sight_n thereof_o see_v the_o rich_a apparel_n be_v but_o the_o fine_a cover_n of_o the_o foul_a shame_n therefore_o as_o thou_o be_v clothing_n thy_o body_n endeavour_n to_o cloth_n thy_o soul_n

be_v to_o remember_v when_o you_o settle_v yourself_o in_o prayer_n you_o then_o place_n yourself_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n who_o eye_n indeed_o be_v upon_o all_o man_n but_o in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n upon_o those_o that_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o prayer_n 2._o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o presence_n be_v to_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n with_o what_o humble_a reverence_n both_o
