which_o be_v in_o former_a time_n must_v of_o necessity_n in_o all_o thing_n agree_v with_o the_o scripture_n whereupon_o i_o search_v the_o scripture_n compare_v my_o condition_n with_o it_o and_o

i_o in_o this_o manner_n i_o must_v not_o do_v this_o thing_n why_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v know_v it_o will_v be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o my_o name_n and_o i_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a to_o look_v any_o
