that_o be_v within_o us._n let_v we_o far_o consider_v how_o that_o poverty_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v take_v from_o we_o in_o a_o day_n in_o a_o hour_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o

let_v we_o far_o consider_v that_o the_o poor_a man_n be_v near_a the_o attain_v of_o his_o end_n then_o be_v the_o rich_a forasmuch_o as_o he_o do_v not_o ordinary_o desire_v more_o than_o

of_o the_o entire_a destruction_n of_o himself_o but_o if_o he_o resolve_v of_o neither_o of_o these_o it_o be_v a_o evil_a of_o all_o other_o most_o to_o be_v detest_v hippocrates_n in_o his_o

let_v we_o be_v christian_n and_o affirm_v not_o only_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o unfaigned_o believe_v the_o infallible_a law_n of_o jesus_n christ_n reveal_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o
