and_o which_o care_v not_o so_o much_o of_o the_o language_n but_o they_o have_v yet_o a_o great_a vice_n common_a with_o the_o first_o that_o be_v that_o they_o delight_v not_o in_o read_v any_o

of_o our_o religion_n yet_o nevertheless_o that_o sort_n of_o people_n can_v apply_v themselves_o to_o read_v those_o good_a book_n and_o can_v take_v no_o taste_n of_o they_o because_o that_o their_o

the_o flesh_n and_o the_o ear_n more_o than_o to_o edify_v the_o conscience_n yet_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o cause_n which_o move_v i_o to_o write_v and_o proceed_v after_o a_o other_o manner_n than_o those_o which_o have_v write_v before_o i_o for_o i_o consider_v that_o many_o do_v leave_v off_o to_o read_v they_o not_o only_o forbid_v because_o it_o be_v forbid_v in_o many_o country_n kingdom_n and_o segmory_n to_o read_v good_a book_n which_o speak_v of_o god_o
we_o see_v it_o by_o experience_n in_o young_a child_n merchant_n gentleman_n damoisel_n and_o courtier_n who_o after_o that_o they_o have_v taste_v of_o such_o book_n be_v clean_o out_o of_o taste_n &_o can_v away_o with_o all_o other_o which_o be_v not_o like_a unto_o they_o wherefore_o i_o will_v glad_o counsel_v such_o man_n of_o so_o good_a a_o mind_n and_o spirit_n which_o give_v themselves_o to_o make_v such_o book_n and_o i_o desire_v and_o pray_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o much_o as_o they_o love_v his_o honour_n and_o they_o to_o apply_v
