which_o speak_v of_o evil_a shepherd_n that_o do_v contrary_a unto_o christ_n &_o say_v ought_v not_o the_o flock_n suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v feed_v of_o the_o shepherd_n why_o therefore_o do_v you_o feed_v yourselves_o flock_n evil_a shepherd_n how_o they_o behave_v themselves_o and_o govern_v their_o flock_n you_o have_v eat_v the_o milk_n of_o the_o sheep_n you_o have_v clothe_v yourselves_o with_o the_o will_v the_o best_a feed_v you_o have_v slay_v but_o my_o flock_n have_v you_o not_o feed_v the_o weak_a have_v you_o not_o strengthen_v the_o sick_a have_v you_o not_o

you_o rule_v they_o and_o now_o my_o sheep_n be_v scatter_v for_o that_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o shepherd_n yea_o all_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n devour_v they_o and_o they_o be_v disperse_v over_o all_o mountain_n and_o over_o the_o whole_a earth_n that_o which_o he_o here_o say_v be_v well_o to_o be_v mark_v his_o very_a meaning_n in_o this_o place_n be_v that_o he_o will_v have_v the_o weak_a sick_a break_a abject_n and_o lose_v to_o be_v strengthen_v heal_v cure_v seek_v not_o spoil_v and_o destroy_v these_o thing_n you_o ought_v to_o do_v say_v he_o to_o the_o

again_o that_o which_o be_v drive_v away_o will_v i_o bring_v again_o and_o to_o that_o which_o be_v not_o well_o will_v i_o give_v a_o remedy_n and_o heal_v it_o here_o thou_o see_v that_o the_o
