for_o say_v he_o when_o i_o look_v back_o on_o my_o life_n as_o it_o be_v before_o i_o do_v pray_v to_o god_n i_o see_v it_o to_o be_v whole_o nought_o and_o do_v whole_o dislike_v it_o and_o hate_v

before_o i_o pray_v unto_o god_n the_o english_a when_o i_o come_v unto_o their_o house_n often_o say_v unto_o i_o pray_v to_o god_n but_o i_o have_v many_o friend_n who_o love_v i_o and_o i_o love_v

then_o you_o come_v unto_o we_o and_o teach_v we_o and_o say_v unto_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o after_o that_o my_o heart_n grow_v strong_a and_o i_o be_v no_o more_o ashamed_a to_o pray_v but_o i_o do_v take_v up_o pray_v to_o god_n yet_o at_o first_o i_o do_v not_o think_v of_o god_n and_o eternal_a life_n but_o only_o that_o the_o english_a shall_v love_v i_o and_o i_o love_v they_o but_o after_o i_o come_v to_o learn_v what_o sin_n be_v by_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o then_o i_o see_v all_o my_o sin_n lust_n game_n etc._n etc._n he_o name_v more_o you_o teach_v that_o
