that_o follow_v 1._o it_o will_v make_v every_o creature_n that_o we_o see_v and_o every_o occurrence_n that_o we_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o world_n to_o serve_v we_o as_o schoolmaster_n to_o lead_v

and_o care_n of_o this_o life_n and_o so_o that_o day_n come_v upon_o you_o unaware_o luk._n 21.34_o this_o show_v that_o meat_n &_o drink_n if_o they_o be_v immoderate_a be_v a_o burden_n to_o the_o soul_n likewise_o sleep_n if_o it_o be_v seasonable_a refresh_v nature_n and_o make_v man_n fit_a for_o their_o work_n but_o unseasonable_a sleep_n be_v a_o hindrance_n to_o good_a employment_n

and_o seasonable_a but_o in_o both_o these_o refresh_n man_n do_v oftentimes_o offend_v and_o he_o that_o will_v have_v good_a of_o these_o comfort_n must_v be_v careful_a to_o avoid_v those_o error_n which_o be_v these_o 1._o man_n offend_v in_o eat_v and_o drink_v seldom_o in_o defect_n but_o many_o time_n by_o excess_n it_o be_v sometime_o a_o fault_n among_o the_o primitive_a christian_n when_o

and_o drink_v and_o care_v for_o the_o world_n excessive_o or_o overmuch_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v press_v down_o and_o lay_v grovel_v upon_o the_o earth_n so_o that_o it_o be_v unfit_a for_o
