of_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o child_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o outward_a poverty_n and_o affliction_n take_v away_o the_o fuel_n that_o feed_v pride_n 1_o that_o be_v a_o opposite_a to_o

because_o as_o the_o thing_n be_v great_a so_o they_o require_v a_o suitable_a carriage_n not_o a_o common_a carriage_n we_o profane_v the_o sacrament_n if_o we_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n
