all_o thyse_n wyckyd_v spiritte_n about_o we_o for_o all_o these_o calamite_n &_o vexationes_fw-la for_o the_o wret_a chednes_n and_o misery_n for_o all_o these_o evyls_n &_o displeasure_n that_o we_o

what_o will_v we_o do_v if_o there_o be_v no_o devylle_n at_o all_o therefore_o principal_o and_o first_o of_o all_o we_o must_v understand_v and_o know_v that_o we_o sit_v not_o here_o in_o the_o middle_a of_o rose_n or_o in_o a_o garden_n that_o be_v saffe_n and_o sure_a from_o all_o peril_n and_o deceit_n of_o our_o enemy_n if_o the_o devyll_n do_v seduce_v adam_n and_o eve_n in_o paradise_n also_o if_o he_o trouble_v so_o many_o other_o good_a man_n and_o child_n of_o god_n moreover_o if_o he_o do_v not_o spare_v to_o tempt_v christ_n himself_o both_o god_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n think_v not_o thyself_o so_o sure_a nor_o so_o well_o defense_v that_o he_o will_v be_v afraid_a of_o the._n therefore_o let_v we_o pray_v unto_o god_n diligent_o and_o fervent_o that_o he_o will_v gyve_v we_o grace_n to_o be_v ware_n and_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o ourselves_o against_o the_o crafty_a assalte_n &_o suggestion_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o he_o cast_v we_o not_o in_o disperation_n

stir_v up_o battaylle_n and_o bloodshed_n &_o tumult_n among_o the_o people_n but_o we_o must_v know_v this_o moreover_o that_o though_o there_o be_v never_o so_o many_o evyll_n spiritte_v against_o we_o that_o work_v we_o sorrow_n yet_o be_v there_o many_o moo_o good_a angel_n again_o which_o stop_n and_o let_v the_o purpose_n of_o these_o wicked_a fynde_n keep_a and_o defend_n we_o against_o

in_o the_o which_o be_v other_o more_o valiant_a spirit_n than_o these_o true_o the_o devyll_n will_v neither_o leave_v we_o wife_n child_n nor_o house_n stand_v not_o the_o moment_n of_o a_o hour_n
