of_o your_o little_a bitch_n as_o i_o concern_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o my_o dear_a sister_n donna_n francisca_n a_o child_n when_o newborn_a know_v neither_o how_o to_o walk_v eat_v nor_o talk_v yet_o be_v present_o able_a to_o cry_n therefore_o the_o crime_n lie_v not_o in_o that_o we_o mourn_v but_o what_o we_o mourn_v for_o our_o first_o mother_n eve_n lament_v her_o son_n abel_n jacob_n grieve_v for_o joseph_n david_n for_o absalon_n anna_n for_o tobias_n jeremias_n mourn_v over_o jerusalem_n mary_n magdalen_n lament_v her_o sin_n st._n peter_n his_o apostasy_n our_o saviour_n his_o friend_n lazarus_n and_o you_o madam_n mourn_v for_o your_o little_a bitch_n tear_n be_v as_o drop_n of_o blood_n distil_v from_o the_o heart_n through_o the_o eye_n i_o hold_v he_o as_o kind_n that_o shed_v a_o few_o such_o on_o a_o dead_a man_n tomb_n as_o that_o give_v he_o a_o estate_n whilst_o live_v the_o office_n of_o the_o foot_n be_v to_o walk_v of_o the_o tongue_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o hand_n to_o work_n but_o of_o the_o heart_n only_o to_o mourn_v for_o the_o eye_n be_v but_o as_o it_o be_v limbeck_n that_o distil_v tear_n from_o thence_o and_o as_o it_o be_v grief_n be_v lock_v up_o in_o the_o very_a centre_n of_o the_o body_n it_o can_v neither_o make_v use_n of_o the_o hand_n nor_o foot_n but_o the_o tongue_n must_v declare_v its_o wrong_n and_o the_o eye_n demonstrate_v its_o misery_n we_o may_v be_v confirm_v by_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o heart_n for_o if_o the_o one_o do_v not_o mourn_v the_o other_o will_v never_o weep_v i_o say_v this_o madam_n that_o you_o must_v needs_o love_v that_o spaniel_n exceed_o well_o since_o you_o have_v show_v so_o great_a concern_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o it_o for_o to_o consider_v a_o thing_n one_o either_o love_n or_o hate_v regard_n must_v rather_o be_v have_v to_o the_o eye_n than_o tongue_n for_o this_o can_v only_o reveal_v what_o we_o common_o think_v when_o tear_n discover_v the_o deep_a affection_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o word_n may_v be_v feign_v but_o drop_v from_o our_o heart_n must_v be_v sincere_a what_o man_n common_o say_v of_o woman_n that_o their_o tear_n be_v fictitious_a be_v not_o true_a but_o nevertheless_o they_o may_v weep_v for_o one_o thing_n and_o say_v they_o do_v it_o for_o another_o but_o to_o cry_v in_o jest_n be_v neither_o in_o their_o power_n nor_o ought_v any_o body_n to_o believe_v it_o to_o lament_v for_o one_o thing_n and_o pretend_v it_o for_o another_o i_o neither_o commend_v nor_o condemn_v for_o in_o a_o generous_a and_o brave_a soul_n nothing_o ought_v to_o be_v more_o conceal_v than_o what_o we_o love_v most_o i_o think_v fit_v to_o say_v this_o in_o defence_n of_o your_o sigh_n and_o to_o favour_v your_o tear_n both_o which_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v you_o bestow_v with_o less_o devotion_n than_o affection_n since_o i_o be_o inform_v your_o fever_n do_v not_o at_o all_o increase_n and_o yet_o you_o still_o keep_v your_o bed_n to_o confess_v the_o truth_n madam_n i_o do_v wonder_v you_o lament_v but_o be_o offend_v at_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o since_o it_o will_v be_v more_o both_o for_o your_o honour_n and_o interest_n to_o mourn_v your_o sin_n than_o the_o death_n of_o a_o trifle_a mongrel_n you_o be_v descend_v from_o so_o noble_a a_o family_n and_o have_v the_o character_n of_o so_o good_a a_o liver_n great_a a_o estate_n beauteous_a complexion_n and_o wise_a conversation_n i_o can_v have_v patience_n to_o see_v you_o fix_v your_o love_n so_o low_a as_o upon_o a_o despicable_a bitch_n for_o a_o plato_n prudent_o say_v such_o be_v the_o lover_n oftentimes_o as_o be_v the_o belove_a love_n be_v of_o so_o great_a force_n that_o both_o party_n common_o become_v alike_o by_o its_o power_n so_o if_o i_o love_v a_o