reflect_v on_o what_o other_o endure_v and_o it_o be_v a_o alleviation_n of_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o this_o life_n that_o we_o have_v fellow-sufferer_n and_o no_o man_n can_v say_v he_o endure_v alone_o lxix_o shame_n and_o fear_n be_v careful_a and_o faithful_a enough_o in_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o good_n of_o this_o life_n shame_n have_v great_a power_n over_o the_o spirit_n of_o

be_v reduce_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o all_o necessity_n how_o will_v you_o have_v a_o man_n to_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n of_o have_v some_o good_a when_o he_o have_v lose_v hope_n which_o be_v the_o
