to_o every_o good_a as_o we_o be_v to_o evil_n teach_v we_o to_o remember_v our_o sin_n that_o thou_o may_v forget_v they_o and_o let_v our_o sorrow_n here_o prevent_v the_o sorrow_n to_o come_v we_o

thou_o to_o take_v we_o from_o thou_o but_o make_v thy_o word_n unto_o we_o like_o the_o star_n which_o lead_v unto_o christ_n make_v thy_o benefit_n like_o the_o pillar_n which_o bring_v to_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n make_v thy_o cross_n like_o the_o messenger_n which_o compel_v guest_n unto_o the_o banquet_n that_o we_o may_v walk_v before_o man_n like_o example_n and_o always_o look_v

holy_a ghost_n and_o all_o our_o peace_n to_o the_o peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o all_o our_o fear_n to_o the_o fear_n of_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v love_v righteousness_n with_o as_o great_a good_a

saint_n john_n write_v to_o a_o lady_n 1._o which_o bring_v up_o her_o child_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n call_v she_o the_o elect_a lady_n show_v that_o the_o chief_a honour_n of_o lady_n and_o
