nicodemus_n therefore_o thynk_v this_o that_o he_o know_v what_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n because_o he_o knowethe_v god_n and_o understand_v how_o all_o thing_n be_v wrought_v and_o govern_v by_o he_o it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o he_o know_v god_n well_o he_o must_v needs_o know_v his_o kingdom_n but_o because_o the_o first_o be_v false_a christ_n rebuke_v he_o in_o the_o last_o that_o

of_o god_n and_o who_o do_v see_v it_o and_o know_v it_o nicodemus_n never_o have_v other_o opinion_n before_o this_o time_n but_o that_o the_o kyngdom_n of_o god_n have_v his_o description_n in_o

be_v very_o true_a that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v without_o temptation_n when_o it_o chance_v to_o we_o as_o it_o do_v to_o peter_n to_o labour_v all_o the_o night_n and_o to_o take_v no_o profit_n thereby_o we_o take_v it_o unpacient_o and_o go_v about_o to_o lay_v all_o aside_o and_o depart_v but_o we_o ought_v to_o overcome_v this_o temptation_n and_o stick_v to_o our_o vocation_n steadfast_o and_o to_o cast_v all_o our_o care_n on_o the_o lord_n for_o i_o have_v know_v this_o often_o time_n by_o experience_n when_o the_o obedient_a child_n in_o a_o family_n have_v have_v misfortune_n

wherefore_o if_o it_o chance_v likewise_o to_o thou_o that_o all_o thing_n go_v not_o well_o be_v constant_a and_o strengthen_v thyself_o that_o thou_o be_v not_o overcome_v of_o temptation_n for_o

also_o to_o his_o grace_n but_o i_o be_o a_o sinner_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a of_o grace_n but_o rather_o of_o wroth_a then_o come_v the_o devil_n and_o he_o enlarge_v sin_n so_o much_o in_o thy_o
