since_o this_o jerusalem_n resemble_v the_o church_n whereof_o we_o be_v member_n which_o as_o jerom_o speak_v psalm_n be_v not_o full_o build_v but_o be_v daily_o a_o build_n wherein_o not_o dead_a

where_o hear_v man_n complain_v of_o and_o tax_v our_o many_o iarring_n &_o idle_a disagreement_n let_v no_o man_n ask_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o take_v unto_o i_o these_o word_n of_o exhortation_n o_o pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n let_v they_o prosper_v that_o love_n she_o when_o many_o in_o our_o church_n walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n not_o after_o the_o spirit_n seek_v to_o
