mercy_n and_o forgyvenes_n ¶_o envy_n ¶_o i_o have_v also_o offend_v my_o lord_n god_n in_o the_o sin_n of_o envy_n for_o i_o have_v not_o love_v my_o neighbour_n as_o myself_o nor_o ben_fw-mi so_o

the_o mean_n of_o these_o two_o foul_a sin_n of_o glotony_n and_o sloth_n i_o have_v be_v the_o more_o ready_a unto_o the_o three_o sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v to_o say_v lechery_n for_z i_o
