pretend_v a_o noble_a spirit_n shall_v ever_o reject_v the_o one_o or_o close_o with_o the_o other_o from_o a_o expectation_n though_o of_o the_o great_a advantage_n which_o the_o world_n can_v give_v or_o man_n receive_v wherefore_o my_o brethren_n if_o this_o temptation_n shall_v ever_o chance_v to_o be_v lay_v in_o your_o way_n shall_v the_o world_n invite_v you_o to_o a_o new_a and_o false_a

espouse_v and_o own_a a_o religion_n so_o pure_a so_o chaste_a so_o immaculate_a and_o undefiled_a that_o it_o be_v exceed_o hard_a to_o find_v the_o least_o pretence_n but_o impossible_a to_o find_v any_o just_a cause_n to_o make_v a_o divorce_n betwixt_o it_o and_o you_o and_o if_o so_o how_o unworthy_a a_o act_n must_v it_o be_v to_o forsake_v and_o cast_v she_o off_o how_o ignoble_a be_v it_o shall_v we_o suffer_v ourselves_o like_o 196._o natalius_n of_o old_a to_o be_v corrupt_v and_o base_o bribe_v into_o apostasy_n be_v not_o this_o to_o tell_v mankind_n that_o we_o prefer_v earth_n

prevail_v with_o many_o to_o quit_v a_o true_a and_o take_v up_o a_o false_a i_o remember_v saint_n judas_n do_v thus_o command_v we_o verse_n 3_o contend_v earnest_o for_o the_o faith_n dispute_v
