i_o will_v conclude_v all_o with_o another_o story_n eod_a against_o the_o preposterous_a folly_n of_o worldly_a man_n who_o first_o labour_n for_o earthly_a and_o then_o for_o heavenly_a thing_n i_o do_v read_v of_o a_o noble_a man_n fool_n who_o labour_n be_v to_o bring_v in_o wood_n to_o the_o kitchen_n when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o pile_n he_o will_v always_o draw_v out_o underneath_o upon_o

a_o armful_n so_o be_v the_o child_n of_o this_o world_n they_o take_v the_o most_o and_o first_o pain_n for_o inferior_a thing_n which_o lie_v undermost_a and_o let_v the_o superior_a and_o

give_v their_o first_o labour_n to_o the_o world_n which_o be_v undermost_a like_o the_o foundation_n of_o a_o woodpile_n lose_v much_o time_n &_o the_o world_n or_o worldly_a blessing_n come_v more_o hardly_o unto_o they_o for_o i_o must_v ever_o rest_v in_o my_o sweet_a saviour_n saying_n 33._o seek_v first_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o and_o all_o other_o

heaven_n the_o cloud_n the_o cloud_n the_o earth_n and_o the_o earth_n the_o people_n so_o all_o blessing_n must_v first_o be_v seek_v for_o in_o heaven_n and_o then_o as_o agar_n we_o shall_v have_v a_o angel_n to_o direct_v we_o to_o the_o fountain_n of_o water_n on_o the_o earth_n second_o another_o part_n of_o this_o folly_n be_v that_o we_o can_v be_v persuade_v with_o this_o fool_n but_o that_o heavenly_a thing_n be_v more_o easy_o accomplish_v of_o all_o sort_n then_o earthly_a and_o therefore_o he_o which_o be_v seven_o year_n apprentice_n to_o a_o trade_n and_o all_o little_a
