some_o labour_n in_o their_o natural_a country_n though_o they_o can_v work_v well_o in_o some_o kind_n of_o labour_n every_o man_n say_v we_o will_v not_o be_v trouble_v with_o their_o service_n but_o make_v other_o shift_n for_o our_o business_n so_o be_v they_o turn_v forth_o to_o travail_n in_o idleness_n the_o highway_n to_o hell_n and_o seek_v their_o meat_n upon_o meres_n as_o the_o

we_o christian_n to_o do_v good_a unto_o our_o even_o mie_fw-mi and_o shall_v we_o then_o do_v nothing_o for_o our_o friend_n if_o we_o ought_v to_o love_v they_o that_o hateu_v shall_v we_o thus_o

labour_n in_o this_o his_o vineyard_n or_o commonwealth_n and_o make_v it_o flow_v with_o all_o kind_n of_o commodity_n then_o may_v not_o we_o which_o be_v steward_n turn_v they_o forth_o of_o his_o

make_v we_o conqueror_n of_o those_o natural_a evilles_n and_o let_v not_o we_o because_o they_o of_o weakness_n go_v over_o the_o shoe_n in_o sin_n show_v so_o much_o unchristian_a cruelty_n to_o
