no_o more_o poor_a miserable_a wretch_n there_o be_v once_o a_o time_n when_o honour_n dignity_n &_o title_n recommend_v they_o to_o the_o admire_a world_n who_o eye_n be_v dazzle_v with_o the_o

they_o abound_v in_o the_o overflow_a measure_n of_o their_o wealth_n their_o palace_n be_v sumptuous_a and_o all_o thing_n suitable_a to_o the_o aspire_a height_n of_o their_o ambition_n but_o now_o no_o more_o their_o great_a magnificence_n be_v bury_v in_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o world_n their_o gold_n &_o silver_n melt_v down_o into_o the_o earth_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v and_o all_o their_o pride_n lie_v level_v with_o the_o common_a dust_n to_o which_o all_o thing_n return_v there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o all_o the_o sinful_a pleasure_n of_o the_o world_n attend_v they_o when_o they_o deny_v their_o passion_n nothing_o that_o they_o ask_v when_o they_o have_v full_a command_n of_o all_o that_o they_o desire_v &_o rather_o cloy_v than_o satisfy_v their_o brutal_a appetite_n

those_o who_o have_v in_o this_o offend_v he_o it_o be_v enough_o that_o god_n be_v certain_o as_o just_a as_o he_o be_v god_n &_o therefore_o infinite_o just_o it_o be_v enough_o that_o the_o enormity_n of_o sin_n which_o he_o so_o patient_o endure_v be_v aggravate_v by_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o majesty_n &_o therefore_o infinite_o infinite_a it_o follow_v evident_o hence_o that_o
