pleasure_n of_o god_n and_o what_o he_o will_v to_o be_v doen._n thy_o duty_n and_o service_n in_o this_o sort_n true_o and_o faithful_o perform_v shall_v before_o god_n far_o surpass_v and_o excel_v all_o the_o work_v and_o merit_v of_o all_o shavel_v priest_n and_o mumble_a monk_n in_o the_o world_n if_o they_o be_v all_o lay_v together_o on_o one_o heap_n if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o think_v

for_o there_o be_v nothing_o better_a if_o thou_o do_v it_o nothing_o worse_a if_o thou_o forslow_v and_o omite_v it_o and_o therefore_o say_v saint_n peter_n this_o must_v with_o all_o fear_n be_v
