which_o we_o may_v judge_v that_o with_o one_o equal_a weight_n or_o measure_n he_o be_v poise_v the_o love_n which_o god_o bear_v too_o we_o and_o the_o service_n which_o we_o do_v to_o he_o but_o as_o idleness_n be_v the_o enemy_n of_o virtue_n and_o the_o very_a train_n to_o all_o wickedness_n it_o happen_v that_o david_n be_v in_o his_o palace_n well_o dispose_v of_o his_o person_n and_o

whereby_o prince_n may_v see_v that_o more_o punishment_n do_v they_o deserve_v for_o the_o evil_a example_n they_o show_v then_o for_o the_o vice_n they_o commit_v for_o it_o have_v not_o happen_v
