know_v you_o you_o have_v be_v altogether_o a_o right_a worldling_n and_o so_o according_o nothing_o can_v make_v you_o more_o sorrowful_a than_o worldly_a misfortune_n and_o nothing_o more_o merry_a than_o earthly_a prosperity_n but_o now_o it_o seem_v that_o you_o be_v otherwise_o change_v and_o mind_v eu._n you_o have_v hit_v the_o truth_n for_o i_o assure_v you_o since_o you_o last_o see_v i_o

have_v persuade_v you_o as_o much_o as_o i_o may_v to_o despise_v worldly_a pleasure_n to_o be_v patient_a in_o trouble_n not_o to_o lament_v for_o worldly_a loss_n not_o to_o mourn_v for_o the_o

for_o preach_n or_o sermon_n i_o care_v not_o much_o for_o they_o marry_o sometime_o but_o that_o be_v very_o seldom_o i_o go_v to_o a_o sermon_n sermon_n rather_o to_o seem_v obedient_a to_o my_o

that_o do_v follow_v for_o when_o i_o come_v home_o from_o the_o sermon_n the_o least_o thing_n contrary_a to_o my_o mind_n will_v make_v i_o fret_v and_o fume_n fall_v out_o with_o my_o wife_n or_o
