when_o man_n choose_v governor_n in_o a_o city_n or_o in_o a_o country_n if_o they_o shall_v take_v young_a light_n head_v and_o brainless_a fool_n which_o have_v no_o skill_n to_o govern_v their_o own_o person_n the_o choose_v of_o such_o to_o be_v their_o judge_n and_o leader_n be_v a_o pervert_v of_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n yea_o and_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n and_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o man_n intend_v to_o spite_n god_n as_o often_o as_o it_o be_v so_o then_o if_o man_n which_o may_v choose_v settle_v personage_n and_o man_n of_o great_a gravity_n and_o ripeness_n will_v let_v they_o sit_v still_o in_o their_o house_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n take_v fantastical_a fellow_n and_o little_a snale_n of_o one_o night_n growth_n and_o and_o set_v they_o in_o the_o seat_n of_o justice_n when_o as_o they_o know_v not_o what_o it_o mean_v it_o be_v like_a as_o if_o man_n shall_v marry_v little_a babe_n it_o will_v please_v they_o well_o to_o be_v marry_v because_o it_o will_v be_v say_v unto_o they_o you_o shall_v eat_v roast_v meat_n and_o pastycrust_n and_o that_o will_v like_v they_o very_o well_o but_o be_v it_o therefore_o a_o marriage_n even_o so_o say_v i_o be_v it_o with_o those_o that_o be_v set_v in_o the_o seat_n of_o justice_n and_o have_v neither_o skill_n not_o wit_n but_o be_v worse_o than_o babe_n because_o man_n have_v not_o a_o consideration_n to_o choose_v such_o as_o be_v of_o more_o gravity_n and_o experience_n therefore_o it_o behove_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n to_o be_v observe_v first_o of_o all_o which_o be_v that_o when_o we_o have_v man_n of_o year_n who_o god_n have_v endue_v with_o grace_n than_o they_o shall_v be_v put_v in_o office_n to_o guide_v other_o and_o the_o young_a sort_n humble_v themselves_o under_o they_o for_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n that_o young_a man_n shall_v take_v upon_o they_o the_o room_n of_o their_o elder_n and_o disdain_n to_o receive_v instruction_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o that_o have_v live_v long_o this_o pride_n bind_v not_o itself_o against_o mortal_a man_n but_o be_v a_o resist_n of_o god_n who_o have_v settle_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n and_o will_v have_v man_n to_o observe_v it_o as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o we_o preacher_n and_o of_o the_o state_n of_o bear_v abroad_o and_o publish_v god_n word_n for_o when_o there_o be_v a_o well_o try_v man_n of_o good_a experience_n and_o knowledge_n if_o man_n vouchsafe_v not_o to_o be_v serve_v with_o such_o a_o one_o but_o take_v a_o young_a man_n at_o adventure_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o have_v the_o same_o order_n in_o estimation_n nevertheless_o there_o must_v no_o general_a rule_n be_v make_v of_o it_o for_o oftentimes_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o god_n shall_v give_v much_o more_o grace_n to_o young_a man_n than_o to_o such_o as_o have_v live_v double_a their_o time_n and_o therefore_o the_o say_a order_n which_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o must_v not_o hinder_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v receive_v where_o he_o show_v himself_o and_o his_o gift_n be_v apply_v to_o good_a use_n according_a as_o he_o distribute_v they_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n choose_v timothy_n though_o there_o be_v many_o elder_a man_n at_o that_o time_n for_o when_o he_o have_v see_v that_o excellent_a man_n as_o who_o have_v the_o record_n not_o only_o of_o man_n but_o also_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o prefer_v he_o before_o those_o that_o be_v elder_a even_o so_o deal_v eliu_n here_o who_o after_o he_o have_v hearken_v unto_o other_o say_v he_o know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o man_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o judge_v that_o old_a man_n do_v dote_v except_o we_o know_v how_o the_o matter_n go_v neither_o must_v we_o fail_v to_o give_v they_o room_n and_o place_n but_o we_o must_v yield_v such_o honour_n to_o their_o age_n as_o to_o say_v well_o the_o man_n that_o have_v see_v much_o be_v able_a to_o teach_v we_o but_o if_o we_o perceive_v that_o he_o discharge_v not_o his_o duty_n or_o that_o he_o have_v lose_v his_o time_n which_o he_o have_v live_v in_o the_o world_n then_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v in_o a_o young_a man_n it_o behove_v he_o to_o put_v forth_o himself_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o the_o observe_n of_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n must_v not_o be_v always_o with_o such_o condition_n that_o when_o god_n endue_v they_o with_o any_o gift_n of_o grace_n they_o shall_v not_o serve_v his_o church_n or_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o