sometime_o i_o ride_v to_o some_o of_o the_o neighbour-city_n that_o i_o may_v enjoy_v the_o right_n &_o communication_n of_o my_o friend_n as_o also_o of_o excellent_a artificer_n in_o architecture_n paint_v stonecut_a music_n and_o husbandry_n whereof_o in_o this_o age_n there_o be_v great_a plenty_n i_o view_v their_o piece_n i_o compare_v they_o with_o those_o of_o antiquity_n and_o ever_o i_o

that_o may_v either_o teach_v or_o delight_v i_o i_o be_o much_o please_v also_o in_o my_o travel_n with_o the_o beauty_n of_o situation_n neither_o be_v this_o my_o pleasure_n make_v less_o by_o the_o decay_a dulness_n of_o my_o sense_n which_o be_v all_o in_o their_o perfect_a vigour_n but_o especial_o my_o taste_n so_o that_o any_o simple_a fare_n be_v more_o savoury_a to_o i_o now_o then_o

country_n to_o constivation_n and_o good_a husbandry_n i_o be_v one_o of_o those_o that_o be_v 〈◊〉_d for_o the_o manage_n of_o that_o work_n and_o abode_n in_o those_o fenny_a place_n two_o whole_a

that_o temperance_n which_o ever_o accompany_v i_o these_o be_v the_o delight_n and_o solace_n of_o my_o old_a age_n which_o be_v altogether_o to_o be_v prefer_v before_o other_o youth_n because_o that_o by_o temperance_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o feel_v not_o those_o perturbation_n of_o body_n and_o mind_n wherewith_o infinite_a both_o young_a and_o old_a be_v afflict_v moreover_o by_o this_o also_o in_o what_o estate_n i_o be_o may_v be_v discover_v because_o at_o these_o year_n viz_o 83_o i_o have_v make_v a_o most_o pleasant_a comedy_n full_a of_o honest_a wit_n and_o

be_v account_v less_o happy_a or_o less_o myself_o who_o be_v ten_o year_n old_a have_v make_v a_o comedy_n now_o lest_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o delight_n want_v to_o my_o old_a age_n i_o daily_o behold_v a_o kind_n of_o immortality_n in_o the_o succession_n of_o my_o posterity_n for_o when_o i_o come_v home_o i_o find_v eleven_o grandchild_n of_o i_o all_o the_o son_n of_o one_o father_n and_o mother_n all_o in_o perfect_a health_n all_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v conjecture_v very_o apt_a and_o well_o give_v both_o for_o learning_n and_o behaviour_n i_o be_o delight_v with_o their_o music_n and_o fashion_n and_o i_o myself_o also_o sing_v often_o because_o i_o have_v now_o a_o clear_a voice_n than_o ever_o i_o have_v in_o my_o life_n by_o which_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o life_n which_o i_o live_v at_o this_o age_n be_v not_o a_o dead_a dumpish_a and_o sour_a life_n but_o cheerful_a lively_a and_o pleasant_a neither_o if_o i_o have_v my_o wish_n will_v i_o change_v age_n and_o constitution_n with_o they_o who_o follow_v their_o youthful_a appetite_n although_o they_o be_v of_o a_o most_o strong_a temper_n because_o such_o be_v daily_o expose_v to_o a_o thousand_o danger_n and_o death_n as_o daily_a experience_n show_v and_o i_o also_o whe●_n i_o be_v a_o young_a man_n too_o well_o find_v i_o know_v how_o inconsiderate_a that_o age_n be_v and_o though_o subject_a to_o death_n yet_o continual_o afraid_a of_o it_o for_o death_n to_o all_o young_a man_n be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n as_o also_o to_o those_o that_o live_v in_o sin_n and_o follow_v their_o appetite_n whereas_o i_o by_o the_o experience_n of_o so_o many_o year_n have_v learned_a to_o give_v way_n to_o reason_n whence_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o not_o only_o a_o shameful_a thing_n to_o fear_v that_o which_o can_v be_v avoid_v but_o also_o i_o hope_v when_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o that_o point_n i_o shall_v find_v no_o little_a comfort_n in_o the_o favour_n of_o jesus_n christ._n yet_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o my_o end_n be_v far_o from_o i_o for_o i_o know_v that_o set_v casualty_n aside_o i_o shall_v not_o die_v but_o by_o a_o pure_a resolution_n because_o that_o by_o the_o regularitie_n of_o my_o life_n i_o have_v shut_v out_o death_n all_o other_o way_n and_o that_o be_v a_o fair_a and_o desirable_a death_n which_o nature_n bring_v by_o way_n of_o resolution_n since_o therefore_o a_o temperate_a life_n be_v so_o happy_a and_o pleasant_a a_o thing_n what_o remain_v but_o that_o i_o shall_v wish_v all_o who_o have_v the_o care_n of_o themselves_o to_o embrace_v it_o with_o open_a arm_n many_o thing_n more_o may_v be_v say_v in_o commendation_n hereof_o but_o lest_o in_o any_o thing_n i_o forsake_v that_o temperance_n which_o i_o have_v find_v so_o good_a i_o here_o make_v a_o end_n a_o discourse_n translate_v out_o of_o italian_a that_o a_o spare_v diet_n be_v better_a than_o a_o splendid_a and_o sumptuous_a a_o paradox_n ivery_o believe_v however_o i_o
