yet_o i_o will_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o your_o plantation_n be_v in_o a_o most_o unthrive_a condition_n that_o like_a man_n in_o a_o fever_n tumble_v from_o one_o side_n of_o the_o bed_n to_o the_o other_o you_o have_v shift_v your_o dwelling_n but_o not_o recover_v your_o health_n nor_o be_v one_o inch_n the_o near_a your_o propose_a happiness_n in_o america_n than_o in_o europe_n and_o have_v travel_v some_o thousand_o of_o mile_n to_o as_o little_a purpose_n as_o the_o jesuit_n into_o japan_n and_o china_n or_o foolish_a pilgrim_n in_o their_o tedious_a vain_a journey_n to_o compostella_n loretto_n or_o jerusalem_n our_o business_n therefore_o here_o in_o this_o new_a land_n be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o build_v house_n and_o establish_v factory_n and_o promote_v trade_n and_o manufactory_n that_o may_v enrich_v ourselves_o though_o all_o these_o thing_n in_o their_o due_a place_n be_v not_o to_o be_v neglect_v as_o to_o erect_v temple_n of_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n which_o god_n may_v delight_v in_o to_o lay_v such_o last_a frames_n and_o foundation_n of_o temperance_n and_o virtue_n as_o may_v support_v the_o superstructure_n of_o our_o future_a

that_o be_v superior_n among_o we_o to_o make_v law_n and_o imitate_v custom_n that_o may_v tend_v to_o innocency_n and_o a_o harmless_a life_n so_o as_o to_o avoid_v and_o prevent_v all_o oppression_n and_o violence_n either_o to_o man_n or_o beast_n by_o which_o we_o shall_v strengthen_v the_o principle_n of_o welldoing_a and_o qualify_v the_o fierce_a bitter_a envious_a wrathful_a
