and_o therefore_o if_o we_o keep_v not_o a_o strong_a guard_n upon_o all_o our_o passion_n if_o we_o pray_v not_o daily_o for_o the_o assistance_n of_o divine_a grace_n and_o for_o the_o conduct_n

they_o will_v as_o certain_o destroy_v the_o life_n of_o godliness_n as_o the_o plague_n will_v destroy_v the_o body_n for_o without_o that_o sovereign_a antidote_n of_o assist_v and_o confirm_v

let_v we_o not_o flatter_v ourselves_o for_o that_o government_n or_o body_n politic_a who_o head_n and_o member_n be_v unsound_a and_o sickly_a must_v needs_o be_v near_o its_o grave_a its_o ruin_n

all_o possible_a justice_n to_o the_o memory_n of_o this_o decease_a hero_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o we_o consider_v he_o in_o all_o his_o quality_n first_o as_o he_o descend_v from_o the_o loin_n of_o a_o honourable_a family_n a_o family_n as_o ancient_a as_o most_o in_o the_o north_n of_o england_n but_o that_o which_o make_v it_o the_o more_o illustrious_a be_v that_o it_o have_v not_o

the_o more_o win_v and_o oblige_v and_o in_o every_o step_n of_o honour_n the_o king_n be_v please_v to_o advance_v he_o to_o he_o behave_v himself_o in_o all_o respect_n as_o a_o brave_a and_o
