in_o the_o country_n where_o this_o poor_a man_n dwell_v there_o be_v also_o many_o that_o seek_v to_o trouble_v he_o by_o often_o put_v of_o he_o in_o mind_n of_o his_o treason_n and_o the_o law_n that_o be_v to_o be_v execute_v on_o the_o offender_n now_o which_o way_n shall_v this_o man_n so_o honour_v his_o king_n but_o as_o believe_v his_o handwriting_n which_o be_v the_o pardon_n certain_o he_o will_v honour_v he_o more_o by_o so_o do_v than_o to_o regard_v all_o the_o clamour_n of_o his_o enemy_n continual_o against_o he_o just_o thus_o it_o be_v here_o thou_o have_v commit_v treason_n against_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n he_o through_o compassion_n for_o christ_n sake_n have_v send_v thou_o a_o pardon_n but_o the_o devil_n the_o law_n and_o thy_o conscience_n do_v continual_o seek_v to_o disturb_v thou_o by_o bring_v thy_o sin_n afresh_o into_o thy_o remembrance_n but_o now_o will_v thou_o honour_v thy_o king_n why_o then_o he_o that_o believe_v the_o record_n that_o god_n
