of_o god_n or_o the_o creature_n but_o only_a thing_n necessary_a and_o that_o very_o fearful_o and_o as_o by_o free_a gift_n and_o not_o of_o right_n neither_o do_v he_o afford_v his_o body_n or_o

that_o all_o man_n depend_v whole_o and_o absolute_o on_o themselves_o be_v prone_a and_o ready_a to_o commit_v any_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n therefore_o as_o it_o be_v necessary_a and_o behoveful_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v ordinance_n ceremony_n law_n and_o precept_n whereby_o their_o blindness_n may_v be_v discover_v and_o their_o ungodliness_n reduce_v unto_o order_n which_o if_o it_o be_v
