for_o they_o keep_v not_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o jesus_n christ_n send_v unto_o they_o and_o further_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o what_o the_o sultan_n tell_v i_o upon_o &_o day_n in_o his_o chamber_n shut_v out_o all_o other_o man_n as_o lord_n knight_n and_o other_o for_o he_o will_v speak_v with_o i_o in_o counsel_n and_o then_o he_o ask_v i_o how_o christian_n

how_o to_o clothe_v they_o now_o short_a now_o long_o now_o straight_o now_o wide_a and_o of_o all_o fashion_n whereas_o they_o shall_v be_v humble_a and_o meek_a give_v their_o alm_n as_o jesus_n christ_n do_v in_o who_o they_o believe_v he_o say_v also_o that_o they_o be_v so_o covetous_a that_o for_o a_o little_a money_n they_o will_v sell_v their_o child_n sister_n or_o wife_n one_o man_n take_v another_o man_n wife_n and_o no_o man_n keep_v his_o promise_n therefore_o say_v he_o for_o their_o sin_n have_v god_n give_v these_o land_n to_o our_o hand_n and_o not_o through_o our_o strength_n but_o all_o for_o your_o sin_n for_o we_o know_v certain_o that_o while_o you_o true_o serve_v god_n he_o will_v help_v you_o so_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v win_v of_o you_o if_o that_o

ask_v he_o how_o he_o know_v the_o state_n of_o christian_n in_o that_o manner_n and_o he_o say_v that_o he_o know_v well_o the_o state_n both_o of_o lord_n and_o of_o commons_o by_o his_o messenger_n
