for_o recreation_n and_o diversion_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v inoffensive_a and_o yet_o in_o a_o bedrol_n of_o sin_n enumerate_v by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n i_o find_v they_o mention_v with_o a_o

therefore_o make_v use_n of_o the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n as_o i_o will_v do_v of_o the_o picture_n in_o this_o gallery_n walk_v by_o they_o and_o look_v upon_o they_o with_o a_o transient_a

of_o the_o world_n which_o vain_a man_n so_o much_o admire_v and_o be_v so_o inveigle_v with_o but_o at_o the_o best_a in_o their_o native_a favour_n deceitful_a and_o vain_a and_o thus_o far_o
