of_o worldly_a pelf_n oh_o that_o a_o creature_n of_o so_o incomparable_a a_o price_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o demaine_n of_o so_o unnatural_a keeper_n and_o that_o which_o in_o itself_o be_v so_o gracious_a and_o amiable_a that_o the_o angel_n and_o saint_n delight_v to_o behold_v it_o alas_o if_o the_o care_n of_o our_o own_o soul_n move_v we_o no_o more_o but_o that_o we_o remain_v negligent_a of_o the_o better_a portion_n of_o ourselves_o let_v we_o at_o least_o fear_n to_o do_v injury_n to_o a_o other_o very_o careful_a &_o jealous_a over_o it_o who_o will_v never_o endure_v so_o deep_a a_o impeachment_n of_o his_o interest_n to_o pass_v unrevenged_a we_o must_v remember_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v not_o only_o a_o part_n of_o we_o but_o also_o the_o temple_n the_o

on_o such_o dare_a offender_n will_v he_o so_o neglect_v and_o loose_v his_o honour_n which_o of_o all_o thing_n he_o claim_v as_o his_o chief_a peculiar_a will_v he_o that_o for_o the_o soul_n sake_n
