so_o great_a plenty_n and_o variety_n of_o thing_n may_v be_v refresh_v and_o therefore_o be_v the_o one_o only_a book_n of_o the_o psalm_n before_o all_o other_o think_v worthy_a to_o be_v learn_v

of_o life_n and_o conversation_n wherefore_o even_o they_o also_o be_v wont_a that_o abstain_v from_o other_o book_n of_o holy_a scripture_n not_o unwilling_o to_o exercise_v themselves_o in_o read_v

and_o the_o whole_a year_n consist_v of_o two_o &_o fifty_o week_n &_o one_o day_n if_o therefore_o thou_o be_v dispose_v to_o read_v over_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n once_o in_o a_o year_n space_n thou_o shall_v read_v every_o week_n three_o psalm_n so_o shall_v there_o remain_v two_o week_n to_o spare_v or_o if_o thou_o will_v thou_o may_v peruse_v only_o two_o psalm_n in_o every_o of_o the_o

thou_o shall_v perceive_v fifteen_o psalm_n to_o be_v keep_v in_o store_n to_o the_o last_o week_n last_o of_o all_o when_o thou_o shall_v be_v mind_v to_o read_v over_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n four_o time_n in_o a_o year_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o thou_o read_v every_o week_n eleven_o psalm_n and_o in_o every_o of_o the_o four_o last_o week_n fifteen_o psalm_n and_o so_o there_o will_v

once_o in_o a_o year_n space_n and_o there_o shall_v remain_v two_o day_n only_o to_o spare_v and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a easy_a matter_n to_o dispatch_v the_o read_n of_o fifteen_o chapter_n if_o in_o some_o one_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o thou_o repeat_v three_o chapter_n and_o in_o every_o of_o the_o rest_n twain_o who_o be_v he_o therefore_o that_o can_v just_o complain_v that_o he_o
