_v so_o little_a employment_n but_o alas_o this_o will_v not_o satisfy_v the_o poor_a multitude_n so_o great_a be_v their_o distress_n and_o such_o a_o unanswerable_a argument_n be_v importunate_a necessity_n and_o thus_o i_o may_v tell_v you_o never_o be_v cloth_n better_a cheap_a among_o clothier_n yet_o seldom_o have_v wool_n be_v know_v more_o dear_a unto_o they_o and_o of_o money_n i_o dare_v say_v that_o most_o of_o they_o never_o know_v the_o like_a want_n though_o they_o have_v money_n forth_o to_o great_a value_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o say_v they_o be_v only_a london_n visitation_n if_o then_o the_o mitigation_n of_o the_o pestilent_a affliction_n lay_v upon_o that_o city_n will_v relieve_v the_o want_n of_o many_o thousand_o poor_a soul_n as_o it_o
