for_o with_o herb_n leave_n and_o grass_n the_o green_a colour_n may_v be_v make_v both_o for_o linen_n and_o for_o woollen_a nay_o take_v a_o maid_n and_o lay_v she_o but_o along_o on_o the_o grass_n

the_o beast_n in_o token_n of_o humility_n and_o patience_n and_o further_o add_v that_o all_o other_o colour_n cost_v something_o if_o it_o be_v but_o labour_n but_o the_o colour_n of_o the_o beast_n will_v cost_v nothing_o at_o all_o but_o to_o all_o this_o they_o that_o be_v for_o green_n or_o smokey_n colour_n reply_v that_o they_o who_o dispute_v for_o the_o colour_n of_o the_o beast_n show_v

white_a beside_o if_o they_o wear_v the_o colour_n of_o the_o sheep_n it_o may_v give_v occasion_n unto_o man_n to_o censure_v they_o for_o be_v wolf_n in_o sheep_n clothing_n they_o urge_v also_o

be_v no_o black_a sheep_n as_o in_o berry_n lymoges_n and_o languedoc_n in_o which_o country_n they_o must_v be_v force_v to_o die_v their_o wool_n and_o that_o will_v make_v it_o dear_a and_o by_o
