the_o glass-window_n to_o shake_v and_o rattle_v as_o if_o they_o will_v have_v be_v break_v to_o piece_n and_o make_v the_o body_n of_o some_o that_o be_v sit_v to_o rock_n and_o some_o that_o be_v

they_o often_o induce_v it_o to_o consider_v how_o vain_a all_o worldly_a pomp_n be_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o mortality_n of_o the_o body_n so_o that_o at_o some_o time_n or_o time_n in_o every_o

seven_o month_n and_o about_o december_n he_o will_v be_v almost_o in_o opposition_n to_o saturn_n from_o gemini_fw-la and_o sagittarius_fw-la that_o i_o fear_v during_o the_o last_o four_o or_o
