and_o make_v for_o their_o edification_n to_o publish_v those_o thing_n i_o be_o not_o against_o it_o but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v set_v forth_o only_o with_o this_o caution_n that_o you_o mention_v

this_o that_o when_o you_o have_v compile_v this_o book_n you_o deliver_v it_o to_o no_o body_n in_o this_o city_n to_o read_v lest_o peradventure_o they_o shall_v apprehend_v it_o to_o be_v i_o but_o rather_o carry_v it_o away_o with_o you_o into_o your_o country_n final_o the_o master_n have_v many_o other_o good_a discourse_n with_o his_o layick_a for_o eleven_o day_n together_o even_o to_o

some_o of_o your_o brethren_n begin_v as_o it_o be_v to_o doubt_v of_o you_o and_o true_o i_o fear_v lest_o your_o severe_a end_n have_v offend_v some_o of_o they_o to_o which_o the_o voice_n of_o

a_o plentiful_a reward_n for_o that_o pain_n and_o torment_v for_o as_o soon_o as_o my_o soul_n be_v go_v out_o of_o my_o body_n it_o be_v receive_v by_o the_o holy_a angel_n who_o bring_v it_o into_o