teach_v not_o only_o their_o equal_n and_o companion_n but_o also_o even_o the_o old_a man_n of_o all_o and_o consequent_o the_o rich_a man_n must_v not_o stick_v to_o their_o age_n and_o thereupon_o be_v unpatient_a and_o reject_v all_o warning_n to_o say_v how_o now_o i_o have_v live_v a_o long_a time_n and_o shall_v a_o young_a ▪_o lad_n teach_v i_o my_o lesson_n no_o but_o let_v they_o think_v thu●_n with_o themselves_o i_o ought_v too_o have_v profit_v in_o such_o wi●e_n as_o i_o may_v have_v be_v a_o leader_n of_o other_o but_o i_o see_v neewe_n that_o i_o have_v need_n to_o be_v lead_v myself_o i_o be_o a_o young_a child_n in_o comparison_n of_o those_o that_o shall_v have_v be_v teach_v by_o i_o and_o see_v it_o be_v so_o that_o god_n have_v disappoint_v i_o of_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v requisite_a in_o a_o leader_n it_o behove_v i_o too_o be_v a_o scholar_n and_o not_o a_o master_n you_o see_v then_o that_o old_a man_n ought_v too_o yield_v themselves_o too_o conformity_n when_o they_o see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v large_a gift_n of_o grace_n too_o those_o that_o ought_v too_o follow_v they_o and_o not_o too_o go_v afore_o they_o now_o have_v we_o a_o good_a doctrine_n too_o put_v in_o ure_n which_o we_o gather_v of_o the_o thing_n set_v down_o heretofore_o which_o be_v that_o for_o the_o better_a conceive_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v contain_v here_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o eliu_n in_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o dwell_v in_o man_n mean_v too_o express_v that_o when_o it_o please_v god_n that_o one_o man_n shall_v be_v of_o great_a understanding_n than_o another_o it_o be_v a_o special_a gift_n which_o he_o grant_v as_o it_o be_v for_o a_o privilege_n true_a it_o be_v that_o general_o god_n have_v make_v we_o all_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o we_o differ_v from_o the_o brute_n beast_n god_n then_o have_v give_v some_o discretion_n and_o understand_v to_o all_o man_n without_o exception_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o see_v that_o some_o be_v slow_a and_o dull_a and_o othersome_a quick_a witted_a some_o be_v fantastical_a and_o othersome_a be_v of_o good_a gravity_n whereof_o come_v that_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n hold_v his_o gift_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o deal_v they_o at_o his_o pleasure_n too_o who_o he_o think_v good_a this_o be_v it_o that_o eliphas_n ment_fw-la too_o express_v in_o this_o place_n too_o the_o end_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o think_v they_o self_n too_o have_v it_o by_o natural_a inheritance_n from_o their_o mother_n womb_n nor_o as_o a_o thing_n belong_v to_o they_o of_o duty_n nor_o as_o get_v by_o their_o own_o purchase_n behold_v eliu_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n have_v create_v we_o all_o and_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o have_v some_o reason_n howbeit_o but_o by_o measure_n yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o a_o man_n have_v knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n it_o behoove_v he_o to_o know_v that_o god_n have_v reach_v out_o his_o hand_n unto_o he_o peculiar_o and_o that_o therefore_o he_o be_v the_o more_o beholden_a and_o bind_v unto_o he_o and_o this_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o too_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v exalt_v with_o pride_n nor_o think_v ourselves_o too_o be_v the_o more_o worth_a because_o we_o have_v knowledge_n and_o understanding_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v consider_v that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o give_v we_o that_o grace_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o walk_v in_o so_o much_o the_o great_a fear_n for_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o debt_n and_o therewithal_o his_o give_v of_o his_o benefit_n be_v too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v communicate_v they_o with_o our_o neighbour_n therefore_o if_o we_o can_v not_o use_v they_o too_o the_o glorify_v of_o our_o god_n and_o too_o the_o edify_n of_o such_o as_o have_v need_n of_o they_o it_o be_v curtain_a that_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o blame_v worthy_a this_o
show_v and_o utter_v himself_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v worse_o than_o brutish_a and_o blockish_a if_o we_o think_v not_o upon_o he_o too_o submit_v ourselves_o too_o all_o that_o be_v speak_v too_o we_o in_o his_o name_n and_o authority_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o consider_v how_o malicious_a the_o world_n be_v see_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v so_o well_o preach_v and_o know_v be_v notwithstanding_o so_o ill_o receive_v of_o most_o man_n and_o so_o little_o

