of_o a_o disease_n nor_o the_o multitude_n of_o attendant_n affright_v from_o we_o the_o terror_n of_o death_n they_o only_o serve_v to_o soften_v and_o effeminate_a our_o heart_n against_o the_o

can_v we_o be_v more_o senseless_a than_o the_o earth_n itself_o or_o more_o unrighteous_a than_o the_o devil_n shall_v we_o therefore_o be_v unmindful_a of_o god_n because_o he_o remember_v we_o sure_o if_o we_o grow_v rich_a we_o will_v not_o behave_v ourselves_o froward_o in_o thy_o sight_n if_o we_o be_v full_a we_o will_v not_o deny_v thou_o and_o say_v who_o be_v the_o lord_n but_o

and_o now_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o it_o be_v true_o a_o argument_n of_o a_o noble_a spirit_n to_o be_v above_o the_o frown_n of_o fortune_n but_o it_o be_v much_o more_o difficult_a and_o
