in_o the_o book_n of_o job_n the_o first_o chapter_n we_o be_v plain_o teach_v first_o that_o the_o devil_n can_v not_o touch_v job_n nor_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v he_o then_o that_o have_v leave_n

in_o that_o place_n to_o our_o rude_a capacity_n it_o be_v very_o true_a and_o so_o do_v he_o in_o many_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v it_o follow_v therefore_o that_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o we_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o thing_n spiritual_a and_o therefore_o they_o be_v set_v forth_o under_o the_o form_n of_o thing_n corporal_a and_o visible_a we_o may_v not_o imagine_v that_o

therefore_o the_o devil_n do_v it_o not_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o if_o the_o devil_n do_v those_o thing_n then_o be_v he_o able_a to_o raise_v up_o mighty_a wind_n tempest_n lightning_n and_o

not_o man_n think_v that_o upon_o leave_n he_o can_v do_v the_o other_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o scripture_n ascribe_v the_o wind_n the_o tempest_n the_o hail_n and_o the_o mighty_a thunder_n and_o
