godly_a life_n the_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n as_o much_o as_o possible_o may_v be_v do_v spread_v his_o lightsome_a beam_n in_o every_o place_n &_o upon_o every_o thing_n in_o common_a so_o do_v the_o light_n of_o grace_n from_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n can_v enter_v into_o that_o house_n where_o the_o door_n and_o window_n be_v shut_v of_o purpose_n

of_o that_o man_n which_o be_v bar_v up_o in_o the_o darkness_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o heart_n that_o be_v full_a of_o the_o watery_a humour_n of_o lustful_a concupiscence_n even_o as_o it_o be_v

redemption_n as_o he_o carry_v his_o instrument_n in_o vain_a that_o will_v not_o work_v with_o it_o so_o do_v he_o that_o have_v receive_v grace_n &_o will_v not_o work_v out_o his_o salvation_n
