he_o abstain_v from_o fleshly_a desire_n he_o subdue_v his_o pleasure_n he_o little_o esteem_v honour_n riches_n nobility_n fame_n and_o whatsoever_o the_o world_n hold_v most_o precious_a he_o fear_v not_o ignominy_n poverty_n affliction_n nor_o death_n itself_o and_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o flesh_n that_o he_o most_o desire_v and_o wise_a man_n be_v wont_a to_o measure_v
