that_o he_o shall_v wait_v on_o you_o he_o can_v live_v without_o your_o receive_n but_o you_o can_v live_v without_o his_o give_v the_o beggar_n must_v be_v glad_a of_o a_o alm_n at_o any_o time_n and_o the_o condemn_a person_n of_o a_o pardon_n at_o any_o time_n but_o the_o giver_n may_v well_o expect_v that_o his_o gift_n be_v receive_v without_o delay_n or_o else_o he_o may_v let_v they_o go_v without_o it_o 34._o and_o i_o think_v you_o shall_v not_o deal_v worse_o with_o god_n when_o he_o come_v to_o you_o as_o a_o physician_n to_o save_v your_o own_o soul_n than_o you_o will_v do_v with_o a_o neighbour_n or_o a_o friend_n when_o it_o be_v not_o for_o your_o own_o good_a but_o for_o they_o if_o your_o neighbour_n lie_v a_o die_a you_o will_v go_v and_o visit_v he_o without_o

yea_o you_o will_v do_v thus_o much_o by_o a_o very_a beast_n and_o yet_o will_v you_o delay_v when_o it_o be_v not_o another_o but_o yourselves_o that_o be_v sink_v and_o drown_v and_o within_o a_o

worse_o with_o he_o than_o you_o do_v with_o the_o devil_n himself_o if_o satan_n or_o his_o servant_n persuade_v you_o to_o sin_n you_o delay_v not_o so_o long_o but_o you_o be_v present_o at_o it_o you_o be_v ready_a to_o follow_v every_o tipple_a companion_n or_o gamester_n that_o put_v up_o the_o finger_n you_o be_v as_o ready_a to_o go_v as_o they_o to_o invite_v you_o the_o very_a sight_n
