that_o he_o be_v engage_v for_o his_o truth_n more_o than_o you_o you_o indeed_o have_v your_o life_n and_o estate_n to_o lose_v but_o god_n have_v his_o honour_n and_o his_o truth_n to_o lose_v which_o be_v more_o than_o all_o the_o world_n how_o will_v you_o ever_o answer_v it_o if_o god_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v say_v he_o put_v a_o opportunity_n into_o your_o hand_n

o_o my_o england_n sin_n i_o speak_v not_o this_o in_o any_o spirit_n of_o discontent_n but_o rather_o of_o joy_n see_v those_o cluster_n of_o grape_n you_o have_v already_o bring_v we_o from_o the_o
