the_o fire_n to_o keep_v we_o from_o can_v &_o the_o air_n to_o mitigate_v his_o heat_n and_o preserve_v our_o health_n the_o water_n to_o wash_v away_o our_o filthiness_n the_o earth_n with_o his_o

&_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o man_n do_v not_o only_o serve_v god_n of_o love_n as_o the_o angel_n do_v but_o also_o with_o labour_n &_o pain_n which_o they_o do_v not_o for_o he_o labour_v more_o in_o serve_v he_o one_o day_n than_o they_o have_v do_v since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n &_o therefore_o do_v god_n singuler_o delight_n in_o our_o prayer_n &_o other_o good_a work_n &_o shall_v geve_v we_o if_o we_o continue_v to_o the_o end_n a_o double_a crown_n of_o glory_n that_o be_v both_o in_o body_n &_o soul_n and_o here_o understand_v that_o for_o diverse_a cause_n we_o be_v just_o bind_v to_o serve_v he_o first_o for_o our_o creation_n because_o we_o be_v create_v only_o to_o that_o end_n &_o therefore_o all_o our_o member_n &_o strengthe_n of_o body_n &_o soul_n be_v to_o be_v employ_v &_o exercyse_v in_o his_o holy_a service_n also_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o serve_v he_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o love_a service_n do_v unto_o we_o who_o say_v by_o his_o

he_o be_v whip_v &_o crown_v with_o thorn_n when_o he_o carry_v his_o cross_n &_o thereon_o suffer_v painful_a death_n &_o beside_o all_o this_o in_o token_n of_o his_o great_a love_n he_o serve_v we_o still_o with_o his_o own_o bless_a body_n &_o blood_n in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n &_o therefore_o every_o way_n be_v we_o bind_v most_o lovinglye_o to_o serve_v he_o again_o also_o we_o be_v

to_o declare_v brefe_o by_o what_o mean_v the_o same_o may_v be_v obtain_v &_o get_v first_o he_o that_o will_v serve_v god_n true_o in_o cleamne_v of_o heart_n &_o conscience_n must_v daily_o

except_o god_n keep_v the_o city_n he_o watch_v in_o vain_a that_o keep_v it_o therefore_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o serve_v god_n in_o great_a humility_n &_o with_o continual_a watch_n &_o ward_v over_o himself_o the_o difficulty_n of_o perseverance_n in_o well_o do_v appear_v in_o the_o fall_n of_o lucifer_n from_o heaven_n of_o adam_z from_o paradise_n and_o judas_n from_o the_o number_n of_o the_o xij_o apostle_n what_o cause_n have_v we_o therefore_o to_o pray_v as_o our_o savioure_n counsele_v we_o continual_o have_v experience_n of_o our_o own_o weakness_n &_o debility_n in_o
