             Aye
             brother
             Martin
             I
             did
             commend

             for
             indeed
             I
             think
             they
             might
             have
             had
             libertie
             to
             a
             gone
             a
             begging
             to
             what
             country
             they
             pleased
             at

             Mar.
             
          
           
             Truly
             I
             believe
             so
             they
             might
             ,
             at
             the
             rate
             we
             held
             on
             :
             neither
             did
             we
             care
             what
             end
             went
             foremost
             so
             we
             might
             have
             kept
             them
             low
             enough
             ,
             and
             by
             that
             means
             we
             knew
             we
             should
             rise
             high
             enough
             ;
             and
             then
             for
             sermons
             I
             believe
             we
             brought
             them
             to
             such
             a
             pass
             that
             there

             much
