feithfull_a or_o unfeithfull_a shall_v be_v our_o letter_n that_o be_v our_o witness_n berer_n for_o the_o treuthe_n where_o it_o be_v sow_v may_v not_o be_v unwitness_v for_o all_o that_o be_v convert_v &_o save_v by_o learning_n of_o god_n word_n and_o by_o work_v thereafter_o be_v witness_n berer_n that_o the_o trewith_o and_o sothfastnesse_n which_o they_o hear_v and_o do_v after_o be_v cause_n off_o their_o salvation_n and_o ageyn_v all_z unfeythfull_a man_n &_o woman_n which_o hear_v the_o treuthe_n tell_v out_o to_o they_o &_o will_v not_o do_v there_o after_o also_o all_o they_o that_o may_v have_v herd_n the_o treuthe_n and_o will_v not_o hear_v it_o because_o that_o they_o will_v not_o do_v thereafter_o all_o thes_n shall_v bear_v witness_n agein_v themselves_o &_o the_o

therefore_o sir_n syns_n this_o forseide_a witness_v of_o god_n &_o of_o diverse_a seinte_n &_o doctor_n &_o off_o all_o the_o people_n good_a &_o evyll_n suffice_v to_o all_o true_a precher_n we_o

need_v no_o letter_n of_o commendation_n as_o some_o other_o preacher_n do_v which_o preach_v for_o covetousness_n of_o temporal_a good_n and_o for_o man_n praise_n and_o where_o you_o say_v sir_n that_o paul_fw-mi bid_v subject_n obey_v their_o sovereyn_n this_o be_v sooth_n &_o may_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o there_o be_v two_o manner_n of_o sovereyn_n virtuous_a suffereny_n &_o vicious_a

in_o they_o virtue_n also_o thes_n sovereyn_n make_v devoute_a and_o fervent_a prayer_n for_o to_o purchase_v grace_n of_o god_n that_o they_o and_o their_o subiectis_fw-la may_n over_o all_o thing_n

unto_o i_o if_o a_o sovereyn_n bid_v his_o subject_n do_v that_o thing_n that_o be_v vicious_a this_o sovereyn_a herein_o be_v to_o blame_v but_o the_o subject_n for_o his_o obedience_n deserve_v
