warm_a satisfy_v hunger_n and_o thirst_n and_o so_o far_o my_o money_n have_v be_v my_o servant_n and_o so_o far_o he_o shall_v be_v you_o why_o so_o you_o may_v say_v of_o a_o house_n when_o the_o

for_o as_o the_o one_o do_v pull_v down_o the_o flesh_n from_o rebel_a against_o the_o spirit_n so_o do_v the_o other_o give_v the_o spirit_n more_o life_n in_o rejoice_v upon_o a_o just_a cause_n of_o joy_n as_o in_o many_o excellent_a history_n as_o well_o divine_a as_o human_a we_o may_v read_v but_o to_o allow_v thereby_o of_o drunkenness_n or_o glotonny_n i_o have_v no_o such_o meaning_n

the_o cook_n the_o brewer_n and_o the_o butcher_n do_v by_o the_o vent_n of_o their_o ware_n the_o better_o maintain_v their_o trade_n so_o that_o i_o think_v i_o may_v well_o say_v that_o money_n in_o the_o provision_n of_o feast_n and_o banquet_n be_v to_o be_v employ_v as_o a_o servant_n of_o necessity_n chre._n so_o sir_n you_o say_v well_o but_o money_n have_v serve_v i_o for_o the_o
