the_o humility_n of_o our_o prayer_n bend_v unto_o mercy_n the_o rigour_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o obtain_v of_o he_o that_o he_o will_v be_v more_o merciful_a unto_o we_o than_o we_o be_v

our_o will_n i_o apprehend_v well_o enough_o what_o offend_v you_o in_o this_o discourse_n it_o be_v the_o same_o thorn_n which_o gall_v i_o in_o time_n pass_v upon_o this_o very_a same_o way_n you_o

because_o they_o be_v not_o know_v they_o be_v not_o ill_o &_o do_v not_o abstain_v from_o they_o if_o the_o seat_n of_o sin_n be_v in_o our_o soul_n and_o that_o we_o can_v penetrate_v into_o it_o how_o shall_v we_o have_v notice_n of_o another_o man_n innocence_n see_v we_o know_v how_o often_o we_o have_v offend_v god_n ourselves_o without_o other_o can_v be_v able_a to_o perceive_v it_o

of_o god_n most_o precious_a and_o profitable_a to_o persuade_v you_o thereto_o it_o may_v suffice_v i_o have_v show_v you_o that_o they_o happen_v for_o a_o good_a cause_n and_o proceed_v from_o a_o
