not_o open_v this_o treasure_n to_o man_n no_o man_n can_v have_v take_v the_o fruition_n thereof_o the_o cause_n why_o be_v common_a a_o man_n set_v not_o his_o affection_n on_o that_o he_o know_v

that_o be_v to_o say_v man_n who_o skin_n be_v grow_v again_o or_o man_n without_o skin_n but_o this_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n thereof_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o gospel_n next_o before_n

be_v very_o true_a that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v without_o temptation_n when_o it_o chance_v to_o we_o as_o it_o do_v to_o peter_n to_o labour_v all_o the_o night_n and_o to_o take_v no_o profit_n

thou_o will_v be_v more_o faithful_a unto_o thy_o king_n and_o will_v do_v thy_o office_n with_o more_o diligence_n so_o be_v there_o no_o servant_n in_o any_o house_n so_o far_o past_a shame_n that_o

that_o they_o may_v come_v to_o this_o point_n it_o be_v a_o marvellous_a thing_n what_o these_o monk_n shall_v mean_v when_o they_o will_v serve_v god_n in_o their_o rule_n but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o that_o thing_n be_v want_v in_o they_o that_o be_v the_o chief_a in_o this_o matter_n for_o if_o thou_o demand_v of_o they_o who_o command_v they_o to_o go_v to_o the_o cloister_n they_o

for_o their_o rashness_n it_o be_v even_o as_o much_o as_o if_o i_o shall_v command_v my_o servant_n to_o fetch_v meat_n and_o he_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n make_v ready_o a_o horse_n he_o shall_v
