whereunto_o mankind_n be_v subject_a do_v proceed_v from_o sin_n so_o often_o as_o we_o see_v any_o man_n in_o misery_n it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o this_o cogitation_n must_v needs_o come_v into_o

of_o some_o in_o this_o world_n due_a defer_v the_o punishment_n until_o the_o life_n to_o come_v that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o sharp_a so_o he_o handle_v the_o faithful_a sometime_o more_o hardly_o

26_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v serve_v i_o to_o the_o end_n death_n may_v be_v the_o less_o bitter_a and_o troublesome_a unto_o we_o christ_n do_v invite_v we_o unto_o the_o same_o by_o his_o example_n

they_o now_o add_v that_o which_o be_v before_o omit_v how_o and_o upon_o what_o occasion_n he_o be_v betray_v by_o the_o disciple_n it_o appear_v sufficient_o that_o he_o be_v anoint_v at_o

that_o all_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v anoint_v even_o unto_o the_o foot_n for_o there_o be_v a_o augmentation_n in_o this_o word_n foot_n which_o appear_v better_o by_o that_o which_o
