and_o look_v back_o ready_a to_o run_v fast_o i_o be_v full_a of_o fear_n dread_v every_o one_o i_o meet_v by_o this_o i_o know_v that_o as_o the_o contemplation_n and_o thought_n of_o a_o happiness_n or_o good_a be_v more_o than_o the_o thing_n itself_o when_v enjoy_v so_o the_o fear_n and_o care_n that_o attend_v the_o expectation_n of_o a_o danger_n be_v more_o than_o fall_v into_o the_o

when_o it_o have_v happen_v as_o i_o wish_v when_o i_o have_v enjoy_v what_o i_o so_o earnest_o desire_v i_o then_o find_v no_o such_o great_a pleasure_n or_o content_v in_o it_o the_o fruition_n be_v not_o half_a so_o pleasant_a as_o the_o contemplation_n so_o i_o have_v again_o think_v that_o if_o i_o shall_v be_v so_o unfortunate_a as_o to_o be_v thrust_v into_o a_o prison_n how_o miserable_a i_o shall_v be_v and_o that_o have_v fal●_n upon_o i_o although_o i_o have_v be_v very_o impatient_a during_o the_o time_n of_o my_o constraint_n and_o confinement_n yet_o the_o affliction_n have_v

that_o nature_n to_o be_v more_o particular_a in_o it_o and_o therefore_o close_o it_o up_o at_o present_a with_o this_o conclusion_n that_o the_o fear_n i_o be_v in_o of_o my_o father_n anger_n against_o i_o need_v not_o to_o have_v be_v so_o great_a as_o it_o be_v for_o he_o be_v more_o moderate_a than_o i_o expect_v and_o by_o what_o i_o understand_v afterward_o i_o have_v no_o great_a

that_o it_o will_v be_v almost_o impossible_a to_o regulate_v thing_n as_o he_o ought_v between_o his_o son_n and_o i_o he_o be_v therefore_o willing_a to_o be_v rid_v of_o i_o he_o know_v that_o it_o
