What shall I say? I could spend my self in this ⟨p. 69⟩argument. Oh that you would but hearken to me! that you would presently set upon a new course! will you not be made clean? When shall it once be? What! will no body be persuaded? Reader, shall I prevail with thee for one?

Wilt thou fit still, till the tide come in upon thee?
