man_n therefore_o it_o behove_v each_o person_n first_o to_o seek_v the_o knowledge_n of_o those_o law_n under_o which_o he_o do_v live_v and_o whereby_o he_o be_v to_o receive_v benefit_n or_o to_o

ofttimes_o taste_v the_o smart_n of_o they_o and_o repent_v their_o folly_n when_o it_o be_v too_o late_o notwithstanding_o for_o that_o there_o be_v many_o other_o which_o do_v endeavour_n to_o

for_o the_o eschew_v of_o the_o penalty_n of_o they_o &_o yet_o do_v not_o whole_o addict_v themselves_o to_o the_o study_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o as_o near_o as_o i_o can_v to_o satisfy_v the_o
