much_o more_o do_v i_o rejoice_v in_o the_o outgreen_v plant_n of_o its_o amiableness_n and_o loveliness_n power_n and_o and_o virtue_n since_o i_o find_v myself_o also_o to_o be_v a_o little_a twig_n on_o the_o same_o tree_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a and_o i_o see_v this_o with_o great_a admiration_n that_o it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o night_n

that_o a_o old_a desolate_a break_a house_n that_o continual_o expect_v by_o the_o tempest_n to_o be_v throw_v into_o heap_n begin_v to_o become_v new_a again_o and_o set_v forth_o its_o first_o

that_o we_o know_v our_o mother_n in_o and_o by_o the_o same_o and_o can_v speak_v with_o she_o out_o of_o her_o own_o tongue_n ought_v not_o we_o just_o high_o to_o admire_v that_o we_o be_v in_o

another_o about_o the_o building_n than_o we_o ought_v to_o learn_v to_o acknowledge_v the_o one_o the_o other_o every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o gift_n and_o not_o to_o despise_v or_o reject_v
