&_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o man_n do_v not_o only_o serve_v god_n of_o love_n as_o the_o angel_n do_v but_o also_o with_o labour_n &_o pain_n which_o they_o do_v not_o for_o he_o labour_v more_o in_o serve_v he_o one_o day_n than_o they_o have_v do_v since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n &_o therefore_o do_v god_n singuler_o delight_n in_o our_o prayer_n &_o other_o good_a work_n
