into_o my_o body_n begin_v always_o to_o observe_v till_o such_o time_n as_o i_o give_v up_o my_o ghost_n upon_o the_o cross_n all_o the_o pain_n which_o i_o be_v to_o endure_v and_o whatsoever_o

all_o this_o i_o suffer_v in_o the_o inferior_a faculty_n of_o my_o soul_n and_o in_o each_o of_o these_o be_v i_o more_o inward_o and_o grievous_o torment_v in_o my_o spirit_n than_o any_o one_o
