on_o the_o behalf_n of_o weakling_n and_o of_o such_o as_o be_v frail_a in_o their_o live_n and_o conversation_n i_o think_v good_a to_o advise_v and_o warn_v they_o that_o they_o do_v not_o make_v

perish_v everlasting_o from_o which_o our_o lord_n gracious_o vouchsafe_v to_o keep_v we_o amen_o again_o that_o such_o weakling_n in_o their_o conversation_n receive_v the_o time_n of_o grace_n in_o