that_o it_o be_v of_o he_o see_v you_o not_o how_o rebellious_a the_o papist_n be_v at_o this_o day_n but_o let_v we_o not_o go_v so_o far_o let_v we_o come_v home_o among_o ourselves_o man_n profess_v themselves_o too_o be_v mind_v too_o hold_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v they_o be_v speak_v to_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n let_v thing_n be_v lay_v open_a before_o they_o let_v matter_n be_v make_v so_o plain_a unto_o they_o that_o even_o the_o very_a devil_n of_o they_o be_v convict_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v preach_v be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o yet_o they_o continue_v still_o in_o their_o stubbornness_n without_o make_v any_o conscience_n too_o strive_v against_o god_n their_o maliciousness_n be_v match_v with_o shamelessness_n insomuch_o that_o man_n be_v come_v too_o such_o point_n as_o we_o need_v not_o too_o go_v out_o of_o geneva_n too_o see_v most_o manifest_a rebellion_n in_o set_v light_n by_o god_n or_o too_o see_v such_o devilish_a pride_n as_o too_o say_v tush_o god_n shall_v not_o reign_v over_o we_o let_v they_o prattle_v and_o talk_v what_o they_o listen_v &_o yet_o will_v we_o not_o yield_v a_o whit_n for_o they_o very_o there_o be_v such_o rebelliousness_n to_o be_v see_v that_o man_n make_v as_o much_o account_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v in_o sermon_n as_o of_o fable_n this_o thing_n be_v too_o notorious_a the_o example_n thereof_o be_v to_o open_v and_o will_v god_n they_o be_v not_o such_o to_o our_o great_a confusion_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n they_o that_o have_v dally_v so_o with_o so_o great_a a_o master_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o know_v he_o who_o they_o have_v wound_v and_o prick_v as_o the_o prophet_n zacharie_n say_v so_o then_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o this_o sentence_n and_o so_o to_o mark_v it_o as_o we_o may_v be_v more_o apt_a and_o willing_a too_o be_v teach_v at_o god_n hand_n than_o these_o wild_a beast_n be_v which_o sharpen_v themselves_o against_o he_o too_o reject_v all_o that_o concern_v his_o doctrine_n and_o pure_a word_n for_o there_o be_v yet_o some_o shamefastness_n in_o the_o papist_n when_o they_o fight_v against_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o their_o idolatrye_n and_o abomination_n they_o seek_v false_a gloze_n and_o shift_n and_o too_o be_v short_a although_o their_o cover_n of_o themselves_o be_v but_o with_o a_o wet_a yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o confess_v that_o their_o intent_n be_v not_o too_o resist_v god_n but_o when_o man_n step_v forth_o with_o such_o ungodliness_n as_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n too_o receive_v one_o word_n of_o that_o which_o be_v know_v too_o be_v god_n truth_n but_o fret_v and_o chafe_v against_o it_o so_o as_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o honesty_n in_o they_o as_o too_o admit_v the_o thing_n which_o they_o know_v to_o be_v good_a but_o do_v the_o clean_a contrary_n be_v it_o not_o manifest_v therein_o that_o we_o be_v much_o worse_a than_o the_o wretched_a papist_n wherefore_o as_o i_o say_v at_o leastwise_o let_v this_o serve_v we_o for_o a_o warning_n that_o we_o be_v not_o doublefolde_v condemn_v and_o special_o above_o all_o thing_n sith_o he_o come_v unto_o we_o and_o speak_v too_o we_o and_o gather_v we_o together_o in_o his_o name_n too_o the_o end_n to_o be_v

