such_o as_o hear_v i_o not_o &_o shall_v only_o peruse_v this_o dumb_a letter_n i_o know_v not_o how_o they_o may_v stand_v persuade_v of_o my_o true_a and_o faithful_a meaning_n and_o the_o more_o

of_o double_a deal_n and_o stand_v in_o doubt_n what_o to_o believe_v for_o if_o i_o do_v say_v true_a then_o i_o must_v dissemble_v now_o and_o if_o i_o say_v true_a now_o i_o can_v not_o but_o

man_n may_v deny_v they_o which_o be_v find_v to_o be_v true_a in_o the_o sight_n and_o knowledge_n of_o every_o man_n i_o leave_v it_o then_o for_o the_o indifferent_a reader_n to_o judge_v whether_o i_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o forsake_v the_o pope_n as_o i_o do_v &_o whether_o i_o have_v write_v any_o slander_n against_o he_o his_o do_n be_v far_o worse_o than_o that_o i_o have_v already_o

more_o a_o wise_a man_n have_v cause_n to_o suspect_v they_o for_o sure_o they_o come_v all_o from_o that_o foul_a spirit_n which_o first_o be_v throw_v out_o and_o be_v return_v again_o he_o bring_v

the_o danger_n of_o death_n &_o in_o the_o extremity_n of_o sickness_n when_o i_o can_v hope_v for_o no_o life_n have_v repent_v i_o of_o that_o which_o i_o have_v do_v and_o make_v such_o a_o

be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a and_o a_o strong_a argument_n to_o prove_v my_o unfeigned_a repentance_n i_o can_v but_o cry_v with_o the_o prophet_n judica_fw-la i_o deus_fw-la er_fw-mi discern_v
