duty_n in_o our_o vocation_n and_o calling_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o regard_v that_o we_o neither_o corrupt_v our_o body_n with_o riot_n and_o surfeit_v for_o we_o ought_v to_o eat_v and_o drink_v so_o much_o that_o our_o power_n and_o strength_n may_v be_v refresh_v and_o not_o oppress_v nor_o yet_o that_o we_o do_v not_o enervate_v &_o weaken_v the_o same_o with_o over_o much_o abstinence_n
