for_o every_o one_o be_v best_a in_o his_o own_o art_n neither_o can_v all_o man_n do_v all_o thing_n and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a matter_n to_o be_v excellent_a in_o any_o one_o vocation_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o excel_v in_o all_o &_o to_o exercise_v they_o due_o now_o we_o say_v that_o six_o thing_n be_v necessary_o require_v to_o frame_v a_o happy_a city_n &_o civil_a society_n

sacrifice_n the_o first_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o we_o offer_v to_o god_n by_o contrition_n devotion_n contemplation_n and_o prayer_n the_o second_o be_v of_o the_o body_n which_o we_o offer_v to_o god_n by_o fast_v abstinence_n or_o by_o suffer_a martyrdom_n to_o maintain_v his_o law_n justice_n and_o truth_n the_o three_o sacrifice_n be_v of_o outward_a good_n when_o we_o offer_v they_o unto_o he_o in_o the_o work_n of_o charity_n according_a to_o his_o holy_a ordinance_n so_o that_o if_o sacrifice_n and_o priest_n always_o take_v place_n among_o the_o barbarian_n

of_o nature_n the_o write_a law_n and_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n so_o there_o be_v sacrifice_n and_o priest_n under_o every_o one_o of_o they_o melchizedech_n live_v pastor_n under_o the_o law_n of_o
