10._o rom._n 10._o now_o to_o preserve_v faith_n we_o must_v often_o hear_v and_o read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n repent_v of_o our_o sin_n acknowledge_v and_o confess_v they_o and_o be_v humble_v

we_o must_v take_v heed_n we_o do_v nothing_o to_o break_v off_o the_o feel_n of_o god_n love_n or_o to_o wound_v our_o conscience_n second_o we_o must_v endeavour_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o obey_v
