to_o appoint_v the_o festival_n of_o saint_n for_o these_o two_o reason_n 1._o to_o offer_v up_o our_o humble_a thanks_o to_o god_n for_o all_o the_o signal_n instance_n of_o his_o great_a power_n &_o

in_o he_o who_o of_o himself_o be_v able_a to_o do_v nothing_o in_o the_o second_o we_o look_v down_o upon_o ourselves_o and_o conscious_a of_o our_o frailty_n we_o begin_v to_o pray_v with_o all_o humility_n that_o since_o his_o goodness_n have_v be_v heretofore_o so_o great_a he_o may_v continue_v it_o to_o we_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n this_o great_a saint_n remember_v the_o danger_n
