good_a work_n that_o come_v of_o such_o a_o pureness_n of_o conscience_n doubtless_o be_v strong_a and_o allow_v before_o god_n for_o since_o god_n see_v his_o own_o ryghtuousnesse_n in_o they_o he_o

beside_o this_o although_o y_z ●_o ryghtuousnes_n of_o god_n can_v be_v content_a and_o please_v with_o one_o good_a deed_n only_o and_o no_o mo_z yet_o shall_v not_o god_n find_v so_o much_o as_o
