from_o one_o sin_n and_o defile_v themselves_o with_o another_o free_a from_o adultery_n but_o defile_v with_o drunkenness_n or_o free_a from_o drunkenness_n but_o defile_v with_o envy_n but_o he_o

to_o be_v more_o particular_a as_o if_o the_o apostle_n shall_v counsel_v these_o christian_n to_o abstain_v especial_o from_o such_o lust_n as_o the_o gentile_n among_o who_o they_o live_v be_v
