of_o the_o whole_a word_n be_v not_o to_o be_v value_v to_o the_o worth_n of_o the_o soul_n for_o what_o shall_v it_o profit_v a_o man_n to_o win_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o lose_v his_o own_o soul_n we_o read_v that_o the_o holy_a saint_n have_v crucify_v their_o own_o body_n and_o chastise_v themselves_o with_o hard_a penance_n and_o all_o that_o they_o may_v save_v their_o soul_n 5.4_o gal._n 5.4_o for_o they_o that_o be_v christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o affection_n and_o lust_n of_o it_o o_o you_o holy_a saint_n and_o dear_a friend_n of_o god_n tell_v we_o o_o tell_v we_o why_o with_o so_o many_o watch_n so_o many_o prayer_n and_o so_o much_o discipline_n you_o have_v so_o cruel_o mortify_v your_o flesh_n o_o most_o glorious_a martyr_n why_o have_v you_o

for_o the_o soul_n therefore_o it_o be_v manifest_v the_o soul_n be_v more_o precious_a than_o all_o the_o other_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n see_v then_o all_o thing_n be_v but_o vile_a in_o
