these_o be_v symptom_n of_o a_o bad_a mind_n wherein_o malice_n envy_n and_o spite_n have_v eat_v up_o all_o love_a respect_n unto_o our_o brethren_n 2._o a_o mind_n willing_a to_o pardon_v offence_n do_v to_o we_o and_o to_o seek_v reconciliation_n where_o we_o have_v give_v they_o this_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a matter_n to_o put_v in_o practice_n man_n mind_n be_v so_o full_a of_o pride_n scorn_n

wherefore_o they_o resolve_v to_o take_v no_o wrong_n to_o do_v no_o right_n this_o be_v far_o from_o christian_a charity_n which_o be_v always_o accompany_v with_o a_o patient_a peaceable_a and_o

nor_o care_n for_o their_o love_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v at_o a_o point_n if_o themselves_o receive_v hurt_v they_o will_v right_v themselves_o if_o they_o can_v if_o they_o do_v hurt_v let_v

those_o heavenly_a grace_n of_o chief_a mark_n that_o receive_v life_n and_o strength_n from_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n remember_v in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o the_o effect_n of_o they_o all_o
