depend_v all_o only_a in_o my_o domination_n through_o the_o world_n my_o wheel_v do_v extend_v as_o reason_n do_v right_a well_o comprehend_v of_o my_o great_a chance_n which_o be_v unsure_a as_o daily_o do_v appear_v well_o in_o ure_n if_o i_o shall_v work_v with_o perfect_a steadfastness_n as_o to_o exalt_v some_o to_o be_v honourable_a and_o that_o they_o know_v by_o perfect_a sykerne_n that_o it_o shall_v dure_v and_o not_o be_v variable_a it_o be_v a_o thing_n unto_o i_o culpable_a for_o great_a orguel_v pride_n shall_v they_o so_o blind_a to_o know_v themselves_o they_o shall_v

be_v a_o cause_n of_o great_a iniquity_n for_o scotfree_a man_n good_n i_o must_v oft_o translate_v unto_o the_o poor_a they_o for_o to_o elevate_v and_o three_o i_o shall_v lose_v my_o name_n for_o

up_o so_o down_o labour_n in_o work_n which_o be_v unstable_a on_o some_o to_o laugh_v &_o on_o some_o i_o must_v frown_v thus_o all_o about_o in_o every_o realm_n and_o town_n i_o show_v my_o power_n in_o every_o sundry_a wise_a some_o to_o descend_v and_o on_o some_o to_o arise_v wherefore_o my_o power_n do_v right_o well_o excel_v above_o the_o mars_n in_o thy_o house_n enclose_v for_o to_o
