by_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cock_n crow_v acknowledge_v his_o sin_n and_o confess_v himself_o guilty_a bewail_v his_o offence_n with_o many_o tear_n therefore_o it_o be_v man_n own_o will_n and_o

in_o this_o that_o he_o give_v unto_o man_n a_o will_n which_o he_o foreknow_v he_o will_v abuse_v for_o why_o albeit_o he_o foreknewe_a that_o he_o will_v abuse_v it_o yet_o he_o give_v it_o not_o

notwithstanding_o inasmuch_o as_o he_o dispose_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o certain_a and_o profitable_a counsel_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n because_o man_n commit_v evil_a not_o in_o respect_n

therefore_o i_o say_v be_v god_n exempt_v from_o all_o spot_n of_o blame_n and_o man_n only_o find_v guilty_a of_o sin_n second_o it_o seem_v that_o this_o also_o may_v not_o be_v say_v amiss_o that_o
