of_o the_o read_n of_o the_o scripture_n yet_o because_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n but_o that_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v some_o rule_n therefore_o certain_a rule_n be_v here_o set_v

of_o late_o be_v use_v it_o be_v more_o profitable_a because_o here_o be_v leave_v out_o many_o thing_n whereof_o some_o be_v untrue_a some_o uncertain_a some_o vain_a and_o superstitious_a and_o be_v ordain_v nothing_o to_o be_v read_v but_o the_o very_a pure_a word_n of_o god_n the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o that_o which_o be_v evidentlye_o ground_v upon_o the_o same_o and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o

shortness_n thereof_o and_o for_o the_o plainness_n of_o the_o order_fw-fr and_o for_o that_o the_o rule_v be_v few_o and_o easy_a furthermore_o by_o this_o order_fw-fr the_o curate_n shall_v need_v

and_o if_o any_o will_v judge_v this_o way_n more_o painful_a because_o that_o all_o thing_n must_v be_v read_v upon_o the_o book_n whereas_o before_o by_o the_o reason_n of_o so_o often_o

read_v upon_o the_o book_n they_o will_v not_o refuse_v the_o pain_n in_o consideration_n of_o the_o great_a profit_n that_o shall_v ensue_v thereof_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o nothing_o can_v almost_o
