within_o you_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o come_v to_o the_o low_a degree_n of_o religion_n it_o be_v a_o good_a &_o pleasant_a thing_n for_o sister_n to_o dwell_v in_o one_o that_o be_v in_o one_o bond_n of_o love_n and_o affection_n of_o charity_n who_o do_v help_v one_o another_o in_o tentation_n &_o mutual_o administer_v to_o each_o other_o the_o office_n of_o charity_n and_o piety_n wherefore_o let_v there_o be_v one_o heart_n one_o soul_n in_o you_o corporal_o unite_v for_o certrine_o there_o be_v no_o life_n worse_o than_o to_o live_v together_o in_o body_n and_o not_o in_o mind_n and_o they_o be_v true_o unhappy_a in_o who_o there_o be_v not_o one_o will_n but_o diverse_a therefore_o let_v there_o be_v always_o in_o you_o one_o affection_n one_o fraternity_n one_o will_v one_o
