second_o it_o blame_v those_o who_o have_v most_o desire_v after_o gold_n and_o riches_n and_o after_o the_o thing_n and_o pleasure_n of_o the_o world_n they_o have_v little_a desire_n after_o god_n

it_o reprove_v those_o that_o rest_n in_o their_o desire_n and_o labour_v not_o to_o accomplish_v their_o desire_n they_o dont_fw-fr put_v forth_o their_o desire_n into_o endeavour_n and_o those_o

of_o god_n
be_v more_o desirable_a than_o gold_n and_o silver_n then_o here_o we_o may_v see_v who_o be_v the_o rich_a man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o have_v the_o best_a treasure_n even_o those_o that_o have_v
