i_o see_v those_o pleasure_n be_v ofttimes_o occasion_n to_o make_v they_o loiter_v in_o their_o errand_n so_o that_o they_o be_v sure_a to_o have_v their_o parent_n displeasure_n and_o ofttimes_o

make_v they_o welcome_v with_o commendation_n nature_n have_v send_v i_o abroad_o into_o the_o world_n and_o i_o be_o every_o day_n travel_v homeward_o if_o i_o meet_v with_o store_n of_o misery_n in_o my_o way_n discretion_n shall_v teach_v i_o a_o religious_a haste_n in_o my_o journey_n and_o if_o i_o meet_v with_o pleasure_n they_o shall_v pleasure_v i_o only_o by_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o my_o pleasure_n at_o home_n which_o shall_v teach_v i_o to_o scorn_v these_o as_o worse_a than_o trifle_n i_o will_v never_o more_o reckon_v a_o troublesome_a life_n a_o curse_n but_o a_o blessing_n a_o pleasant_a journey_n be_v dear_a buy_v with_o the_o loss_n of_o home_n when_o i_o see_v the_o fisher_n bait_v his_o hook_n i_o think_v on_o satan_n subtle_a malice_n who_o sugar_n over_o his_o poison_a hook_n with_o seem_v pleasure_n thus_o eve_n apple_n be_v candy_v with_o divine_a knowledge_n you_o shall_v be_v as_o god_n know_v good_a and_o evil_a when_o i_o see_v the_o fish_n fast_o hang_v i_o think_v upon_o the_o covetous_a worldling_n who_o leap_v at_o the_o profit_n without_o consider_v the_o danger_n thus_o achan_n take_v the_o gold_n and_o the_o garment_n and_o never_o consider_v that_o his_o life_n must_v answer_v it_o if_o satan_n be_v such_o a_o fisher_n of_o man_n its_o good_a to_o look_v before_o we_o leap_v honey_n may_v be_v eat_v so_o that_o we_o take_v heed_n of_o the_o sting_n i_o will_v honest_o enjoy_v my_o delight_n but_o not_o buy_v they_o with_o danger_n i_o see_v when_o i_o have_v but_o a_o short_a journey_n to_o travel_v i_o be_o quick_o at_o home_n soon_o out_o of_o the_o pain_n of_o my_o travel_n soon_o into_o the_o possession_n of_o my_o rest_n if_o my_o life_n be_v but_o my_o walk_n and_o heaven_n my_o home_n why_o shall_v i_o desire_v a_o long_a journey_n indeed_o know_v my_o home_n so_o pleasant_a i_o will_v not_o be_v weary_a with_o a_o long_a walk_n but_o yet_o the_o short_a my_o journey_n the_o soon_o my_o rest_n i_o can_v see_v two_o sawyer_n work_v at_o the_o pit_n but_o they_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o pharisee_n and_o the_o publican_n the_o one_o cast_v his_o eye_n upward_o while_o his_o action_n tend_v to_o the_o pit_n infernal_a the_o other_o stand_v with_o a_o deject_a countenance_n while_o his_o hand_n and_o heart_n move_v upward_o it_o be_v not_o a_o shame_n to_o make_v show_n of_o our_o profession_n so_o we_o true_o profess_v what_o we_o make_v show_v of_o but_o of_o the_o two_o i_o have_v rather_o be_v good_a and_o not_o seem_v so_o than_o seem_v good_a and_o not_o be_v so_o the_o publican_n go_v home_o to_o his_o house_n rather_o justify_v then_o the_o pharisee_n when_o i_o think_v on_o the_o eagle_n carry_v up_o of_o the_o shellfish_n into_o the_o air_n only_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v break_v he_o by_o his_o fall_n it_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o devilish_a costly_a courtesy_n who_o out_o of_o the_o bounty_n of_o his_o subtlety_n be_v still_o ready_a to_o advance_v we_o to_o destruction_n thus_o more_o than_o once_o he_o deal_v with_o my_o redeemer_n no_o soon_o have_v he_o raise_v he_o to_o the_o top_n of_o a_o high_a pinnacle_n but_o straight_o follow_v cast_v thyself_o down_o and_o have_v place_v he_o on_o a_o high_a mountain_n let_v he_o fall_v down_o and_o he_o shall_v be_v large_o reward_v with_o his_o own_o if_o advancement_n be_v so_o dangerous_a i_o will_v take_v heed_n of_o be_v ambitious_a any_o estate_n shall_v give_v i_o content_a i_o be_o high_a enough_o if_o i_o can_v stand_v upright_o when_o i_o see_v leaf_n drop_v from_o their_o tree_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o autumn_n just_o such_o think_v i_o be_v the_o friendship_n of_o the_o world_n while_o the_o sap_n of_o maintenance_n last_v my_o friend_n swarm_v in_o abundance_n but_o in_o the_o winter_n of_o my_o need_n they_o leave_v i_o naked_a he_o be_v a_o happy_a man_n that_o have_v a_o true_a friend_n at_o his_o need_n but_o he_o be_v more_o true_o happy_a that_o have_v no_o need_n of_o his_o friend_n i_o shall_v wonder_v that_o the_o unsatiable_a desire_n of_o ambition_n can_v find_v no_o degree_n of_o content_n but_o that_o i_o see_v they_o seek_v a_o perfection_n of_o honour_n on_o earth_n when_o the_o fullness_n of_o glory_n be_v only_o in_o heaven_n the_o honour_n on_o earth_n be_v full_a of_o degree_n but_o no_o degree_n admit_v a_o
