r._n a_o melancholy_a discontentive_a letter_n upon_o a_o frown_n of_o a_o kinsman_n cousin_n upon_o your_o last_o look_n i_o look_v a_o little_a into_o myself_o where_o i_o find_v it_o too_o true_a that_o he_o that_o be_v curse_v in_o the_o cradle_n can_v hardly_o be_v bless_v in_o the_o swaddle_n and_o yet_o god_n be_v too_o strong_a for_o the_o devil_n while_o fortune_n be_v but_o the_o

straight_o because_o he_o see_v on_o either_o side_n and_o the_o wild_a goose_n race_n make_v more_o haste_n then_o good_a speed_n i_o know_v there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o run_v and_o

he_o that_o can_v be_v himself_o must_v be_v subject_a to_o other_o censure_n and_o therefore_o to_o conclude_v with_o my_o cross_n this_o shall_v be_v only_o my_o comfort_n that_o he_o that_o be_v

must_v let_v they_o take_v their_o flight_n but_o yet_o rather_o hear_v they_o in_o the_o wood_n than_o feed_v they_o in_o cage_n yet_o will_v i_o not_o shut_v they_o out_o at_o my_o window_n nor_o hurt_v they_o if_o they_o come_v in_o my_o house_n but_o regard_v they_o in_o their_o nature_n and_o so_o hope_v that_o you_o understand_v the_o figure_n in_o the_o honour_n of_o your_o best_a

yet_o will_v i_o not_o wish_v he_o from_o heaven_n for_o there_o be_v no_o jewel_n so_o safe_o keep_v as_o that_o which_o be_v ●aid_v up_o in_o the_o lord_n treasury_n i_o have_v read_v it_o that_o
