it_o be_v not_o credible_a or_o possible_a that_o any_o one_o shall_v feed_v more_o thousand_o with_o a_o morsel_n of_o bread_n then_o ever_o christ_n feed_v with_o 7._o loaf_n and_o 2._o fish_n beside_o what_o stentour_n voice_n or_o aeolus_n lung_n or_o iron_n side_n may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o stretch_v to_o so_o many_o thousand_o but_o that_o be_v as_o gross_a as_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o he_o that_o shall_v take_v so_o much_o pain_n shall_v have_v no_o more_o than_o that_o slender_a reward_n 2._o will_v not_o god_n at_o his_o general_a audit_n object_v this_o unto_o such_o

bring_v man_n ofttimes_o from_o the_o wealth_n and_o pride_n of_o the_o city_n to_o the_o want_n and_o drudgery_n of_o the_o country_n for_o such_o forgetfulness_n and_o contempt_n 3._o the_o
