can_v no_o more_o live_v upon_o these_o thing_n than_o the_o body_n can_v upon_o a_o thought_n or_o notion_n there_o be_v a_o threefold_a unsuitableness_n between_o worldly_a thing_n and_o the_o

and_o therefore_o it_o be_v but_o small_a comfort_n when_o the_o rich_a man_n sing_v his_o requiem_n to_o say_v soul_n take_v thy_o ease_n thou_o have_v good_n lay_v up_o for_o many_o year_n thou_o
