the_o discourse_n itself_o i_o know_v in_o write_v a_o play_n to_o have_v rank_v the_o plot_n in_o the_o front_n of_o it_o and_o to_o make_v the_o whole_a design_n of_o the_o prologue_n to_o be_v the_o key_n to_o uncipher_v the_o plot_n of_o the_o play_n though_o ancient_o in_o use_n have_v be_v now_o not_o only_o out_o of_o fashion_n but_o beside_o reason_n for_o the_o design_n of_o play_n aim_v chief_o to_o please_v the_o sense_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v compound_v and_o mix_v with_o hope_n and_o fear_n certainty_n and_o uncertainty_n expectation_n and_o delay_n of_o the_o event_n of_o the_o plot_n which_o be_v all_o so_o interweave_v together_o create_v the_o agreeableness_n of_o the_o play_n for_o when_o once_o the_o whole_a plot_n be_v discover_v the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o play_n be_v end_v like_o hare-hunting_a the_o sport_n lie_v not_o in_o present_o take_v the_o hare_n but_o in_o follow_v he_o in_o all_o his_o ring_n and_o double_v and_o those_o that_o love_v play_n and_o such_o hunt_n resemble_v jealous_a man_n who_o eager_o pursue_v what_o they_o apprehend_v to_o overtake_v or_o as_o old_a age_n which_o we_o all_o pray_v to_o attain_v but_o fear_v to_o approach_v but_o now_o i_o come_v to_o soar_v my_o discourse_n to_o a_o much_o high_a pitch_n and_o a_o more_o elevate_v subject_a and_o to_o treat_v of_o the_o most_o noble_a part_n of_o man_n the_o soul_n and_o of_o true_a religion_n the_o only_a way_n to_o heavenly_a felicity_n for_o without_o holiness_n no_o man_n shall_v see_v the_o lord_n we_o must_v therefore_o now_o madam_n change_v the_o scene_n of_o sense_n for_o a_o spiritual_a one_o and_o climb_v where_o earthly_a nature_n can_v never_o follow_v we_o to_o the_o pure_a and_o high_a region_n of_o heaven_n which_o will_v inform_v we_o that_o the_o early_o discover_v our_o plot_n of_o attain_v heaven_n will_v but_o better_v the_o play_n and_o the_o more_o speed_n the_o better_a success_n for_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n be_v everlasting_a and_o admit_v of_o no_o increase_n or_o diminution_n not_o like_o the_o divertisement_n of_o stage-plays_a or_o hunt_v or_o any_o earthly_a delight_n which_o can_v last_v but_o for_o a_o season_n and_o decay_v in_o our_o very_a enjoy_v they_o and_o must_v soon_o leave_v we_o or_o we_o they_o but_o heavenly_a thought_n the_o more_o and_o long_o we_o practise_v they_o the_o better_a we_o shall_v like_v they_o heavenly_a joy_n so_o far_o exceed_v all_o we_o can_v here_o leave_v as_o they_o be_v all_o we_o can_v ever_o aspire_v to_o have_v this_o we_o all_o know_v but_o few_o of_o we_o practice_n and_o we_o all_o love_n god_n but_o few_o love_n to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n i_o shall_v therefore_o now_o madam_n tell_v you_o as_o the_o prologue_n to_o my_o ensue_a discourse_n
