he_o can_v not_o endure_v to_o read_v any_o thing_n over_o slight_o but_o whatsoever_o he_o read_v he_o dwell_v upon_o it_o labour_v to_o understand_v it_o thorough_o and_o remember_v it_o and_o what_o he_o can_v not_o understand_v he_o will_v oft_o ask_v his_o father_n or_o mother_n the_o meaning_n of_o 10._o when_o any_o christian_a friend_n have_v be_v discourse_v with_o his_o father_n

question_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v go_v he_o will_v let_v his_o father_n know_v that_o there_o be_v little_o say_v or_o do_v but_o he_o observe_v it_o and_o will_v reflect_v upon_o what_o be_v pass_v in_o their_o discourse_n and_o desire_v satisfaction_n in_o what_o he_o can_v not_o understand_v at_o present_a 12._o he_o be_v a_o boy_n of_o almost_o prodigious_a part_n for_o his_o
