the_o ear_n of_o man_n and_o these_o be_v little_o better_o than_o a_o noise_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o heaven_n who_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o profane_a be_v a_o vain_a show_n who_o to_o day_n swear_v by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o to_o morrow_n call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o day_n eat_v unto_o gluttony_n and_o drink_v unto_o drunkenness_n to_o

too_o must_v loathe_v such_o impious_a vanity_n as_o this_o be_v who_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o idolatrous_a and_o superstitious_a worshipper_n walk_v in_o a_o vain_a show_n who_o worship_n
