think_v upon_o now_o i_o say_v if_o these_o perturbation_n and_o casualty_n be_v incident_a to_o the_o best_a and_o most_o solid_a time_n of_o our_o humane_a condition_n when_o as_o our_o body_n and_o understanding_n be_v most_o in_o vigour_n to_o enjoy_v earthly_a felicity_n and_o content_a what_o may_v we_o think_v of_o our_o decay_a and_o criped_a age_n when_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v our_o tooth_n daily_o to_o drop_v one_o by_o one_o from_o our_o hollow_a jaw_n and_o dry_a gum_n until_o at_o last_o we_o have_v none_o at_o all_o left_a for_o our_o necessary_a use_n and_o commodity_n our_o eye_n in_o like_a manner_n by_o degree_n to_o grow_v dim_a have_v only_o their_o faculty_n preserve_v a_o while_n by_o spectacle_n and_o other_o mean_n until_o at_o the_o length_n we_o become_v stark_o blind_a leave_v we_o in_o a_o posture_n uncomfortable_a since_o we_o be_v sure_o never_o more_o to_o behold_v the_o glorious_a sun_n or_o the_o cheerful_a day_n light_n and_o for_o our_o leg_n they_o will_v appear_v rather_o like_o small_a stalk_n of_o wither_a plant_n then_o convenient_a or_o substantial_a supporter_n of_o our_o weak_a body_n which_o must_v necessary_o be_v assist_v by_o crutch_n or_o some_o other_o artifice_n to_o help_v we_o in_o our_o motion_n from_o place_n to_o place_n whereby_o the_o best_a to_o give_v we_o a_o little_a ease_n and_o recreation_n whilst_o we_o be_v able_a in_o any_o sort_n to_o crawl_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o however_o this_o help_n may_v serve_v for_o a_o while_n to_o supply_v the_o defect_n of_o decay_a nature_n yet_o in_o the_o end_n our_o bed_n or_o some_o solitary_a couch_n be_v overburthen_v with_o catarrh_n and_o rheum_n must_v be_v the_o only_a receptacle_n of_o our_o age_n and_o infirmity_n where_o perhaps_o we_o shall_v converse_v with_o nothing_o but_o excessive_a pain_n and_o melancholy_a thought_n as_o a_o near_a preparation_n for_o our_o grave_n to_o which_o station_n it_o may_v be_v doubt_v scarce_o a_o tear_n shall_v accompany_v we_o from_o the_o eye_n of_o any_o of_o our_o friend_n imagine_v we_o have_v have_v a_o sufficient_a time_n of_o be_v in_o the_o world_n whereupon_o i_o must_v here_o remember_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o indian_n who_o use_v to_o put_v to_o death_n such_o people_n among_o they_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o extraordinary_a age_n be_v think_v past_o action_n and_o employment_n which_o testify_v that_o even_a barbarian_n themselves_o apprehend_v nothing_o but_o unhappiness_n in_o our_o last_o continuance_n now_o i_o say_v if_o this_o condition_n appertain_v to_o those_o that_o have_v be_v the_o great_a darling_n of_o fortune_n and_o prosperity_n in_o this_o world_n what_o may_v we_o judge_v of_o such_o that_o during_o their_o life_n have_v have_v nothing_o but_o troublesome_a passage_n concern_v their_o affair_n in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o their_o time_n as_o it_o be_v still_o converse_v either_o with_o want_n imprisonment_n disease_n or_o some_o other_o apparent_a affliction_n of_o this_o life_n alas_o if_o we_o consider_v but_o the_o poor_a husbandman_n that_o do_v not_o only_o continual_o toil_v for_o a_o contemptible_a subsistence_n in_o heat_n and_o cold_a in_o wet_a and_o dry_a but_o be_v oftentimes_o in_o danger_n to_o be_v plunder_v of_o all_o he_o have_v and_o not_o seldom_o lose_v his_o own_o life_n in_o defence_n of_o his_o small_a family_n by_o the_o violent_a oppression_n of_o merciless_a soldier_n we_o may_v imagine_v his_o trouble_n and_o vexation_n give_v he_o no_o great_a cause_n of_o felicity_n in_o what_o a_o miserable_a and_o horrid_a condition_n be_v a_o galleyslave_n however_o he_o be_v endue_v with_o the_o same_o nobility_n of_o soul_n as_o the_o great_a and_o mighty_a prince_n upon_o earth_n certain_o the_o beggar_n that_o go_v from_o door_n to_o door_n spin_v out_o a_o life_n in_o outward_a appearance_n of_o sufficient_a misery_n and_o vexation_n notwithstanding_o they_o neither_o hope_v nor_o expect_v any_o other_o and_o true_o however_o some_o few_o person_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v in_o a_o more_o prosperous_a condition_n yet_o consider_v the_o uncertainty_n of_o what_o they_o possess_v and_o the_o impossibility_n of_o continuance_n without_o change_n and_o alteration_n they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v esteem_v very_o far_o from_o they_o in_o unhappiness_n for_o although_o perchance_o we_o may_v look_v with_o eye_n of_o envy_n upon_o many_o glorious_a potentate_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o if_o their_o thought_n perhaps_o be_v true_o examine_v we_o shall_v find_v multitude_n of_o vexation_n depend_v upon_o their_o condition_n to_o the_o destroy_n of_o all_o certain_a content_n for_o what_o prince_n be_v there_o ever_o yet_o that_o command_v so_o entire_o prosperity_n that_o have_v not_o often_o be_v trouble_v with_o natural_a infirmity_n as_o the_o stone_n gout_n and_o the_o like_a to_o free_v himself_o from_o which_o pain_n perhaps_o he_o will_v willing_o have_v part_v with_o much_o of_o his_o dominion_n if_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a to_o have_v procure_v such_o a_o redemption_n at_o any_o price_n how_o many_o people_n again_o be_v bear_v blind_a dumb_a and_o deaf_a with_o other_o notorious_a imperfection_n of_o nature_n that_o render_v they_o contemptible_a in_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o be_v as_o greedy_a after_o the_o appetite_n of_o live_v long_o as_o those_o which_o enjoy_v most_o felicity_n which_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o real_a fruition_n of_o any_o earthly_a delight_n that_o give_v we_o occasion_n to_o value_v our_o be_v here_o but_o mere_o a_o senseless_a stupidity_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n that_o make_v we_o covet_v we_o know_v not_o what_o without_o the_o soul_n consideration_n withal_o if_o we_o but_o look_v at_o the_o chance_n accident_n and_o misfortune_n of_o many_o glorious_a monarch_n we_o shall_v have_v cause_n little_a enough_o to_o depend_v upon_o the_o certain_a happiness_n of_o any_o condition_n whatsoever_o as_o for_o example_n the_o emperor_n morisius_fw-la be_v in_o possession_n of_o as_o much_o prosperity_n as_o can_v be_v devise_v of_o a_o sudden_a in_o his_o
