by_o humility_n the_o lowly_a heart_n and_o repentant_a soul_n be_v a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n unto_o god_n as_o witness_v unto_o we_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o publican_n who_o go_v home_o

and_o in_o old_a time_n as_o macrobius_n report_v the_o priest_n afore_o he_o make_v sacrifice_n to_o his_o idol_n confess_v that_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o thereat_o begin_v his_o ceremony_n as_o

that_o it_o be_v only_a god_n that_o enable_v we_o to_o utter_v our_o power_n say_v that_o he_o which_o have_v receive_v strength_n and_o power_n of_o god_n mere_a gift_n and_o bethink_v himself_o of_o the_o weakness_n that_o be_v in_o ●im_n afore_o he_o enjoy_v that_o grace_n will_v put_v away_o that_o proud_a stomach_n and_o yield_v thanks_o to_o he_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o

their_o elder_n &_o believe_v not_o their_o council_n for_o it_o be_v a_o young_a man_n duty_n say_v cicero_n in_o his_o book_n of_o duty_n to_o yield_v honour_n to_o his_o ancients_n which_o thing_n be_v inviolable_o observe_v in_o egypt_n and_o lacedaemon_n whereupon_o rise_v the_o proverb_n it_o will_v do_v a_o man_n good_a to_o be_v old_a in_o sparta_n of_o the_o say_a vice_n spring_v the_o

first_o in_o worship_v god_n with_o prayer_n &_o sacrifice_n and_o second_o in_o honour_v their_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o he_o say_v that_o the_o child_n ought_v to_o believe_v that_o all_o that_o ever_o he_o have_v belong_v to_o those_o that_o breed_v and_o bring_v he_o up_o so_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o succour_v they_o with_o all_o his_o good_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o fortune_n of_o
