time_n will_v not_o bear_v it_o it_o be_v a_o very_a troublesome_a thing_n to_o use_v it_o and_o it_o must_v be_v eschew_v or_o measure_v with_o reason_n neither_o be_v the_o self_n same_o ceremony_n

that_o gentleman_n &_o great_a man_n may_v use_v one_o to_o another_o and_o if_o we_o mark_v it_o well_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o great_a the_o best_o man_n &_o man_n of_o most_o valour_n do_v not_o always_o use_v the_o must_v ceremony_n then selue_o nor_o yet_o love_n nor_o look_v a_o man_n shall_v make_v many_o goodly_a curtsy_n unto_o they_o as_o man_n that_o can_v ill_o spend_v their_o

and_o duty_n than_o honour_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o foul_a fault_n in_o a_o servant_n to_o offer_v his_o master_n his_o service_n for_o he_o count_v it_o his_o shame_n &_o he_o think_v the_o
