whereunto_o i_o purpose_v to_o refer_v whatsoever_o i_o shall_v deliver_v in_o far_a open_n of_o this_o text_n now_o because_o you_o may_v mistake_v in_o your_o devotion_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v be_v persuade_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n to_o listen_v attentive_o to_o what_o shall_v be_v say_v that_o you_o may_v learn_v of_o king_n david_n to_o pass_v a_o true_a judgement_n upon_o all_o

of_o sacrifice_n another_o dedicatory_a which_o be_v call_v a_o holocaust_n and_o be_v here_o translate_v a_o burn_a offering_n but_o you_o must_v understand_v it_o burn_v not_o in_o part_n but_o whole_o therefore_o it_o be_v sometime_o call_v a_o whole-burnt-offering_a these_o two_o offering_n go_v together_o in_o the_o ceremonial_a reconciliation_n of_o a_o sinner_n we_o find_v it_o so_o
