and_o that_o this_o humility_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o ourselves_o viz_o of_o our_o nothing_o and_o his_o infinite_a incomprehensibility_n of_o our_o baseness_n and_o his_o majesty_n of_o our_o poverty_n and_o his_o riches_n of_o our_o weakness_n &_o his_o omnipotency_n of_o our_o ignorance_n and_o his_o wisdom_n and_o therefore_o a_o humble_a man_n do_v

vessel_n of_o windy_a pride_n and_o putrify_v sin_n doubtless_o our_o lord_n will_v fill_v they_o as_o the_o widow_n vessel_n with_o his_o oil_n of_o grace_n for_o if_o achab_n be_v pardon_v who_o
