man_n covet_v to_o be_v best_a fain_o will_v we_o surpass_v one_o another_o but_o the_o wrong_n course_n be_v take_v hard_a fair_a great_a journey_n dangerous_a attempt_n mischivous_a counsel_n unmerciful_a force_n mortal_a wound_n be_v under-gone_a and_o under-taken_a and_o all_o to_o be_v best_a that_o be_v forsooth_o to_o be_v rich_a but_o alas_o it_o be_v not_o so_o he_o that_o sin_n lest_o be_v the_o best_a man_n and_o he_o that_o sin_n most_o be_v the_o worst_a oh_o then_o i_o will_v fly_v from_o sin_n and_o i_o will_v account_v myself_o excellent_a when_o from_o sin_n i_o can_v stand_v the_o far_a 66_o when_o learned_a man_n come_v among_o rude_a &_o unskilful_a swain_n they_o many_o time_n have_v not_o ordinary_a courtesy_n from_o they_o yea_o often_o they_o have_v give_v unto_o they_o a_o unkind_a and_o shrewd_a welcome_n i_o marvel_v not_o at_o it_o for_o between_o they_o and_o virtue_n there_o be_v never_o knit_v a_o fast_a friendship_n by_o any_o education_n their_o wit_n be_v so_o base_a they_o can_v conceive_v the_o beauty_n and_o sweetness_n of_o a_o learned_a life_n but_o though_o such_o love_n to_o drink_v on_o the_o draff_n let_v my_o life_n be_v spend_v among_o the_o learned_a breast_n for_o this_o i_o know_v he_o that_o leave_v the_o learned_a to_o live_v with_o the_o ignorant_a may_v happen_v on_o some_o wealth_n but_o he_o shall_v never_o be_v wise_a 67_o who_o so_o have_v get_v virtue_n possess_v a_o lady_n of_o great_a beauty_n and_o such_o a_o beauty_n as_o show_v forth_o the_o beam_n of_o wisdom_n where_o ever_o it_o come_v indeed_o deep_a sorrow_n strange_a wrong_n often_o mighty_o darken_v her_o excellency_n for_o a_o time_n but_o as_o the_o excellent_a and_o swift_a run_a sun_n quick_o break_v out_o and_o kind_o cheer_v the_o short_a and_o sweet_a nibble_v grass_n so_o lady_n virtue_n quick_o adorn_v her_o owner_n and_o well_o array_v he_o with_o most_o pleasant_a grace_n lord_n give_v i_o virtue_n then_o rather_o than_o the_o exquisite_a dainty_n and_o dainty_a variety_n that_o high_a conceit_n can_v fancy_v 68_o i_o hold_v it_o a_o base_a thing_n to_o be_v straiten_v by_o unworthy_a servitude_n a_o man_n can_v not_o then_o go_v to_o behold_v delightful_a prospect_n nor_o step_v aside_o to_o have_v his_o sorrowful_a mind_n support_v he_o can_v walk_v to_o hear_v the_o cheerful_a and_o well_o

when_o satan_n so_o shall_v fetter_v a_o man_n that_o he_o may_v not_o behold_v god_n holy_a temple_n where_o he_o may_v have_v his_o sorrowful_a soul_n solace_v with_o preacher_n breath_n more_o sweet_a than_o south-west_n wind_n that_o he_o can_v hear_v god_n sweet_a wel-tuned_n bird_n nor_o see_v god_n lamb_n desire_v milk_n 69_o death_n strike_v to_o some_o a_o dreadful_a terror_n other_o be_v not_o move_v at_o his_o terrible_a countenance_n but_o by_o their_o hardiness_n despise_v death_n some_z when_o he_o come_v give_v he_o a_o cheerful_a welcome_n the_o first_o be_v base_a and_o servile_a the_o second_o be_v courage_n without_o skill_n the_o three_o be_v true_o valiant_a lord_n give_v i_o a_o resolute_a heart_n that_o when_o i_o shall_v be_v dangerous_o sick_a i_o may_v not_o
