too_o little_a a_o medium_fw-la betwixt_o both_o be_v certain_o the_o best_a and_o even_o then_o there_o be_v enough_o to_o be_v do_v and_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o to_o be_v suffer_v abatement_n

of_o this_o we_o see_v the_o ruin_n of_o many_o family_n who_o be_v a_o grievous_a scandal_n to_o their_o own_o domestic_n whilst_o they_o live_v together_o and_o a_o great_a to_o the_o whole_a

to_o marry_a people_n that_o the_o state_n wherein_o they_o engage_v be_v true_o honourable_a and_o that_o god_n himself_o his_o virgin-mother_n and_o disciple_n be_v please_v to_o honour_v it_o

the_o seed_n not_o only_o their_o growth_n be_v early_o but_o quick_a and_o more_o natural_a the_o corruption_n of_o our_o heart_n be_v like_o the_o rankness_n of_o a_o soil_n to_o which_o they_o
