rigid_a who_o must_v have_v sing_v psalm_n and_o so_o it_o be_v ancient_o in_o the_o jewish_a church_n i_o profess_v not_o to_o know_v any_o pleasure_n exceed_v music_n save_v that_o of_o

concern_v this_o recreation_n to_o which_o i_o confess_v myself_o a_o little_a partial_a and_o i_o can_v but_o wonder_v at_o some_o person_n who_o be_v so_o much_o more_o than_o brutish_a as_o they_o

nothing_o of_o pleasure_n far_o than_o refection_n which_o include_v eat_v drink_v and_o sleep_v only_o suppose_v to_o be_v necessary_a recreation_n or_o pastime_n they_o hold_v altogether_o

even_o the_o great_a turk_n himself_o and_o they_o consider_v not_o the_o necessity_n of_o health_n which_o can_v be_v preserve_v with_o a_o continual_a intention_n of_o mind_n a_o bow_n that_o

that_o our_o sovereign_n be_v happy_a beyond_o other_o prince_n for_o he_o be_v very_o much_o serve_v gratis_o in_o matter_n of_o common_a government_n whereas_o other_o be_v enforce_v to_o use_v

for_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o such_o shall_v have_v their_o freedom_n since_o they_o need_v not_o be_v oblige_v to_o any_o rule_n of_o frugality_n and_o i_o may_v say_v it_o be_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o this_o kingdom_n that_o the_o court_n and_o chief_a city_n shall_v be_v frequent_v and_o expense_n in_o bravery_n there_o be_v not_o only_o honourable_a but_o bring_v advantage_n to_o the_o people_n since_o many_o trade_n and_o manufacture_n subsist_v mere_o by_o excess_n of_o that_o nature_n every_o man_n therefore_o must_v use_v his_o prudence_n and_o do_v that_o which_o be_v most_o
