such_o other_o like_o sect_n the_o several_a discourse_n whereof_o i_o think_v i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o recommend_v unto_o your_o memory_n by_o any_o new_a repetition_n neither_o do_v the_o time_n suffer_v it_o this_o only_a now_o rest_v oh_o you_o judge_n and_o justice_n and_o the_o residue_n that_o be_v here_o assemble_v together_o to_o this_o present_a session_n the_o you_o have_v a_o good_a care_n as_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o you_o have_v for_o the_o speedy_a redress_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v amiss_o but_o special_o of_o discord_n and_o dissension_n which_o wheresoever_o it_o be_v there_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o amiss_o for_o it_o be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o evil_a and_o the_o spring_n of_o all_o mischief_n wherefore_o apply_v yourselves_o i_o beseech_v you_o every_o man_n in_o your_o order_n and_o degree_n to_o the_o appease_n of_o controversy_n and_o strife_n labour_n what_o you_o can_v to_o alley_n discord_n and_o dissension_n in_o all_o manner_n of_o

the_o annoyance_n of_o your_o temporal_a state_n but_o this_o extend_v to_o the_o loss_n of_o eternal_a life_n there_o be_v a_o great_a odds_n therefore_o between_o these_o two_o both_o be_v to_o be_v regard_v but_o yet_o the_o one_o be_v to_o be_v prefer_v above_o the_o other_o so_o much_o as_o gold_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v above_o silver_n so_o much_o as_o the_o soul_n above_o the_o body_n as_o

your_o house_n here_o on_o earth_n nor_o your_o good_n nor_o your_o land_n nor_o your_o live_n nor_o your_o life_n for_o these_o be_v the_o temporal_a gift_n of_o god_n yea_o &_o good_a gift_n of_o
