of_o such_o vice_n as_o i_o know_v not_o how_o it_o may_v have_v be_v put_v to_o a_o better_a use_n to_o have_v benefit_v the_o common_a wealth_n or_o sometime_o likewise_o in_o london_n with_o a_o

a_o friend_n in_o court_n than_o a_o penny_n in_o purse_n but_o take_v heed_n i_o say_v you_o magistrate_n beware_v of_o partiality_n yet_o to_o say_v truth_n whether_o cart_v or_o a_o flap_n with_o a_o before_o tail_n all_o be_v to_o one_o purpose_n and_o therefore_o even_o as_o good_a never_o a_o whit_n as_o never_o the_o better_a for_o cart_v do_v but_o make_v they_o careless_a and_o shameless_a and_o rather_o to_o continue_v in_o their_o beastliness_n than_o bring_v they_o to_o honesty_n and_o repentance_n of_o their_o evil_n wherefore_o if_o it_o be_v not_o the_o soon_o

may_v you_o see_v and_o bcholde_v how_o vice_n abound_v for_o lack_v of_o the_o just_a reward_n that_o thereunto_o belong_v which_o shall_v be_v severe_a justice_n for_o neglect_v whereof_o as_o the_o

but_o oh_o you_o magistrate_n look_v to_o your_o charge_n &_o oh_o you_o loathsome_a whore_n and_o whoremonger_n let_v sodom_n and_o gommorra_n be_v your_o look_a glass_n wherein_o without_o your_o

to_o make_v provision_n for_o a_o dish_n of_o needenot_v for_o the_o latter_a course_n when_o there_o be_v alredye_n to_o much_o for_o the_o first_o which_o wasteful_a money_n be_v better_o bestow_v in_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n help_v by_o charity_n thy_o needful_a brethren_n that_o have_v not_o so_o well_o to_o fill_v their_o hungry_a belly_n but_z the_o be_v forget_v or_o scant_o think_v on_o

and_o to_o praise_v he_o for_o his_o manifold_a benefit_n then_o be_v they_o pack_v up_o together_o in_o tavern_n and_o alehouse_n yell_v for_o victual_n to_o fill_v their_o filthy_a paunch_n but_o oh_o beastlye_o belly_n whether_o be_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n or_o thou_o first_o to_o be_v serve_v iwys_o i_o remember_v there_o be_v not_o long_o a_o go_v a_o godly_a order_n make_v in_o london_n

commendable_a if_o it_o be_v observe_v according_a to_o the_o good_a meaning_n that_o the_o door_n shall_v i_o say_v be_v keep_v shut_v in_o service_n time_n to_o keep_v out_o such_o belly_n bibber_n but_o now_o they_o first_o fill_v and_o furnish_v their_o house_n w_n e_o gest_n and_o then_o they_o shut_v the_o door_n but_o alas_o what_o mockery_n be_v this_o with_o god_n &_o the_o magistrate_n unthrifte_n god_n and_o the_o magistrate_n mock_v by_o the_o typpler_n which_o be_v but_o harbourer_n of_o unthrifte_n for_o the_o which_o unless_o they_o may_v feel_v the_o smart_n it_o will_v be_v

which_o be_v the_o comfortable_a food_n that_o nourish_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o that_o the_o child_n and_o servant_n by_o the_o godly_a and_o virtuous_a life_n of_o those_o their_o parent_n

such_o carpenter_n such_o tool_n and_o such_o master_n such_o servant_n but_o yet_o a_o little_a more_o concern_v the_o abuse_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n upon_o the_o which_o almost_o even_o as_o
