he_o the_o forty_o day_n after_o his_o resurrection_n asceud_v up_o above_o all_o the_o heaven_n his_o disciple_n see_v it_o &_o sit_v on_o thy_o right_a hand_n do_v pour_v out_o his_o holy_a spirit_n abundant_o according_a to_o his_o promise_n upon_o they_o who_o he_o have_v choose_v to_o be_v his_o child_n i_o geve_v thou_o thank_n for_o that_o most_o sacred_a shed_v forth_o of_o his_o precious_a blood_n wherewith_o we_o be_v redeem_v and_o also_o for_o the_o most_o holy_a and_o quicken_a sacrifice_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n which_o daily_o in_o thy_o church_n we_o feed_v of_o and_o
persecute_v he_o and_o catch_v he_o because_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o will_v deliver_v he_o but_o thou_o lord_n how_o long_o turn_v again_o &_o deliver_v my_o soul_n save_v i_o for_o thy_o

they_o that_o rebuke_v thou_o and_o spit_v upon_o thou_o i_o confess_v and_o acknowledge_v that_o i_o have_v sin_v and_o my_o conscience_n deserve_v damnation_n and_o the_o penance_n that_o i_o be_o
