to_o be_v such_o these_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o a_o king_n yea_o these_o be_v the_o pleasure_n that_o i_o wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n may_v be_v heap_v with_o measure_n press_v down_o and_o

whereof_o the_o pleasure_n and_o sweetness_n also_o do_v not_o wither_v or_o decay_v pleasure_n by_o which_o he_o approach_v to_o god_n and_o be_v exalt_v ed_z above_o honour_n itself_o and_o not_o

he_o will_v be_v pure_a and_o clean_a in_o his_o conversation_n but_o this_o concern_v himself_o and_o may_v be_v term_v private_a howbeit_o good_a also_o while_o other_o man_n see_v his_o holy_a

more_o than_o necessary_a otherwise_o if_o he_o have_v fail_v in_o both_o he_o have_v destroy_v both_o way_n and_o if_o he_o have_v fail_v in_o the_o one_o and_o perform_v in_o the_o other_o he_o

integrity_n of_o his_o reason_n and_o of_o his_o judgement_n yea_o his_o uprightness_n as_o well_o towards_o his_o neighbour_n as_o to_o his_o subject_n he_o say_v and_o promise_v to_o practice_v

it_o more_o large_o special_o since_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n have_v enter_v into_o the_o world_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o our_o uprightness_n yea_o the_o uprightness_n of_o

his_o honour_n because_o it_o be_v impair_v by_o evil_a in_o his_o subject_n because_o they_o be_v oppress_v and_o make_v worse_o by_o bad_a example_n and_o in_o his_o state_n because_o by_o sin_n
