that_o which_o be_v wrought_v thus_o much_o s._n gregory_n by_o which_o word_n be_v easy_o understand_v how_o great_o it_o import_v all_o those_o that_o serve_v god_n that_o they_o procure_v to_o go_v

8._o and_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o albeit_o if_o we_o regard_v the_o grievousnes_n of_o the_o fault_n that_o of_o the_o cold_a be_v great_a than_o that_o of_o the_o lukewarm_a yet_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o lukewarm_a be_v in_o a_o certain_a manner_n great_a which_o be_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o which_o fall_v out_o to_o these_o man_n in_o time_n to_o come_v for_o of_o he_o that_o be_v

of_o god_n conformable_o to_o the_o grievousnes_n of_o the_o sin_n to_o take_v from_o he_o the_o favour_n succour_n &_o gift_n which_o for_o his_o mercy_n he_o give_v he_o even_o to_o bereave_v he_o of_o all_o in_o the_o death_n &_o judgement_n which_o must_v be_v do_v upon_o he_o &_o to_o deliver_v he_o to_o the_o pain_n that_o his_o unthankfullnesse_n have_v deserve_v which_o be_v the_o
