which_o god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o she_o and_o in_o give_v good_a counsel_n to_o those_o who_o visit_v she_o i_o have_v hear_v she_o often_o and_o often_o persuade_v her_o friend_n to_o prize_v

will_v frequent_o say_v o_o the_o benefit_n of_o health_n o_o prize_n health_n praise_n god_n for_o health_n and_o improve_v health_n for_o your_o eternal_a good_a 5_o she_o be_v very_o well_o verse_v

he_o do_v not_o say_v go_v and_o tell_v other_o for_o this_o be_v to_o backbite_v thy_o brother_n this_o be_v to_o reproach_v he_o rather_o than_o to_o reprove_v he_o but_o he_o say_v go_v and_o
