the_o best_a liver_n and_o suit_n in_o law_n be_v a_o mere_a labyrinth_n to_o a_o honest_a man_n and_o quiet_a mind_n trouble_n can_v overthrow_v godly_a resolution_n nor_o wise_a man_n be_v

clothes_n and_o action_n wherein_o man_n do_v so_o much_o glory_n show_v they_o void_a of_o wisdom_n and_o piety_n which_o if_o it_o infuse_v no_o other_o infection_n to_o the_o speaker_n or_o

this_o a_o gentleman_n sit_v at_o the_o table_n of_o a_o great_a friend_n be_v his_o favourite_n the_o table_n full_o furnish_v and_o the_o company_n well_o prepare_v to_o their_o viand_n the_o

that_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o break_v and_o thus_o be_v idle_a ignorant_a vanity_n worthy_o make_v ridiculous_a by_o hire_n own_o folly_n valour_n unless_o i_o make_v a_o man_n base_a fear_n

valour_n make_v a_o captain_n with_o a_o few_o soldier_n overcome_v many_o enemy_n but_o he_o that_o overcom_v himself_o be_v valiant_a indeed_o but_o he_o which_o be_v his_o own_o enemy_n whether_o

valour_n scorn_v to_o move_v the_o impotent_a to_o impatiency_n to_o betray_v the_o innocent_a to_o villainy_n or_o to_o vex_v the_o simple_a with_o impetuositie_n valour_n will_v not_o insult_v
