of_o ryghteousnes_n have_v not_o shine_v unto_o we_o &_o the_o son_n of_o understond_v rise_v not_o upon_o us._n we_o have_v weary_a ourselves_o in_o y_z e_z way_n of_o wickedness_n &_o destruction_n

paul_n have_v i._n experience_n of_o this_o thing_n when_o he_o be_v yet_o alyve_a say_v on_o this_o man_n never_o i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v &_o loson_v out_o of_o this_o mortal_a body_n &_o

this_o death_n how_o so_o ever_o it_o chaunse_v unto_o he_o blyss_v be_v y_o e_o cross_n which_o bring_v this_o glory_n but_o let_v we_o see_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o death_n of_o
