what_o tie_n and_o bond_n be_v upon_o thou_o towards_o he_o the_o bargain_n between_o he_o and_o thou_o past_a i_o will_v ask_v you_o first_o who_o servant_n be_v thou_o and_o servant_n shall_v not_o the_o servant_n seek_v the_o profit_n of_o his_o master_n if_o a_o man_n see_v a_o company_n of_o sheep_n and_o he_o ask_v who_o sheep_n be_v these_o say_v another_o to_o he_o such_o a_o man_n for_o

of_o discretion_n thou_o have_v not_o disclaim_v it_o but_o confirm_v it_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n receive_v it_o often_o and_o therefore_o thou_o can_v not_o recall_v it_o therefore_o that_o first_o covenant_n then_o make_v it_o stand_v good_a as_o marriage_n make_v under_o age_n if_o when_o the_o party_n be_v come_v to_o year_n they_o do_v not_o disclaim_v they_o

with_o a_o pecuniary_a mulct_n so_o the_o sin_n which_o thou_o commit_v in_o go_v after_o other_o lover_n be_v worse_o than_o if_o a_o heathen_a man_n have_v commit_v the_o same_o he_o that_o be_v

to_o the_o lord_n as_o the_o lord_n christ_n to_o he_o and_o all_o thing_n in_o he_o and_o so_o the_o saint_n of_o 5._o macedonia_n do_v 2_o cor._n 8._o 5._o they_o give_v themselves_o up_o first_o to_o the_o lord_n it_o and_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o thus_o bind_v yet_o he_o have_v deserve_v it_o at_o thy_o hand_n and_o both_o these_o we_o find_v 13_o urge_v by_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 1._o
