&_o for_o the_o which_o you_o have_v learned_a to_o despise_v the_o vanity_n of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o settle_v your_o hart_n altogether_o upon_o the_o inestimable_a treasure_n of_o the_o

the_o wicked_a even_o in_o this_o life_n but_o i_o have_v do_v that_o because_o that_o according_a to_o my_o opinion_n the_o felicity_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o ill_a hap_n of_o the_o other_o which_o be_v incomprehensible_a unto_o we_o in_o this_o life_n be_v more_o lively_o represent_v unto_o we_o by_o such_o holy_a circumlocution_n or_o example_n now_o madam_n i_o humble_o beseech_v
