providence_n be_v it_o one_o of_o the_o destiny_n or_o some_o goddess_n superior_a to_o they_o as_o their_o queen_n jupiter_n i_o tell_v thou_o before_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o thou_o to_o know_v

be_v but_o the_o wimble_n and_o axe_n of_o the_o destiny_n in_o reason_n therefore_o man_n shall_v sacrifice_v to_o fate_n and_o thence_o implore_v benefit_n and_o not_o make_v their_o address_n to_o you_o or_o strive_v to_o render_v you_o propitious_a by_o veneration_n and_o honour_n nay_o in_o strictness_n they_o ought_v not_o to_o adore_v fate_n for_o i_o suppose_v it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o

cyniscus_n the_o foreknowledge_n of_o future_a event_n jupiter_n be_v utter_o fruitless_a if_o by_o observation_n they_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v avoid_v unless_o you_o hold_v that_o one_o
