of_o true_o bless_v in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v the_o three_o remarqueable_a point_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o use_n be_v to_o make_v our_o experience_n profitable_a forasmuch_o

every_o good_a beginning_n next_o after_o god_n proceed_v from_o nature_n the_o happy_a progress_n and_o ample_a increase_n from_o reason_n precept_n and_o the_o full_a accomplishment_n thereof_o from_o use_n in_o such_o sort_n then_o to_o make_v a_o man_n perfect_o virtuous_a these_o three_o thing_n must_v conspire_v together_o for_o nature_n without_o reason_n and_o use_v be_v like_a unto_o
