s._n peter_n here_o in_o plain_a term_n call_v they_o foul_a spot_n filthy_a blotte_n and_o opprobrious_a staines_n for_o a_o true_a and_o sincere_a christian_a life_n consist_v whole_o in_o faith_n

delicacy_n nycenesse_n love_n of_o themselves_o desire_v of_o self_n gain_v and_o private_a commodity_n rake_v all_o thing_n to_o themselves_o and_o not_o have_v any_o regard_n or_o remorse_n to_o serve_v any_o other_o body_n turn_v or_o benefit_n and_o as_o for_o faith_n they_o know_v thereof_o nothing_o at_o all_o they_o be_v therefore_o nothing_o but_o spot_n and_o blotte_n of_o who_o the_o

of_o christ_n because_o there_o may_v be_v no_o beggar_n or_o any_o distress_a with_o pinch_a penury_n all_o this_o whatsoever_o be_v give_v to_o this_o good_a end_n have_v be_v since_o convert_v
