and_o wor_n ship_n to_o god_n /_o whither_o they_o will_v or_o will_v not_o ¶_o and_o in_o somothe_a their_o sight_n be_v parfyte_n that_o not_o only_o they_o see_v my_o worshyppe_n and_o joy_n

they_o use_v they_o /_o not_o hang_n of_o they_o withdraw_v for_o their_o wyekednesse_n /_o but_z i_o grant_v it_o they_o &_o as_o well_o to_o they_o as_o to_o theryghtwyse_a lyver_n /_o and_o oft_o

suffer_v that_o i_o may_v gyve_v they_o more_o abundasit_o the_o endeles_a goodness_n of_o heaven_n for_o their_o pasyence_n /_o &_o thus_o my_o mercy_n &_o charyte_n shine_v upon_o worldly_a man_n ¶_o otherwhile_o also_o in_o parsecueyon_n that_o servant_n of_o the_o world_n do_v to_o my_o servant_n /_o for_o such_o parsecucy_a once_o they_o be_v preve_v in_o pasyence_n and_o in_o charyte_n /_o the_o which_o they_o offer_v to_o i_o with_o meek_a contynuall_a prayer_n in_o their_o parsecucyon_n /_o and_o so_o worship_n and_o praise_v be_v yield_v to_o my_o name_n ¶_o in_o this_o manner_n the_o world_n will_n he_o or_o not_o he_o yield_v praise_v &_o glory_n to_o my_o name_n /_o though_o his_o intent_n be_v not_o therefore_o /_o but_o rather_o for_o to_o do_v to_o mereprefe_n and_o

worship_n and_o praise_v to_o my_o name_n /_o and_z so_o in_o they_o be_v fulfyl_v my_o truth_n that_o i_o make_v they_o /_o for_z that_o worshy_a p_o a_o praise_v of_o i_o /_o &_o that_o they_o shall_v take_v ête_a of_o my_o fairness_n ¶_o but_o when_o the_o fiend_n rebel_v to_o i_o by_o his_o pride_n /_o he_o fall_v down_o &_o be_v depart_v &_o delyver_v from_o my_o sight_n ¶_o and_o therefore_o now_o because_o they_o may_v not_o yield_v to_o i_o praise_v by_o by_o love_n of_o hery_n charyte_n in_o themselves_o ¶_o cherfore_o i_o send_v they_o as_o instru_fw-la mentes_fw-la of_o
