in_o store_n eat_v drink_n and_o take_v thy_o rest_n who_o will_v endure_v the_o mock_n and_o scorn_v of_o the_o world_n who_o will_v be_v roast_v with_o laurentius_n or_o martyr_v with_o the_o

which_o do_v move_v and_o incite_v we_o to_o live_v godly_a in_o this_o present_a life_n for_o what_o do_v make_v the_o laborer_n to_o work_v but_o his_o hire_n the_o husbandman_n to_o toil_v but_o

wherewith_o they_o shall_v be_v adorn_v and_o flourish_v like_o angelis_n these_o be_v the_o true_a motive_n and_o inducement_n which_o do_v give_v alacrity_n and_o bold_a spirit_n to_o undergo_v
