at_o this_o present_a time_n for_o i_o see_v daily_o that_o nature_n do_v grow_v more_o perverse_a than_o other_o for_o those_o which_o a_o man_n will_v esteem_v to_o be_v most_o civil_a be_v most_o

than_o he_o will_v lose_v any_o part_n of_o his_o reputation_n he_o will_v boast_v of_o the_o same_o to_o make_v man_n believe_v that_o be_v ignorant_a of_o his_o state_n that_o he_o be_v some_o

use_v any_o thing_n long_o will_v make_v his_o reputation_n fall_v and_o consume_v his_o substance_n though_o it_o be_v but_o small_a than_o he_o must_v be_v drive_v of_o mere_a necessity_n to_o go_v borrow_v money_n of_o some_o of_o his_o familiar_a acquaintance_n and_o when_o he_o have_v borrow_v the_o same_o money_n he_o will_v never_o rest_n till_o the_o die_n have_v leave_v none_o and_o thus_o he_o will_v and_o must_v make_v shift_n to_o maintain_v his_o gaminge_n now_o the_o time_n draw_v on_o that_o he_o must_v pay_v his_o creditor_n the_o money_n which_o he_o borrow_v and_o he_o have_v it_o not_o to_o pay_v then_o must_v he_o sell_v his_o land_n or_o his_o good_n to_o pay_v it_o or_o else_o must_v go_v to_o prison_n and_o because_o that_o he_o will_v not_o seem_v so_o to_o be_v desame_v by_o imprisonment_n he_o will_v sell_v that_o which_o be_v worth_a a_o hundred_o pound_n for_o four_o score_n and_o thus_o he_o must_v do_v if_o he_o frequent_v himself_o in_o exercise_n of_o such_o unseemly_a gaminge_n then_o of_o force_n he_o must_v be_v constrain_v to_o make_v shift_n for_o money_n one_o way_n or_o other_o some_o will_v day_n use_v a_o kind_n of_o dissimulation_n to_o cloak_n matter_n covert_o and_o will_v cog_v and_o foist_a and_o addulate_v a_o matter_n to_o gain_v by_o and_o other_o some_o still_o go_v play_v the_o roystinge_a rover_n and_o watch_v quick_a

their_o estate_n now_o if_o that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o any_o reputation_n and_o thus_o in_o superfluity_n have_v spend_v his_o substance_n then_o will_v he_o crouch_v and_o creep_v to_o his_o
