in_o we_o if_o we_o do_v not_o diligent_o and_o thorough_o try_v our_o estate_n and_o examine_v ourselves_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o examine_v ourselves_o as_o christ_n say_v take_v

the_o end_n why_o we_o must_v prove_v ourselves_o the_o end_n be_v twofold_a principal_a &_o inferior_a the_o principal_a end_n be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o ought_v above_o all_o thing_n to_o
