stint yourself and everybody belonging you-<
to be the friend Of no man, and have no man

and despised for some twenty or thirty years

disappointment. And when pretty nearly
enough wealth is collected, by disregard Of
all the charities of'the human heart, ana IL
the expense Of every enjoyment, death Gomez
