may_v ask_v how_o fall_v it_o out_o that_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n come_v all_o of_o one_o father_n no_o do_v vary_v so_o much_o one_o from_o another_o both_o in_o body_n and_o mind_n the_o

wheresoever_o disperse_v over_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o first_o and_o principal_a cause_n be_v nature_n itself_o that_o be_v the_o wise_a providence_n of_o god_n marvelous_a in_o all_o

of_o body_n as_o mind_n the_o diverse_a colour_n of_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n have_v not_o so_o shine_v in_o they_o but_o as_o he_o be_v above_o all_o yea_o only_a wise_a good_a and_o beautiful_a so_o will_v he_o in_o his_o work_n keep_v a_o certain_a resemblance_n of_o his_o own_o perfection_n provoke_v we_o thereby_o daily_o to_o advance_v and_o raise_v our_o thought_n unto_o the_o high_a
