¶_o a_o brefe_a exhortation_n set_v fourthe_o by_o the_o unprofitable_a servant_n of_o jesu_n christ_n paul_n bush_n late_a bishop_n of_o brystowe_n to_o one_o margarete_n burges_n wife_n to_o john_n burges_n clotheare_n of_o kyngeswode_n in_o the_o county_n of_o wilshere_n a_o exhortation_n dear_o belove_a sister_n in_o chryste_n at_o our_o late_a be_v together_o in_o our_o very_a worshyppeful_a friend_n house_n in_o the_o county_n of_o gloucester_n at_o a_o supper_n meal_n with_o diverse_a other_o of_o worthy_a reputation_n which_o be_v the_o first_o and_o last_o time_n that_o ever_o i_o see_v you_o or_o speak_v with_o you_o and_o that_o time_n and_o there_o by_o occasyon_n as_o we_o sit_v at_o the_o table_n if_o you_o call_v to_o your_o memory_n we_o entrede_v into_o a_o little_a talk_n and_o afterward_o continue_v the_o same_o stand_v at_o a_o wyndow_n which_o talk_v albeit_o it_o be_v but_o brief_a and_o short_a yet_o the_o same_o as_o our_o lord_n know_v be_v more_o than_o enough_o to_o declare_v to_o i_o not_o only_o your_o high_a pretend_a knowledge_n but_o also_o your_o much_o ignorance_n which_o i_o do_v not_o a_o little_a in_o my_o heart_n lament_v for_o i_o perceyve_v you_o have_v to_o little_a knowledge_n and_o to_o much_o ignorance_n for_o in_o very_a deed_n for_o lack_v of_o the_o virtue_n of_o mekenes_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o teach_v all_o goodness_n it_o appear_v that_o blind_a ignorance_n permyxte_v with_o arrogancye_n have_v great_o overwhelm_v your_o sense_n much_o like_o as_o the_o obfusked_a and_o dark_a cloud_n of_o

play_v with_o they_o much_o like_o as_o do_v the_o miller_n with_o his_o horse_n that_o drawee_v his_o mille_fw-la for_o when_o he_o have_v make_v his_o horse_n blind_a that_o he_o can_v not_o see_v

travail_n and_o even_o thus_o fare_v the_o devyll_n with_o the_o weak_a and_o feeble_a chrystyan_n for_o when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o gryende_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o his_o devylleshe_n mill_v of_o scismaticall_a and_o heretycall_a doctrine_n than_o because_o the_o weak_a and_o feeble_a chrystian_n shall_v not_o perceyve_v the_o fine_a meal_n of_o god_n word_n from_o the_o rough_a and_o
