all_o creature_n to_o the_o service_n of_o man_n and_o man_n only_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n let_v we_o conclude_v man_n to_o be_v the_o most_o honourable_a creature_n and_o by_o due_a desert_n of_o commendation_n to_o be_v by_o many_o degree_n set_v above_o they_o all_o thus_o have_v i_o show_v you_o my_o opinion_n how_o man_n may_v just_o receive_v his_o title_n of_o dignity_n or_o

may_v make_v he_o the_o worst_a of_o all_o creature_n it_o be_v not_o a_o fair_a paint_a face_n a_o proud_a look_n a_o crafty_a wit_n a_o smooth_a tongue_n nor_o a_o scrape_n or_o a_o bribe_a hand_n that_o make_v a_o man_n a_o worthy_a creature_n but_o a_o humble_a heart_n a_o modest_a eye_n a_o simple_a meaning_n a_o virtuous_a disposition_n a_o true_a tongue_n a_o liberal_a hand_n and_o a_o love_a heart_n that_o make_v man_n true_o honourable_a oh_o then_o let_v the_o prince_n be_v gracious_a the_o courtier_n virtuous_a the_o soldier_n merciful_a the_o lawyer_n conscionable_a th●_n merchant_n charitable_a the_o farmer_n no_o snudge_n the_o labourer_n painful_a and_o the_o beggar_n thankful_a and_o then_o will_v the_o commonwealth_n of_o the_o world_n be_v such_o a_o kind_n of_o heaven_n on_o the_o earth_n that_o the_o very_a angel_n of_o the_o heaven_n will_v commend_v the_o beauty_n of_o the_o world_n when_o thus_o only_o in_o man_n they_o shall_v see_v the_o chief_a
