therefore_o it_o have_v have_v great_a and_o grave_a patroness_n but_o how_o it_o draw_v near_o unto_o the_o truth_n hereby_o we_o easy_o gather_v that_o there_o be_v none_o more_o certain_a nor_o

therefore_o be_v the_o near_a power_n or_o faculty_n unto_o felicity_n good_a why_o virtue_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a good_a but_o why_o the_o same_o can_v be_v the_o chief_a good_a &_o felicity_n

if_o by_o set_v aside_o all_o civil_a duty_n they_o shall_v utterlie_o abandon_v themselves_o to_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n for_o we_o be_v not_o stoic_n to_o think_v that_o all_o sin_n be_v alike_o
