as_o they_o be_v in_o word_n into_o your_o memory_n but_o as_o you_o come_v to_o a_o measure_n of_o the_o light_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o yourselves_o which_o be_v the_o same_o in_o you_o

for_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o it_o be_v say_v remember_v thy_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n then_o consider_v that_o scripture_n well_o and_o examine_v

and_o hear_v they_o and_o the_o priest_n have_v be_v give_v meaning_n to_o they_o long_o enough_o but_o what_o better_a be_v such_o for_o read_v and_o hear_v they_o or_o for_o the_o priest_n meaning_n either_o concern_v they_o who_o be_v from_o the_o spirit_n in_o themselves_o from_o which_o they_o be_v give_v forth_o and_o so_o know_v not_o the_o fulfil_n of_o they_o and_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o christ_n say_v i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n he_o that_o follow_v i_o shall_v not_o abide_v in_o darkness_n then_o consider_v where_o you_o be_v for_o if_o you_o

that_o be_v decree_v which_o in_o any_o place_n may_v bind_v the_o conscience_n but_o break_v they_o down_o and_o lay_v they_o waste_v for_o they_o bring_v distress_n and_o sorrow_n every_o way_n for_o many_o innocent_a people_n come_v under_o hard_a usage_n in_o outward_a suffering_n by_o they_o and_o such_o as_o make_v they_o and_o execute_v they_o they_o come_v under_o the_o hand_n of_o
