so_o great_a to_o bend_v yourself_o so_o gentle_o &_o so_o friendly_a towards_o i_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v not_o need_v in_o haste_n to_o scrangle_n my_o wit_n together_o in_o utter_a my_o mind_n at_o

now_o wherein_o i_o may_v choose_v i_o will_v rather_o creep_v with_o the_o snayl_n then_o run_v with_o the_o heart_n for_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o slow_a go_n ass_n be_v always_o

puttinge_v themselves_o in_o danger_n of_o as_o great_a peril_n do_v we_o not_o daily_o see_v that_o many_o for_o haste_n offer_v to_o put_v meat_n into_o their_o mouth_n gape_v full_a wide_o and_o
