this_o present_a life_n a_o life_n very_o like_a unto_o that_o which_o i_o be_o to_o live_v in_o life_n everlasting_a the_o first_o be_v that_o as_o the_o torment_n which_o christ_n feel_v in_o

all_o that_o which_o be_v christ_n the_o four_o thing_n which_o i_o consider_v be_v that_o as_o with_o my_o sin_n i_o augment_v the_o agony_n and_o the_o torment_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o passion_n
