be_v commit_v to_o we_o and_o a_o breach_n of_o that_o justice_n that_o be_v due_a from_o man_n to_o they_o and_o therefore_o i_o have_v always_o esteem_v it_o as_o part_v of_o my_o duty_n and_o it_o have_v be_v always_o my_o practice_n to_o be_v merciful_a to_o my_o beast_n and_o upon_o the_o same_o account_n i_o have_v ever_o esteem_v it_o a_o breach_n of_o trust_n and_o have_v according_o decline_v any_o cruelty_n to_o any_o of_o thy_o creature_n and_o as_o much_o as_o i_o may_v prevent_v it_o in_o other_o as_o a_o tyranny_n inconsistent_a with_o the_o trust_n and_o stewardship_n that_o thou_o have_v commit_v to_o i_o i_o have_v abhor_v those_o sport_n that_o consist_v in_o the_o torture_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o if_o either_o noxious_a creature_n must_v be_v destroy_v or_o creature_n for_o food_n must_v be_v take_v it_o have_v be_v my_o practice_n to_o do_v it_o in_o that_o manner_n that_o may_v be_v with_o the_o least_o torture_n or_o cruelty_n to_o the_o creature_n and_o i_o have_v still_o think_v it_o a_o unlawful_a thing_n to_o destroy_v those_o creature_n for_o recreation-sake_n that_o either_o be_v not_o hurtful_a when_o they_o live_v or_o be_v not_o profitable_a when_o they_o be_v kill_v ever_o remember_v that_o though_o thou_o have_v give_v we_o a_o dominion_n over_o thy_o creature_n yet_o it_o be_v under_o a_o law_n of_o justice_n prudence_n and_o moderation_n otherwise_o we_o shall_v become_v tyrant_n not_o lord_n over_o thy_o creature_n and_o therefore_o those_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n that_o other_o have_v practise_v as_o recreation_n i_o have_v avoid_v as_o sin_n concern_v my_o wealth_n the_o more_o i_o have_v the_o more_o be_v my_o care_n and_o the_o great_a the_o charge_n that_o i_o have_v under_o my_o hand_n

indeed_o i_o rejoice_v in_o this_o that_o my_o master_n esteem_v i_o wise_a and_o faithful_a commit_v the_o dispensation_n thereof_o to_o my_o trust_n but_o i_o think_v it_o no_o more_o i_o than_o the_o lord_n bailie_n or_o the_o merchant_n cashkeeper_n think_v his_o master_n rent_n or_o money_n he_o and_o therefore_o think_v it_o will_v be_v a_o breach_n of_o my_o trust_n to_o consume_v or_o

as_o a_o brittle_a thing_n a_o thing_n that_o the_o devil_n aim_v to_o hit_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n a_o thing_n that_o be_v much_o in_o the_o power_n of_o a_o false_a report_n a_o mistake_n a_o
