than_o zele_n of_o soul_n do_v /_o it_o be_v good_a that_o every_o man_n dispose_v himself_o as_o nyghe_a as_o he_o can_v /_o to_z have_v that_o zele_n and_o if_o he_o may_v through_o grace_n come_v

saint_n paul_n of_o a_o great_a zele_n that_o he_o have_v to_o the_o people_n /_o say_v ¶_o if_o eating_a of_o flesh_n shall_v hurt_v my_o neighbour_n i_o will_v never_o eat_v flesh_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o say_a chapter_n he_o monyssh_v all_o they_o that_o will_v eat_v meet_a that_o be_v offer_v to_o ydolle_n before_o they_o that_o be_v new_o convert_v of_o the_o gentyle_n /_o
