by_o his_o death_n and_o last_o of_o all_o let_v he_o advisedlie_o consider_v whether_o it_o be_v more_o behoveful_a to_o enjoy_v prosperity_n of_o this_o life_n with_o hazard_n of_o the_o soul_n than_o to_o renounce_v they_o if_o occasion_n serve_v for_o christ_n his_o sake_n therefore_o see_v our_o flesh_n be_v ticle_v &_o like_o a_o wild_a horse_n begin_v to_o winch_v by_o prosperity_n let_v a_o godly_a man_n think_v with_o himself_o first_o how_o uncertain_a brittle_a mortal_a temporal_a flete_n &_o transitory_a y_o e_o prosperity_n of_o this_o world_n be_v which_o many_o

therefore_o thou_o will_v have_v true_a wisdom_n 3._o true_a might_n true_a nobility_n true_a pleasure_n and_o glory_n seek_v they_o in_o christ_n alone_o &_o thou_o shall_v find_v in_o who_o be_v
