right_n of_o the_o church_n and_o i_o resolve_v and_o vow_v that_o whatsoever_o i_o recover_v i_o will_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n whole_o bestow_v it_o upon_o the_o reparation_n of_o the_o

in_o vain_a and_o i_o have_v spend_v my_o strength_n for_o nought_o and_o see_v the_o partiality_n and_o injustice_n of_o man_n i_o will_v with_o patience_n submit_v myself_o to_o that_o strength_n which_o be_v beyond_o my_o ability_n to_o oppose_v and_o study_v to_o serve_v my_o god_n another_o way_n because_o i_o see_v that_o as_o david_n say_v the_o son_n of_o zervia_n be_v too_o strong_a for_o i_o because_o we_o that_o be_v faithful_a to_o our_o king_n be_v fleece_v and_o bareshorne_a and_o leave_v poor_a and_o beggarly_a and_o they_o that_o serve_v the_o beast_n and_o adhear_v to_o
