be_v more_o faithful_a to_o the_o lord_n in_o what_o he_o require_v and_o so_o more_o strength_n be_v give_v i_o and_o through_o the_o power_n of_o he_o may_v i_o become_v bold_a to_o bear_v

which_o you_o be_v all_o enlighten_v with_o i_o commit_v you_o desire_v you_o in_o god_n fear_n it_o may_v lead_v you_o and_o guide_v you_o in_o all_o thing_n at_o all_o time_n and_o be_v your_o

which_o be_v many_o thousand_o fold_n better_o than_o all_o earthly_a pleasure_n and_o all_o earthly_a enjoyment_n therefore_o why_o shall_v we_o not_o sell_v all_o for_o that_o kingdom_n which_o

say_v to_o be_v narrow_a it_o be_v but_o to_o that_o part_n which_o can_v inherit_v god_n kingdom_n and_o those_o that_o come_v to_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o way_n to_o his_o father_n who_o be_v
