since_o in_o the_o strength_n thereof_o he_o be_v enable_v to_o undervalue_v both_o his_o enemy_n and_o his_o death_n he_o who_o the_o oracle_n of_o apollo_n pronounce_v the_o wise_a man_n will_v

the_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v divine_a and_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o depart_v the_o body_n there_o be_v a_o most_o expeditious_a return_n of_o every_o just_a and_o virtuous_a soul_n into_o heaven_n vi_o on_o this_o contemplation_n let_v every_o man_n therefore_o resolve_v that_o although_o virtue_n may_v in_o some_o case_n appear_v to_o be_v against_o our_o interest_n in_o reference_n

and_o gratification_n to_o the_o just_a nay_o let_v we_o rather_o count_v that_o what_o we_o suffer_v in_o external_o as_o suppose_v in_o fortune_n or_o in_o health_n be_v rather_o to_o our_o
