use_v it_o only_o as_o play_v and_o keep_v a_o moderation_n in_o that_o we_o play_v for_o and_o the_o time_n we_o spend_v in_o it_o it_o be_v a_o converse_n to_o pass_v away_o our_o idle_a time_n without_o prejudice_n or_o hurt_v to_o any_o especial_o for_o those_o that_o have_v no_o office_n nor_o charge_n to_o employ_v themselves_o in_o but_o be_v idle_a and_o want_v business_n and_o have_v not_o to_o do_v but_o to_o fancy_n chimera_n in_o their_o brain_n those_o that_o play_v for_o pastime_n must_v play_v for_o little_a and_o that_o with_o their_o friend_n and_o acquaintance_n and_o at_o such_o game_n as_o be_v fit_a for_o civil_a people_n but_o have_v no_o skill_n in_o play_n thou_o ought_v not_o to_o bet_v though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o little_a nor_o to_o play_v with_o those_o that_o be_v choleric_a and_o ill_o condition_v but_o with_o those_o thou_o may_v be_v merry_a and_o pleasant_a withal_o for_o there_o be_v some_o that_o be_v so_o quick_a that_o they_o grow_v
