judge_n or_o lawyer_n be_v permit_v to_o a_o christian_n man_n for_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o use_v civil_a ordinance_n &_o these_o ordinance_n be_v of_o force_n not_o only_o

in_o this_o order_n first_o of_o all_o ourselves_o let_v he_o be_v merciful_a to_o himself_o that_o be_v let_v he_o give_v the_o first_o alm_n to_o himself_o which_o then_o be_v do_v when_o a_o man_n

alm_n more_o divine_a than_o this_o none_o more_o profitable_a final_o none_o more_o necessary_a for_o as_o the_o soul_n do_v excel_v the_o body_n so_o alm_n whereby_o the_o soul_n be_v refresh_v be_v

esteem_v than_o all_o the_o commodity_n of_o this_o life_n which_o continue_v but_o a_o short_a time_n so_o the_o alm_n which_o help_v to_o the_o attain_v of_o eternal_a life_n be_v more_o to_o be_v

aught_o to_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o give_v alm_n be_v very_o many_o among_o which_o these_o be_v the_o chief_a the_o first_o cause_n be_v christianity_n itself_o alm_n or_o the_o profession_n of_o
