such_o a_o prince_n there_o be_v sure_a hope_n of_o salvation_n and_o thus_o far_o do_v the_o scribe_n recite_v the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o no_o far_o they_o fear_v peradventure_o lest_o

where_o the_o promise_n be_v &_o we_o embrace_v it_o with_o faith_n that_o be_v a_o true_a &_o christian_a faith_n as_o we_o see_v in_o this_o ruler_n he_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o desire_v he_o to_o go_v down_o with_o he_o and_o to_o help_v his_o son_n the_o ruler_n take_v it_o very_o hevy_o and_o be_v great_o afraid_a for_o he_o dread_v great_o least_o that_o if_o he_o borough_n not_o

in_o this_o world_n for_o a_o christian_a man_n but_o those_o trouble_n be_v short_a transitory_a and_o of_o no_o continuance_n against_o all_o these_o thing_n the_o word_n teach_v i_o that_o here_o
