ten_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o year_n with_o quietness_n and_o pleasure_n by_o the_o grace_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o the_o german_n have_v a_o proverb_n there_o be_v many_o evelles_fw-la in_o one_o good_a hour_n what_o ought_v we_o to_o do_v we_o that_o have_v receive_v so_o long_a rest_n and_o so_o many_o good_a hour_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v a_o little_a evel_a one_o poor_a

which_o be_v a_o sovereign_a pleasure_n as_o they_o say_v to_o other_o glory_n power_n principality_n good_a renown_n favour_n honour_n and_o other_o like_o thing_n the_o which_o though_o they_o be_v give_v we_o to_o pleasure_n in_o either_o long_a time_n or_o short_a yet_o they_o geve_v we_o to_o understand_v how_o we_o shall_v behave_v ourselves_o in_o small_a evelles_fw-la when_o they_o come_v but_o the_o good_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v much_o more_o excellent_a than_o all_o these_o aforesaid_a as_o understanding_n judgement_n facundity_n knowledge_n prudence_n or_o wisdom_n now_o our_o good_a god_n do_v moderate_v the_o equality_n of_o his_o administration_n in_o these_o good_n aswell_o as_o in_o the_o other_o so_o that_o he_o do_v not_o prefer_v the_o one_o before_o the_o other_o for_o in_o steed_n of_o these_o good_n which_o lack_v to_o some_o he_o geve_v more_o courage_n or_o more_o rest_n or_o great_a tranquillity_n now_o in_o all_o these_o thing_n we_o must_v consider_v the_o great_a liberality_n of_o god_n with_o thankesgeve_a and_o comfort_v our_o infirmity_n so_o that_o we_o do_v not_o dismay_v in_o ourselves_o although_o in_o this_o multitude_n of_o excellent_a

to_o eat_v nothing_o but_o sweet_a thing_n and_o do_v continue_v with_o the_o same_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n intolerable_a so_o that_o it_o be_v well_o say_v of_o some_o that_o say_v all_o pleasure_n

so_o strong_a that_o it_o may_v bear_v the_o only_a use_n of_o good_n and_o pleasure_n without_o some_o temperature_n of_o evelles_fw-la mix_v therewith_o from_o thence_o come_v this_o proverb_n that_o the_o bone_n ought_v to_o be_v strong_a which_o shall_v bear_v all_o their_o day_n in_o wealth_n and_o prosperity_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o have_v well_o consider_v this_o proverb_n and_o oftentimes_o and_o i_o maruail_v of_o the_o sentence_n which_o contain_v so_o effectual_a truth_n for_o there_o be_v in_o man_n certain_z destres_z which_o do_v repugn_v the_o one_o against_o the_o other_o the_o which_o seek_v but_o good_a day_n and_o nevertheless_o when_o they_o have_v that_o they_o most_o desire_v they_o can_v less_o suffer_v it_o then_o if_o they_o have_v evel_a day_n for_o

from_o whence_o come_v it_o then_o that_o we_o do_v not_o accept_v willing_o this_o temperature_n send_v of_o god_n for_o when_o he_o do_v not_o send_v it_o our_o life_n which_o can_v not_o bear_v the_o voluptuous_a pleasure_n of_o prosperity_n will_v call_v or_o desire_v it_o of_o his_o own_o proper_a accord_n by_o this_o mean_n we_o see_v how_o true_a it_o be_v that_o solomon_n say_v of_o
