of_o heart_n and_o mind_n walk_v you_o in_o the_o daily_a cross_n unto_o that_o part_n and_o nature_n which_o will_v crucify_v the_o son_n of_o god_n afresh_o and_o cause_v you_o to_o build_v again_o those_o thing_n which_o you_o once_o destroy_v by_o get_v up_o into_o a_o fleshly_a liberty_n and_o exaltation_n which_o be_v not_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o have_v dominion_n

of_o truth_n yet_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o root_n of_o life_n have_v withdraw_v itself_o their_o leaf_n will_v short_o wither_v and_o they_o become_v as_o corn_n that_o grow_v on_o the_o house_n