with_o our_o mouth_n by_o confess_v slight_o that_o we_o be_v his_o but_o also_o with_o our_o deed_n by_o give_v proof_n in_o effect_n that_o we_o be_v desirous_a to_o be_v his_o heritage_n â–ª_o and_o sith_o he_o vouchsafe_v this_o incomprehensible_a benefit_n grace_n and_o honour_n upon_o we_o to_o give_v himself_o to_o we_o and_o to_o be_v our_o life_n let_v there_o also_o be_v a_o

that_o god_n do_v great_a and_o mighty_a thing_n in_o thunder_a and_o in_o send_v forth_o lightning_n and_o tempest_n and_o that_o we_o comprehend_v it_o not_o let_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o in_o speak_v both_o by_o his_o law_n and_o by_o his_o gospel_n he_o intend_v to_o lift_v we_o up_o above_o all_o our_o understanding_n as_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o shall_v never_o profit_v in_o the_o

every_o day_n now_o too_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v taste_v they_o well_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v let_v we_o consider_v that_o our_o lord_n call_v we_o to_o his_o heavenly_a kingdom_n and_o be_v

make_v the_o same_o conclusion_n in_o the_o foresay_a text_n which_o i_o touch_v where_o he_o cite_v the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n therefore_o after_o he_o have_v say_v that_o the_o

for_o we_o therefore_o when_o as_o we_o know_v our_o own_o infirmity_n let_v we_o pray_v he_o too_o enlighten_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o thing_n which_o

we_o will_v take_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v wise_a than_o his_o fellow_n but_o also_o we_o can_v find_v in_o our_o heart_n to_o acknowledge_v our_o own_o slenderness_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o even_o when_o we_o come_v before_o god_n therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v bring_v low_a and_o to_o be_v warn_v as_o the_o scripture_n do_v it_o that_o we_o must_v not_o go_v about_o to_o comprehend_v

as_o i_o say_v afore_o but_o by_o the_o way_n we_o must_v come_v to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o our_o saviour_n have_v give_v we_o of_o his_o own_o spirit_n whereby_o we_o know_v and_o comprehend_v that_o which_o be_v above_o all_o our_o capacity_n then_o although_o we_o be_v not_o of_o counsel_n with_o god_n yet_o have_v he_o show_v we_o the_o favour_n and_o honour_n to_o disclose_v unto_o we_o that_o which_o be_v unknown_a and_o hide_a from_o we_o how_o be_v that_o there_o be_v none_o that_o know_v

the_o thing_n that_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o and_o pass_v the_o reach_n of_o man_n reason_n it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v know_v all_o that_o be_v in_o he_o for_o we_o must_v hold_v

then_o if_o a_o man_n have_v any_o sudden_a choler_n although_o the_o same_o settle_v not_o in_o his_o heart_n yet_o you_o see_v he_o have_v already_o deserve_v everlasting_a death_n before_o god_n how_o shall_v we_o do_v then_o if_o we_o foster_v deadly_a hatred_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o be_v full_a of_o venomous_a rancour_n to_o be_v revenge_v of_o they_o that_o have_v do_v we_o any_o wrong_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o correct_v this_o vice_n in_o we_o and_o understand_v that_o if_o any_o evil_a word_n have_v escape_v our_o mouth_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o it_o and_o to_o fall_v to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v namely_o that_o the_o sun_n go_v not_o down_o upon_o your_o wrath_n jest_n you_o give_v possession_n unto_o satan_n hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v

let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n hold_v the●_z rein_v of_o the_o bridle_n above_o and_o that_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o have_v we_o so_o afflict_v &_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o

see_v heretofore_o see_v it_o be_v so_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o consider_v that_o when_o the_o prince_n and_o judge_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v wicked_a god_n intend_v too_o give_v a_o great_a gloss_n

be_v no_o cause_n why_o god_n shall_v preserve_v the_o world_n but_o for_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v good_a and_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o move_v by_o any_o

and_o gracious_a goodness_n by_o experience_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o only_a life_n which_o we_o have_v be_v a_o sufficient_a record_n how_o gracious_a and_o merciful_a god_n be_v towards_o we_o and_o that_o although_o we_o be_v handle_v as_o rough_o as_o be_v possible_a so_o as_o we_o do_v but_o pine_v away_o and_o be_v cumber_v with_o continual_a trouble_n and_o adversity_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o be_v convict_v by_o our_o only_a breathe_n that_o god_n make_v we_o to_o feel_v his_o goodness_n and_o why_o for_o we_o live_v not_o but_o in_o he_o and_o by_o he_o and_o if_o

