the_o preach_v that_o shall_v break_v it_o can_v not_o be_v good_a for_o one_o good_a thing_n can_v destroy_v another_o but_o the_o former_a peace_n be_v not_o in_o god_n but_o in_o the_o flesh_n neither_o be_v it_o so_o great_a as_o you_o will_v seem_v for_o to_o set_v it_o forth_o because_o that_o the_o worldling_n be_v always_o at_o strife_n and_o one_o ready_a for_o to_o cut_v another_o

seem_v among_o themselves_o to_o be_v at_o peace_n and_o one_o to_o love_n and_o make_v much_o of_o another_o ath._n where_o be_v the_o fault_n then_o for_o to_o be_v lay_v zealot_n upon_o the_o

still_o at_o the_o worst_a zealot_n nay_o you_o be_v so_o deep_a in_o your_o speech_n that_o you_o utter_v more_o in_o a_o word_n than_o a_o man_n can_v well_o lay_v open_a in_o a_o hour_n talk_n again_o i_o take_v you_o not_o at_o the_o worst_a for_o make_v the_o best_a of_o it_o you_o can_v and_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o those_o which_o care_v not_o for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n care_v not_o for_o he_o neither_o do_v they_o delight_v in_o he_o or_o love_v he_o which_o do_v not_o delight_v in_o he_o nor_o love_n his_o word_n moreover_o how_o shall_v a_o man_n take_v delight_n for_o to_o know_v the_o word_n but_o it_o will_v cause_v he_o for_o to_o seek_v to_o know_v it_o that_o which_o be_v a_o man_n jewel_n he_o will_v some_o time_n look_v upon_o it_o but_o there_o be_v
