for_o he_o best_a know_v to_o distinguish_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a between_o precious_a and_o vile_a wherefore_o if_o in_o his_o judgement_n any_o thing_n be_v precious_a it_o must_v needs_o be_v true_a that_o it_o be_v precious_a indeed_o put_v the_o question_n then_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v and_o how_o may_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o death_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v precious_a and_o the_o answer_n be_v give_v because_o it_o please_v god_n to_o account_v it_o so_o precious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o death_n of_o his_o saint_n it_o be_v not_o long_o of_o the_o saint_n but_o of_o god_n mere_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n unto_o they_o and_o because_o that_o he_o of_o his_o goodness_n do_v so_o account_v of_o it_o therefore_o it_o be_v precious_a and_o not_o for_o any_o worthiness_n or_o desert_n of_o their_o own_o neither_o be_v this_o preciousness_n of_o the_o death_n of_o the_o saint_n suppose_v and_o imaginary_a but_o real_a and_o true_a the_o saint_n death_n be_v true_o and_o real_o precious_a for_o although_o man_n may_v be_v deceive_v and_o err_v in_o his_o judgement_n yet_o it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o god_n it_o be_v true_a of_o man_n that_o in_o the_o error_n of_o his_o judgement_n he_o may_v take_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v precious_a and_o say_v that_o it_o be_v so_o when_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n only_o because_o he_o do_v imagine_v and_o conceit_n with_o himself_o that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v precious_a but_o god_n can_v be_v so_o deceive_v but_o whatsoever_o he_o judge_v and_o pronounce_v precious_a it_o be_v true_o and_o indeed_o precious_a and_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o and_o thus_o it_o come_v about_o that_o the_o saint_n death_n be_v precious_a and_o upon_o this_o ground_n we_o be_v certain_a of_o it_o it_o be_v precious_a and_o we_o know_v it_o because_o the_o most_o wise_a god_n do_v account_n and_o pronounce_v it_o to_o be_v precious_a in_o his_o sight_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o sum_n of_o