it_o be_v certain_a that_o here_o eliu_n intend_v to_o reprove_v job_n as_o if_o he_o say_v that_o job_n have_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v evil_o teach_v and_o sure_o although_o job_n be_v a_o man_n of_o great_a learning_n yet_o be_v he_o so_o carry_v away_o by_o his_o passion_n as_o he_o be_v in_o manner_n dull_v and_o his_o word_n be_v out_o of_o order_n this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o eliu_n

a_o man_n void_a of_o wit_n &_o be_v report_v to_o have_v be_v excessive_a in_o his_o passion_n yea_o and_o that_o although_o he_o have_v strain_v himself_o to_o repress_v they_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o take_v to_o much_o liberty_n and_o wander_v beastly_a in_o his_o word_n what_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o we_o then_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n too_o prevent_v this_o

we_o in_o the_o end_n suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v reprove_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o why_o for_o if_o job_n who_o be_v a_o angel_n in_o comparison_n of_o we_o be_v not_o spare_v what_o shall_v we_o be_v special_o see_v we_o be_v so_o heady_a and_o unruly_a as_o we_o will_v not_o yield_v in_o any_o one_o point_n which_o we_o be_v enforce_v to_o know_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o

when_o we_o see_v our_o passion_n so_o outrageous_a furthermore_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o general_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v never_o be_v meet_a to_o teach_v except_o he_o do_v with_o all_o

apply_v it_o to_o his_o own_o instruction_n for_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o man_n of_o understanding_n must_v aswell_o hear_v as_o speak_v what_o must_v they_o do_v that_o have_v no_o

have_v full_a scope_n too_o speak_v and_o babble_n and_o make_v other_o man_n hold_v their_o peace_n witless_a folk_n in_o who_o there_o be_v neither_o skill_n discretion_n nor_o judgement_n a_o drunkard_n that_o be_v dull_v with_o his_o gluttony_n insomuch_o that_o when_o he_o rise_v in_o the_o morning_n he_o have_v scarce_o digest_v his_o evenings_n wine_n and_o be_v ready_a by_o and_o by_o too_o go_v to_o a_o tavern_n and_o there_o play_v the_o beast_n all_o day_n and_o the_o double_a beast_n all_o night_n such_o a_o man_n shall_v nowadays_o have_v free_a liberty_n to_o speak_v and_o other_o man_n must_v keep_v silence_n afore_o he_o and_o give_v he_o the_o hear_n and_o how_o be_v that_o full_o shameful_a we_o see_v that_o they_o which_o have_v least_o shame_n have_v most_o liberty_n to_o speak_v and_o as_o for_o such_o as_o be_v man_n of_o understanding_n they_o must_v have_v their_o mouth_n shut_v they_o may_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v bring_v in_o lightheaded_a and_o

in_o the_o world_n and_o of_o a_o sober_a and_o settle_a mind_n yea_o and_o also_o of_o great_a skill_n yet_o be_v it_o certain_a that_o they_o shall_v always_o be_v but_o beast_n if_o they_o have_v not_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n but_o behold_v the_o despiser_n of_o god_n stark_a beast_n drunkard_n and_o glutton_n unthrift_n &_o such_o as_o have_v neither_o honesty_n nor_o shame_n even_o those_o as_o i_o have_v say_v do_v nowadays_o roist_v it_o out_o those_o speak_v what_o they_o listen_v &_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o man_n to_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o quetch_v against_o they_o lo_o at_o what_o point_n we_o be_v and_o again_o as_o for_o to_o be_v hear_v how_o dare_v any_o man_n nowadays_o tell_v other_o man_n their_o fault_n for_o although_o sin_n be_v as_o huge_a as_o mountain_n yet_o may_v no_o man_n see_v they_o if_o a_o man_n say_v how_o now_o aught_v such_o thing_n to_o be_v bear_v withal_o it_o will_v be_v answer_v hah_o what_o be_v it_o we_o see_v it_o not_o you_o wretched_a beast_n if_o you_o have_v no_o eye_n you_o be_v the_o less_o to_o be_v condemn_v but_o you_o be_v sufficient_o convict_v and_o there_o be_v none_o of_o you_o all_o but_o he_o have_v the_o

in_o ure_n where_o it_o be_v say_v let_v wise_a man_n speak_v &_o let_v man_n of_o understanding_n hear_v whereas_o none_o but_o fool_n witless_a folk_n and_o mad_a man_n have_v liberty_n to_o speak_v
