answer_v first_o it_o never_o or_o seldom_o fall_v out_o that_o any_o man_n be_v general_o devest_v of_o all_o benefit_n but_o most_o if_o this_o or_o that_o be_v want_v he_o be_v supply_v in_o some_o

what_o he_o be_v destitute_a of_o but_o what_o he_o possess_v and_o so_o put_v sorrow_n to_o flight_n he_o will_v rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n second_o put_v case_n god_n have_v not_o bestow_v upon_o thou_o any_o of_o the_o abovementioned_a benefit_n but_o lade_v thou_o with_o the_o repugnant_a evil_n yet_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o he_o have_v confer_v upon_o thou_o no_o less_o

have_v receive_v and_o do_v yet_o enjoy_v but_o it_o be_v a_o lamentable_a thing_n to_o see_v that_o common_a benefit_n be_v not_o value_v but_o slight_v by_o fool_n which_o derogate_v nothing_o from_o their_o excellency_n since_o it_o be_v usual_a that_o the_o most_o precious_a and_o excel_v ent_a thing_n as_o be_v daily_o obvious_a be_v despise_v or_o at_o least_o not_o regard_v what_o be_v

now_o sorrow_n be_v inherent_a in_o the_o mind_n and_o not_o in_o the_o body_n the_o plaster_n therefore_o be_v to_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o part_n ill_o affect_v and_o where_o the_o enemy_n lurk_v