rational_a creature_n i_o be_o rational_a but_o if_o a_o brute_n a_o brute_n whence_o we_o may_v infer_v you_o do_v not_o at_o all_o differ_v in_o this_o from_o your_o lap_n dog_n i_o have_v be_v much_o ashamed_a i_o can_v almost_o say_v angry_a at_o this_o action_n of_o you_o which_o have_v not_o only_o be_v admire_v at_o by_o many_o but_o also_o complain_v of_o by_o a_o great_a number_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v they_o have_v reason_n for_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o place_v our_o affection_n but_o only_o where_o it_o may_v be_v both_o well_o employ_v and_o well_o receive_v the_o best_a part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v the_o heart_n and_o the_o best_a affection_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v love_n therefore_o if_o this_o be_v not_o advantageous_o bestow_v the_o person_n must_v be_v very_o unhappy_a that_o admit_v it_o it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v ever_o know_v how_o to_o live_v that_o know_v not_o how_o to_o love_n also_o i_o can_v imagine_v what_o pleasure_n you_o can_v take_v in_o love_v such_o a_o creature_n or_o what_o return_v it_o can_v make_v you_o unless_o it_o be_v to_o fill_v your_o clothes_n with_o hair_n dirty_a your_o room_n sleep_v upon_o your_o squab_n load_n you_o with_o flea_n trouble_v you_o to_o wash_v she_o frequent_o in_o summer_n and_o lie_v upon_o your_o petticoat_n all_o the_o winter_n steal_v when_o you_o be_v out_o of_o sight_n and_o snarl_v at_o the_o maid_n for_o chide_v at_o her_o beastliness_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o you_o do_v not_o content_v yourself_o with_o give_v she_o the_o best_a bit_n out_o of_o your_o mouth_n and_o furnish_v she_o with_o wrought_v collar_n and_o silver_n bell_n but_o will_v also_o take_v it_o extreme_o ill_a if_o any_o offer_v either_o to_o strike_v or_o steal_v she_o so_o that_o she_o be_v both_o troublesome_a to_o you_o and_o a_o plague_n to_o every_o body_n else_o of_o you_o two_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o be_v great_a the_o bitch_n fortune_n in_o be_v so_o well_o belove_v or_o your_o misfortune_n in_o dote_v on_o so_o inconsiderable_a a_o animal_n nevertheless_o i_o be_o satisfy_v to_o keep_v a_o monkey_n dog_n cat_n parrot_n or_o thrush_n have_v no_o harm_n in_o itself_o so_o long_o as_o we_o employ_v our_o eye_n only_o to_o observe_v the_o one_o and_o our_o ear_n to_o hear_v the_o other_o sing_v but_o the_o heart_n be_v never_o to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o on_o so_o contemptible_a a_o occasion_n to_o make_v so_o much_o ado_n about_o a_o worthless_a bitch_n be_v neither_o the_o part_n of_o a_o gentlewoman_n nor_o christian_a for_o a_o christian_n tear_n must_v rather_o be_v employ_v for_o offence_n than_o loss_n if_o the_o death_n of_o your_o little_a bitch_n and_o the_o merit_n of_o your_o life_n be_v to_o

ought_v to_o take_v amiss_o because_o we_o be_v both_o sensible_a of_o what_o we_o lose_v but_o not_o enough_o concern_v for_o the_o sin_n we_o commit_v it_o be_v much_o great_a reason_n you_o shall_v remember_v god_n that_o make_v you_o than_o a_o bitch_n that_o die_v with_o you_o since_o god_n give_v you_o a_o soul_n to_o enjoy_v and_o a_o understanding_n to_o know_v he_o but_o your_o triflng_n favourite_n have_v nothing_o but_o a_o tongue_n to_o bark_v at_o you_o and_o tooth_n to_o bite_v you_o the_o great_a concern_v you_o ought_v to_o have_v for_o your_o bitch_n be_v because_o you_o do_v not_o give_v she_o a_o honourable_a burial_n by_o call_v the_o frier-mendicants_a to_o your_o assistance_n for_o than_o she_o may_v have_v have_v the_o advantage_n both_o of_o their_o absolution_n

of_o these_o passage_n you_o will_v soon_o have_v bu●ied_v your_o bitch_n with_o the_o like_a pomp_n though_o to_o tell_v you_o truth_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n you_o do_v worse_a to_o shed_v so_o
