many_o misery_n and_o mischance_n mankind_n be_v subject_a to_o which_o if_o you_o do_v questionless_a you_o will_v make_v less_o joy_n at_o the_o birth_n of_o your_o child_n and_o less_o sorrow_n at_o their_o death_n then_o common_o you_o do_v and_o rather_o seek_v in_o some_o sort_n to_o imitate_v those_o heathen_n which_o do_v sing_v and_o dance_v at_o the_o death_n of_o their_o child_n than_o those_o christian_n which_o do_v mourn_v and_o sorrow_n as_o man_n past_o hope_n as_o for_o the_o love_n which_o ordinary_o man_n bear_v unto_o their_o child_n it_o may_v more_o fit_o be_v call_v love_n to_o themselves_o then_o to_o their_o child_n for_o notwithstanding_o we_o all_o know_v or_o aught_o to_o know_v that_o no_o one_o be_v true_o happy_a till_o his_o end_n if_o he_o die_v well_o yet_o many_o nay_o most_o of_o we_o do_v rather_o desire_v to_o have_v our_o child_n suruine_n we_o then_o to_o see_v they_o fair_o bestow_v before_o us._n never_o think_v respect_v or_o regard_v what_o may_v come_v to_o they_o after_o our_o death_n so_o our_o humour_n be_v feed_v in_o our_o life_n and_o if_o this_o may_v not_o true_o be_v say_v to_o be_v self-love_n i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v self-love_n therefore_o let_v we_o all_o and_o every_o one_o of_o we_o refer_v and_o put_v our_o will_n to_o god_n will_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o all_o thing_n shall_v work_v
