to_o this_o good_a desire_n which_o be_v beget_v in_o i_o by_o the_o lord_n i_o do_v love_n to_o wirte_n sermon_n &_o to_o hear_v the_o best_a of_o teacher_n as_o i_o think_v then_o which_o i_o have_v

to_o this_o purpose_n which_o write_v some_o of_o my_o neighbour_n at_o that_o time_n do_v see_v as_o i_o show_v it_o to_o they_o so_o he_o confess_v these_o be_v good_a desire_n and_o can_v say_v
