the_o peace_n sake_n and_o good_a of_o man_n that_o i_o may_v make_v out_o my_o mind_n in_o brief_a i_o will_v first_o give_v notice_n according_a to_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o world_n now_o as_o there_o be_v heretofore_o these_o three_o rank_n or_o degree_n of_o man_n the_o first_o be_v and_o be_v such_o that_o live_v whole_o

best_o every_o one_o follow_v the_o imagination_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n it_o please_v god_n for_o a_o remembrance_n of_o himself_o in_o all_o age_n to_o reserve_v a_o people_n which_o he_o have_v always_o make_v ready_a and_o prepare_v for_o himself_o in_o the_o furnace_n of_o affliction_n as_o he_o do_v the_o remnant_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n in_o egypt_n these_o be_v the_o second_o

altogether_o at_o the_o dispose_n of_o this_o their_o supreme_a sovereign_n king_n and_o lord_n he_o humble_v himself_o and_o condescend_v for_o a_o while_n and_o season_n to_o take_v of_o they_o only_o some_o remembrance_n as_o some_o part_n of_o their_o time_n as_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o instead_o of_o the_o whole_a and_o so_o some_o part_n of_o their_o corn_n wine_n and_o oil_n and_o

the_o bishop_n heretofore_o in_o this_o land_n the_o ancestor_n of_o these_o since_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o go_v forward_o to_o the_o purity_n holiness_n divinity_n and_o self-denial_n of_o
