diverse_a interpretation_n the_o which_o i_o will_v recy●●_n some_o to_o the_o end_n that_o thou_o shall_v not_o think_v that_o i_o do_v condemn_v all_o the_o other_o which_o have_v expound_v it_o

the_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o prison_n because_o that_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v dead_a through_o sin_n be_v hold_v by_o the_o same_o as_o a_o prisoner_n which_o be_v in_o bond_n and_o fetters_n

to_o go_v thither_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n to_o pray_v unto_o god_o that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o to_o give_v we_o his_o grace_n to_o know_v his_o will_n and_o to_o be_v able_a to_o
