the_o time_n when_o our_o travel_n shall_v do_v good_a let_v god_n alone_o therewith_o only_o see_v thou_o labour_v and_o do_v that_o god_n appoint_v thou_o and_o think_v not_o that_o thou_o be_v able_a to_o redress_v all_o thing_n to_o see_v that_o all_o officer_n be_v good_a and_o all_o artificer_n and_o craft_n man_n at_o peace_n and_o unity_n thus_o therefore_o he_o say_v i_o see_v the_o

the_o world_n to_o be_v short_a he_o that_o will_v live_v quiet_o live_v must_v think_v with_o himself_o that_o he_o shall_v see_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n but_o vanity_n and_o they_o shall_v it_o
