and_o shift_v falsehood_n the_o first_o difference_n about_o true_a deal_n &_o falsehood_n discover_v almost_o in_o every_o leaf_n of_o the_o former_a encounter_n which_o be_v a_o difference_n of_o somuch_o quality_n as_o whersoever_o it_o be_v find_v on_o the_o worse_a part_n it_o ought_v great_o to_o move_v and_o make_v deep_a impression_n in_o the_o reader_n that_o be_v careful_a of_o his_o own_o salvation_n for_o that_o the_o matter_n in_o controversy_n concern_v true_a faith_n be_v of_o the_o high_a importance_n that_o may_v be_v to_o our_o soul_n and_o everlasting_a good_a or_o hurt_n every_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v attent_a &_o whersoever_o he_o find_v falsehood_n or_o deceit_n to_o be_v wilful_o and_o purposely_o intend_v and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v excuse_v by_o error_n or_o ignorance_n or_o heat_n of_o speech_n or_o other_o like_o infirmity_n there_o he_o ought_v to_o stay_v his_o foot_n &_o stand_v fast_o and_o not_o to_o pass_v further_o without_o firm_a resolution_n

as_o charge_v to_o my_o remembrance_n and_o much_o less_o convince_v of_o any_o one_o such_o wilful_a falsification_n as_o before_o i_o have_v allege_v and_o that_o both_o the_o knight_n and_o

themselves_o here_o hence_o i_o do_v infer_v that_o it_o import_v exceed_o every_o wise_a and_o discreet_a reader_n to_o remember_v well_o this_o difference_n another_o difference_n also_o there_o
