life_n in_o what_o respect_v it_o be_v necessary_a or_o unfit_a for_o all_o degree_n of_o man_n will_v too_o much_o lengthen_v this_o part_n in_o the_o resolution_n of_o sundry_a question_n which_o i_o now_o do_v purposely_o avoid_v i_o only_o intend_v to_o write_v in_o the_o praise_n or_o discommendation_n of_o it_o so_o far_o as_o it_o have_v relation_n to_o man_n of_o great_a quality_n and_o
