distemper_v with_o violence_n of_o passion_n for_o alas_o what_o good_a be_v it_o to_o have_v still_o water_n and_o turbulent_a spirit_n he_o restore_v it_o indeed_o to_o life_n that_o be_v grow_v

which_o no_o shepherd_n ever_o do_v but_o he_o saint_n peter_n lay_v down_o his_o life_n but_o he_o give_v not_o his_o life_n for_o he_o will_v perhaps_o have_v keep_v it_o if_o he_o may_v and_o he_o

again_o with_o the_o great_a joy_n for_o though_o he_o leave_v his_o life_n yet_o he_o leave_v not_o his_o sheep_n but_o have_v a_o care_n of_o they_o even_o in_o death_n for_o he_o have_v power_n

every_o shepherd_n know_v that_o sheep_n be_v subject_a to_o many_o infirmity_n and_o know_v many_o infirmity_n to_o which_o they_o be_v subject_a and_o therefore_o be_v never_o without_o his_o box_n

that_o be_v the_o way_n itself_o i_o may_v be_v sure_a i_o can_v possible_o go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n but_o alas_o o_o lord_n these_o path_n of_o righteousness_n have_v a_o long_a time_n so_o little_o be_v frequent_v that_o all_o print_n of_o a_o path_n be_v almost_o clean_o wear_v out_o that_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n now_o but_o to_o find_v where_o the_o path_n lie_v and_o if_o we_o can_v find_v they_o yet_o they_o be_v so_o narrow_a and_o so_o full_a of_o rub_v that_o without_o special_a assistance_n it_o be_v a_o impossible_a thing_n not_o to_o fall_v or_o go_v astray_o even_o some_o angel_n and_o those_o no_o mean_a one_o be_v not_o able_a to_o go_v right_a in_o these_o path_n of_o righteousness_n but_o for_o want_v of_o lead_v go_v awry_o and_o perish_v o_o therefore_o thou_o the_o great_a shepherd_n of_o my_o soul_n as_o thou_o be_v please_v of_o thy_o grace_n to_o lead_v i_o into_o they_o so_o vouchsafe_v with_o thy_o grace_n to_o lead_v i_o in_o they_o for_o though_o in_o themselves_o they_o be_v path_n of_o righteousness_n yet_o to_o i_o they_o will_v be_v but_o path_n of_o error_n if_o thou_o vouchsafe_v not_o as_o well_o to_o lead_v i_o in_o they_o

dwell_v in_o god_n house_n they_o see_v these_o thing_n continual_o therefore_o they_o that_o dwell_v in_o his_o house_n will_v always_o be_v praise_v he_o but_o be_v it_o not_o a_o strange_a reason_n of_o blessedness_n to_o say_v they_o be_v bless_v because_o they_o be_v still_o praise_v he_o to_o be_v praise_v themselves_o may_v perhaps_o be_v some_o blessedness_n but_o what_o blessedness_n can_v
