second_o we_o must_v deny_v ourselves_o as_o in_o our_o great_a place_n and_o honour_n and_o dignity_n so_o likewise_o in_o our_o profit_n pleasure_n in_o all_o our_o carnal_a worldly_a enjoiment_n

this_o be_v once_o learned_a be_v that_o which_o will_v carry_v you_o along_o through_o all_o oppsition_n in_o a_o way_n of_o truth_n perhaps_o the_o poor_a creature_n resolve_v with_o flesh_n &_o
