1670._o sam_n woodforde_n the_o life_n of_o mr._n george_n herbert_n the_o introduction_n in_o a_o late_a retreat_n from_o the_o business_n of_o this_o world_n and_o those_o many_o little_a care_n with_o which_o i_o have_v too_o often_o encumber_v myself_o i_o fall_v into_o a_o contemplation_n of_o some_o of_o those_o historical_a passage_n that_o be_v record_v in_o sacred_a story_n and_o more_o particular_o of_o what_o have_v pass_v betwixt_o our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o that_o wonder_v of_o woman_n and_o sinner_n and_o mourner_n saint_n mary_n magdalen_n i_o call_v her_o saint_n because_o i_o do_v not_o then_o nor_o do_v now_o consider_v she_o as_o when_o she_o be_v possess_v with_o seven_o devil_n not_o as_o when_o her_o wanton_a eye_n and_o dishevel_a hair_n be_v design_v and_o manage_v to_o charm_v and_o ensnare_v amorous_a beholder_n but_o i_o do_v then_o and_o do_v now_o consider_v she_o as_o after_o she_o have_v express_v a_o visible_a and_o sacred_a sorrow_n for_o her_o sensuality_n as_o after_o those_o eye_n have_v weep_v such_o a_o flood_n of_o penitential_a tear_n as_o do_v wash_v and_o that_o hair_n have_v wipe_v and_o she_o most_o passionate_o kiss_v the_o foot_n of_o she_o and_o our_o bless_a jesus_n and_o i_o do_v now_o consider_v that_o because_o she_o love_v much_o not_o only_o much_o be_v forgive_v she_o but_o that_o beside_o that_o bless_a blessing_n of_o have_v her_o sin_n pardon_v she_o also_o have_v from_o he_o a_o testimony_n that_o her_o alabaster_n box_n of_o precious_a ointment_n pour_v on_o his_o head_n and_o foot_n and_o that_o spikenard_n and_o those_o spice_n that_o be_v by_o she_o dedicate_v to_o embalm_v and_o preserve_v his_o sacred_a body_n from_o putrefaction_n shall_v so_o far_o preserve_v she_o own_o memory_n that_o these_o demonstration_n of_o her_o sanctify_a love_n and_o of_o her_o officious_a and_o generous_a gratitude_n shall_v be_v record_v and_o mention_v wheresoever_o his_o gospel_n shall_v be_v read_v intend_v thereby_o that_o as_o he_o so_o her_o name_n shall_v also_o live_v to_o succeed_a generation_n even_o till_o time_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o upon_o occasion_n of_o which_o fair_a example_n i_o do_v late_o look_v back_o and_o not_o without_o some_o content_n at_o least_o to_o myself_o that_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o deserve_v the_o love_n and_o preserve_v the_o memory_n of_o my_o two_o decease_a friend_n dr._n donne_n and_o sir_n henry_n wotton_n by_o declare_v the_o various_a employment_n and_o accident_n of_o their_o life_n and_o though_o mr._n george_n herbert_n who_o life_n i_o now_o intend_v to_o write_v be_v to_o i_o a_o stranger_n as_o to_o his_o person_n yet_o since_o he_o be_v and_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v their_o friend_n and_o very_o many_o of_o his_o have_v be_v i_o i_o judge_v it_o may_v not_o be_v unacceptable_a to_o those_o that_o know_v any_o of_o they_o in_o their_o life_n or_o do_v now_o know_v their_o write_n to_o see_v this_o conjunction_n of_o they_o after_o their_o death_n without_o which_o many_o thing_n that_o concern_v they_o and_o some_o thing_n that_o concern_v the_o age_n in_o which_o they_o liu●d_v will_v be_v less_o perfect_a and_o lose_v to_o posterity_n for_o these_o reason_n i_o have_v undertake_v it_o and_o if_o i_o have_v prevent_v any_o able_a person_n i_o beg_v pardon_n of_o he_o and_o my_o reader_n the_o life_n
