and_o underlinge_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o wait_v and_o obey_v therefore_o see_v that_o god_n have_v call_v they_o to_o that_o estate_n they_o ought_v so_o to_o frame_v and_o enure_v themselves_o in_o their_o duty_n that_o they_o show_v their_o subjection_n and_o testify_v their_o submission_n unto_o their_o master_n honour_v they_o reverence_v they_o be_v serviceable_a unto_o they_o and_o

diligent_o they_o ought_v to_o attend_v unto_o their_o master_n and_o maistress_n as_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o servant_n look_v unto_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o master_n and_o as_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o

and_o he_o will_v abundaunt_o recompense_v all_o thy_o sufferynge_n even_o as_o christ_n commit_v his_o cause_n unto_o his_o father_n in_o heaven_n who_o his_o own_o self_n say_v saint_n peter_n
