and_o the_o attendance_n upon_o his_o duty_n this_o i_o confess_v to_o one_o who_o think_v it_o always_o common_a and_o easy_a for_o man_n to_o talk_v like_o philosopher_n but_o rare_a and_o

engage_v man_n wish_n at_o least_o and_o affection_n in_o his_o favour_n insomuch_o that_o he_o i_o believe_v be_v one_o of_o those_o few_o who_o any_o addition_n of_o good_a fortune_n give_v a_o
