this_o drede_n may_v be_v good_a for_o by_o this_o way_n they_o may_v come_v in_o to_o the_o love_n of_o our_o lord_n god_n as_o by_o this_o way_n that_o i_o shall_v show_v all_o be_v it_o that_o

three_o manner_n of_o drede_n which_o be_v call_v as_o i_o say_v a_o chaste_a or_o a_o friendly_a drede_n for_o than_o thou_o drede_v to_o less_o the_o goodness_n &_o grace_n that_o god_n have_v put_v in_o the_o thou_o drede_v than_o also_o to_o less_o the_o bliss_n that_o be_v ordain_v for_o the_o &_o so_o by_o this_o thou_o shall_v drede_v god_n that_o he_o forsake_v not_o the_o when_o thou_o drede_v god_n in_o this_o manner_n thenne_n have_v thou_o he_o sickerly_a with_o the_o &_o so_o for_o his_o love_n thou_o shall_v desire_v to_o be_v with_o he_o thus_o may_v thou_o well_o know_v how_o drede_n of_o god_n may_v bring_v the_o in_o to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o love_v god_n than_o thou_o have_v wysedom_n so_o thus_o the_o drede_n of_o god_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o wysedom_n
