master_n that_o be_v to_o god_n before_o who_o tribunal_n we_o shall_v all_o stand_v and_o give_v a_o account_n every_o one_o for_o himself_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o say_v he_o any_o more_o judge_v another_o but_o judge_v this_o rather_o that_o no_o man_n put_v a_o stumble_a block_n or_o a_o occasion_n to_o fall_v in_o his_o brother_n way_n my_o meaning_n herein_o thou_o may_v easy_o gather_v and_o god_n grant_v thou_o may_v use_v it_o to_o the_o benefit_n of_o thy_o own_o soul_n and_o christ_n small_a flock_n the_o second_o cause_n that_o move_v i_o to_o the_o publish_n hereof_o be_v the_o good_a that_o may_v hereby_o grow_v to_o those_o that_o be_v but_o light_o infect_v with_o papistry_n that_o by_o my_o example_n see_v my_o conversion_n and_o read_v my_o recantation_n they_o may_v be_v move_v to_o consider_v for_o the_o safety_n of_o their_o soul_n the_o great_a peril_n and_o imminent_a danger_n wherein_o they_o do_v continual_o live_v and_o so_o they_o may_v call_v to_o god_n for_o the_o heavenly_a unction_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o the_o precious_a gift_n of_o his_o grace_n that_o may_v cure_v their_o wound_n and_o lead_v they_o to_o the_o

a_o dog_n return_v yet_o to_o my_o vomit_n but_o far_o be_v that_o from_o i_o better_a it_o be_v for_o i_o never_o to_o have_v be_v bear_v then_o once_o to_o think_v on_o any_o such_o matter_n and_o i_o hope_v god_n that_o have_v do_v thus_o merciful_o by_o i_o and_o deal_v thus_o mighty_o with_o i_o have_v not_o nor_o will_v not_o bestow_v his_o grace_n in_o vain_a upon_o i_o but_o will_v
