love_v one_o so_o gentle_a and_o compliant_a as_o if_o he_o be_v but_o wax_n to_o thy_o impression_n one_o that_o make_v thou_o shine_v as_o the_o moon_n do_v with_o the_o ray_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o

the_o want_n of_o it_o as_o the_o sun_n do_v the_o absence_n of_o the_o star_n he_o that_o be_v now_o love_v and_o esteem_v will_v quite_o obscure_v and_o hide_v all_o the_o other_o excellency_n do_v but_o love_n god_n then_o more_o than_o this_o husband_n and_o his_o glory_n which_o put_v out_o the_o lustre_n of_o all_o other_o thing_n will_v make_v thou_o as_o little_o trouble_v at_o his_o

this_o will_v preserve_v they_o more_o than_o a_o father_n when_o the_o guard_n be_v set_v within_o they_o will_v less_o need_v one_o without_o this_o will_v be_v better_o than_o riches_n and_o
