do_v perform_v none_o of_o this_o which_o they_o vow_v but_o live_v to_o the_o flesh_n and_o world_n which_o they_o renounce_v and_o take_v a_o holy_a life_n as_o needless_a yea_o and_o hate_v it_o i_o say_v whether_o these_o be_v not_o the_o impudent_a hypocrite_n that_o vow_v and_o profess_v that_o holiness_n which_o they_o abhor_v rather_o than_o they_o that_o with_o all_o their_o diligence_n perform_v the_o holy_a vow_n which_o they_o have_v make_v and_o if_o wife_n promise_v fidelity_n to_o their_o husband_n servant_n to_o their_o master_n and_o subject_n to_o their_o prince_n be_v they_o the_o hypocrite_n that_o be_v serious_a and_o keep_v their_o promise_n or_o they_o that_o be_v never_o serious_a in_o it_o but_o scorn_v the_o keep_n of_o it_o v._o and_o as_o to_o those_o
