to_o approach_v &_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v begin_o yet_o i_o do_v lament_v &_o so_o may_v all_o true_a english_a heart_n that_o our_o sin_n be_v so_o grievous_a as_o by_o the_o occasion_n thereof_o the_o lord_n do_v deny_v in_o the_o time_n of_o so_o chaste_a so_o wise_a so_o godly_a zealous_a &_o so_o learned_a a_o prince_n as_o be_v our_o most_o dread_a sovereign_a lady_n queen_n elizabeth_n who_o life_n with_o join_a heart_n &_o hand_n let_v we_o cry_v cry_v unto_o the_o lord_n to_o lengthen_v within_o this_o realm_n of_o england_n to_o bring_v to_o perfection_n that_o which_o be_v have_v begin_v to_o abolish_v from_o her_o people_n all_o remnant_n of_o popery_n &_o to_o supplant_v the_o hipocritical_a &_o unlearned_a ministry_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v &_o assure_o to_o be_v believe_v that_o our_o sin_n even_o our_o sin_n so_o great_a so_o grevous_a &_o so_o manifold_a as_o that_o the_o measure_n of_o they_o be_v immeasurable_a &_o the_o burden_n of_o they_o be_v intolerable_a be_v the_o only_a cause_n that_o our_o adversary_n do_v flourish_v &_o bear_v then selue_o so_o bold_a against_o the_o furtherer_n of_o this_o work_n as_o they_o do_v &_o that_o our_o iniquity_n be_v the_o very_a cause_n that_o so_o many_o cold_a brethren_n do_v increase_v &_o remain_v at_o this_o day_n oh_o where_o be_v besaleel_n where_o be_v aholiah_n where_o be_v hiran_n where_o be_v all_o those_o true_a workman_n become_v that_o in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o material_a temple_n be_v so_o stout_a so_o zealous_a so_o artifitial_a &_o so_o wise_a be_v there_o nothing_o of_o their_o zeal_n remain_v nothing_o of_o their_o valiance_n abide_v nothing_o leave_v of_o their_o skill_n no_o alas_o nothing_o almost_o nothing_o at_o al._n and_o o_o grevous_a case_n as_o this_o

all_o neglect_a and_o despise_v nay_o it_o be_v almost_o altogether_o set_v aside_o but_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o all_o man_n do_v neglect_v the_o build_n of_o this_o holy_a house_n as_o the_o more_o be_v the_o case_n to_o be_v lament_v very_o few_o as_o they_o ought_v do_v further_o the_o same_o then_o shall_v it_o not_o appear_v that_o the_o great_a workman_n do_v more_o pluck_v down_o by_o their_o ill_a example_n in_o life_n than_o erect_v by_o their_o labour_n in_o building_n nevertheless_o whether_o they_o work_v for_o love_n for_o gain_v or_o for_o fear_n so_o they_o do_v the_o work_n of_o hire_a workman_n it_o be_v not_o much_o to_o be_v weigh_v i_o mean_v for_o so_o much_o as_o they_o do_v for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v whether_o they_o preach_v christ_n for_o love_n or_o for_o spite_n so_o they_o preach_v it_o be_v to_o be_v joy_v although_o their_o true_a labour_n aswell_o in_o life_n as_o in_o doctrine_n will_v be_v more_o to_o the_o advauncement_n of_o the_o work_n and_o to_o the_o win_n of_o a_o great_a many_o other_o but_o i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o be_v not_o as_o they_o be_v more_o careful_a in_o building_n of_o
