attend_v the_o closet_n which_o i_o may_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o vacancy_n when_o man_n have_v a_o closet_n to_o talk_v of_o not_o to_o pray_v in_o a_o closet_n to_o look_v upon_o not_o to_o

this_o be_v it_o to_o wit_n to_o depart_v from_o the_o sweet_a the_o pleasure_n and_o profi●_n of_o iniquity_n there_o be_v that_o call_v evil_a good_a iniquity_n good_a and_o that_o of_o professor_n
