what_o be_v he_o that_o dare_v to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n which_o he_o can_v do_v or_o perform_v that_o which_o be_v not_o reasonable_a then_o present_o let_v we_o examine_v the_o

that_o his_o life_n have_v not_o be_v but_o as_o a_o clock_n to_o govern_v we_o and_o as_o a_o butt_n whereat_o to_o shoot_v neither_o be_v we_o able_a to_o say_v that_o he_o commit_v any_o excess_n in_o eat_v or_o drink_v for_o present_o after_o he_o be_v baptize_v he_o go_v to_o fast_v in_o the_o desert_n forty_o day_n &_o forty_o night_n on_o a_o tank_n and_o less_o do_v jesus_n christ_n use_n

without_o comparison_n he_o shall_v find_v his_o love_n far_o to_o exceed_v and_o surmount_v his_o torment_n for_o that_o upon_o the_o tree_n of_o the_o cross_n his_o passion_n have_v a_o end_n but_o his_o love_n and_o affection_n do_v never_o cease_v and_o certain_o jesus_n christ_n in_o all_o thing_n use_v great_a moderation_n except_o in_o his_o love_n which_o he_o do_v bear_v unto_o the_o universal_a world_n be_v so_o excessive_a that_o it_o exceed_v the_o humanity_n approach_v very_o near_o unto_o the_o divinity_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v god_n and_o man_n as_o he_o be_v it_o have_v be_v impossible_a to_o have_v love_v with_o so_o great_a affection_n and_o to_o have_v bestow_v so_o great_a and_o marvellous_a thing_n for_o that_o which_o he_o love_v most_o
