his_o force_n and_o effect_n do_v cease_v quick_o which_o be_v to_o ask_v for_o and_o hereby_o be_v make_v that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o namely_o to_o ask_v nothing_o which_o be_v my_o

other_o my_o flesh_n therefore_o i_o have_v determine_v with_o myself_o to_o hate_v they_o mortal_o &_o never_o to_o contracte_v any_o league_n with_o they_o &_o because_o i_o may_v the_o stedfaster_n

who_o commandment_n i_o esreene_v more_o than_o my_o determination_n and_o therefore_o i_o have_v desire_v the_o lieutenant_n of_o the_o house_n that_o be_v send_v i_o not_o about_o such_o business_n whereby_o i_o may_v recreatemy_n self_n as_o in_o town_n city_n country_n or_o among_o people_n for_o i_o esteem_v this_o a_o great_a contempt_n and_o despise_v but_o when_o i_o be_o command_v than_o i_o obey_v and_o although_o my_o lord_n for_o certain_a affair_n command_v i_o to_o go_v into_o the_o world_n yet_o his_o will_n be_v that_o i_o in_o go_v shall_v not_o loiter_v and_o in_o return_v shall_v be_v find_v faithful_a unto_o he_o and_o in_o no_o wise_a shall_v use_v any_o falsehood_n practise_v treason_n against_o he_o but_o shall_v withdraw_v myself_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v

nothing_o but_o be_v always_o in_o danger_n to_o loose_a much_o in_o this_o sort_n i_o hate_v like_o my_o sin_n iniquity_n uncleanness_n carnal_a motion_n week_n desire_n and_o unnatural_a passion_n and_o be_o vetie_a pensive_a and_o sorrowful_a that_o they_o dwell_v within_o i_o know_v that_o they_o be_v contrary_a to_o my_o lord_n will_v &_o do_v altogether_o displease_v he_o therefore_o i_o endeavour_n myself_o always_o to_o amend_v through_o love_n like_o wise_a for_o the_o love_n of_o he_o i_o eschew_v and_o fly_v from_o all_o those_o that_o be_v in_o his_o house_n except_o it_o be_v in_o thing_n of_o necessity_n and_o love_n withdraw_v myself_o altogether_o from_o they_o wherefore_o do_v you_o so_o quoth_v desire_n because_o now_o a_o day_n there_o be_v no_o spiritual_a prayer_n love_n and_o goodly_a zeal_n practise_v and_o exercise_v and_o those_o that_o boast_v of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n common_o decay_v in_o slothfulness_n therefore_o i_o will_v accustom_v myself_o to_o be_v alone_o and_o addict_v myself_o to_o prayer_n that_o my_o soul_n may_v receine_v and_o feel_v some_o comfort_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o lord_n and_o i_o learn_v to_o love_v he_o as_o it_o

every_o man_n will_v cast_v his_o eye_n upon_o you_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n answer_v the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o i_o shall_v not_o serve_v to_o please_v man_n and_o chief_o in_o thing_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n and_o when_o i_o give_v no_o offence_n to_o my_o brother_n i_o care_v not_o what_o the_o world_n speak_v so_o i_o do_v my_o duty_n in_o that_o which_o be_v command_v i_o and_o therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v and_o possess_v i_o do_v as_o i_o do_v the_o ten_o chapter_n intreat_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n bring_v desire_n to_o the_o house_n desire_n be_v

in_o fear_n of_o any_o body_n i_o true_o answer_v the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o i_o must_v be_v very_o careful_a that_o i_o be_v not_o pu_v up_o in_o vain_a glory_n for_o my_o good_a work_n or_o
