be_v not_o deceive_v god_n be_v not_o mock_v for_o what_o soever_o a_o man_n sow_v that_o shall_v he_o also_o reap_v for_o he_o that_o sow_v in_o his_o flesh_n shall_v of_o the_o flesh_n reap_v

dede_n whether_o we_o have_v gentle_a scholar_n or_o ungentle_a whether_o we_o have_v a_o reward_n of_o man_n or_o not_o for_o when_o the_o time_n shall_v come_v we_o shall_v gather_v fruit_n which_o shall_v never_o dye_v and_o receyve_v for_o our_o temporal_a labour_n wage_n everlasting_a sow_v time_n shall_v not_o always_o continue_v the_o â—_o time_n shall_v come_v when_o we_o shall_v neither_o
