of_o alm_n &_o mass_n do_v far_o more_o avail_v thou_o then_o if_o thou_o weert_v out_o of_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n this_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o doctrine_n of_o s._n thomas_n in_o the_o

to_o complain_v of_o thou_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o secular_a man_n in_o thus_o do_v thou_o may_v leave_v thy_o heir_n in_o peace_n without_o stryf_v which_o be_v the_o best_a inheritance_n that_o thou_o may_v leave_v unto_o they_o &_o moreover_o thou_o do_v therein_o the_o better_o provyde_v for_o thy_o salvation_n &_o they_o and_o therefore_o thou_o ought_v in_o any_o case_n to_o observe_v this_o

spiritual_a testament_n after_o the_o example_n of_o many_o saint_n which_o have_v speak_v in_o their_o testament_n not_o of_o wordly_a wealth_n &_o earthly_a possession_n but_o of_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n rule_n the_o thir●_n rule_n the_o three_o rule_n of_o the_o art_n to_o die_v well_o which_o be_v to_o be_v practise_v in_o health_n be_v daily_a prayer_n to_o obtain_v at_o god_n
