do_v proceed_v because_o he_o do_v not_o keep_v the_o fast_n as_o if_o his_o sin_n do_v arise_v from_o gluttony_n which_o be_v a_o gross_a error_n this_o book_n in_o the_o end_n thereof_o do_v

that_o which_o she_o so_o religious_o have_v observe_v in_o her_o congregation_n which_o be_v the_o pronounce_n of_o this_o amen_o what_o difficulty_n do_v the_o people_n find_v in_o it_o what_o
