time_n thou_o may_v comfort_v and_o quicken_v i_o again_o through_o jesus_n christ_n thy_o dear_o belove_a son_n amen_n after_o this_o sort_n i_o say_v or_o otherwise_o as_o thou_o think_v good_a if_o

to_o use_v these_o mean_n follow_v unto_o prayer_n which_o i_o will_v thou_o shall_v first_o use_v as_o thou_o can_v second_o get_v thou_o god_n law_n as_o a_o glass_n to_o toot_v in_o for_o in_o it_o

this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o difference_n between_o god_n law_n and_o man_n law_n that_o of_o this_o man_n law_n i_o mean_v i_o be_o not_o contemnable_a so_o long_o as_o i_o observe_v outward_o the_o

if_o hatred_n be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o heart_n than_o loftiness_n in_o look_n detraction_n in_o tongue_n and_o murder_n by_o hand_n can_v never_o ensue_v if_o lust_a be_v out_o of_o the_o heart_n
