the_o secret_n of_o his_o heart_n be_v make_v manifest_a and_o so_o fall_v down_o on_o his_o face_n he_o worship_v god_n that_o be_v the_o sermon_n be_v make_v effectual_a unto_o he_o and_o turn_v

esteem_v among_o man_n in_o their_o conscience_n indeed_o they_o say_v they_o be_v better_o than_o the_o whole_a world_n i_o but_o their_o heart_n do_v not_o great_o esteem_v they_o nay_o it_o
