draw_v you_o into_o sin_n and_o study_v with_o yourself_o and_o take_v your_o ghostly_a father_n advice_n how_o without_o great_a to_o avoid_v such_o occasion_n and_o you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o

be_v think_v to_o have_v a_o efficacious_a purpose_n to_o avoid_v his_o sin_n who_o think_v it_o not_o worth_a his_o care_n how_o to_o amend_v they_o and_o therefore_o those_o who_o return_v still_o

think_v to_o have_v no_o amendment_n of_o his_o life_n as_o long_o as_o he_o fall_v not_o so_o often_o nor_o upon_o so_o slight_a temptation_n as_o before_o and_o if_o after_o his_o fall_n he_o find_v a_o great_a remorse_n of_o conscience_n then_o former_o and_o a_o more_o earnest_a and_o speedy_a desire_n to_o be_v reconcile_v again_o to_o god_n and_o withal_o a_o serious_a and_o evident_a
