yet_o do_v not_o think_v they_o be_v so_o neyghe_a nor_o so_o sore_o against_o we_o but_o when_o they_o here_o any_o speak_n of_o the_o devylle_n they_o imagine_v he_o a_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o mile_n of_o from_o us._n and_o so_o by_o reason_n we_o do_v not_o know_v nor_o consider_v how_o nyghe_a and_o ready_a the_o devyll_n be_v against_o we_o at_o all_o time_n ne_o can_v not_o perceive_v so_o well_o the_o great_a benefit_n which_o god_n shewyth_o to_o we_o by_o his_o angel_n like_a as_o he_o which_o never_o feel_v death_n nor_o taste_v the_o bytternes_n thereof_o can_v tell_v how_o precious_a and_o sweet_a be_v life_n and_o as_o he_o which_o never_o feel_v hunger_n can_v not_o iuge_a how_o good_a and_o precious_a a_o thing_n be_v breed_v nor_o can_v esteem_v the_o
