let_v we_o therefore_o take_v this_o buckler_n too_o repulse_n and_o put_v back_o all_o fear_n wherewith_o we_o be_v assail_v and_o let_v we_o not_o restrain_v the_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n too_o

all_o that_o be_v in_o this_o world_n it_o remain_v now_o that_o we_o see_v by_o what_o mean_v we_o may_v attain_v theereto_o now_o this_o be_v not_o in_o we_o to_o devise_v but_o we_o must_v take_v
