because_o he_o be_v not_o rid_v of_o this_o desire_n of_o seek_v honour_n among_o man_n and_o thus_o now_o while_o the_o way_n of_o god_n be_v in_o reproach_n as_o you_o know_v it_o be_v not_o long_o since_o it_o be_v when_o it_o may_v be_v many_o wellwisher_n to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o way_n of_o god_n in_o their_o heart_n yet_o dare_v not_o confess_v for_o fear_v of_o idolater_n who_o
