we_o know_v that_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o injustice_n god_n be_v offend_v &_o our_o neighbour_n be_v hurt_v wherefore_o by_o our_o repentance_n we_o reconcile_v ourselves_o to_o god_n and_o by_o our_o

satisfaction_n and_o confession_n if_o a_o man_n have_v speak_v ill_o of_o his_o neighbour_n he_o must_v be_v sorry_a foe_fw-mi it_o and_o speak_v well_o of_o he_o again_o if_o servant_n steal_v or_o

may_v be_v that_o we_o may_v be_v discreet_a in_o our_o demand_n and_o not_o dwell_v too_o long_o upon_o earthly_a thing_n it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o world_n who_o use_v to_o pray_v not_o

themselves_o for_o 14._o their_o corn_n and_o wine_n the_o thing_n that_o they_o only_o think_v on_o and_o care_n for_o so_o as_o they_o can_v be_v content_v continual_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o wherein_o our_o saviour_n christ_n perceive_v a_o natural_a corruption_n in_o we_o will_v therefore_o have_v we_o soon_o to_o have_v do_v with_o this_o thing_n and_o by_o and_o by_o to_o address_v ourselves_o to_o better_a to_o seek_v more_o pertinent_a matter_n pardon_v of_o sin_n salvation_n of_o soul_n strength_n and_o mean_n to_o live_v holy_o without_o which_o all_o the_o rest_n will_v

so_o it_o be_v in_o joy_n the_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n at_o his_o first_o conversion_n if_o he_o apprehend_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n more_o than_o the_o fearful_a judgement_n of_o god_n
