desire_v without_o dissemble_v or_o feign_v to_o walk_v so_o as_o we_o may_v please_v god_n in_o all_o thing_n wonderful_n be_v the_o weakness_n of_o most_o part_n of_o christian_n who_o howsoever_o

this_o be_v the_o simile_n whereby_o the_o exhortation_n to_o holiness_n be_v set_v forth_o which_o have_v in_o it_o also_o the_o force_n of_o a_o double_a reason_n to_o persuade_v thereunto_o 1._o
