therefore_o too_o waken_v we_o thorough_o both_o from_o our_o slothfulness_n and_o from_o our_o retchlessness_n we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n that_o see_v god_n have_v call_v we_o into_o his_o

will_v have_v keep_v himself_o from_o do_v so_o unlawful_a and_o utter_o unexcusable_a a_o deed_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o beware_v let_v we_o i_o say_v beware_v that_o we_o suffer_v not_o

that_o as_o paul_n allege_v afterward_o god_n have_v in_o his_o law_n set_v down_o a_o more_o general_a term_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n honour_n for_o god_n mean_v too_o do_v we_o too_o understand_v

and_o moother_n therunder_o he_o mean_v too_o comprehend_v reverence_n and_o moreover_o a_o performance_n of_o all_o duty_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o child_n shall_v understand_v that_o they_o

of_o we_o all_o and_o also_o as_o manifest_v as_o may_v be_v howbeit_o besyd_n that_o which_o we_o know_v natural_o god_n add_v his_o own_o will_n for_o a_o further_o and_o more_o ample_a

thereunto_o they_o have_v not_o the_o help_n that_o we_o have_v and_o yet_o they_o perform_v their_o duty_n that_o then_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o saint_n paul_n intend_v in_o say_v that_o child_n

we_o look_v too_o the_o discharge_n of_o his_o own_o duty_n in_o deed_n i_o can_v as_o now_o go_v through_o with_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v enjoin_v here_o to_o child_n &_o to_o father_n &_o mother_n
